GrandpaCannon Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I have seen in several caches recently items that are used in other games which are related to Geocaching but are not for the "public at large" I have no problem with this (maybe others do) I just don't want to accidently take something that is not for public taking. I saw a blue tag that had a very nice discription of what it was and asking those not playing "that" game not to take it. Then just yesterday I saw an item (a painted railroad spike) that looked like it might have been involved in some other game but I was unsure. My suggestion is that if you don't want someone to take your special item it needs to be clearly marked. Just some thoughts Quote Link to comment
+GoldKey Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Could you be more specific about the "blue tag" game? Quote Link to comment
+beckerbuns Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Of course, there are some things like that that are meant to be taken. For instance, Iron Chef spoons, Butano medallions... I guess it's hard to know whether it's okay to take it. Perhaps if the people leaving those items did consistently leave notes attached to them? Becky Quote Link to comment
GrandpaCannon Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 It looked like some type of war or capture the flag game. Apparently one of the "Blue" players was suppose to get his tag back from the cache. The discription on the tag was not very long but I think the players or maybe just the teams had a "home cache" and captured tags were put into that cache. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 There are caches that are also used for Letterboxing (a sport similar to Geocaching,but without the GPS). The problem that seems to crop up from time-to-time, is that Geocachers who are ignorant about Letterboxing sometimes take the Letterbox stamp, thinking its a trade item.

+Butano Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I just want to affirm that the Butano Medallions are there for the taking. If you place it someplace interesting or someplace far away, I would love to hear about it. But you are welcome to take them, keep them, leave them, or whatever. And if you get over to the Oat Bun cache by Mengarelliott, then you can even tack the medallion to your walking stick (or do so anyway even if you don't ). I never get lost! I simply investigate alternate destinations! Quote Link to comment
