RanHefner: It is with deep regret and disappointment that I must archive "Size Does Matter". Regret that many of the geocaching community had to be subjected to the lewd behavior of SOME who frequent this beautiful little park. Dissappointment in the local authorities of Gastonia for not RECLAIMING the park for the children, families, and normal people wanting to enjoy the outdoors in a healthy way.
I never knew of the SICK activities going on in Rankin park when I placed the cache. After I placed it there, I started hearing of WIERD behavior going on in there. Then later, I heard from a law enforcement officer exactly what was going on there. I had faith that the local authorities would take action and return this park to the wholesomeness in which it was created. My faith was ill placed as the authorities in Gastonia appearantly CONDONE this activity or at least wish to confine it in an "off-the-beaten-path" location. You know...Out of sight, out of mind!
If Gastonia is going to surrender this wonderful park to the trash of the world, they should just close the park and bull-doze it over rather than subject the families and children to such activities.
Anyway, I apologize to all the cachers that were subjected to the "scum of the earth" while hunting for my caches. If I knew of this before, I would have never placed it there.
I will not be replacing any caches in this park. I recommend that no one else place on there, either. To the other caches placed there and the owners of those caches, I offer no advice. I just say, think about it!
