Hmmm. If you are so HOT to trot, just go stand in the general area of the cache. Your HEAT should melt the snow.

WizKid just reminded me I have one cache waiting quite a long time to be replaced. But snow is the issue, and I just never got around to skiing to the site.

That smile reminds me of The Little Devil.

That’s akin to saying “cheat at any card game or pool or darts or scrabble or whatever, because it’s just a game”.

You are mixing apples and oranges, in my opinion. The ‘games’ you mention do have rules.

But there still are no established rules for finding puzzle caches.

When: 9 March 2010, a Tuesday

What: Let’s Eat Pizza in Madison event (GC22Y60)

Cache on the way down to Madison, and around town some before the event.

The event runs from 5:30 to 8:30PM. So it will be a late return.

No one out there interested?

Trying to make someone feel bad about what they are doing?

Calling them a parasite?

Depends on what you mean by “bus load”.
GC can be, and is, a team game after all.

There’s no way to enforce it, but there might be a way to make them feel bad about doing it.

You know how there are terms for different types of geocachers? Some are armchair or phantom cachers, your FTF hounds, then you’ve got your numbers chasers, and muggles (non cachers), and whatever other terms might be out there.

How ’bout you call bus load cachers “Parasite Cachers”? Once they finally recognize themselves as being Parasite Cachers they may eventually feel a little shameful of their actions, and just stop being a caching parasite.

Here’s another idea: For your puzzle caches, put a note in there saying, “Caching groups of 4 or more, please, only 1 log for your entire group.”

would that be an ALR? Or could that be more appropriately called a NOT-LR?

How about cutting the negativity?

You have a right to your opinion, others have theirs.

I have driven by this for years, and had all sorts of ideas for why the tower.

Never came up with this one though …….

Thanks for a bit of local history.

What’s the wording for that Serenity prayer ….

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I know I can not change cachers, their habits or beliefs, and so I really do not … what word should I use? Care? I consider myself a Stoic.

Very well said, GMO. I will take your words to heart.

I do also, except you are standing on the other side of the fence from me.

But, fences do make good neighbors, right?

You wouldn’t believe the things you can learn when you’re trying to find out “Where’s Dave?” and “Where’s Dave now?”

I just figured out where Dave was then AND now. Of course I can’t find Dave yet, but I know where he was. Does this sound confusing or what?

your welcome 😉

Dave who?

After years of not having a TV, I acquired in on November, and signed up with Time Warner. After two months, i cancelled my contract with them – there really is not much worth watching.

Had no problems with either the bill or the canceling.

[marc_54140]

Dang! I really had hoped they would be archived, and new WSQs placed, so I had more of them to hunt.

Oh, well, we can not all have what we want.

BTW, they are interesting caches. But I guess I might be talking to the wrong group. I suppose only those already interested in WSQs would read this forum.

If your perception is that I am a horse’s arse for expecting people to make an effort to solve my puzzles before they go a hunting, so be it. If you, on the other hand, tend to agree that an effort should be made and I have a right to defend my views, that’s good to. If all that comes out of this is a fence-sitter or two giving it a second thought the next time they read, ‘2020 Puzzle Bus Tour, climb abord and clear the valley of pesky ?’s’ then I’ve accomplished something.

No, Alex, I do not preceive you as a horse’s ass. And I am sorry if you think that. I think you are an interesting individual. A wonderful addition to the human stew…….

However, you are as stubborn as a mule, when it comes to how geocaching should work. Well, to each their own view points and opinions.

And sometimes your defense of your views come across more as ‘this is the way you should do it’, and so I must protest.

I would consider meeting you half way, but I’m busy organizing those pesky bus Tours. 8)
