I know of a few cache hides in the area that involves a micro hidden in a heavily wooded area,one of them is even a nano! These can be extremely difficult to find given the area and possible hiding spots that you have to search,even more so when satellite reception is very shoddy.IF you do have to hide a small cache in this type environment it should be reflected in the difficulty level and suitable hints should be given to at least narrow down your search field. I have been guilty of hiding matchstick holder container size caches in the woods myself but i try my best to find a location that would easily be spotted by a cacher given the clue that i give.I don't think there should be a rule against cache size and location but i do think cache hiders need to use common sense in their hides...what if you where the one hunting this cache?? Sure it is easy to spot when you know where it is.

Sounds like the cache hider is pretty sure it is still there,i don't see the big deal...this is a sport ,if you can't find it log it DNF and go on to another one.The cache owner will have to live with the reputation he puts forth.It does not so much reflect on the seekers ability to find a cache,especially when other cachers are not having any better luck finding it. I know it must be frustrating to have this one nagging you,i think every cacher has 1 or 2 like this at one time or other.Have fun with the sport,try not to let it get to you.

I agree that as long as you are not removing or tampering with a primary support for the sign that you are not "vandalizing" the sign. If you are going to do a cache in this manner it would be best that the sign is in an area that you could access the cache and put it back with as little threat of being witnessed by "the uninformed" as possible,or list when the most appropriate times for searching for this cache would be.
