I nominate Jon S.

As a Lackey, he's probably not eligible.

That's why I had the big smile at the end of the nomination.

Very cool!

Well done!

Well, I'll hold off on the well done and give you a BIG FAIL.

 

What's this?

 

 

From the cache placement guideline ...

 

A cache may be disabled or archived if (list is not exhaustive) one or more of the following is true....

 

Cache defaces or destroys property (public or private) either in the hiding of or searching for the cache.

 

Seems to me that scrawling the coordinates on a trail board walk or bridge would qualify as defacing. But then since it is frog sanctioned I guess it is okay.

 

But I saw this on the video from HQ, why can't I write on the structures in the park with my magic marker?
