+DeerChaser & Company Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I had to move the first cache, #2 was stolen with in 2 days. And my last cache that I hollowed out a log for was just burnt up in a fire after a long 4 days of being placed. I give up!!! ____________________________________________________________ Quote
+Thack Pack Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Can I ask what was placed inside of your caches? Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 After 12 finds it's hard to say weather or not you know what a 'plunderproof' location is. Some locations are high risk and deserve a cache anway. As for the log...that's just blind luck. Wherever you go there you are. Quote
+JoGPS Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I have a least two caches missing every month and just replaced one today, sometimes it the location or just dumb luck that someone other than a geocacher found it don’t be discontent with geocahing hang in there , by the way what kind of truck do you have……………..JOE Quote
+DeerChaser & Company Posted February 12, 2003 Author Posted February 12, 2003 2002 F150. no u cant have my stero and no u cant have my gps either I have spent many years hiding from all kinds of things in the woods. I don't think a controlled burn has any thing to do with how many caches I have found or my experience. I'll be back ____________________________________________________________ [This message was edited by DeerChaser & Poni on February 12, 2003 at 06:12 PM.] Quote
The 2 Dogs Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Don't give up!! Don't get mad!!....GET EVEN. Achive the cache, then place a dummy cache for the vandals complete with a nest of bull ants within or maybe a rattle snake waiting to pounce when the box is opened. Quote

Broncoholics Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 I guess If you want to quit, you can set up a geocaching anonymous group in your area. Duane Upinyachit Our feet go where the caches are! Quote

+DeerChaser & Company Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 They are burning the southeast side of GDC. Chazman told me yesturday. It was the Love it or Hate it cache full of GOOD STUFF! It was in a hollowed log (took me a long time). My other one is safe. Oh well, I'll replace it sometime soon. ____________________________________________________________ Quote
+SeaTrout Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 I think that it is a conspiracy ! I did not get a chance to find the missing one or the burned one. I did not know that they did control burns out there.I guess its because all of the houses that are popping up out there.Put me on the list for the red truck and the Rhino though ! Seatrout PS. alot of local cachers read these forums. Don't give away clues to your cache containers (previous post about hollow log). Quote

+Desert_Warrior Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Was to put 2 pi$$ed-off bob-cats in a suitcase and left them for the thieves. Few hours later, we found an open and empty suitcase, and footprints heading off into the sunset. They have not been back! I have had losses too. Please don't give up. Take a few days off, take a deep breath, and slowly start looking for goodies for your next cache. Let the excitement build. Mike. Desert_Warrior (aka KD9KC). El Paso, Texas.

+Team Sand Dollar Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 GDC is that wonderful company that put all those road in palm bay and all over Florida. General Developement Corp. Thought they could get a bunch of Northerner to move to Florida. They Did! Lost Floridian in Michigan wanting to move back to Arizona. Lived in Palm Bay for 15 Years. Team Sand Dollar Quote
+majicman Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Don't feel so bad. I once hid a "food only cache" and it was destroyed within days! I then hid a explosives only cache, and that didn't go over with a bang! Under the auspices of boblog2, I discussed hiding an all-medicine cache... well, we don't want to go there again!!!! --majicman My new book available now!: (http://www.mcwj.com ) Quote
+DeerChaser & Company Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 Ok great idea. My next cache will be a "things with fangs" cache in a fire proof container ____________________________________________________________ Quote
glynnfam Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Deerchaser - my first cache "turned up missing" after a controlled burn/brush removal. About 3 days before I went to it to remove the camera and log for the winter. I was SO bummed, and I know how you feel! Keep on caching! Quote
+SeaTrout Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 GDC = General Development Corp. They are the now defunct company that built all those roads out in SW Palm Bay. The area never progressed so they went bankrupt. Edited ... Sorry I did not see the above answer before replying. Quote
Micqn Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 The next time you go to hide the cache in an area to be burned try using one of the these. Guaranteed to last up to .5 hours or Sentry will replace the contents. Happy. Hunting. Quote
+DeerChaser & Company Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 I wonder if a snake can breath in that thing? ____________________________________________________________ Quote
+jstream Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 How about in a bear den, and the box filled with a rattlesnake and fire ants? Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 What comes around goes around.Hang in there, the wheels are still turnin and daylight its a burnin,Don't let it get you down. When cacheing gets tough the cacher gets going.Happy Geotrails. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS *GEOTRYAGAIN* http://www.msnusers.com/MissouriTrails Quote
