[Az-Geocaching] Who needs a GPSR

[Scott Wood]

My wife and I found two caches today without ever turning our GPSR on.

We went to a park in the Tucson area that we have been planning on leaving 
our first cache at today to plant it, and while hiking in the area to find 
a suitable place, we found two caches, left by the same person, marked with 
www.geocaching.com within 15 yards of each other. The problem was that 
neither of these caches were even hidden, just sat right in the middle of 
the trail.

Neither cache is listed on www.geocaching.com so there is no way to contact 
the owner of the cache, and there is no e-mail address in the cache. 
According to the log book, both have been found in the past, and the caches 
were placed on the 19th of October. Both were also started with only one 
item with a logbook, in pretty flimsy plastic containers.

Needless to say I was somewhat upset to find that someone had beat me to 
the park to place a cache, but the more I thought about it, the thing that 
has me more upset is the careless way in which these caches were placed. I 
can see where this is going to give cachers a really bad name.

I hope that the person who placed these caches reads this listserv and will 
do something about these caches.  It is a beautiful park, and a very good 
place for a cache, but if they are going to be placed, they should be in 
such a way that they are actually hidden, and please list them on 
geocaching.com.



In liberty,

Scott
