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.

that is a nice thought, unfortunately common sense is not as common as we would like…
(not saying that I don’t have my share of crappy guardrail caches 😳 )

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.

Dave,

Not all of us felt that way. The big numbers were a side benefit of taking part in an interesting experience, at least for me. And we kept safety first.

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?

Looks like the Rat has taken charge, with -cheeto- as his second!
