I have done some poor caches in the past and there is no call for the
negative comments being on the cache page. Just log the cache as a no find,
leave a simple message and PRIVATELY e-mail the cache owner with your
concerns.
Have some class....don't downgrade the sport because you were upset with a
cache that you visited TWICE!

I checked the cache after the negative log and the cache is indeed gone.
While the cache was certainly "unusual" I thought it would be a fun 3-minute
cache for people who did the math. And, what it lacked in scenery should
have certainly been compensated for with the quality of items in the cache.
Cougars plus Junior Fries was probably $50+, and it was a concerted effort
to increase cache quality in the area. I visited one in Jackpot, Nevada
last year where the contents were 37 cents, two golf tees, a moldy
cigarette, a broken child's watch, and three broken-point pencils. Very
sad. I'd hate to see caching in this area go that far downhill.
Our family did Syrup with your Wapel and thought it was one of the
best-stocked caches we'd ever been to. So, we did Junior Fries and Cougars
Don't Wear Pants along the same lines - ammo cans chock full of stuff. I
had an unusual story to tell with the Cougars cache, plus I never miss a
chance to poke fun at BYU - hence the win-loss record calculated into the
coordinates. And, the folks at Costco were most helpful in getting
approval. They thought the back of the building there would see very little
traffic, so we could be in a rather developed setting but still away from
the geomuggles.
Once a week, I sit down with my daughter and read all the log entries out
loud to her. It's her favorite part of caching, I think. But, you can't
please everyone. We'll set out a few new ones in the coming weeks, and I
promise some diabolical homework on at least one (can anyone say modulo
multiplication?)
