I tend to give more praise to folks who've found difficult caches; whether that's bushwhacking many miles or solving a challenging puzzle. Therefore I give more credit to someone who's found 200 quality caches then someone who's racked up 2,000 skirt lifters. Please don't take that the wrong way, I've found my share of 1-1.5 difficulty caches and wouldn't bad-mouth anyone who does them exclusively.

If they're logging the same one as 'found' multiple times, I have to question their intentions. Either they don't know how to properly log their maintenance trips or they are trying to artificially run up their finds. Or possibly they are doing it just to bother people and buck the system.
Logging of finds??????????
I believe it was HikerRon who posted a thread in the NWAC forums
about geo-senility.
Lately I can't seem to find a 1/1 rated cache, so I doubt if I could find
my own hides during routine checks.
I find it hard to believe someone would log their own caches, but it
must be happening. If someone likes to cheat or embellish their numbers
in a game/sport/ hobby like this one, could you trust them with more
important issues in life? I would have to say NO, but they will more than likely to be the first ones to want a helping hand when the time comes.
They will have to be the ones to live with what everyone else already knows about them, and those numbers will mean a lot more than than their number of finds.

Just let me adopt it, then you can legally claim a find for it, & nobody can say nuthin'. Of course that will mean I own the ammo box after that, but isn't that a small price to pay for a smiley? 8) 8)
P.S. Don't laugh at the idea. It's better than spending 7,200 $$$ on a couple of plastic tubes, like someone did at Paris a month or so back. :twisted: :twisted:

I'll give you 20 cents for it. You going to Ouachita this weekend?? :twisted: :twisted:
P.S. I'll throw in a nickle extra to help you out with the extra gas it takes to tote that big tube around. That'll make it an easy & even quarter. :lol: 8)
