[Az-Geocaching] sick and tired

[Regan Smith]

On the other hand what joy has the hiding brought you? I when I put out
Eating Crow thought is was a great cache and some of the logs were
fantastic, I was very *&^%(%(*&% when it was stolen twice...then when a
young mom mentioned the "drug" trades that were taking place decided not to
replace it, then You have not had the pleasure of meeting FRED, he I feel is
the way Urban caches should be, hidden in plain site and some caches have
even mistaken him for something else... He will be taken to nice little
places that will bring cachers to enjoy...and he cost lotsa...Then yeah
there is the sad fact that some people that didn't pay attention when
manners were discussed and plunder caches, infact I feel that some even go
out of their way to plunder a cache...but at the same time there will be
people that will go out of their way to enjoy a cache....That is why I feel
it is important that the hidder take the time to make the preparation to
hide the cache I cringe when a person hides a cache just to hide a cache,
and yes these caches might last...and could be in a neat place but with a
little more planning it would be even better...and I think there is a direct
correlation to the joy you get in hiding you get from it being found, both
outweigh plundering.   I hope that you will be able to get to the valley and
see FRED and Visit Friends Again, the first cache we at team Evil Fish put $
35 worth of goodies inside of a expensive Ammo can and it lasted 3 days the
second cache we only put in like $20 but $ was tight but the same size ammo
can :)


like Mike and Gale we too will be very sad if when we get to Prescott there
are no Trisha caches to find....




PS

say HI to the Great Jack-a-Lope Hunter and ask him in person how he got that
title (wink) RTW (wink) (wink)
