There are always strange people around that don’t like “strangers” in their ‘hood.  Would I have posted a SBA log?  Probably not, not in that circumstance anyway. 

If someone in authority would have wanted it moved, I’d probably do it then.

 

Even if it turns out that the cache is in a “legal” location, it’s not wanted there and it’s only a matter of time before that codger gets it moved.  Sounds like an

uncomfortable place to search for a cache anyway ( dogs barking, geezers yelling at you ) … it hardly seems worth it.

 

I assume that you sent the owner an e-mail …?  You mentioned that the cache owner hasn’t signed on to geocaching.com for a while.  A series of time-spaced

e-mails would begin the process of confirming whether or not the owner has abandoned the cache, leading to an archiving of the cache.  Anyway that’s what I’d do. 

 

 

As for a message board, well, as you know, there is a board maintained by larobly : http://superstitioncachers.phpbb3pro.com/index.php - it’s worth a visit.

 

I know that several people here don’t seem to be fond of boards but discussions such as these are facilitated by a threaded discussion … just my thoughts.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Wanna Chime In?

 

Yo AZ Geocachers! This is simpjkee. I always get these e-mails, but rarely post.

 

Anyway, I ran into a very interesting caching situation on Saturday. I'm still new to this game so I'm wondering what all of you guys and gals think about this and what you think about what I did and any advice for what to do in future situations.

 

The cache I'm referring to is: GCN05H You can read all the deatails there, but I'll give a synopsis here.

 

This cache is in Gold Canyon on a hill, along a hiking trail, in a subdivision. It's been in place for a couple years and has been found by a lot of cachers. I went to the cache on Saturday and a man who lived in the subdivision with his backyard toward the cache site began going nuts and yelling and such while I was signing the log. He was threatening me with calling the Sherriff and telling me I was on private property etc. I attempted to talk to him about it, but he was not willing.

 

I had decided that this was a first time deal and I was going to request that the owner move or archive the cache since it wasn't welcome. When I got home, I was really surprised to see that this neighbor situation has been an ongoing issue for over a year and that the cache owner has called the police on the neighbor (over the issue of wether this is a public hiking trail, etc).

 

I still requested that this cache be archived. It seems like this geocache is only instigating more trouble and furthurmore, the owner has not logged on since April 2007.

 

So ya wanna chime in? I'd appreciate hearing what you guys have to say.

P.S. On a total sidenote. Is there still any talk of moving to a real message board? An actual AZ message board would be awesome.
