Heck, I paid for the event and didn't even go. Last minute family
obligations came up and I wasn't able to attend. With four children, things
can happen at the last minute and I guarantee you that "my hobby" comes last
with the family and that is understandable. It seems to me that many of the
people who participate in the sport are retired or do not have children
still in the single digits.
I already spend one weekend a month away from my family and the other three
weekends they expect me to be there...I work fifty + hours a week, anyway
you get the picture.

Actually, nothing was said about finding caches in Bernie's post to the
list. It was just berating people for not coming and supporting your
efforts. Who knows why they didn't go. Maybe they had to work, couldn't
afford it (saw some posts like that), had family obligations, didn't want to
cache with 300 people on their heels, etc.
And maybe I misinterpreted, but I do believe Bernie's intent was to make
these people feel guilty because they aren't the dedicated geocachers he
thinks they should be.
I realize A LOT of work went into the event, but that is no excuse for
coming back to the list and berating those who didn't participate for
whatever reason.
It's up to you how you handle the temp caches. But even if people could find
the caches, they still won't not be reaping the benefits of the whole event.
There was a lot more we missed by not be able to go than a few caches, that
can't be experienced after the event.
I am just tired of seeing those who have the time to put into events like
this judge those who don't. You guys did a Fabulous job and we appreciate
it. But not everyone on this list is going to be able to or even want to
make caching a second profession.
Jen - who's rethinking going to find the caches even though I count as
staff.
