Again, this all boils down to personal choice. 

 

You may not like a lot of the caches out there, Jim, but many people do. I
know you don't like puzzle caches and apparently don't like working on them
(as evidenced by your map page that requests puzzle cache solutions in lieu
of donations) but I personally like them, as do many others. Should they be
banned just because you don't like them and have been around in this hobby a
long time?

 

Let people enjoy caching as they see fit to enjoy it. You may not agree with
it, but one person's feeling shouldn't be able to trump the feeling of
others...

Actually, lots of the number hounds cannot be bothered with taking the time
to log a cache.  So they have developed shuffling.  They replace the first
container with one with a signed log, they sign the log on the way to the
next cache, and then replace the cache with the previous cache.  Then they
act like they are super cachers.

I've been thinking of a cache and calling it the "Yellow Jeep Cache."  It
would be an ammo box with 30 black decoy film canisters.  Then there would
be a clear film canister that is the real cache.  You will be able to log it
every time you put the clear one back in and refind it.  I think I would
limit it to 5,000 finds a day (and each could be a FTF in its new location).
I would only require them to sticker the log once and then put how many
times they found it on the log.
