I did the only members-only up in Ellsworth this summer and found it trashed. It was located at a very busy fishing spot. It has not been replaced. Considering that the Augusta-area cache trashers...
Actually, there is a lot of accessible wooded land at certain locations on the river side. Where my cache was happened to be where many people (teens partying? fisherman?) cut down to the river. ...
I always print it out decoded, but only look when I am stumped.
The cache disappeared sometime in the last month so I have archived it. Mine has been taken/trashed twice, and a previous cache on the trail was also taken. There has been a lot of vandalism along...
Not to be too off topic, but I found Old Speck Spectacle to be very hard to find. We looked a long time.
I look forward to getting one!
My personal opinion:
Permission should be asked for placing a cache on any private property unless it is clear that the public are unconditionally welcome (e.g., the Northern Maine woods).
...
We could always set a day and time for Mainers to go online at Clay Jars site, different than the "national" time of geocachers. Then we could get the best of both worlds. Say, Sunday night at 8PM?
Great response!
I have found that clouds affect my Etrex slightly. I was on the ocean on the 5th in fog. (It really is a blast to navigate with GPS and no visibility, but go slow, be familiar with the area, and...
I guess I don't understand why someone would want to place a cache far from home and depend on someone else to maintain it. If a local person really wants to take care of it, then they should own...
I am a big Internet consumer and find that most vendors get a lot of profit from shipping. GC is not any worse than others, but the idea of combining orders is great! Let me know if it happens.
Could someone briefly explain how paperless caching works? Can you somehow download the text from a cache page to a PDA?
Very interesting information! I love statistics.
I really like the map feature on my Etrex. I have MapSource Roads and Rec and the level of detail is incredible. Even little obscure dirt roads show up on it. I do wish the screen was bigger and...
Good condition because the contents were stolen from another cache and it had been visited by nice people only!
I have corresponded with the Vaughn Woods owner, and we agreed his was a victim as well.
One last thing. I noticed that their cache is still active. Considering that they created it to steal TBs unwittingly left there, I wonder why GC didn't archive it. I posted a note on Groundspeak...
According to their profile, GC has banned the team. Hopefully, that saga is over.
Hey, great news! Regardless of how they respond, I'm glad to see GC took action.
It's only about 1/2 mi from my house. I thought it was a neat place. Maybe I can take it over. I guess I would submit it as if new and explain the situation to the approver?
They acknowledged having them.
Another update. THETEAM seems to be feeling a bit of pressure. Three TBs that they have had for months were all of a sudden logged today. What a coincidence! I would hope that GC.com sees through...
As some of you know, there is a group damaging caches in the Augusta area called THETEAM. I posted something on the Groundspeak New England section that explains it (it was shut down for an...
I didn't know that. Those nasty logs are history!
