Has it happened to you? I made my first hide a couple of years back and am finding that it gets moved and the hide altered from how I placed it. It's still at the right coordinates but placed differently. I'm getting annoyed now because the more current cachers are complaining about how it is placed. I only found out yesterday and will need to correct it again.

Okay, okay. I know this will get some hate, but is there anyone else out there that do not like ALs?

I will give my reasons:

1-They have become too easy! Multiple choice, no need to do any actual work or even walking sometimes. To sit at a rest stop and just tap my phone for a couple hours and get hundreds of finds if NOT my idea of geocaching. (As in big geoarts set up at rest stops)

2- They artificially inflate our find count. Like what did you actually find? Did you open a container and sign a log book? Did you visit a cool location? Etc

3- Each stage is a find. Really? See #2 ☝️

I understand the reasoning behind HQ incorporating them to market to a younger crowd, BUT it not geocaching to me.

I want to hear from people who think the same! Don't try to convince me to actually like them. That ship has sailed.

Today is the 20 year anniversary of our first find. We've use geocaching to improve our health, come closer together as a couple, have fun with family members and reduce stress in life.

To say that I've been on hiatus would be an understatement! I'm now retired, sold pretty much everything I own and paid off my debts. After a divorce, a career lay-off and a bumpy road, I'm traveling the country in my little camper. So I bought myself a new Garmin GPS and am planning to visit some new caches. If you happen to find one of these mini-trolls, that's me! Have a great day.

I remember seeing a similar post here a while back but couldn’t find it, so figured I’d ask again.

When you pick up a trackable, do you usually check what its goal is before placing it somewhere else? I’ve seen a few end up way off from where they’re supposed to go, and it got me wondering how often people actually check.

I remember people here saying that back when Geocaching was a new and very niche hobby the swag was of higher value and quality. Some people complain that when Geocaching became widespread, the quality of many swag declined with trash items being more common. How true is this? Does anyone here remember what the swag used to look like 10 or 20 years ago?

A big pet peeve of mine when it comes to caching: While to cache is taken care of and the owner updates it regulary, the place is absolutely filthy. I hate it when you have to double check if it's the cache or a piece of trash, especially when it's in a field or a forest and out of place. I think for the future I will just keep a trash bag with me. But I also encourage cache owners to make sure you don't have to dig through trash to find a cache.

Edit: and of course, assuming it's cachers littering the place: Please do not???
