+Catmit Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Howdy CVC-ers. Little Bigs & I have been out caching the last few days. Haven't been able to in awhile as she suffered a bad hip injury last summer right after she lost her dad. It was truly a sad time for all of us - then I had some surgery myself. Anyway - we are back at it. Ya-Hoo. So today - we are out caching and there is a cache hider that is consistently off on his coords. Ranging from 30-60 feet. I am assuming after the first few; that this is being done purposeful to make the cache harder to find. Finally after 3 DNF's today and spending TONS of wasted time looking; we deleted all of his caches out of the GPS. It obviously was not fun for us to be searching in such a wide area for nano caches. Is this acceptable? I've talked to a few out of town cachers that are just as frustrated. Whatcha think? Catmit:) PS - Bill, I am so glad to read that you still have your dog. I think about what happened now and then and it just makes me sick to my stomach! Quote Link to comment
soldier4god888 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi I was reading your post and it reminded me of a time I went all the way up a mountain looking for a cache. When I got there even though I looked and looked and followed the hints I still couldn't find it. It got pretty frustrating. I figured someone might have just taken the cach all together or an animal wondered off with it. Well Happy Hunting. Jerry My Treasure Hunting Website! Quote Link to comment
+Wolf Grrl Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Catmit - A LOT of cachers share your frustration as we are all aware of the caches you speak of. It is a theory that person does not own a GPS. That he uses Google Earth to mark his cache sites. Once cachers started to find them, that has led to a constant train of helping other cachers. Why should we not right? After all with today's gas prices it is terrible for any cacher to DNF! That being said, I agree he should adjust his coords to make them more accurate. Quote Link to comment
+Catmit Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes, I have been cracking up seeing all the finds now on his hides. I had a feeling there was some sharing going on! Very cool. When Little Bigs & I get some time to get back out caching; I am sure I will be shouting out for help! Thanks for the info Wolfgirl:) Cathy Quote Link to comment
