        I went out to look for myself and found I was lost. So if you find me, please send me back.

        Actually, we’ll leave you there and just publish the coords for others to go find you and log their encounter.

          Is it not time to let this topic die a decent death?

          Actually I have enjoyed reading everyone’s take on this subject. We have a message board to allow everyone to discuss. A discussion like this is bound to last longer than other topics…

              Well, that is the news company that is “fair and balanced”.

                      When I was a rookie, I was taught by one of the best there is when it comes to interacting with others while geocaching.

                      I was waiting for someone else to name my mentor. Great story rsplash!

                        When I was a rookie, I was taught by one of the best there is when it comes to interacting with others while geocaching. If you are 100% upfront and social with others it will always turn out better than trying to hide what you are doing.

                        If you are on public property you have every right to be there. If a neighbor thinks otherwise, be upfront with them and educate them on public use of our parks. Tell them that they should expect more visitors in the future and what their activity will “look like”. They may not get the game but they should feel more comfortable with what’s happening. You can never predict what another person out there will do. However, if you are respectful perhaps they will be to!

                        If a cache owner places a cache in a very visible spot and asks you to “use stealth so the cache is not muggled” than it’s up to you whether you help keep the hide a secret from others around you or not. I personally do not feel guilty if I am the last to find on caches like this. If it was in that visible of a spot in the first place, it’s bound to be muggled anyway. Or worse, exploded.

                          Did anyone else take notice that the “Parks People” didn’t know the cache was there?

                          If this is indeed true, then this is the only part of the whole equation we should look back on in hindsight as potentially causing this particular incident and can work to make this better for the next time someone reports a geocache (device?) as “suspicious”.

                          Watching the news article and hearing it directly from Firehog’s lips – they did check into whether permission was granted to place this cache. None was found. Hearing “no permission” on the news does not make any of us geocachers proud of our hobby.

                          There’s not a published policy on geocaching that I can find on the Village of Allouez website (probably is the case for many small towns and villages and even some larger cities across Wisconsin). There is however a phone number for the park & rec dept listed.

                          We can discuss politics, labeling containers, post 9/11 hysteria, common sense, & what a bomb looks like til were blue in the face but what should be taken away from this is getting permission will help prevent incidents like this. The future of this hobby is in building great relationships with our local land managers. The last thing we want is for a village like Allouez to respond to an incident like this with a geocaching policy with the words ban or not allowed in it.

                              A win-win for everyone.

                              everyone… minus the cache owner and those who had not yet found this particular geocache.

                                I’m still here and still working… it’s called multi-tasking.

                                  I just watch the main website one and I will always try to lend a hand at posting here if I see a question that might have an answer over there 🙂 I work in IT and I guess I can’t help myself!
