[Az-Geocaching] Good or bad location

[Gale]

That is sad. There should be caches for those who like hikes and there should be caches for those who would love to hike but have broken down bodies that cant do it.

        I had a very similar experience. I placed 3 caches near a well 
        maintained dirt road in Coconino National Forest here in Arizona. I 
        put them in areas that i knew that people with kids or people who 
        could not hike long distances could easily find. I saw this as doing a 
        favor for people who could not do the difficult ones. After all 
        Geocaching is supposed to be fun for everyone.
      
      
        Well, the person who logged the ftf on all 3 left very negative 
        comments about all 3 caches. Saying that they do not belong in the 
        forest. Like he was the jugde as to what could be put there. The 
        comments were not in the spirit of geocaching at all. Honestly, I 
        believe the guy (at the time) was being a total jerk about it. I wrote 
        to him telling him pretty buch what I just wrote and to lighten up. 
        Its just a game and I was going to delete his logs. He redemed himself 
        and i thank him for that. He apologized for his comments and edited 
        all his logs. Story should be over right?? well 2 disappeared and I 
        noticed it just before the snow storm. I have not been able to check 
        on the 3rd. That is pretty much all I know so please tell me if you 
        think this is a cooincidence. I will be checking on the 3rd as soon as 
        it dries out a bit.

I 
        have a cache at the Organ Stop Restaurant which is not just a 
        restaurant but a wonderful place to take your family for an enjoyable 
        adventure. It has been muggled a couple of times. Recently someone 
        suggest that I archive it. The reason was that "a restaurant parking 
        lot was not a good place for a cache." They went on to tell me that 
        there were many scenic places in the Tonto forest to place a cache.

I 
        would love to be able to have caches that are out in great scenic 
        areas but I have a full time job and cannot always get out to those 
        types of places and therefore could not maintain them properly.

I 
        also think that this cache location was a great idea. I have had a lot 
        of positive feedback but this was the first negative comment and I 
        guess I was kind of hurt. I responded that I was going to look for a 
        more secure area at the same location and this was when they suggested 
        the forest cache.

So my question to you all is this. Are these 
        types of locations good......or bad? Shall I archive it as 
        suggested....or get more creative and find another place at the same 
        location??
