Anyone know what this is about and why it was brought 'public'? Am I
missing something?

I consider your tone and the content of your recent email imperious and
insulting. As with previous emails concerning the status of caches and
travel bugs that really were not your concern, I do not appreciate that you
feel cachers (myself and others) need your instruction and monitoring of
their cache activities.

I was under the assumption that the cache won as a drawing at the Picacho
Peak event was mine to place. Due to recent family obligations, I was
unable to place it in a remote area in a timely manner. Rather than have it
sit at my house any longer, I felt it important to get it placed and
necessary to place it where I could maintain it properly as a cache owner.

Do not assume that urban caches are more vulnerable than those on mountain
tops and therefor should not be placed. Also erroneous is the idea that a
cacher that reaches a remote cache is less likely to plumder it. The joy of
geocaching is that there is something for everyone - serious rock climbers,
family groups with young children, handicapped cachers, or the cacher that
runs out to pick up a new urban cache on a lunch hour.

If you had such serious restrictions for the "door prize" cache from Picacho
Peak and felt you owned it, perhaps you should have placed it yourself in
some remote area.    This should not have then been a prize cache.

If you send me your address, I will return the cache contents to you and the
cost of the ammo can (currently about $5 here in Tucson). I will replace
the log book and maintain this as a separate cache with no ties to you and
will note such in a new logbook..The cache should not be removed by anyone
other than myself as the cache owner or on instructions from the
administrator.
