We had a great time swapping stories and hope everyone took note of the
_TRUE_ coordinates where we placed our flag. If yours wasn't in the same
_CORRECT_ place, we expect you to make a note in the description, the next
time you hide a cache, describing the amount of offset from our _TRUE_
coordinates to aid us in our future searches


- Regan, you didn't really take any of that seriously, did you?

Consider the Chandler Mini cache it was and is still a true original
Traditional cache the coords take you to the spot then you have to figure
out where it is hidden the coords took you to within acceptable GPS error
and frustrated many cachers without being braggadocios


- I'm not sure how this is even relevant? Especially considering 
Chandler Mini ''went missing'' 6 months ago and was archived 3 months ago.

In my description, I wrote:

The posted coordinates are approximate, as I had to interpolate from two
positions where I could get a good signal. ...

At least I had the decency to let people know, beforehand, that you 
can't just stand at the cache and expect 100% accuracy with your GPS, 
because of  nearby structures that can, and most likely will, interfere 
with a satellite signal.
