I was a FTF on a cache. I only have 61 finds, so a bit of a "newbie" even though I have been playing since 2004 with my dad.

I found a brand new cache, posted a FTF and signed the physical log. A couple people after me with thousands of finds could not find it. The CO removed my log and claimed I didnt sign the sheet. I messaged them and said I absolutely did sign, and could send photos. He replied he would, "check the log".

I resigned the app log, and he posted maintenance as, "all is good here".

Well fhe big accounts went back and found the log, and then claimed I was not the FTF on the app. I went back to the cache, and turns out, the CO replaced the physical log.

My question is WHY. I'm tempted to steal the cache since I never found it anyway.

EtA: I won't actually steal the cache. But I want to because I'm mad. That's all.

I have a 3 stage multi cache that's about 8 years old, placed in touristy park that's sees hundreds of visitors a week during summer but has only 5 finds,the last being 3 years ago.

I feel that when I first started, multis were placed and found regularly but I've noticed a decline in finds for all my areas multis. Are they just not as popular anymore?

In full disclosure, there's a high amounts of dnf or needs matenience logs from people who showed up while the park was closed despite available hours being listed, co matenience logs or notes from me assuring it's still there and editiorals from other cos. Could those have something to do with it?

I'm wondering if I should make it a traditional cache to make it easier or just archive it entirely and maybe start over.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Edit for more info: Small parking fee which is disclosed. 90% of people who stop at the park are going to the end of the trail to see a waterfall. My stages are placed along the trail and above the waterfall. The whole trail loop can be done in an hour.

I want to be able to filter these out more easily on normal searches, and specifically search for them when I'm in the mood. There should be a category of "A cacher had to find other geocaches (or adventure labs) to succeed with this cache," instead of just lumping them all in with mystery caches.

Since these are not necessarily marked with searchable data, other than the word "Challenge" and "Bonus" in the titles, this change would need to be a manual change on every cache in the category. It could start at the level of Cache Owners, give them a couple months to make data changes on the back end before the icon rolls out. Then it can go to reviewers or volunteers to manually change any that are left over.

Some people would have their mystery cache counts dramatically reduced, so they may not qualify for some challenge caches they have already signed. I think that's just something that the community needs to decide is okay in the name of progress.

Thank you for signing my petition.

I just completed my ninth cross country drive, which has now allowed me to create an unbroken chain of counties cached in that stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic, LA to NY.

If I put up caches in my area, is there any way to prevent them from being premium only? I live in South America and I am 100% certain that most people do not have the spare cash to spend on things like geocaching. There are probably other foreigners like me who might, and maybe the "elite" from Santiago might if they come to my little town to surf, but basically a premium cache would never get seen and would be essentially inaccessible to people who actually live in this town.

Original Title: 5 difficulty? I'm hiding this geocache in a hole in a tree, bark and the stick is the same that's from the tree. Do you think it's a five difficulty? Or lower. I'm heading back to the tree soon to hide the cash. So can show photo of it in its place soon
