I'll just have to search for others. It might be hard to fill the box in multiples. I quick PQ search shows there is only 1 cache within 1 hour of my home location. Of course it has to be a puzzle, but I see several names in the logs of fellow SLAGA members. That means I know who to ask should I need help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:22:46 -0500 Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Can terrain/difficulty ratings changes impact your statistics? From: jimsgreene@xxxxxxxxx To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Yep, somebody changed the ratings for that cache and it went off your chart. Some of the challenge placers will still let you count it if you have a record of it before it was changed. What was the D/T rating? And the cache? Keep an eye out for another one with that rating and go for it. It doesn't happen often, but a couple of mine have been tweaked after I heard back from finders or seekers.

How did that happen? I can only imagine that a cache was updated with new information. But I would think if I had a previous find for that cache that it would not change my stats. It's frustrating! Has this happened to anyone else? Lena "brantole"
