Sigh. People who replace your caches differently

You mean you’re supposed to put them back? I’ve been keeping all the ones I find 😆 Just kidding, no need to send out thugs with lead pipes. I’ve had a little trouble with one of my caches: GC26ZHN. Where I placed the cache, it is actually plainly visible, if you know what you’re looking for. By moving it 2-3 inches the view of it is totally obscured. I’ve had several people DNF on it, including veteran cachers, because the last finder didn’t replace it the same way they found it. I didn’t intend for it to be elusive, I intended for it to be quite findable.

You joke about it but I’ve seen it. New cachers who think you find it and take it with you.

Also seen someone who thought you could rehide it where you wanted.

Depending on how people learn about geocaching and how much exposure they have before hunting caches what can happen can vary and nothing is too foolish. I learned about it on my own so I’m just glad I did my homework so I didn’t look foolish when I started 😳

I learned on my own too. Aside from a few rookie mistakes, like hiding a cache too close to a railroad track and under a bridge, I think I figured it out pretty well.
