I hate micros in the city

November 27, 2006

I hate micros in the city. In particular, micros along a busy street or micros in playgrounds.

Get the message???? Do I need to repeat myself again????

Just wanted to get some discussion started.....

November 27, 2006

Been done. Usually ends up being less than a discussion. Some do, some don't... What can you say?

So, how do you feel about micros in the city. In particular, micros along a busy street or micros in playgrounds?

November 27, 2006

As I said, I hate micros in the city. Micros along busy streets make you feel like you are being watched or are doing something illegal. Micros in playgrounds make you feel like some soccer mom is going to accuse you of being a pedophile. I am a traditionalist. Geocaches were meant to be in the woods, ammo can size, and have trinkets to trade. Micros in the city are the equivalent of metro sexuals. There's something about them that is just is not right.....

Search for the caches you like, don't search for the ones you hate.

I really don't see this thread going anywhere good but, if you don't like them don't hunt them.

I know it's almost a cliche but what else is there to say?

There.....how's that? :laughing:

November 28, 2006

i have to be amazed by the container or location to like a micro

November 28, 2006

Why not ban micros from geocaching.com and start "microcaching.com?" It would fit right along side Waymarking.com. About all micros do is help allow cachers to get astronomical cache find counts......They have no other useful purpose. Kind of like the "only good cat is a dead cat" saying, in my opinion.

You mean you hate ones like THIS one? :laughing: 1/1 micros that you must use stealth with? :huh: Yeah I feel your pain. Thanks for getting the conversation started though.

The cache you referenced was one of mine that was mujggled the first day it was put out. The cache is in a quaint resort town in northern Michigan. What I really don't like are the ones in large cities, such as this one in downtown Detroit next to Ford Field (where the Detroit Lions lose week after week):

Bad sadly I read:

Other people's caches are bad.

Gotcha. Next thread.

Can you say wide right? We know Jason Hanson can. Aside from the personal attack you are attempting, I dislike any cache where it says "stealth required". I didn't sign up for pretending to be a spy, or be made to feel like I have to elude prying eyes like some some common thief. To say it is all micros is wrong, they just tend to be easier to place this way, and tend to be the ones used. Maybe you should try a more proactive solution before soming here with a simple statement meant to stir something up that has been stirred before. Maybe start with not placing what you claim to hate.

I'm not a big fan of these kinds of caches, so I tend to avoid them. Perhaps you should consider doing the same.

Especially for Micros in the city or caches in playgrounds.

As I've said so many times before, there are so many other reasons that micros in town have a useful purpose. I find it sad that you can come in here and make a statement like that so forcefully.

The reason our town got so much into micros in town, was because it gave us a chance to cache in the winter, as all of our outside of town caches were snowed in. We live in the foothills of the Cascades, and we were getting bored in the winter.

Of course, the one that I talk about all the time is caching for people with handicaps, short term and long term. I hear in here about people breaking their leg or something, and they are so grateful for caches they can get. I don't know what I would do without them myself.

I know that you can place regular caches inside town, but realistically, not many.

Other than that, I love micros anywhere else.

I've never let snow get in the way of a good cache....it adds to the challenge. We get our fair share up in northern Michigan.

I can take alot of abuse. Call me a liberal. I can take it. Heck I am a Democrat, just tend to look further than a party name. Tell everyone in public that I shave my legs. I wear shorts alot so most already know that. So I like to have my nails done, so call me a metrosexual. I am dealing with it so far. But what I won't and can't stand is you calling me a TMI.

Okay, to be more politically correct repace "hate" with "dislike" or "despise." I think "banned" is a politically correct term. Let me know if it is not. Are you happy now?? Now, you can go get some Koolaid and be happy.

I never said dislike or despise ("hate" is now politically incorrect in this forum) micros in a town. I said I hate them in the city. A town and city are two different words. I think the dictionary would confirm that. You could probably Google that as well.

Not that I care about this thread, but I can't seem to avoid posting. It's a sickness, I think. Anyway, if you have identified the areas in whih you do not enjoy finding micros, don't look for micros in that area.

There, I solved your little problem. Go in peace.

If I were going to the Horatio's Metrosexual Day Spa on the corner of 5th and Petunia Street right next to the quaint little bistro that Fifi just loves to death, which I am not saying that I know anything about, then it would probably be both. Sheer indulgances like this should be not be just for special occassions. That is if I knew anything about that kind of stuff, which I surely do not.
