So says the hitchhiker's guide to the Universe :P
Glad I don't live in PA and don't any of you get any ideas here ..

Whatever happened to just plain ordinary traditional caches that a person can 
just go out and find.

We are losing sight of the beginners  with all these puzzle caches 

I have a good friend in WV who has a number of grandchildren that she takes to 
local parks to play and keep busy .....I thought maybe she and the kids might 
enjoy geocaching so I told her about it.....then I ran her zipcode to see what 
might be nearby and sure enough their was a cache within a mile of her 
house....A MICRO!!!!!! ...not good for kids ....I checked 15 caches within 4 
miles of her ...they were all MICROS or puzzle caches too hard for a beginner 
to figure out. So I gave her the page to look but she is not interested in 
taking kids to look for  35 mm film containers  and does not have the time or 
patience  to figure out complicated puzzles.

Puzzle and  complicated caches are fine for those who live in an area  and have 
the time to work on them but please remember there are some of us who do not 
have the time nor the inclination  to  figure this stuff out and beginning 
cachers are completely turned off by something too hard and difficult to work 
out. 

Just my thoughts ...have a great day
