+mouseful Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I just started geocaching again after a couple of years. I see there are no shortages of caches near my home or afar. One of the things I’m seeing more of is caches that are placed in poor locations. Here are a couple of examples. I’m not a tree hugger but people should not place their caches off an established (posted) nature trail where the finder has to tramp through a beautiful meadow to locate a cache. Also, a cache that I was looking for recently was placed at a campground at an RV stall where you would have to disturb the campers to get to it, or you would have to wait until they leave. I did neither. I’m not going to trespass (hop fences, etc.) to get to a cache. Please think very carefully before you place a cache. Just because you got there doesn’t mean a finder will be able too, legally or respectfully. Quote Link to comment

Well, things have changed a little since then. Of course from hanging around in these forums, I'm convinced it's just me, and nothing is different. Or is it? Quote Link to comment

I'm still hoping they implement this feature someday. Edited September 22, 2007 by TrailGators Quote Link to comment
