At about 10:15 PM this evening, when returning to pick up TamCo’s car, we found someone’s CD collection laying in the place where we had parked to reach the ZZyxx Lake Home New Home cache. We had gone to the cache around 6:30 PM this evening. If you have lost your CD collection in one of the parking areas near this cache, please contact Auntienae.
“Auntienae” … if you have no replies here, you may also want to try emailing the people that visited the cache before you (also make sure no one logs an entry for the same date after you, because maybe they were really before you). Just in case it is a cacher and they don’t read these forums (their loss). I would do this for you, but since you have the CDs it would be silly for me to get in the loop. Very well could be a non-cacher, talking to “Team Venom” it appears that kids are running a muck in this area 24×7 … he’s chasing them off his hunting land next door and making them drag out 4000 bags of trash.
I emailed Team Venom since it sounds like he is the local in those parts. I highly suspect they belong to some of the teens who like to party in the area.
However, since the type of music included in this case is definitely not my style .. it might be a good idea to offer them as a CD swap cache in the coming months if we are not able to find the original owner.

Here’s your idea for a cache … put an old Victrola record player out there with a secret compartment with CDs in it … the kids will never touch it.
Originally posted by Auntienae: Neat idea! I even know where I can find an old record player like that. You really think the kids there would leave it alone?
No, I’m kidding. But they might not know what it is. But if they kick tree stumps apart in this park, they’ll trash that too. Auntienae, you’ve got to stop believing what I say, except when I say I will never make a dog dropping geocache, pass that on to TamCo
I think Otter’s suggestion would be good. Your never going to find the owner of the CDs. I’d say that area has a ratio of 300:1 Geomugglers to Cachers. It’s most likely one of the kids that leaves 5# of trash at a time, that leaves packs of fire crackers laying around for others to find, and started a coat on fire and left it on 7/4. I think there should be a sign that says “open to hunters and geocachers only” put up.
The Signs would get ripped down, EnergySaver! We went out again(kids and KC the geodog) and picked up another 4 bags of trash(becoming weekly and there’s always more!) and RE-posted signs along my hunting lease…they lasted 1 week!!!!IF you go to this cache and see the gang of paintball warriors please call the sheriff and tell them as this is not allowed in county parks. and yes when it was just hunters and geocachers the area was really clean..what a shame…and allot a money to boot
