1603 within 16k of my house. I don't even feel like I've made a dent!

Thanks, Keystone. I was overthinking it. Overthinking is my strength. I'll post a NA and let the reviewers deal with it. It must be handy to be able to change accounts and disable it yourself, though!

I recently found a cache that's a solid concept and kind of terrible execution. It's a suspended cache in a tree on fishing line--not the first of its kind, but an interesting choice for a suburban park. The problem is three-fold. First, the container is inappropriate (an eclipse mints container, very popular in these parts for urban micros, mixed success for staying dry depending on the location); while I've met a few dry tins, they've been shielded from the elements by their hide. The log (with protective baggie) is too big for the container and it took me a while to get the lid to close properly. Second, the camo is...no. It's covered in leaves taken from the tree it's hung in, it looks like, and they have been taped in place with scotch tape. I was ftf and I think half of them came off in my hands. Finally, it's suspended in the tree via the fishing line tossed over a branch, but the excess line to help raise and lower the cache is wound around a pair of screws drilled into the trunk. They were actually what I spotted right away to find it because they're so very out of place. I liked the cache (and being ftf!) in concept, but the more I think about it the more it's just...bad. Maybe I have high expectations because there was clearly some thought in how it was placed and in the attempt to camoflage it. Anyway, is it worth contacting the owner to lay out my concerns? The reviewer? I would think putting screws in a tree is a big no-no (I.1.4 and I.1.5), even if bad containers aren't breaking any rules. Help?
