Bump!
Congrats on #100, that’s the first big milestone everyone wants to hit. You made it, now go find, and plant some more!
Robins, Robins everywhere. Dead Squirrels too???
WGA: I’m not grumpy, keep looking!
Congrats on the 5k!!!
Nice work. Thanks to you and the BOD for taking on this issue. Hopefully, opening communication with them will make for a mutually beneficial outcome.
Congrats on 12000 Ralph! Quite an accomplishment indeed.

It’s heartbreaking when this happens, I know from personal experience. I also know how much time and effort you put into your caches, just like me. It’s tough not to take it personally, but try not to let it drive you from the sport. It seems that the people that put in the most effort in cache hiding are the ones that seem to be targeted most too.
I haven’t published a new cache in far more than a year because of cache theft, but I’m hoping to give it one more try this spring. If they go missing again, I’m not leaving the sport, I’m just not going to be hiding any more caches like I have in the past. It’ll be ammo containers and match stick holders from there out.
Don’t give up!

Valid point, I asked Wis Kid about a cache I wanted to do, not only did he offer good advice he asked a few questions as to what I was trying to do and actually made good suggestions for the cache considering additional logging requirements
They are there to help, and do whenever they can. As long as everyone understands there are limitations to what they are able to do and can do.

Well that does not sound right. I had work to do on the cach pages. They just dont happen over night. Take for instance the State series. I know i would be very upset after doing all the work to put the series together and then have the kabash put to it just because someone posted before me. I thought that was the reason to save spots. Im working on a 56 cache hide now and i will not run out, get the cords then publish one at a time. What a waste of time.
You can always contact our reviewers and let them know you want a series published together and have them review them prior to publish. They might just help you out there. Ask nicely and bribe often!
As for whether older non-enabled, pre-published cache pages take precedence over a newer placed cache, I would never assume anything.
Exactly. It’s been my experience that the reviewers will help if/when they can, but they aren’t in the practice of holding spots indefinitly.

Ok … here’s a solution …
1. Open a new geo account, this makes you an unknown person.
2. Start a new cache as that new geoperson, but don’t release it for approval (so it’s a “photo dumping” cache) and attached a photo.
3. Reference that picture to the reviewers.
… How would us viewers find the picture … we don’t know what geocacher name to look for to find the picture attached to an unapproved cache.
Ya, that pretty much what I did, BUT I SHOULDN”T HAVE TOO! So now every person who does puzzle has to do this????
…and now the reviewers have a cache floating in their queue permanently too. Not sure how they’re going to like that.
I’d buy one, and I stopped buying geocoins almost 2 years ago. The design would have to be great tho. Even a silver coin isn’t worth $50 if the design is bad.
Puddle of Mudd, Brat Stop, TIRED!
Sounds like a new challenge cache??? Or is there one already?
