+Zork V Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Placing a new cache on the South African coast, but one of the problems is Monkey Muggles. A new icon would give caches a heads up about the barboons in the area. Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I had a Howler monkey try and pee on me in Guatemala. That could be a bad situation if you're pausing and spending time looking for and looking through a cache. Link to comment
+Sommers Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I tell you they add that ICON it' will go on all my future hides...LOL Link to comment
+Cache Liberation Front Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I tell you they add that ICON it' will go on all my future hides...LOL Me, too! But careful. Then we'll have all our caches added to bookmark lists by certain self-appointed "Geo-Cops" called "Abusers of the Beware Baboons Attributes." MrW. Link to comment

+Ambrosia Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 That's it! I'm putting a monkey image in all my caches now. Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sorry to bring this subject back on-topic, but isn't there already an attribute for wildlife. Wouldn't that apply to monkeys? Link to comment
+Zork V Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I couldn't find wild life but I really don't think Watch for Livestock Hazards really covers the Papio anuis (Baboon) do you? Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I saw this thread yesterday and still have the same opinion. If you're going to add any sort of attribute, it would be "Dangerous Animals". It covers not only baboons, but bears in some areas. Perhaps not the stalking deer in my area, though... Anyway, something like that would fit better since it is multi-use. As an alternative, you could stick the "Dangerous Area" attribute on it. Slightly off topic: But, really, how useless are the attributes when most of us do paperless caching? The attributes are NOT included in the GPX files, so we will never see them. It is best to put the attributes directly in your listing. Link to comment

+ZSandmann Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I got chased by an angry canada goose one time when I disturbed their nest. Can we get two new attributes: Canada Goose Canada Goose Poop Link to comment
+Always & Forever 5 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I got chased by an angry canada goose one time when I disturbed their nest. Can we get two new attributes: Canada Goose Canada Goose Poop Yeah! Great idea! Then, I could use them for this cache... Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm actually thinking that a generic "dangerous animal/and or watch out for animals" would be a good thing. It would be a catch all. Right now we have snakes, ticks and livestock. But there are so much more that people could run into. Off the top of my head: spiders, bears, cougars, raccons, baboons, etc. We could make an attribute for every one of them, and that's ok if that's what groundpeak is willing to do, or we could make one generic one.

+DavidMac Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I changed my avatar. Dang, because I was going to suggest a person holding an umbrella for the attribute icon. Why not, maybe I'll do it anyway Link to comment

+DavidMac Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yep, so let it never be said that there's not an attribute to cover (insert your favorite environmental hazard here). Link to comment
