+bazzle Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 From Missouri??? Anyone else notice that we have admins from across the country approving caches here in our backyard? Perhaps that has a little to do with these two GCE148 and GCE159... Both hidden on 3/8 and in EXACTLY the same spot, with EXACTLY the same description.

ketchupandmustard Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I don't know much about the internal working of geocaching.com but, I always thought that it was pretty much based out of the Northwest. Missouri???? Got me. Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 There are caches all over the world. And while certainly some caches (like the one in Iraq) cannot be approved by "local" admins, I always thought that most caches were approved by someone a little more familiar with the actual cache location. You can only learn so much from topo maps and cache descriptions after all. Being familiar with the "lay of the land" as it were would seem to be integral to the task of approving caches for that area.

+Logscaler and Red Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I noticed that just a short time ago and wondered about it myself. LAst night while going through caches I also found these two : GC709B & GCE072 Kinda close together, something like 0.08 miles or less. GCE072 is a cache and was planted first on 7/13/02 and GC709B is a virtual and planted 3/7/03. I have no idea who approved them but the second one should not have been allowed, according to the "unofficial" rules being used now. logscaler. Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 At least those are actually DIFFERENT caches Life is as much a journey of discovery, as it is a discovery of the journey... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+nmartin Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 How else am i going to get double credit for one cache Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Yep some slip through the cracks. Recently in my area two caches were approved, 40 feet apart. Oh well, they don't need help. I hear voices.....and they don't like you! Quote Link to comment

+Mr. Snazz Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I don't like the note, personally. I hope that cache owners can delete admin notes... Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Would be the first thing I did for my new caches. Life is as much a journey of discovery, as it is a discovery of the journey... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+Seth! Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Mr. Snazz:I don't like the note, personally. I hope that cache owners can delete admin notes... Of course cache owners cannot do that! What in the heck are you thinking? Admin notes go on your permanent geocaching file at the FBI, CIA, and GPH (geocaching police headquarters). You'll probably be deleted just for asking that, Snazz. - Seth! (I'm kidding. You can delete any posts to your cache page. People are always posting things on my cache pages. Mostly notes with little smileys. Clutter. I delete them all.) (I'm kidding about that last bit, too.) Quote Link to comment
