I sure hope they don’t start making the stop signs a different color than red. I saw a green one in Kaneohe, Hawaii and that is just wrong.

Every boardwalk should have railings to keep unsuspecting people form falling off boardwalks. A petition has been started.
This is such an awesome idea. I could have been seriously hurt.
They should make sure they have bumper pads on the railings too.Was that guy in the picture one of the three vehicles you saw RB? That must have been a site to see!

I understand the property point-of-view on this but I don’t understand how a stop sign cache is more dangerous than say, climbing a tree, cliffs, deep swamps, woods with bears or serial killers, etc.
I have climbed my share of trees, traversed down my share of cliffs, trudged through some pretty deep swamps and have been caching in areas with bears. I don’t think I have done any woods with serial killers, though. In all of those instances, I was well aware of the danger involved and took precautions to be safe. You have one person to watch out for and that is yourself.
Stop signs, on the other hand, on busy highways with vehicles flying by at speeds of 55-70 mph – I cannot control if some driver is texting or not paying attention and goes off the road right where I am grabbing a film cannister out of a plug. So in my humble oppinion, this type of hide is more dangerous. I do think you are accepting a greater risk with these stop sign hides than climbing a tree.
Of course, the greatest risk I have found is trying to walk on boardwalks in nature centers in the winter! I almost seriously hurt myself falling off one of those! I think that was a Muggle B hide!

Hey Brian….congrats on 1K! Sounds like an awesome tribute cache. Can’t wait to take a look. I am sure with your pops and Muggle B conspiring together, it is worthwhile cache! Way to go and hope you have as much fun with your next 1000 finds!

I think a litttle more clarification is in order. I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I log my find on my GPSr and upload it to http://www.geocaching.com, the correct date is automatically posted in my field notes. So the reality is that even if I do not get to logging those finds online for awhile, they are still going to have the correct date because the date is automatically posted. The only way the date will change is if I physically change it.
So many of you are right in that we cannot control how some chose to play the game. It is what it is as much as it may frustrate some of us. There will always be geocachers who do not “solve the puzzles”, or “fudge dates” to fill fill their grids, or even sign others names. I don’t completely understand that last one, I will admit.
However, in the several Survivor games that are happening in the state of Wisconsin, this does become more of an issue, because those who are administrating the Survivor games are trying to keep the game fair for all participants. This can be quite the challenge when geocachers decide to do some of the aforementioned things in an effort to stay in the game. It really does take the fun and fairness out of what should be a game created to bring a little more fun and camraderie to the sport of geocaching. This is disappointing.
In this situation, to keep things fair, it might be necessary for the CO to verify finds as to not put any of the players at a disadvantage. If players want to play by different rules, that really does make it difficult to keep the game fair for all players.
Remember, anyone can log these Survivor caches as finds. For those in the “Survivor Game”, though, there should be a higher standard and level of integrity in logging and playing the game.
Enough said. I am off to the beach in Hawaii!

I find this very funny! Too bad I am in Hawaii and can’t enjoy all the newly published caches!

The issue is not late logs. The issues is the date logged on http://www.geocaching.com does not match the date that the actual log was signed. Also, the signing of a geocacher name who did not actually find the cache themselves by another geocacher.

Wondering that very same thing. Quite odd.

Of course, you will get to meet some of the finest geocachers in Wisconsin – just saying!

I miss the old maps too. Enough said….
