      Happened to be going through the GC.com Forums tonight.. (bored nothing else to do) and Stumbled on this bit of new..

      http://www.cityofportsmouth.com/POLICE/press020407.htm

      Of course on the GC.com Forum they are claiming Geocaching Banned in NH City..

      But this guy wasn’t the smartest in hiding it where he did!

      I think we need to start working on contacting our local PD and informing them about Geocaching just so we don’t have anything like that happening here in WI

        Yeah, and I’m thinking of closing down GCN115 as a result. It’s a plastic flashlight wrapped in black duct-tape, just off a city sidewalk (placed on business-owner’s property with permission). It’s clearly not a pipe-bomb, you can easily see inside it, and has geocaching.com marked on the side. But it just seems with the paranoia these days, as in Boston, it’s just a matter of time before someone sees it and calls it in. Thoughts anyone?

          I think there is a difference between a flashlight and a pipe. Do you have permission to place this cache? If so, maybe adding the name of the permitter on the cache listing would be a good thing.

            No problem on this cache if marked right!

            Just place a Geocaching.Com sticker on the back side and it will be known what it is! With the cache marked it also may help with MUGGLES! There are 3 sizes, Amo can LARGE , Tupperware etc Medium and small that are made to wrap around a 35mm canister.

            So don’t kill the cache, just mark it!!

            I have only Large and Medium in stock right now. Let me know if you need help on ordering them. I mark all my caches over 35mm with a lable , stencile or permanant marker.
