Now that's just not right !
I'm happy they are no longer approving those types of caches.

I mentioned to a few of you guys the discussions I was having with
Geocaching admin about find anywhere caches like "Covered Bridges". They
pretty much shot me down.
Have you seen the one for yellow jeep.
All you have to do is find one, take photo and coordinates and log it.
It doesn't matter that it could move in the next few minutes.
