There were over a dozen caches published last night. As caches are submitted for approval they are put in que in the order recieved. There could be 20 in front of yours. The reviewers don’t clear the board every night. I think you need to be a little more considerate of what they do. They are just regular geocachers like me and you that have families and jobs and do the reviewing for no pay in their spare time.
if you read the guidelines it says it may take up to 72 hours
Congratulations Dave, thanks for all of the hides too!

Read your post too fast and thought you were having sinus problems.

AS ADVERTISED!! IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE LAME CACHES
THEN JUST DON’T FIND THEM! SHOW US YOUR CREATIVITY AND HIDE MORE THAN 3.Tough crowd down there in the real “PnG Capitol of Wisconsin”. Can’t wait to get down there and grab all of those lame caches.
We have done at least a half dozen EC’s that required you to calculatethe height of the feature using elevation readings. We have the lowest model garmins and have no problems with this. It will get published for you.
Everyone’s opinions will vary on this topic. Here’s a “will attend” log from a well known Illinois geocaching team with over 10K finds for this year’s Ca$h Bash. G.O. Johnand Carol

you do have a point there. plus ill probably be blackballed around here. lol
You really need to get out of West Bend and see what is out there. PnGs and power trails of PnGs are the rage right now and it probably won’t stop. As long as cachers keep finding them hiders will keep hiding them. Some are good and some are bad. The amount of PnGs in West Bend is not that different from many other areas. Not defending them or criticizing them. Just something that you have to put up with if you want to keep cachin’.
There are 20,000 caches hidden in Wisconsin. If you don’t like these PnGs try some of the other ones.

OK, now who wants to buy the two rolls of vintage film we found when we were doing some organizing last month?
We’ve been digital since 2005. 😆I threw all of our old 35mm film away long ago and guess what I did with the containers.

Becca can buy it, places some caches, and then rent it back to MGT. Problem solved. Everybody wins. 😆
Ha Ha, real funny!
She only lives 10 miles away and already wants to get back at me for some of our hides.
Between gas and canoe rental I would have to give up geocaching for something less expensive.Here’s a perspective from a hiders point of view. We have hidden over 400 caches. We held an event last Saturday that drew many out of the area cachers and all of our local friends. Between the 10 new hides and our others in the area we had over 300 “found it” logs and less tha 5 dnf’s. I felt bad about those who had the dnf’s and gave out hints to help to a few of them. While we hide our caches to be found we up the challenge through terrain and longer hikes at times. I don’t know the hider being questioned so I won’t criticize his motives, but I don’t see the point of hiding large quantities of caches that are either poor quality or deceptive in nature. The point that I agree with most strongly that someone else brought up is how discouraging this can be for new geocachers. I will disagree with the notion of simply putting these caches on “ignore”. If the majority of our hides were poor quality and too difficult to find I know I would be criticized similarly for that and taking up space where quality caches could be placed. Geocaching would not exist if it wasn’t for the minority of those participating who hide the majority of the caches for everyone to find. With that being said I always tell new cachers who want to start placing hides that it is not your right to do so, but a privealage. So I hope everyone will hide resposibly and preserve this activity that we all enjoy.
