7.11. Respond to "throwdowns"
Throwdowns are strongly discouraged
A “throwdown” is a container placed by a geocacher who cannot find the original cache.

Some geocachers place throwdowns so that they can log a find on a cache that they suspect is missing. Geocaches should never be replaced without the permission of the cache owner. This can lead to multiple containers, geocacher confusion, and disputes about whether someone is entitled to log a find or not.

How to handle throwdowns
Cache owners are responsible for maintenance. When you are aware of throwdowns, check if your cache is still there and remove the throwdown cache. Consider disabling the cache until you can remove the throwdown or replace the original cache. If you do not disable the cache, you may want to honor Found it logs for the throwdown. However, the geocacher who placed the throwdown does not have a strong claim to log the cache as found.

Geocache Description:

Sandy beaches Down at The Pines

The Pines is a fantastic little town on the northern coast of Yorke Peninsula. It is so quiet and peaceful in there, and quite well sheltered from the wind - a great advantage down this end of the peninsula. There is a cute little shop and a few nice rest areas. The beach there is a beautiful shallow sandy beach. There is a boat ramp with most boats launched with the help of some sort of old tractor. I could easily sit back, relax and watch life pass me by down at The Pines.

The cashe is in the corner of the carpark at the boatramp and contains a few little goodies that would be good for swapping.

Hope you like The Pines as much as I do.
