I'd be contacting a reviewer in this case. Encouraging cachers to scale fences that (if my interpretation is correct) designate general public no-go zones (ie private property) isn't really a good thing.Richary wrote: I have heard from the people who did find it, and they have confirmed the location. They were asking me if as someone with more experience than them I thought this sort of hide was OK.
I'm in two minds whether to drop i!riblit a note on this one. Either way if it stays I will be placing it on my ignore list.

Re: Watching this new cache...
Here's a new approach:
include photos of where to go and a photo of the cache in situ!

Nothing new about having a picture hint on a cache.Yurt wrote:Here's a new approach:

It's only a 1.5 difficulty, obviously they want people to be able to find it.
What's the problem?

No problem at all. Plenty of pics. Might be able to go for it sans GPSr.Damo. wrote:Nothing new about having a picture hint on a cache.Yurt wrote:Here's a new approach:

A better note would be to read the guidelines, where this can be found.Yurt wrote:The latest drama:

You as the owner of the cache must visit the site and obtain the coordinates with a GPS

Re: Watching this new cache...
Yes I saw that on my update list. I am getting to the point of wondering whether I should just ignore any placements by these 2 new players in Sydney as soon as they come up.
Then again, I found two out of four placements by another new local team today before the rain came. Both highlighted reasons why every local park doesn't need a cache. First park was nice but the only hiding spot was behind someone's back fence that probably doesn't need the attention but there was probably nowhere safer to hide it.
Second park was also an easy find behind a fence, but in a park that has nothing to recommend it except there isn't a house there.

Maybe a better bet would just have been to archive it and tell them to read the guidelines. They may not even own a GPSr, both my finds today were from the TomTom getting me close enough and the hints. The Garmin hadn't even got a lock before I found them.You as the owner of the cache must visit the site and obtain the coordinates with a GPS

A sentiment close to my heart, which is why I placed this cache: http://coord.info/GC2B2DKRichary wrote:Both highlighted reasons why every local park doesn't need a cache.

Re: Watching this new cache...
At least that one comes with appropriate warnings. I'm still considering whether to hit it for find #3000. Find #1000 was a crap micro on a transformer called "Just For The Numbers". It seemed appropriate.Zalgariath wrote:And I this one which I believe Richary is saving hahaha -=Poison Cache=-
