I think this is a very prescient quote:

“Taking a low visibility, low impact sport and turning it into a high visibility, high impact one is not good for the future of geocaching.”

I haven’t been around from the beginning but I’ve seen the devolution of the game just in my five years from “interesting places I’d never have visited” to “filmstrip cans tossed on the ground every .1 mile.” Hopefully this is a sign that a corner has been turned and some level of common sense comes back to this game.

Actually, apparently most of the people seeking this series were parking in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, including snowplows, at least according to the complaints made to the DOT. I guess getting a big number takes precedence over personal safety.

So much of it is, as always, about individual people and their approach. However it’s pretty clear, even from reading the logs, that this type of series encourages bad behavior.

In other news, when did we get a new BOD president? Is there gonna be an announcement or did I miss it?
