+Enspyer Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Locally, we had a cache archived before it was a week old because someone (not related to geocaching) was cleaning up for Earth Day and 'cleaned up' the cache. Apparently the guy read the 'About Geocaching' sheet but decided geocaches were trash. Has this ever happened to you? Has your cache been picked up as trash by accident. Has anyone ever CITO'd a cache by accident? Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Tornado's,muggles,dozier,stolen,but I have never had one taken for trash. But I did get one trashed out by the local kids. That being the slang term trashed out(destroyed). Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I suppose we are litter bugs. Quote Link to comment
+kone Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I guess some IGBYs look inside a cache and see a lot of trash items. Isn't that what most caches degrade to over time? Quote Link to comment

4Mergansers Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Wow, either that cache was right out in the open, or those picking up garbage were doing a reeeally good job. (Which is great, unless you are the cache owner.) I have picked up lots of trash in my time, but I guess I never thought to scour the area THAT well. Quote Link to comment
Shoobie & the Sand Crabs Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 the location of the sunset beach cache was taken when new construction was going on this was probaly traken because it was mistaken for trash Quote Link to comment
Pilgrim, Rhubarb, & Sweet Pea Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) One of our very first caches disappeared after the area was cleaned up. It had been in a big knot hole at the base of a tree along the edge of a creek. It was there for weeks, completely concealed in the hole by leaves, sticks and other natural debris. It disappeared right around the time workers came along and raked up all the leaves, dead grass, etc in the area...apparently someone felt the hole needed cleaning out as well. We don't know for sure that's what happened, but it's our best guess. It was a bummer because it was a great cache, a good container, and it had a camera in it that was just about full and ready for developing. Plus it was our first hide.
