I have finally completed the Power Trail on Redwood Rd, no thanks to the cache thieves. In my first trip, I expressed my thoughts about what was happening here in only one log. Now I would like to provide food for thought to any who are involved in the current bad behavior or who may consider it in the future.

I use the plural, thieves, because given the way the caches disappeared there is likely more than one thief. Of course it is possible that only one person took them in that pattern to cast suspicion on others. The biggest question in my mind is why. One obvious answer is to somehow do damage to the cache owners. Yet, more damage is done to those of us who are trying to get the caches than to the owners. Even though AD0OR and SugarNSpice are the primary owners, caches byGR8GPN and JeepingGurl have also been affected. Cache theft affects a broader range of people than may be initially considered and it shows poor sportsmanship. The act of cache theft is further complicated by those who claim finds on missing caches, another act of poor sportsmanship. (Such people like cheat at solitaire too!) To Peasinapod’s admonishment to the cache thieves to get a life I add, GROW UP! To SugarNSpice, AD0OR, GR8GPN, JeepingGurl, Peasinapod, and all the other cachers who have contributed A LOT of work to keeping this Power Trail alive, I offer a heartfelt THANKS FOR THE FUN!
