+TFTC Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey . . . how come this thread dropped halfway down the page? What happened to all the verbose San Diego Cachers? What is everybody doing over the weekend? Is anything going on? I'm sure I'll be racing around in the Jeep all over the east county (35+-miles from home) looking for 11 more of those "Historic" caches... As long as you are visiting those caches anyway, would you mind signing my name in the log book? Or you can sign mine! I probably don't even have to ask! Quote Link to comment

+Chuy! Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm working on the Historic Cache Adventure. The required caches in Blair Valley area include Laura's Memorial Cache and Desert Peek-a-boo. Then, a drive to Montero Wash for Powder Can Cache. I won't stray much to grab other caches as I will need to get home by noon'ish - if I can make it at all. I'll know tomorrow. I'll have room for 2-3 cachers and some geodogs in my Tacoma. Meet 0600 at Lake Jennings P/R. Monday morning, I hope to hit the Lagunas. Quote Link to comment

+TrailGators Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Okay, moving to the events thread - sheesh . I'm sure you remember what it was like before we had that events thread. You had to sift through many logs in this thread to check if something was going on. Many times you would miss things because this thread is so big. So the events thread made it a lot easier to find out about events. It also makes it more likely that people will join you because a lot of people watch that thread now. I get emails when people post to it. But lately that thread had turned into the Banter thread, so you may want to check if events are being posted on the Banter thread.... Quote Link to comment

+rjbloom & co Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've noticed a few cachers sometimes replace their muggled caches with a brand new cache with a new number, rather than just replacing their old cache. What do you guys think of that? Here I am, opinionated Ron, stating my opinion for one such cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...0b-1b02c15f88cb From the previous logs, no one made a negative comment at all, so I presume this is considered perfectly fine and normal.

I wouldn't say it is "normal" since it doesn't happen all that often. It really doesn't matter to me, though, whether the old cache owner replaces the cache or a new cache owner replaces the cache. Either way, it's a new cache listing and it can be found or not as one pleases. Regarding the normality of this, I am often puzzled by different cachers behavior (and probably there are many who are puzzled by my behavior) but I have found little value in worrying about it...

Here I am, opinionated Ron, stating my opinion for one such cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...0b-1b02c15f88cb From the previous logs, no one made a negative comment at all, so I presume this is considered perfectly fine and normal. Despite my post and log I'm really not that bothered by it, just a little. But I suppose there's nothing I can do about it, just like a recent rash of nuisance urban caches! I can think of several reasons to do that actually, for example: New cache type (we changed a multi to a traditional in the same spot) New cache theme (maybe the hider had a falling out with the person the earlier cache was named after ) Cleverer cache (ie lame film canister to super camo'd fake tree trunk) What annoyed me one time was when someone moved a cache that I'd found far away from where I found it (more than a mile). I'd have liked to have found the "new" one but couldn't since I'd already "found" it in the old location. I doubt that happens much either. Quote Link to comment
+TrailGators Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) I've noticed a few cachers sometimes replace their muggled caches with a brand new cache with a new number, rather than just replacing their old cache. What do you guys think of that?

Upgrading a cache after you've learned some tricks of the trade should always be more than OK! Another reason would be if your cache was in an awesome location, you could create a new cache to entice people to visit the spot again! Edited September 5, 2007 by TrailGators Quote Link to comment

"What do you guys think of that?" Relax and let the guy with a 169 hides of which the vast majority are quality hides do what he wants and if doesn't suit your geostandards then don't go re-find it.

Exactly, I have yet to see anywhere on GC.com for any listing where the guideline states that all who read this cache listing must agree with the validity of the hide or anywhere that it states if you read this cache listing you must go find this cache. Although... That would make a good ALR for my next cache, make it members only and if I see your name on the audit log, then you must find the cache within 96 hours or, or or something If it met the listing guidelines and the reviewer saw no problem with it, then it is a perfectly good hide, and thanks to the hider on all his great caches. Be glad you live in a cache rich enviorment and have the very large selection of cache hides to choose from, you can seek only those that interest you and still have a great time on your caching days. It is a game, past-time or boredom reliever or really anything YOU choose to make it, so if you choose to make it an irritant, there is nobody to blame but yourself. Quote Link to comment

+FlagMan Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Wow, mellow crowd! Not even a "yeah that bugs me a little, too", or "I wouldn't do it". I imagine you would probably get more of a rise out of someone if you raised this issue in the New Jersey Thread... Quote Link to comment

I imagine you would probably get more of a rise out of someone if you raised this issue in the New Jersey Thread... I have so many thoughts about this but I can't put it to words. ..basically, if a cache is there when I get there, I am happy. Assuming that I find it. Quote Link to comment
