Cache Removed

Sorry All, but I feel I had to remove the Arboreal Rock cache. The cache is located on a wonderful hiking trail in a sensitive nature reserve. The problem it seems, is that cachers like to take the direct route as given by the GPS.

I dont want to help create a new path in the reserve, so I have removed it from the website. I will go and recover the cache soon and will place all the contents into another cache. Peter you placed a camera in the cache, can I put it into another cache or would you like it back?

I support your action in such a sensitive area. Yet its a good area to encourage visitors. Maybe the answer is to concentrate more on "Virtual Caches" in these areas.

Hi Raymond, its good to see you back again.

I thought this cache would be ok as its on a well walked path. I did not expect so many people to following the gps and walk in a straight line across the veld. This shows me that these areas are not a good idea at all, even a virtual cache, unless we educate geocahers into not bundu bashing and staying on the footpaths.

This also reminds me I still have to retrieve the cache.

Don't suppose you could use a series of mini-caches to 'guide' cachers through the 'good' routes?

 

One day my sigline will stop changing.

Until then, it's "Gone Cacheing". icon_smile.gif
