Anyone know GeoLite69?

[+Team XL5]

Does anyone know GeoLite69? He's quite a prolific cacher with over 1000 finds and over 100 hides so he's given a lot to caching. He has picked up a number of Tbs/Jeeps (including one of mine), held on to them for a couple of months or more, then dropped them into one of his own caches which he also archived the same day. I've tried emailing (politely of course) and posting a note on the archived cache but no reply.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew him to ask to get the TBs moving again or at least find out if anything has happened to them.

 

Thanks

Maybe email his local geocaching group to see if he's okay. Or email a cache owner in his area.

 

Sometimes life, illness, or work gets in the way.

Seems to be a pattern for some cachers.

 

The Jeeps are very popular keep sakes.

 

I would like to see some means or rating for these cacher's in their ratings, kinda like ebay, when it comes to moving trackable items.

I've had a TB held by a guy in Canda for over a year, on it's way to Alaska. I finally emailed a cacher in his area since he wouldn't reply back to my emails. She knows someone that works with him, but he still hasn't released it. I'm still hopefull!

The person with your bug hasn't cached for over a year, so you might want to contact them to ask them to send you the bug by mail. They probably don't check their geocaching email account anymore, but snail mail might work. They posted their real name in the log when they picked up the bug, and when I did a search (www.canada411.ca) of the Yukon there was only one listing for that name. If that isn't the same person they probably are related to the cacher, because it's not a common name. Maybe if you sent them a stamped, self-addressed envelope they would send you your bug. Or you could even phone them (or would that be considered harassment?).

Would it be possible for one of the mods to move this thread to the US Northwest forum, it may be more relevant there (plus I didn't want to be accused of cross posting )

We know Geolite69 perhaps we can be of assistance.

After looking at the cache these trackables are in I beleive this cache was muggled and replaced several times. The last time he replaced it he added the trackables to it only to have it muggled again the same day. Thats whey he archived the cache.

 

We have been having major problems in the last few months with caches getting stolen in our area. Due to the nature of the hides that are going MIA it seems these may be inside jobs so to speak.

Thanks for that, but have tried it. The only thing so that is going farth is that I emailed a local cacher in the area that knows someone that works with him. She has told me that she is still working on him but it isn't going well. I will even buy him another toy if I could just have mine back.

Thanks for the info. Sorry to hear about the cache trashing issue. It's always a shame when someone wants to ruin other people's fun.

 

Cheers

I'm not sure why the cache owner wouldn't simply say that so people could re-release their TBs rather than wondering if it might still be held captive.

 

If you're not at fault then you have nothing to worry about and letting people know would be the polite thing to do, eh? At least respond to queries.

 

By the way Team XL5 you do a great job at removing the tracking number from the tag photos. How do you make it look so clean?

[+Team XL5]

Probably a bit over the top, I use Photoshop to clone a another part of the tag over the number.
