Astrogoth Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I know of a survivalist camp in the Fraser Park area of CA. It's all packed and ready for WW3. It's also abandoned. My question is, should I put a cache there? The location is unusual and fairly remote. The park is very nice. From there it's not even a mile as the crow flies to the camp. I ask because the owners may be bikers or drug dealers or just vanilla nuts. And they may come back. What do you think? Sticks and stones may break my bones, but don't bet on it.

+Fish Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 With survivalist, they are paranoid enough... There is a chance that first. It's private property... Second they may have placed anti-geocacher devices... I would probibly look for some place else to plant a cache Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Quote Link to comment
Lyra Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 If it's an unoccupied, but stocked, survivalist encampment, chances are it's being periodically checked by some "enthusiast" (trying to be PC here!). If they happen to spot an unidentified container in the vicinity, they may become convinced it's some sort of enemy device and blow it up. Make it a virtual.

+smillersmiller Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Come on, kids, don't feed the Trolls. Placing a cache on this location, regardless of type, is obviously a dumb idea. Scott ICQ: 5563417 Quote Link to comment
Lyra Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Didn't read the initial post closely enough to pick up on the fact that the camp is not IN the park. Always wear proper caching safety equipment! Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Get permission. Sounds like private property. Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+Wadcutter Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 You have to be very careful around some of these people. Hard core "survivalist" types or those who have marijuana fields can be dangerous. We've located booby traps placed by some of these folks. Serious booby traps. Things like shotguns hooked up to trip wires, explosives, etc. These weren't placed to scare people away. They intended to hurt, maim or kill people to keep them out of the area.
