i probably should have started a new topic with the second part of my rant. sorry.
in most cases an instance like this does not effect much, but in this case, even without the coordinates being posted, it gives my entire puzzle away.
also,
in my book, if the posted coordinates don’t take you directly to the cache (or a set of coordinates which then take you to the final as in a multi) it should be listed as a puzzle. i d/l a pq for traditionals/multis and off i go. now i get to the coordinates only to realize that i have to do some field (or home) research to find the final. without having the cache page with me, this becomes a dnf real fast. puzzles in my mind.
also,
i have a bunch of caches in the bad lands (door county). recently a cacher has been placing multi caches (field solves so they are actually puzzles, see above) at the same exact spots that i have some of my maritime caches. now my cache icons on the map page get covered up and are unseen by others. whats the sense of taking the time to place a cache, any cache, and then have other cachers place multis (puzzles) directly on top and obscuring them from all to see? i have tried to contact reviewers multiple times with no response from any of them. i don’t know who else to contact. i know that all of these issues are legal in the eyes of geo.com but it is my hope that somebody proposes changes to these rules.
end of rant (maybe) hahawe just did a utah loop earlier this summer. zig zagged the whole state. it was mainly a national park tour but we also did some prospecting/mineral/gem hunting all over the state. we collected hundreds of trilobite fossils, amethyst, petrified wood, garnet, oolitic sand and other gems and minerals. along the way we did quite a few earthcaches in the parks as long as we were there and a few roadside ones also. mainly ec’s or virtuals with some historic theme make our list. we lay out our route with hudreds of caches and as we drive by we hit the ones at places we need to stretch for a minute or two. we pick and choose at the moment we are driving by, skipping most of the rest. always load 3 times more than you plan on doing. we always incorporate geocaching wherever we go but we don’t let it rule us. geocaching (ec’s) is what got me interested in geology in the first place. a couple years ago we did a yellowstone loop. if it wasn’t for ec’s, we would have never left the main road and missed a lot of the beauty of the park.
I always have the container hidden before submission of the paperwork. If it gets rejected then I go back and retrieve my container. No big thing. Also, co is not a newbie.
Countryside diner and pub in Brussels WI. Not much to look at from the outside but is worth the stop. Brags to be “home of the hash brown sandwich.” This sandwich is a monster of a meal. Imagine a thick layer of hash browns covered with a layer of eggs, ham, mushrooms, peppers and onions (or whatever you select) topped off with yet another layer of hash browns and all of that covered in cheese. It also comes with toast. This is a meal that no person should attempt to eat by themselves. The wife and I order the “half sandwich” and we usually take some home. this is a must stop as you pass through brussels. enjoy.
it might have a new name again but the sandwich is still the same
no. not over my dead body.

My personal preference is that multi’s should be just that – a series of containers where the coordinates say they are. Anything that requires any kind of research or solve should be classified a puzzle / mystery.
I agree with CodeJunkie. Any cache that doesn’t take you directly to the cache, or at least to a set of coords that eventually bring you to a cache should be listed as a puzzle.
all caches have now been adopted. thanks for the help.
On the Brink and Ceriline Creek are now owned by astroD team. thanks
stadium view and frozen tundra are taken by astro d
right click on the icon where the map used to be and then click “open in new window” and it works.
I appreciate everyones help. I will be taking a look at all of them before we leave. Thanks
yes, i deleted their logs. now today it looks as though they changed their name and relogged the same caches. my emails to this person go unanswered.
we are hoping to cover most of utah, south of salt lake city on a zigzag course that meanders all over utah from the eastside to the westside. natural bridges, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Grand Canyon National Park, flaming gorge, cedar breaks, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, zion, bryce and arches. not to mention some of the smaller parks, mineral and fossil sites, earthcaches and whatever. hitting u-dig fossils for sure.
i found one in door county that was placed by a hotel just for its visitors. it was not listed on any website at all. cache was in a dnr park.
