If I found my first 50 caches at 50 guard rails, I wouldn’t have found 51! 😉
So I would have hidden zero! 😕
07/30/2011 at 2:31 am #1950008Personally I’ve seen the game change in the 2 short years that I’ve been playing. I enjoy getting off the beaten path and caching, but it’s definately turned into a numbers game for many. I know there are some with health issues that can’t get out and hike like they would like to (notice they want to but can’t), but the majority of players just want the smiley and want it quick.
The good news is that for these people there’s a new thing called “Munzee” that might be right up their alley. Check it out at http://www.munzee.com if you’re interested.
The sport is changing and the exact reason I hold the spots from many of the puzzle caches is to prevent crap P&G caches from replacing the spots. Many of these spots are non-descript, but the “adventure” is the solve of the puzzle not the actual find.
07/30/2011 at 2:38 am #1950009I understand your points Muggle B, Cheeto, and who ever are against these kind of hides. The problem isn’t the hides always sometimes it is the finders not using common sense. I realize that, that is easy to say, but in essence it is the truth. If people go to these hides and shake a arrow sign because they dropped the nano down the back in view of everyone that will cause the police to arrive. If you walk down the street with the family and have the kids locate it probably won’t raise much alarm. If the cache neighbor doesn’t like it on the public land called a terrace then I will remove them, but not if another cacher is upset with me.(on that note, to who ever took apart my cache and left it for a muggle to find please stop)
The game is meant for everyone not just people who like to walk in the woods. I know some of you are single and I know some of you have a family, but all of you enjoy some aspect of this game which is why you play.

Ten times as likely a muggle messed with your container and not a geocacher. If you place hides in public places you are going to have problems. I’ll agree with you that the cacher looking for your hide can be the start of the problem. Careless searching will undoubtedly be observed by curious muggles. That brings us right back to the same point again that if this type of hide is creating problems for you it may be time to adapt and expand the type of caches and places that you are hiding them. I haven’t seen much support for you here so it may be time to bite the bullet and give in to some sort of conformity if you want to continue in this activity.

Listen carefully because I don’t want to repeat myself…
YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLACE A CACHE IN SOMEONE’S FRONT YARD. A PUBLIC EASEMENT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO USE THIS PROPERTY FOR WHATEVER THE HECK YOU FEEL LIKE. IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF, NOW.
Hopefully that is clear enough for you.
On the Left Side of the Road...07/30/2011 at 3:52 am #1950012I’ve seen enough and heard enough support for me to stick to my guns on this. I hope you realize I am not taking this litely. Being realitively knew to this (just over 300 caches found) I find it frustrating to find “suitable” hiding spots. We are trying to make “harder” hides. My daughter likes the hides she help create. Thank you for your input, but I guess I can’t please everyone all the time
07/30/2011 at 3:55 am #1950013Then you have no respect for the game and are a complete ass.
On the Left Side of the Road...07/30/2011 at 4:01 am #1950014We have enough problems with this game when we play by the rules…arrests, bomb squad calls, you name it. We do not need to exacerbate the situation by placing caches on what is de facto, if not actual, private property.
You need to respect people’s rights, or you need to quit playing, period.
Apparently reviewers are unable or unwilling to stop publishing this crap. I encourage anyone who finds these caches in the easement to remove them and throw them away. I know I sure would. Perhaps it is already happening.
On the Left Side of the Road...07/30/2011 at 4:08 am #1950015Your being what you think of me. Now stop. I did talk to the owners or neighbors of there owners of the terraces of the caches in question and they know of them. The problem is from people like you who think your way to cache is the only way to. Have respect for the game to let mt family cache the way we do. If you don’t like that then stop caching.
Just remember I can please some of the people all of the time, but I can’t please all of people all of the time.

before posting in this thread, please review the TOU

may all try to see both sides of the issue and notice that the OP did not name anyone in particular but as a general observation. The game relies on hiders and relies on seekers. There is a third party in this and it is the public at large who don’t know anything about the game and in the world today where suscpicious behavior is a big red flag, both hiders and seekers must pay attention to the volitile situation and the impact it can have on the future of the game in our communities.

Gee, that warning to others might have been nice a while back…but I digress. I am not going to complain about the double standard…
If the PTB don’t like what I post then pull my membership. The more this community tries to dance around the issue with “oh, it’s all ok, just play the game however you want it,” the more it simply enables stuff like this that is clearly detrimental to the game.
We clearly have a case here where someone is being told by the game playing community that these hides are a terrible idea, but that he doesn’t give a whit. That makes him an ass. I call it the way I see it.

The “way you cache” is affecting the game. You do not seem to care. That’s all I have to say.
