I still have a lot to learn before I can say with certainty that any cache is questionable.

I would appreciate it if you would provide a list of at least some of the GCs for the caches you find questionable in terms of their location. You can e-mail me privately as well if you prefer.

I did some reading online. I need to check this out when i get home because it seems that, legally speaking, geocaching is quite limited. So far it seems that several the caches that I had in mind to visit may have been inappropriately placed...

Anyway, thanks for this tip.
