[Az-Geocaching] READ THIS CACHE SITE -

[ShadowAce]

Here is his reasons:

- The travel bugs that I removed from this cache had been in the cache
an average of 25 days each, and each of these travel bugs had been
passed up by an average of 10 geocaching teams before I grabbed them.
I took five travel bugs, but I immediately moved two of them to nearby
caches later in the same day. I took pictures of those travel bugs and
uploaded them to both my cache and travel bug log entries.

- There is no need for a travel bug hotel in this location. There are
many geocaches nearby with regular-sized containers. This is not in
the middle of the city but is near the edge of Tonto National Forest.
There are over 50 caches within a five-mile radius of this location,
and most of these caches have containers that are large enough to fit
most travel bugs. It may take a little more effort, but if one has
multiple travel bugs, isn't it better to put them in a variety of
different caches rather than one single cache?

- This cache is exposed and is very close to a street corner. The
cache site is close enough to be seen by motorists who are stopped at
the stop sign. Whenever I come here, I see new litter desosited in the
area, and usually I pick some of it up. There is good chance that this
cache could be found accidentally by a non-geocacher, who would likely
take the cache and/or it contents, especially since the contents
contain a large variety of music and computer CDs which is more
valuable than the contents of most caches. I do not like to put travel
bugs in caches that I feel are too exposed.

- The geocacher who commented on what I did on the cache page has
nearly 1,000 cache findings, but has more than 2,000 travel bug
findings. I, on the other hand, have close to 1,600 cache findings,
but I have less than 400 travel bug finds. Enough said.
