    I'd more likely contact the owner of the cache as opposed to request archival in this situation. Needs Maintenance log would be appropriate IMO.

    In the only instance of peeing in caches I know of in Maine, it was by 'non-cachers'. They had an account but were not really cachers. But I have heard of it being done elsewhere by cachers doing it when they didn't like the cache hider. Can't guarantee the truth or how they verified it, but I can see it happening.

    Seriously, if you are so mad at another cacher you feel the need to pee on thier cache, you need to get a life. Part of the charm of the game is the fact that it is designed based on the honesty of the individual. I've placed 16 caches, and I check each one online once a week and physically every 3 months or so. I got a maintainance note on one just recently and I admit it took me a few days to get out and replace a wet log, but I did it as soon as I could. The poster was even nice enough to tell me that I did not need to disable it, but that it needed checking. It's my cache = it's my responcibility. It seems like all of the cachers I've meet at events or on the trail have been really nice. Even nicer considering I usually have a few kids in tow and this game seems to attract people who are past that stage in life (no offense intended, seriously) I just know that can bug some people. I play my part of the game has honestly as I can, and if some cannot, I really just ignore it.

    Why can't we get a government sponsered tick eradication program?

    What about people who ream another person out for going off topic one day, claims the OP's question was answered in the first reply, and that such unneeded posts should be referred to different thread - Only to do exactly the same thing themselves????

    My peeve is litter.

    Litter in general ticks me off. I've been known to stop random strangers and tell them that they "accidentally" dropped their trash.

    We're fairly new to caching but the WORST litter situation we've seen while caching was at GC10DTY. The beach was beautiful but there were a bunch of empty bottles and cans We picked up what was there but I hate that people can be so insensitive and leave their junk lying around like that.

    It's not that hard to pick up the trash before leaving... and if they recycled they would get back their bottle/can deposits! Makes no sense.

    I have to admit. I am not active when it comes to promoting goodwill with the environment. I do hate when I see litter though. Caching has made me more aware and more sensitive to it. I have been wanting to attend a CITO and become better when it comes to this.

    FFFarmer once found a cache of mine . . . and then proceeded to CITO the area . . . I think he actually made out OK financially on that geocaching run since he had a number of returnables from the party that was held at the area a day or two prior.

    Might I suggest The 5th Annual Penobscot River Clean-up (GC1NC34) by Maine Geocachers (1.5/1.5)
    Happy Trails!

    No Pet Peeve; just testing something.

    Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
