Not sure where I should be asking this but today I did my first Cache Rescue. I saw that there was a cache in New Berlin not far off my regular driving to school route that needed to be removed. I picked it up this afternoon and disposed of it. I went to log it and there was an error. I tried again, another error. So I left it alone, not sure if the WGA servers were acting up. But now the cache is removed from the list and I don’t see any record of it. I think I’m just nervous that I trashed someone else’s cache that I shouldn’t have. Do I need to go trash can diving for the container? I hope not! The cache is GC2BB2B.
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
05/11/2011 at 12:42 am #1948108Did you post a note on the cache page that you removed the container per CR___?
Did you go to active missions and submit a report that you completed the Mission?
Contact WisKid and let him know what you did.
05/11/2011 at 1:32 am #1948109Yea, I was trying to submit an active missions report but twice it came up with errors after I submitted it.
Yes, I also posted a note with my found it log. I probably shouldn’t be too worried since the cache has already been archived.
Maybe I shouldn’t be trying this sort of thing! 😳

05/11/2011 at 1:58 am #1948110By all means…TRY!! Then I won’t feel the need to go to SE Wisconsin every fall to pick up geotrash.
05/11/2011 at 2:31 am #1948111mission complete !
now to check with DeeJay about adding the cache rescue caches to the lonely cache game listing.Disclaimer : Always answering to a higher power.
05/11/2011 at 3:19 am #1948112Bec, you can’t break anything, so don’t worry about it. I just need to know what you did to get the error and what the error said…
It looks like the mission was originally submitted by you. Is that right?
05/11/2011 at 3:42 am #1948113that is a strange point on this one Brian.
If you look at the mission itself, DeeJay submitted and approved on May2, but when I looked it was still in the to be approved queue. when I approved, the text box for notes came up but when I submitted the note, it went page not found.BTW how do the CRs get added to the LCG list?

Automatically (AFAIK). If it’s an active mission, it should be on the list.
05/11/2011 at 3:52 am #1948115It looks like the module is messing up somewhere… I’ll look into it, but I’m not looking forward to digging through all that code…..
05/11/2011 at 11:25 am #1948116No, I was not the one who originally requested it. I’m not sure how long the request was there but I looked at it for a few days before deciding to go out there and get it. I think that when I was trying to report the mission as completed I recorded it as a request for a new mission. Oops! Sorry, it’s my first time! I don’t remember exactly what the error message was though. I believe it was just html codes. Then since I got the error message I was looking again to re-do it and then I think that I posted it in the right place the second time but still got an error message. After that I decided to give up and quit trying to record it. Sorry for all the work Black Cat!

05/11/2011 at 12:19 pm #1948117Not a problem.
You are showing up as having completed the mission, but the mission is still active. I think both of your submissions went through, so we can delete the active one. -
