I need to find that cache someday just because it shares my username.

I don't think your wrong Hiram, I feel the same. I have been to so many unmaintained caches that it's starting to be a joke. But when you look at the profiles of some of the persons placing them you can understand why they go to pot. Who on earth is going to take care of theire cache when they only have a couple finds, or worse yet no finds. That's why I like minis or micros so much, they are much more challenging to find and if your only signing logs anyway you don't have to sort through junk. Just my thoughts, John
I like all of them. Big, small, micro. There have been a few that I have just refused to look for because of their location. And that's my perogative. I don't chastize the cache owner since others are enjoying them. I just don't choose to myself. As the old saying goes...Opinions are like A**holes, everybody has one. Thanks for listening to mine.
Happy Trails!

I'm not saying to make a set of laws for all geocachers to abide by, I'm just saying to write up a nice little paragraph or two explaining that caches are not trash cans and so on, so that people new to the sport get an idea of what caching is like (take the thread posted "Marooned Travel Bug" this guy from ohio took a trip down the alagash and dropped off someone else's travel bug off in a plastic bag on the islands!) perhaps if somebody would have told him that was a stupid idea and he was killing someones travel bug, he would have thought twice. just like if we were to tell people, "hey don't put your chewing gum in a cache" we could help to prevent nice caches from become geo-trashesOriginally Posted by Trezurs*-R-*Fun

I honestly think that if you have to tell a person not to leave their chewed chewing gum in a cache, chances are that person would do it anyways.Originally Posted by Hiram357
The individual who left the TB in the Allagash has chastised himself for having done this, he admitted his mistake openly in our forums and chances are he won't make it again. As you said, he's from Ohio, if Mainegeocaching had a section explaining the can and can't do's it stands to reason he may not have read it before his excursion into the Allagash seeing how he is from away.
Its not that I don't understand your frustration or that you don't have a valid point but most geocachers hold themselves to a certain standard when geocaching and that is what makes the overall experience great. Unfortunately, there are always those that don't care and create the frustration we all face when opening up a cache and finding cigarette butts. This brings me back to my original point that maybe we could remove the cigarette butts (Sorry WhereRWe?) and make the cache a little better for the next cacher.
Happy Caching!!!
Hehe, I meant grab a rock that was lying beside the cache and toss it in for the next cacher. As matter of fact I got a polished stone used as a signature item and a piece of crystal Quartz out of caches that I thought were really cool.Originally Posted by tat

I assume when you say "listening to mine" you mean your opinion . . . and not a-hole?Originally Posted by Mainiac1957
