Pay to find a cache Welcome to Morocco GC35436

The cache is in the hands of Ahmed, who wants money for his "services" of showing up, pulling the cache out of his pocket and letting one log. New log sheets are supplied by cachers who take the time and money to cross over from Spain and want to a find a cache in Morocco at all cost. When Ahmed is around it is find, when he is not, it is a DNF. Is this what geocaching is supposed to be about? I don't find this fun at all.

Cache owner has not been active since 2011. I think this cache should be archived.

I have been watching this cache for 3 years now, and would love to find a cache in Tanger, but I am not willing to pay to a local who stole the cache and makes money out of it. I find this disgusting and geocachers and Groundspeak should not support this!

The Legend Of Dawsons Mine: The Serialization Of A Fictional Work by Dave DeBaeremaeker

"In a world governed by satellite geolocation technology, and tupperware hidden in the woods, two unsuspecting brothers head off geocaching in the mountains of North Carolina.

What they found was more than they ever imagined. The untold mystery of one of the darkest chapters in Appalachian history.

This secret, however, is not without its guardians.

Will they solve the mystery?  Will they survive the wrath of the guardians?  Will they go to the other side of the road, look behind the guardrail, find the cache, and sign the log?

Will they survive the horror that is The Legend Of Dawson's mine?

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

I had a letter in my name, it was a penalty notice fine for driving in a bus lane! For a time and date I was at work! Mark had decided to take the boys out to grab a few caches. £10 a cache! Hope it was worth it?! :

GGH Tips..

Mr. LANMonkey recommends paddling gloves to save your hands when #geocaching by #kayak. There's plenty of discussion about how gloves help in kayaking (and in cycling) in "GGH 173: Kayaking I" plus many more tips.

From Dave DeBaeremaeker

I went geocaching on the weekend. After a 3 mile hike in the 100f NC heat along the rugged mountain trails, just a quarter mile out from GZ my GPS batteries died.‪#‎ThanksMoanALot‬

From Eric Beale

Just listen to this week's podcast and now I have this Klingon song stuck in my head, I think I will blame moan a lot for this.

Last Week..

We went out last Saturday to do the Repton Ramble and some other Geocaches in the area.  We managed to turn what should have been a 5 mile walk in to a nearly 7 mile walk.  We also made a very early (for us) start on Junes Ey Up Me Duck Challenge.  Two cache types during that day out - a hybrid letterbox and a traditional.

Feedback

From Lucie Melen 

I'm saving the shows up ready for a binge-listen when I do the 3 peaks next week (eeeeeeek!) so I've not listened yet. If I could be really cheeky and mention our fundraising page here - we're aiming to climb Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis in 24 hours in aid of Be Child Cancer Aware - a children's cancer charity close to my heart.

How about a shout out to 'unsanctified' and the rest of the 'West End Geocachers'?

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

Marie Pickard 

He bought a torch, put the batteries in it, moaned (really he did) that it didn't work, waited a week to take it back to the shop, got a new one, put batteries in it, moaned again (hard to believe but true) that it didn't work. I looked at it and got it to work straight away, he was pressing the button, when all he needed to do was slide it! He then realised the first torch wasn't faulty after all! #dumbcacher

GGH Tips..

When shopping for your #geocaching #kayak, remember that flat bottom kayaks are more difficult to maneuver. You want all the control possible when hunting caches in a sea taco, so chose carefully! There's plenty more tips in "GGH 173: Kayaking I."

We can blame Moan-A-Lot for breaking us Geocaching wise.  Ever since the 130 bumper, 20 mile Geocaching day we have had no interest in Geocaching.
