Long Ridge Vista Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

CKayaks: Out pulling caches. Archiving everything in my inventory as time allows. Too many hassles and too much whining from cachers. Verbal abuse in email and logs. Finds logged when they did not visit and sign. People celebrating the king of fake logs with events! And GS not providing any support when the CO tries to enforce the quality of his caches. Done.

My suggestions for anyone that has concerns with this approach:
* Help clean up the game by raising your concerns with Groundspeak. Let them know that bad behavior by players, cheating, allowing false finds, and such has degraded the game.
* Do the same with the cachers involved. Politely hold them accountable. Publicly, in some cases, if need be.

Cache was nestled safely in the location and container it has been in since 2006. Now removed. Given the current style of caching, I am guessing folks DNF them if they have to spend more than 30 seconds looking. Pokemon this is not.

Geocache Description:

Smallish cache, camo'd, just off a small use trail in the Long Ridge OSP.

NOTE: "Use trail" does not mean the main trail. Think deer trail. Outside the drip line of the tree.


Located right next to a small use trail that loops off of the main Hickory Oaks Trail. No need to even step off the use trail.

On my way back from a loop through the Open Space Preserve and stopped here for a rest. The day had started misty and wet, but the sun was breaking through. The wisps of clouds coming up through the canyons below, patches of blue sky, the open vistas. A peaceful place.

The cache may take some work to locate. The signal was not the best when I dropped it and it is camo'd. Give it a shot, but the hint should help narrow the search.
