I had not left the thread and I certainly don't thimk everything is hunky dory. Some people have to work and have life with family etc. I thank all those who commented both with positive and negative attitudes etc. in future we will just geocache for the fun and the pleasure and not worry about comments etc from CO,s or other cachers.

Yeah, but if someone is routinely violating basic geocaching etiquette, then there's a chance they're doing it out of ignorance, rather than malice. If they're doing it out of ignorance, then letting them know how their actions are perceived by others might actually help them. I like that point. But the OP is long gone from this thread in this case and thinks everything is hunky dory, after like the first 4 people, including a reviewer, told them the CO was an idiot for emailing them.

Okay, thanks. I'm not nasty so won't go back into the 20 caches but am tempted. Haha Thanks everyone. Have a great day or night which ever is appropriate. Bye and happy caching .

Sorry, what is SL?

Anyway, there are many more CO,s out there so might just give this grumpy old men a miss in the future. I acknowledged his comment in the first place but certainly didn't appreciate being sent the link for the Etiquette .no need to be nasty about it. Thanks for all your comments.

Exactly. We have found 254 without incident in Australia and the U.S. so not newcomers to the game.

I had Occassion last week to go and find about 20 caches hidden by the one CO. On one of these we were rushed for time and simply wrote TFTC with the intentions of adding to the log later (which we did). I received an email from the CO to say that he expectedmore than the TFTC . I replied and said that we were doing the follow up at that time. He rudely sent me the etiquette of Caching to read. Didn't bother to reply.

Thank you to all that have responded to my initial topic and query. We are very grateful for all of your comments and advice. We are going to be in America from 17th Sep to 17th Oct travelling go Los Angeles, San Francisco, Anaheim, Las Vegas, Washington, New York and Dallas. We are hoping to have the time to find at least 10 caches in each of these places. Thank you from Brisbane, Australia.

Thanks to those who have replied. Will take on board what you have said. Thanks

We are travelling to America from Australia in about 8 weeks time and intend to do so geocaching whilst there. is there anything we need to do to our phones (iPhone 4 and Samsung) before we go or when we get there to ensure we can use them whilst geocaching and discovering the sights of various cities in the US.
