Sadly, you are right.
Ye...Miss McC: Yes they are. Sadly, you are right.<br /><br />Yes, it is a little nature-y and not as crowded as Target.<br /><br />GH: Geocaching already has some strict rules. Caches have to be at least a tenth of a mile apart (Too small in my opinion) and all cache placement must be okayed by geocaching volunteers.<br /><br />The old time geocachers used to be careful with their placement and would do it thoughtfully. As the geocaching community has grown, the thoughtfulness has been overtaken by the numbers-game people who just want to "log them all" and really don't care about the actual location or what they are doing to it.Bruce H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00180515178920053080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-31526596324282074642010-08-24T14:03:00.110-05:002010-08-24T14:03:00.110-05:00I wonder, as the hobby has continued to grow, has ...I wonder, as the hobby has continued to grow, has there been any talk amongst geocachers about putting limits on caches? Like no more than 2 caches per mile of trail? I don't know that it's practical or enforceable, but like most hobbies, with any controls or guidelines, it's simply too easy for it to spin out of control.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment about the Secret Spot. I decided years ago that out of all the trails I shared with others, I'd keep one just for me. Of course, it's a public park, so that's not really true, but at least in my mind it's all mine. Hopefully you'll find a spot like that for yourself. :)GeekHikerhttp://geekhiker.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-5844771601625068012010-08-24T08:31:29.363-05:002010-08-24T08:31:29.363-05:00Like you go out into nature to see where all the d...Like you go out into nature to see where all the dumbasses you are trying to avoid have trampled all over the place. People are stupid sometimes. <br /><br />I probably will never go to your favorite spot, since it sounds very nature-y. Now if your favorite spot was a Target...missmccrackenhttp://bloggart.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
