Cachengrab Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) Well I am having a rough weekend here. I went and scouted a cache area on Fri. after work. Found and marked the 3 places for my Multi-Cache went home and figured it out on mapsource. (next day Saturday and 30 degrees below celcius)All okay and no interferance with other caches. Plant the cache(s) get home and submit. Note from approver.....Too close to existing cache lalalalalalala. Hmm must be a mistake plotted out the cache and shoot forgot to check the final position. Cache Tech right I am a dumb dumb. Liberal interpetation on my behalf not stated by approver. Ok I will go out tomorrow and move 3rd point to proper distance. Today I am out and I relocated the Cache ****note**** this cache is 25 miles from home . Just lovely looks good and secure, mark cache, note co-ords change tag at point 2 and proceed home. Go to submit listing and guess what happens next? Duh! hit me square between the eyes. I deleted my waypoints before I left the cahe area. I think I now am a new applicaint for this years Darwin Awards. So now tomorrow or the next day I will get in my car drive the 25 miles remark points 1,2,3 and submit my new cache.

+DustyJacket Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Yikes, what a day. Some days just go like that. One my 3rd cache, I typed in one wrong number, and my cache was posted in another state....... Quote Link to comment
+Imajika Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Ouch! What a day! At least you can joke about it. You're going to go back out there and resubmit it instead of giving up and yelling about it on forums. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+SamLowrey Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 At least you didn't forget your GPSr out there. Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Just one of those days huh. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) So now tomorrow or the next day I will get in my car drive the 25 miles remark points 1,2,3 and submit my new cache. Or you could just cry and scream that the approver is "retarded" and threaten to steal all the caches in the area and bury them. Sorry I couldn't help it. Bad boy! I'd give myself a 20% warning but I can't. Seriously you handled the situation very well. You've got the patient of a saint. Edited January 12, 2004 by JMBella Quote Link to comment

+robert Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 You might consider taking up shuffleboard. Sorry about the mishap... I'm sure it's not the first time it's ever happened! Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I kind of know the feeling, but under other circumstances...lol. I once went and checked on one of my caches that is a couple of hours from the house. It is on a beach near Sabine, Texas. A couple of days later it was washed away by a hurricane..... so back out I go to replace it the NEXT weekend...LOL. The same hurricane got three or four of my caches in the same sweep... Such fun we're having!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
