[Az-Geocaching] New feature of Geocaching

[Craig]

>From what I've read in the last day or so on FB's Cacher's group, there's a
lot of confusion, frustration, and more than a tinge of dismay about this
new category.  Think I'm with Jason and will wait a bit to see where the
chips fall.

FYI, based on what I have been reading in the forums about the debacle of
the challenges starting yesterday ... this one will soon be archived.

 

They MUST be location specific. "Take a picture in front of a flag" is too
general ... "Take a picture in front of the flag in Tucson located at XXX"
would be acceptable.

 

Only Groundspeak is supposed to be able to put out general world-wide ones
at this point.

 

Just a heads up to anyone that may be thinking of putting some of these out
there ... I for one and waiting until all the kinks to work out before
considering it.

We now have Challenge caches to accept, we have issued a challenge in the
Tucson area to anyone that wants to find it.  Will be interesting to see how
this plays out.

Have fun.
