Perhaps the owner didn't realize they gave it away. If there was no background photo and a means of confirmation was added, it wouldn't be a bad cache. Maybe an email to the owner could fix it.

I personally like caches that visit memorials as long as there is a good way to provide confirmation. I prefer just saying the person has to post a photo of themselves with their GPS at the site. It does require a camera, but that way I don't have to deal with emails.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but geocaching in Arizona has hit a new low. I don't like the new virtual cache GC6FD5. It's a freebie without any requirements. No requirement to visit the statue, no requirements to Email the owner- there's no requirement to justify a "find" on this statue. The "reward" is a certificate that is password protected. However, the password is shown in the background picture and is in the web link attached to the cache description. So what's the purpose of this cache (if you can call it that)?
