As a cacher who plays on multiple geocaching websites, I’d like to make a suggestion about the WGA “Hiding a Cache” page.
The guidelines currently are written with sole regard to http://www.geocaching.com rules and regulations. Many of these rules and regulations simply don’t apply to all geocaching activities in Wisconsin.
If a cacher wants to place a cache on the GC.com website, their rules are clearly posted. I don’t feel it’s necessary to repeat them without full disclosure of other options.
Some rules are common sense safety issues (such as the railroad track rule), but there may be a cache that is perfectly acceptable that would violate that particular regulation.
The specific lines on the “Hiding a Cache” guidelines to which I refer are:
For your safety and the safety of other geocachers, the WGA asks that all geocachers placing caches in Wisconsin abide by the following rules set forth by geocaching.com and by the various local, state, and national government bodies which govern public land in Wisconsin. These rules and regulations are subject to change so please check back for any updates prior to hiding your next cache.
I don’t think the WGA should declare GC.com as the sole judge of how to place a cache.
Never bury a cache. A cache is considered buried if it must be dug up by hand or by tool. Placing rocks, bark, logs etc. over a cache is not considered burial, nor is placing a cache into a naturally occurring crevice or hole. If a shovel, trowel, or other pointy object is used to dig to hide or find a cache, it’s not appropriate.
While GC.com does not approve buried caches, other websites may not have such restrictions. Perhaps a Buried Treasure cache would be an exciting adventure.
When placing a cache, be sure that it is at least 528 feet (0.10 miles) away from any surrounding caches. This includes all waypoints of surrounding multi or mystery caches.
This does not apply to any website other than GC.com.
If you place a cache or a stage of a multi-cache hunt within a commercial location, keep in mind the prohibitions against commercial caches. If a fee, purchase, or solicitation (monetary or otherwise) is required to gain access to the cache or waypoint, the cache is not allowed. Caches placed to promote commercial, political, religious, or other social agendas are also disallowed.
Commercial caches are approved on other websites.
Because I believe monopolies belong nowhere except in a communist society, I have to agree with most of your opinion here.
The only part I would have trouble with is your statement about commercial caches. I think there are enough commercials, political advertisements and religious door-knockers in our world already. Lets try our best to keep that out of geocaching.
That’s even more fun with a snowmobile.
Greetings, and welcome to the addiction!
Sweet deal, thanks.
I don’t know what Kenosha’s official snowfall totals were for this storm, but measuring in the middle of the lot, we had 10.5 inches to just under 14 inches with snow drifts as high as 39 inches. 😯
Gotta love that lake effect snow. Sheesh I hope we get at least 2 more storms like this yet this spring.

For Mr. Negativity. 😉 😀
I like this one but how about Red and white since that the official state colors think, and not just the UW colors.
I’m trying my best to change this one to red and white. My problem is Microsoft Paint. Anytime I try to change a color, or draw with a new color on this or anything I import into it, it only does shades of gray. I can’t figure it out. Any idea why???
If I could have any bike, it would surely be this one:
The best road trip I can remember wasn’t very long, but it was memorable. It was when my Father took me to a car show for the first time, probably 1974 or 1975. I think it was in Iola, WI but can’t remember for sure. It was the first and last memory I have of riding in his 66 Jaguar XKE Roadster. He sold it shortly after because it wasn’t really a practical family car.
I sure would love to have that car today.
Any idea when these coins will ship?
If you find a place that sells them, please clue me in. I’ve had a cracked LCD cover on my Meridian for over a year now (bike accident) and I can’t seem to find a replacement. Magellan still has not responded to the 4 emails I’ve sent. There’s that great customer service I always speak of. 😯

I thought I’d try this design thing for a change, so here ya’ go.
You already know. You’ve had a cache near it before.
Never been there but it’s on my list.
I believe it was named Easter Island because it was discovered on Easter. The poor soles that built those statues condemned themselves by using up all the wood on the island to move them. Once the statues were mostly completed, they had to leave they’re beloved homeland for lack of firewood, shade and building materials.
Wonder where/who their ancestors are?
Never heard of the candies before, but they look tasty, so I signed the petition anyway.
