If someone quits before they find their first cache it says more about that person then the game. It's like skydiving, anyone can do it but it's not for everyone.

You find the cache, sign the log, take and leave something if you like.

One of the best things you can do is learn to use your GPS on a smaller scale like in your yard. I recommend sitting with the manual for a few hours and just play with the GPS to learn how it functions then mark some spots in your yard and learn to use the features before heading out into the big wide open.

How about if you used a high pressure water hose to make the hole? :-)

If you were a premium member to begin with you still would not have your cache there. Someone got there before you. Forget it and Drive on. You probably have more time in typing these posts then picking that spot.

BTW, that picture is disturbing :-)

You could kill them with kindness which I recommend, orrrrr mod note: removed inappropriate image. BASE jumpers use the old tar and feather technique. I had one of mine stolen and later returned to "teach me a lesson" about rocking the boat. If I wanted to I could prove who did it and call them out but it's not worth it.

One very, very busy prankster, I might add. Particularily since he has to stake out all of those cache sites at one time! I mean, he might be able to mess ONE cache up, but you're talking about one prankster messing it ALL up, so he's gonna be one busy guy! Nice avatar, BTW. They would not have to stake out the cache site to mess things up. They could just go around and collect caches.

Excellent idea.

Funnily enough as soon as I read your post my first response was to quote the 'apart from murdering the bum' bit and say something like, 'seems reasonable under the circumstances'. However I curbed my natural mischievous instincts. However after reading the thread I will say that there is an objection to the use of the so called 'derogatory' word bum in describing the person, but it is not what has already been pointed out. The objection is that there was no need to make any observation at all about the person who saw you find the cache, *anyone* seeing you finding/hiding the cache should be cause for concern. I find it funny that there was objection to using the term bum but not to the thought of murder. Go figure.

I think the term homeless is less than accurate. If he has a box in the park that is his home. It's time for the PC people to come up with a new term. How about Bum in a Box.

Maybe you should look into changing your meds.

To the OP. I would tell them (edited by moderator). I would never spend the time to go back and change all of those logs.

GC120TZ Here is an issue I am working on.

I almost never put trackables in a new cache. I wait to see if it is going to last.

I wish the owner of this cache would read this thread GC120TZ

Well if it didn't do it for you why don't you leave it for the next person? It makes no since to remove something because you would not use it.

Probably has not been done cause it's been hot as hell around here. I'll see if I can put a trip together. That's not far from me.

Funny, when I read the subject line I thought it was someone writing with poor english that was asking how he friend could find work. :-)

I would contact the owner first. Maybe offer to adopt the cache or ask for it to be archived so you can place a new one. If you are not interested in placing a cache there I would not worry about it if they are disabled. The ones that piss me off are the ones that are gone and you can't get the owner to do anything.

Do you own the mailbox and the property it is on?

I agree. Introduce those who are interested. Maybe even an open house event were those interested can come. But I don't like the idea of general introductions to general people many of whom won't be interested, and some of whom will go on to get some kicks by finding a new venue to cause trouble. I fully agree. Had some bad experience with school kids and some of my caches over the summer. All near places where a teacher introduced (forced) kids to Geocaching using my real caches. As a teacher, I have to routinely "force" my students to do certain things - chemistry labs, chemistry problems, watch chemistry videos. That doesn't make them bad simply because I had them do something I, in my professional capacity, felt was educational in some way. As for TV vs live - they don't "out" a specific cache in many cases for the class trips. Sometimes they do. Many people in this discussion are saying leave Geocaching.com out of the discussion, and it is almost always mentioned in tv/news articles. We don't see droves of caches destroyed following it being mentioned there, and I don't think you see droves of them being destroyed after a class - maybe ones specifically pointed out, sometimes, but again, I think the risks of getting more people interested outweigh the risks of having an occasional cache muggled, which happens already anyway. You just made a point against your own opinion.

Whos property is it? What does the land owner think?

Post edited. When it comes down to spelling corrections to try to make some kind of point I'm out of here. GeoLeo you need to re-read the thread and figure out who said what to who.

I have a 60CSx and went out on Sat. here in Middle Georgia. Something was definitely goin on with the satellites this past weekend. I have never seen mine act like it did this past wekend.
