AirRaidFan has deleted Daggy's rebuttal of her FTF. He has also deleted my log questioning his changing of the rules after Daggy's FTF. If anyone wants to read our deleted logs contact me and I will send them to you.

What a joke this guy is............ If I could get away with saying what I want to say I would, but he's not worth getting banned from GC.com. Just remember him in the future and make sure he met ALL requirements for any cache he did of yours.
I have sent the email to him and waiting on a reply. I try to make fairness of such a hard cache to get. No reply from the cacher and his log on mine will be deleted. I did not fine comb his caches, but I have since this episode on his cache. I will be fair if he will be. Keep a watch on my matrix cache for futher.

Daggy you desire a big hand for finishing the challenge. Sorry you are going through the beating of the cache police in KY. Some people need to learn it is just a game. This is a quote from the California cache the original cache that started it all.
"This should be fun and I'm counting on the honor system for sticking to the rules (especially the finds on caches published BEFORE this one). I will spot check the finds, but don't want to have to be the cache police on checking every find. Please "play" fair and have a good time!"
I am not going to travel just to prove a cache is a rating they call it. It is a game so some need to get a life and grow up.

When I thought that my coins were moving slowly. My #2 coin went from GA to OR. What a move. Know if I can get someone to get my #1 coin out of a cache that has only had two finds almost a month apart. Is there not much caching going on down my Mobile, AL?

Well we have in fact spent much time solving puzzle caches only to find that when we also got to the said cache site that it was still out of our grasp .. why .. well its because we did find the cache but we didn't sign the log ... you see we couldnt reach the cache as it was way up in a tree and we did not want to risk life or limb ( the trees or ours ) in order to retreive said cache . This was a dangerous cache we loved solving the puzzle and we at least know we did find the cache however we couldnt log a find .
So you see everyone has stories of such a nature . Should we complain about them all ... I think if that actually happened there would eventually be no caches left to find ... or no new caches being placed . If we are going to discuss dangerous caches lets include them all .

Let's discuss them, start the topic. This one is on Cross Road Memorial Crosses and geocaches.
Discuss what ... something that you dont like but someone else may ?
But only as long as it is on "your" terms right ... and as long as one agrees with the op or those that do ?
Yeah think I got it now ...
I am not the one coming into this topic and throwing around four letter words. Maybe we can get Groundspeak to change their rules on events and the timeline required to post an event.
Then we can plan an event around funerals and then the cache at the memorial site.

So you learn from the roadside memorials roads are dangerous.
That tells me that area is dangerous and someone lost their life, because that are is dangerous.
So we placed a geocache in a dangerous area? That makes sense!

Perhaps some of us should take a nice cleansing breath.Let's call this whining what it really is - whining. Some don't like the roadside memorials and that's fine but to make lame excuses like they distract drivers in pathetic. So the cell phones, DVD players, GPSr, MP3 players, coffee, music, CDs, makeup, etc wasn't enough of a distraction that an occasional roadside cross is going to bother these drivers?
If people want to memorialize a lost loved-one let 'em, if a cache can be tastefully placed at the memorial then fine. Those who object don't have to look at it or look for it
NO, let's call it disrespect. In less it is your family or friend you do not know them, placing a cache is not honoring them. We all know we do not have to look at it or look for it. What are you getting out of the cache except a number. I think the owner of the cache should find the family and let them know that they are placing the cache at their family members memorial. If the family approves then go for it. Because if it was not for a roadside memorial and a lost of live there would be no cache.
If the family wants to honor their family member good for them. Let's not play a game around their loss.
NO LOSS OF LIVE, NO ROADSIDE MEMORIAL, NO CACHE!
Back to the cache in question. It is not at the memorial. I fail to see how it is any less respectful than any other cache that points out any other memorial. (Please see my previous post regarding this.)
This weekend, there was a jazz festival around the square in my town. In the center of that square is a memorial to lost confederate soldiers. While my wife and I were there, we were shocked to see a family walk up and read the memorial. Clearly, the jazz festival people should have consulted with the families of the soldiers before they enticed people to approach the memorial. They should not be playing around these families' losses.
It's shameful. [/sarcasm]
If it was not for the memorial then there would be not cache at those sites. There are 10 of those caches and for all of them a requirement is to post a picture with your GPS at the memorial site, no matter if you off set the physical cache to get the log for the number you still have to include the memorial site and a picture.
Your comparsion to that memorial is different. Your memorial is history and you can learn from that history. No one lost their life at that site and it is not on the side of the road. Your site in question was a drive to honor those of the past that made this country what it is.
Take at look at the cache pages they are all the same except a different with pictures cache locations. Except the same information on all of the pages, tell me where you have learned about that memorial in question. In some of the pictures you find a name, date of death, flowers. Where is the history lesson?

Straight from my state lawmaker. Indiana Code #8-23-1-38 and #8-23-20-6 makes roadside memorials on state roads illegal. City and counties can adopt these codes. I guess it is up to the reviewer to know each counties codes.
Thats funny, because there is a memorial on US 231 on the north side of Greencastle for a Deputy Sherriff who was killed there and I believe it was placed by the Sherriffs department.
Look at the link I just posted. They have something in there about something similier.
-
Well since they are illegal. They should not be there and then you would have no reason to place a cache for a memorial area. No said the cache was illegal, just show some respect.
For some reason some feel that because it is state, county, or city property (so called public property) that you can do anything you want. Just because it is a ROW does not give you premission to place a cache.
Read the link above and how they ruled on Public property.

After seeing these caches and posts after starting this topic. I contact my state law maker and one of my friends that is a state police officer. In Indiana on state roads roadside memorials are illegal. Indiana code #8-23-1-38 defines signs, which memorials and crosses fall under. Indiana code #8-23-20-6 is what is prohibited and #2 is why they prohibited. County and City might have different laws. So I guess it is up to the reviewer to find out the local laws.
