Very well said. Thank you Bill.

 

PS What’s playing? My wife lived there when she was growing up.

 

 

An interesting comment.  I cannot disagree.  My wife and I have enjoyed geocaching for a long time now.  When we started, the top team in AZ was under 500 finds.  We found some aspects of the game to be overcompetitive, so we just don't log our finds.  For us, the fun is the search, and in the back country places the search takes us.  (We have never looked for or found an "urban" cache.)  What we do is not better or worse than the way others play the game.  It is just different.  Some like the competition of being FTF on a cache.  Others like the numbers.  I am reminded of golf.  Some say it is a contest against yourself.  Can you play better than you have before?  Not me.  I prefered to beat the guys I was playing with.  For me, golf was a very competitive game.  (I seldom actually beat the guys I was playing with, but that's another story.)  Now, for those to whom the numbers are important, having a cache deleted for no good reason is a big deal.  Others couldn't care less.  Who's right?  Both, because they are playing the game for different reasons and with different goals.

 

If you are having fun, then the way you are playing works for you.  If you aren't, go to the movies instead.  In fact, go to the movies in Willcox, where, by coincidence, I own the theater.

 

Bill in Willcox.

Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Why I am thnking of public retirement

This is exactly why I am semi retired.  I don’t always log on the website when I find one, and my thirst for having to search is not there.  This is a game, and until people remember that this is a GAME, people will continue to be pissed off by others. 

 

There are too many other things in life to worry about whether someone deleted my log, or the cache owner  deleting a log because they felt like it. 

 

Can’t we all just get along and Have fun???????
