With the recent talk about Locationless caches, I admit that I did a few =
of them early on when I started caching, and even own one...kind of =
They never put it in the locationless caches, but put it into Montana, =
which is just fine with me as this is one that I did to honor my parents =
(GC58C4). Again I really did it for myself, just to honor my parent's =
motel...not to have a locationless.=20
I haven't done a Locationless cache in almost 2 years, but if the spirit =
so moved me, I would probably do others. Really, I'm just to busy to =
look for a lot of the stuff, and would much rather get out with my boys =
and do other caches. =20
However, there is one that I will do, if I ever find one and/or take the =
time to look. But I do watch this locationless, and do so PROUDLY. =
That one is...(GC9544). It is especially gratifying to do so when a =
story like the following is logged.... =
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=3D4b131fdf-61e0-4b28-bf91-6f=
9de7e4763b
Although some may say that this locationless isn't really geocaching, I =
would say that this is exactly what geocaching is for: A chance to =
discover a location, experience an event (in this case a horrific one), =
wonder what possessed a human spirit to perform such a selfless and =
desperate act, and choke in awe and pride from the fact that he DID.
It's possible that those of you who have not served in uniform may not =
understand the feelings that I experience reading the logs from this =
Locationless Cache, and that is perfectly acceptable. However, in my =
opinion, and it IS just my opinion, this is one of the most remarkable =
caches on the web site, even though it is a trite Locationless.

the site they propose to claim for the cache has already been logged by =
someone else, here is an opportunity to claim a log finding for a =
locationless cache site that didn't exist when the locationless cache =
was made. Find the large object at N 33=B0 31.966 W 112=B0 15.675 and =
upload a photograph of it to your log entry for this cache (GC4E84). =
You can see my "Note" entry for this cache here.
