Be Aware - Bots are here on Maine Cache Listings

[brdad]

My view in life is that there is a positive in every negative. Yep, the bot got some of my caches and a whole lot of others in Maine. On the other hand.....I think it has the Delorme Challenge completed.

Too funny!

I was just going to ask about this "bot" whatever that is, I think it hit ten of mine. I'll delete the logs and am just glad I don't have to worry about the actual caches!

in 2050 people will send robots to find the cache and/or mess with it.
in 2070 robots will send robots to find the cache and/or mess with it.

Yes the new one is Forest Defender. Was at over 3500 this morning. I deleted all the logs of my caches it found. About 20 so far. We all need to do the same.

Petr (geocaching handle Marcipanek) has burst on the scene in Southern Maine and has racked up huge numbers. Perhaps he is a bot?

If you go to their blog site it has thousands of pictures of caches they have found taken and destroyed!! So our caches may not be safe! I had five caches "attacked" but they are all in remote areas and I am unable to check on any of them soon.

Just by discussing this crap you have fallen into the trap set by this looser. To get the name out. Just another form of graffiti.

Why do you think he's on our GeoRally team? ha ha

After the long drive, and the strenuous hike I made with the parmachenees to find the Borestone Mountain cache on Saturday, I'm sure this bozo didn't get to the actual cache, even though it's logged as a find! However, I am also concerned about someone clicking on the link. Should I send an E-mail to groleau about it?
