Hightech hobby sets off security turmoil
Geocache mistaken for a pipe bomb
From here, quote:
One particular cache hidden next to Hill Air Force Base caused a bomb scare when someone found the red toolbox cache beneath a bridge.
From Megalithic Portal, quote:
Submit details of locations near you, or where you travel to. Take their photo. Research more about them. It's a lot of fun tracking these things down. Have a purpose to your walks or adventures. Instead of going after a plastic box full of junk (geocache) how about doing something positive to help our environment.
From BBC Cumbria Website, quote:(I also particularly like the "bring a spade" comment... )
The article says Geocaches should not be placed in an historic, archaeological or environmentally sensitive area, yet also says there is a cache at Long Meg. Why does this rule exist, and is Long Meg an explainable exception, or do Geocachers ignore their own rules?
From Megalithic Portal again, quote:
Archaeologists had to climb 45 minutes twice a day to excavate a Bronze Age burial mound on the highest point in Carmarthenshire. It was being taken apart by walkers building a cairn around a “geocache’ box.
