I see: room for more!

And secondly why in the world did a reviewer “have to disable” a cache if the owner was active? Shouldn’t the “active” owner do that themselves??

Don’t mean to sound too critical here Dave but your post was very critical of someone as well.

I just had to disable another cache where someone took it upon themselves to remove a container after a muggle had taken the cache contents. While I might understand this for a cache owned by someone no longer active, this cache was owned by an active player.

Please understand that this sort of behavior is not helpful. Removing the container makes it more difficult for the owner to restore the cache, plus anyone working off of older information will spend a lot of time searching for the cache, and putting more wear and tear on the area.

If you find a cache which has been muggled, moved, damaged or otherwise compromised, do not take it upon yourself to remove it. Instead, do the best you can to restore it, and then contact the owner and let them finish the job.

How does removing the container make it “more difficult to restore the cache”?? In fact, isn’t it easier because it makes it possible to re-use the same container! If left there, the container would potentially be removed by someone else (maintenance, other visitors, etc) and not re-used.

I think every scenario is different here. You can’t apply universal logic all the time.

Chill out… Jeez….

Remember, hindsight is 20/20.

If it was spread out all over the lawn, it was more geo-trash than geocache.

Plus, if the finder didn’t know where it was supposed to be, how could he have put it back?

If you are a local, and you don’t know where to put it back, it might be best to take it with you then get it back to the owner.

Conversely, he could have just walked away and let the park maintainence people throw everything away when they found it.

For once I agree with you 😉

I have not read any other thread on the topic but if the container was not unique in anyway what difference does it make? If I was hunting a cache away from my home area I would probably attempt to hide it close to “my ground zero” and safely out of view of others. If I was by home as it sounds like this was, you made an appropriate on the spot decision.

I carry a multi tool most of the time. Never know when you’ll need it.

If you have a knife or multi-tool in a bag or backpack just remember to remove it before trying to carry it onto an airplane 😯

Well, actually I hunted a cache in a cemetery last fall and encountered deer hunters that were posted IN and around the cemetery.

It ain’t safe there either boss!

May want to run your idea by Wis Kid to make sure there are no issues with what you are proposing before building anything complex that you would have to undo or re-work. He may have some tips on how to set it up in the website as well.

Sounds pretty cool. Never did anything like that myself.

I know I for one pay for my stickers every year…did I do that pre-Geocaching…nope. We can definitely show that geocaching IS a tourist draw. The state should be paying attention….and we should continue to point it out when possible.

I bought my first annual state park sticker this year and plan to continue each year from now on. I know I wouldn’t without geocaching. What this also does is it also makes me research camping at state parks as well. This year we camped at 2 State Parks and plan to add more to that list next year.
