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.
