Todd, new cache in Peshtigo. Don’t recognize the name of the CO either.
I saw that. I got the notification on my phone about 7:30pm my time last night. but I don’t chase FTF’s anymore. I’ll let someone else have it. Bartrod will probably find it this morning if he’s home. I did send a Facebook message to a geocaching friend of mine who lives in Peshtigo, but is not a premium member. Hopefully she gets the message and looks for it.
As for the CO, he only has 2 finds. He thinks he’s an expert on geocaching now with that many finds. I bet he placed it with a smartphone which is never accurate for cache placement. One time I was FTF on a cache that was placed with an I-Phone that was 100 feet away from the actual coordinates.
This particular cache in Peshtigo published last night is probably on the Ellis Memorial Trail. I actually have walked that trail to scout out some spots to hide a cache or two of my own and it is definitely not a T3 trail like this CO put in the cache page. And the trail is much closer to the water. But according to the cache page, the cache itself is only 100 feet from the road. Something is hinky here.
I’ll eventually get to it when I get out there to place my own caches. I also have a plan to put one out at Badger Park as the one over there got archived a few months ago.
On a side note, I put a “Needs Archived” log on another cache owned by an out-of-town CO that went missing. This particular one got removed due to construction at the waterfront marina some time ago. I stopped by that cache this morning to verify this after I saw a string of DNF logs in my email. I hate out-of-town CO’s. They never are around to take care of their caches.
