- Well, with all this thought of Extreme, it reminds me of an incident that happened this summer that I just could not believe. I guess it could be an idea for dangerous and extreme caches too. Make a series of caches in the impact area of a firing range.

This summer during a live fire at a range, I noticed somebody walking out from behind the berm we were shooting into. After calling a cease fire, we got the guy and asked what in the world he was doing back there. He said he saw the sign that said Danger: Impact Area. Keep Out.  So he decided to walk back there to see what was so dangerous.

This guy was a candidate for a Darwin Award if I ever saw one. Hey. That could be the name of the cache / series. The Darwin Award Cache Series. Put all the danger and disclaimer stuff you want on there, and it will only spur these guys on to see what all the fuss was about.

Hope to never see one of
these in St. Louis.  Not sure
why someone would go through
the trouble or how groundspeak
would let one of these get
approved.
