Yes, indeed that cache is your property. Yes, you may do with it as you please. You and you alone, is in control of your actions. Wrong. Every person has as great a chance as the next person. It is a question of opportunity.

If you choose it impose restrictions and limitations on your caches, then perhaps hiding them is not your forte.

If the intention was not to have one person secure multiple first finds, which seems to be the case, then, perhaps staggering the release of them should have been your direction. Alternatively, not locate them close together. It is quite possible to walk from one to the other, as I did.

Remember, I did not start this. You chose to make an issue of it. You chose to limit and restrict your caches.

Now isn't that a much nicer spot to place the cache? At least it now matches the Hint!

Re-logged the cache as my first attempt was removed. By who I wonder...?

I don't think that ripping logs out of a cache is in the interest of Geocaching.

I'd be glad to know what the thoughts of the Cache Owner are on this as clearly he has no regard.

Kind regards,
Geomatica ~ rampant FTFer and proud of it!

When I left home this morning, this cache was still active & it was still in place at 12:45pm, so I made the find & replaced the cache & am claiming it as a find........ our 605th!
I can understand both sides of the little tiff going one here, but honestly guys, if there is a cache to be found & you are in the area, & have the time, you find them - like I did with both these new caches today.
My tip? Have a chat to each other (in private - keep all the posting of rubbish notes off the cache page), sort out your differences & get out there & enjoy the game..... Oh.... and un-archive the cache. I'm not a fan of Micros, but this one has a good reason to be here.
TFTC
Cheers.

I would prefer if it wasn't archived. It is very close to home and while I may or may not have beaten geomatica to it if I was there (currently in Brisbane for work) was looking forward to finding this and it's sister cache when I get home early next week.

Despite Archer 71 archiving the cache I found it while it was still active as Archer 71 will most certainly know when he picks it up.

Please don't cause a drama over something so trivial people, this is a game after all!

The rules of the game piece are set out by Geocaching.com whilst some minor rules may be included in some types of caches i.e multi's and puzzle/mystery types, traditionals are traditionals and are therefore fair game.

As another keen Sydney FTFer - many is the time Geomatica has frustrated the hell out of me, by beating me to the prize but it all works out in the end and we're still mates.

Back to the cache though, another sneaky hide and a spot more than worthy of a cache hide Thanks so much for bringing me back here.

Please don't start a fuss over a game and certainly don't come to the Nurragingy Christmas Party with grief either as it won't fly!

Since i am being victimised by Carlo aka geomatica.... cache closed.... as will be the next.

Not sure what all the dummy spitting is about ............ !!!! Unfortunately you can ask but you will have very little control over who finds your cache. Seems to be a big fuss over nothing , enjoy the sport and have fun.... I can see your intention to give others a go at the FTF prize but you just need to be QUICK and very lucky !!!! There are certain cachers that have a job where they can easily get out and get the FTF's and the rest of us get the odd one when when we can.
Take a chill pill and let everyone enjoy finding your caches.... because isn't that why you hid them ?
Thanks for the cache... all be it's life was very short!!!!!!
Regards

At the end of the day the cache is MY property , what I do with it is MY choice . Just seems some people cant be fair and give every one a fair go .... your continuing harrasment of me and this cache proves it.

If you think for more than a moment that people would not have figured out that it was a bridge and that the bridge was made out of metal, which would mean that the cache container is more than likely to be magnetic, you seriously must think that we are all silly.

Please... A spoiler? Give me a break.

Nice spot. I've done a few caches in this neck of the woods.

First up. For those that follow, TAKE EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO DROP THE CACHE !!!!!!

The magnet is not that powerful and in the feeling and searching where my eyes could not see, the cache was dislodged and down it went. It is a tight squeeze, and the excuses to the passes by were plenty.

Got it back in the end, signed the log and placed it back.

TFTC and the exercise.

Obviously people dont read , so once again a GENTLE touch is what is needed , and I did ask people to leave FTF for others if they had already found one of the caches I just did........seriously disappointed with geomatia.... Oh and thanks for the spoiler in the very 1st comment...
