+bumblingbs Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Wow, my dear, you totally changed your post. It depends. I just lost a cache that was a 6 mile beach hike to get to, and when I placed it I thought "What are the chances it will be stolen from here?" Well you just never know, but people will explore, and if the tree is something that is easily noticed / right out in the open, it may be trouble. It is best, to protect a cache, to have it a bit off the beaten path. Think about it from a kid's perspective, is it some place you might just be playing around and find by accident? And, be prepared, you may not get that answer right. I know how aggravating it is to lose a cache, or have people take a good prize and leave a rock, but you need to accept the possibility. Best to you~ Edited to say that I'm old, and the first thing to go is the ability to spell. Edited August 14, 2007 by bumblingbs Quote Link to comment
+bumblingbs Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Oh, and when I say off the beaten path- most people don't enjoy crawling through poison ivy or nettles to get to the cache. Think what it might be like there in different seasons. Quote Link to comment
