Railfaning and Geocaching

Surprised I hadn't seen this thread before. Not that I've ever posted here but I do read a lot of threads. I've been GeoCaching just over a year. I have five caches in the Cajon Pass dedicated to railfans & geocaching. I SEE TRAINS!, I LOVE TRAINS TOO!, Are We Not Men, Mormon Rocks & Roll, and the Cajon Pass TB Exchange. Four these are at great locations to take train photos in the pass. <br /> <br />For some of you, like anything else in life nothing is fool proof. I'm sure there is a great percentage of railfans that are just idiots or break rules so they can do as they please. Geocaching is no different, but with geocaching if you've done something "iffy" you'll know about it pretty quick by the logs from the people finding your caches. There also is an administration that regulates what can and can't be done. Whackos are everywhere. <br /> <br />I know of at least 4 geocaches blown up by bomb squads and not once were the authorities pissed off, they made light of it almost. I've seen law enforcement become a member just so they could track down a caches owner. I saw one cache picked up by the police for some unknown reason, but some non-cachers but some drugs in it (only time I've ever heard of this) and the police took the cache to the jail, took a photo of it in a cell then emailed the owner asking him to contact them, hilarious! <br /> <br />The problems compared to the number of caches, finds per cache and number of geocachers is so minuscule you couldn't even give it a percentage. <br /> <br />Dave <br />Firehouse16
