+jhwf44 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Well, my most recent cache adventure had to be one of the most intersting. My lesson learned: never go in a swamp looking for a cache when the difficulty dosen't represent that. Here is a link to the cache page.

BassoonPilot Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I suppose we'll have to wait to read about your next adventure before we'll know ... Quote Link to comment

+Web-ling Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 At least you found the cache, and survived to tell about it. However, in my opinion, you gave way too much detail in your log about the cache. Too many spoilers. Most cache placers would be quite peeved to set up a particularly difficult cache, only to have the first finder give away a lot of details regarding how to navigate from point to point, or what type of terrain the cache is or isn't in. Since it's not my cache, I can't tell you what is appropriate, but if it were my cache, I'd either encrypt the whole log, or more likely, delete it and ask you to relog without so many details. Again, this is just one cacher's opinion. Glad you had a good time. Happy caching! Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I read his log. I don't see any spoilers. Just some good advice. However like Web-ling pointed out....just a geocachers opinon. El Diablo Everything you do in life...will impact someone,for better or for worse. Quote Link to comment

+jhwf44 Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 Yes, I realize the log had a few somewhat spoilers. I did tell the cache owner what I was thinking of putting in the log before I posted it. He said that was perfectly fine with him. jhwf4 Quote Link to comment
+seneca Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 If I was you , I might reconsider taking dad on the next adventure! (or if he does come along and then insists that the cache must be on a ledge half way down a steep cliff - let him check it out!) You may not agree with what I say, but I will defend, to your death, my right to say it!(it's a Joke, OK!)

Dinoprophet Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I did something similar here this weekend: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=28888 All I had was the coordinates and the numbers for the math clue. I didn't have the info about using the trail. My GPSr pointed seemingly back out of the park and across two major roads. We shrugged, drove as close as we could, and ended up in a (much less hostile) swamp behind some apartments. Weren't prepared for that terrain, and short on time, we gave up. Only after rereading the description did we learn our mistake. It was a perfect example of why you shouldn't assume a straight line is best. Quote Link to comment
The Face Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 given the thread name...I figured I'd test how dumb I am here...and see if my avatar works? Quote Link to comment
