Why thank you Klause for that warm "stab you in the back" kinda holiday cheer, back at ya with the same wormth and sincerity!!!! Huh....I guess since your 2 cents canceled my 2 cents....well here is 2 more for you. You think you know who I am but you are far from right. But hey if that makes you feel better to blame someone else more power to you. Ok, for starters I never said it was a bad idea to have Marylanders approve caches, just that I didn't think that the MGS should be the chosen ones. I too think that people in the area should do some of the approving! And in response to those of you who have praised the MGS for all of the wonderful work that they have done. Think again!!! Most of the work they've done was to right thier own wrongs. For your information, the reason the parks were going to ban caches was because of the actions of a couple of thier own members. From what I hear I don't even think the members who saved thier butts by getting the parks to talk and getting an approval process in place are even members anymore. I believe the people who did most of the so called hard work quit the group. That should tell you something!! As for the Adopt-A-Cache program, maybe I was a little strong. But you know the old saying, People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Well, I think before you concider adopting someone elses cache you should be maintaining you own caches that have been damaged, wet, or unattended for far too long. Just look around at some of thier caches and you will see that that haven't been properly maintained. Maybe someone should adopt your cache!!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!!! Happy New Year The Geocachman George Geocachman@yahoo.com GeoMan

Well folks, guess what! There is a new sheriff in town and it is the self-promoting arrogant Maryland Geocaching Society. According to their website they will be snatching up caches if they haven't been maintained properly or (in their opinion) abandoned. If they think it has been abandoned they will "adopt it" under the societies name. I hope they don't forget that what goes around comes around, like their caches are the perfectly maintained caches. One might think...Well, you know.... I really like the location of that there cache I visited last week, I think I'll claim jump it! Hey folk's, its open season, pick a cache and put your name on it, what better way to add to you inventory. What the heck is Geocahing.com thinking, giving them the authority to approve caches? Any wonder why most of the caches approved lately is from them...huh! And what in the world is it with all of these so-called micro or mini caches that they are saturating the parks with. What? You can't hide real caches like big boys? Who you going copy off of next? Boy this is fun!!!! You know, although I just registered with Geocaching.com, I have been lurking for several months. I have even gone out on the hunt several times with friends. I just thought it was time to add my two cents worth. Just my opinion folks!!!!
