There is actually no "new" approval system for CITOs. I am only trying to communicate to the Arkansas geocaching community that there are local organizations which will be able to help cacher out if...
I recently became aware of some information that might be useful if you decide to host a CITO event in your area. Several cities in Arkansas have affiliates of Keep America Beautiful. The attached...
My friend and fellow reviewer, NC Reviewer, just contacted me with the following mystery concerning a cache somewhere in southern Arkansas.
The following link was also provided, which takes one...
Funny, but no one has bothered to ask me whether I needed help. It would seem to be just common courtesy to have done so. Well, the answer is that I don't need help at this time.
First off, I don't review EarthCaches. Those are a unique type of "cache" and are handled by an entirely different set of reviewers, separate from the "standard" geocache reviewers. Second,...
The cache page has been updated to show an opening date of December 27. You probably should call ahead, however, before visiting on this date or soon thereafter!
Regarding the coordinates, I...
I've notified Groundspeak about the problems. Thanks for letting us know about it, Judy!
Sorry, SJC, but I am the reviewer, not ORR. Regarding the challenges, reviewers are not involved in any way with them. Any questions, concerns, gripes, praises, etc. concerning the challenges...
The "placed" date is not the same as the "submit" date. One can place (or hide) a cache and then not "submit" the page for several days. The cache is not reviewed until it is submitted. That is...
The Geocaching.com website will be down for several hours on Wednesday, May 4th, in order to update the website coding. Click on this link to the Latitude 47 blog post: "Preview of Geocaching.com...
As a reviewer, I often get to hear about the bad side of geocaching. Much too often. Today, I received the following email (the name of the sender has been removed to protect her privacy):...
Help is needed no longer. I've already recruited another local cacher to help Brenda out.
I think it would be best for someone in the Pine Bluff area (or willing to travel to Pine Bluff) to assist her. There may be some coordinates verification and/or cache relocations involved, as well...
Brenda Hengel, the Director of Programming and Communications at The Arts & Science Center in Pine Bluff, has contacted me to see if someone would volunteer to help them out with one or more of their...
The "other" posting in question was deleted because the website user re-posted the full text of the rules / limitations that previously had been deleted at the request of the originator. This was...
The information was deleted at my request. The rules / limitations were not official Groundspeak rules / limitations and therefore should not have been publicly displayed since they gave the...
My handle comes from a large, fat lizard which lives in the southwestern desert areas, the chuckwalla. I come across these lizards quite often when I visit Arizona. I have no special association...
There appears to be some misunderstanding here. Please be aware that I knew nothing about possible issues with these caches before this thread was posted, nor had I contacted mountainborn about...
Please note that, as the cache owner, you have the website rights - and the responsibility - to archive caches yourself if you can no longer maintain them, do not feel they meet the guidelines and...
Welcome back to Arkansas! I am the reviewer for Arkansas, so if you have any specific question about a cache placement, just send me an email at...
For a more complete explanation, see this forum thread.
While consulting with the Ouachita National Forest (ONF) on whether or not a newly submitted geocache along Highway 7 would require a permit, I learned that I misunderstood some information provided...

"Fudging on the coordinates" is prohibited by Geocaching.com. When a cacher submits a geocache for review, they are obligated to provide accurate coordinates to the reveiwer. This is to ensure that...
I received an email from one Arkansas geocacher, asking about the reason for the change. For your information, here was my response:
