Thanks for keeping us updated Sweetlife.

Anxiosly waiting so I can do a reorder with maybe a metal change too. We are gonna try our tag with the Gold metal and the WGA backing…..Time never goes by fast when waiting for responses from Pathtags. 🙄

[goirish75]

WOW! CONGRATS on 17K! We can’t even wrap our heads around a number like that, truly remarkable indeed!!!! 😯

[goirish75]

I just got one of those too, still havent found the perfect spot for the hide though. The good places I found turned out to be aluminum and would hold the magent cache. Ughhh.

Think they’ll have it ready so the tags can be done for Christmas?

I’m hoping way before that, I wanna place a re-order but not until the WGA backs are set to go. 🙂

[goirish75]

Or just do a re-order with the tag back change and maybe a different metal coating….hmmm….ohh the possibilities. I ordered 150 of my first tag and over 50 are spoken for and/or in the process of trades. I can see how I’m gonna burn through these real quick. And I havent even placed one in a cache yet!

ROFL After reading these I think I’m avoiding anything near fences.

Yeah Deputy, avoid any cache that is hanging in plain view on a fence, but has a rating of D5. Theres something just not right there. 😆

Nice to see that there are still some honest people out there

Agreed. But I still gotta say “WOW”! (insert shaking head here)

$1000 is a very generous reward though, cant argue with that. I think she was a little too focused on her caching. Maybe Groundspeak should make a new T-shirt that says “FOCUS!” with a picture of a cacher leaving all their stuff behind as they walk deeper into the wild. 😆

I got like a four pack of them on ebay for under $10, brand new. Just throwin it out there.

Looks great!

I too am finding some of the posts on here disheartening. For one, to just give up geocaching because of these rare isolated incidents is not only ignorant and short sighted, but exactly the kind of quitting attitude our sport doesn’t need to properly represent it. Secondly, each contact with law enforcement is a case by case basis, and one negative contact with some officers should not be the measuring stick by which all police contacts should be judged. Also remember, YOUR attitude in the field towards law enforcement will determine their response and attitude toward you. If you happen to run into an overzealous cop, there’s nothing to be gained by getting into a pissing match with them in the field. Speak with their boss later, the ,chief of police or the county sheriff and address the issue in a an adult professional manner at the top. I’m not here to defend either side, seeing as I fall on both sides as a cacher and as a police officer. Just try to keep an open mind. You wouldn’t quit driving just because someone has a crash would you? So instead of quitting caching and archiving caches, hang in here, don’t let this be your crutch to quit. Use it as a chance to educate others and turn some muggles into geocachers.

I will not be archiving anything. In fact quite to the contrary, you can look for a few new Bigguy-Pmurk and Team RK caches around your local neighborhoods in the weeks to come (as soon as my schedule allows me time to do so). Gorish, I know that your post was not directed at anyone in particular, but it kinda seems like you’re chewing your fellow cachers a new one and telling us that we don’t know how to act with/around law enforcement. As for my situation, although I was nothing short of ass kissing, the officers (one in particular) still had an attitude toward me. This situation nor any other run in with law enforcement that I have had will make me stop caching, and that includes hiding and finding. In fact, I went and grabbed a few more caches after that little run in, despite my little meet-n-greet.

I wasn’t aiming my post at anyone at all, it was more of a general statement. I do hate that there are power hungry cops that give the rest of us a bad name. But what can ya do, there are douchebags in every profession, I just want to get the word out that most are normal, easy going people, that do understand logical explanations of things and don’t always jump to hasty conclusions. Most love technology too and would be open to hearing about geocaching. I’m too new around here to attack or flame anyone on here, can’t we all just get along?

[goirish75]

Waiting ever so patiently. 😆 😆
