Ran this poll on CacheWalker's Twitter:
So, you can now bury caches (w/ permission), as per the updated Geocaching guidelines. Good idea or bad idea?
Good - glad it's now allowed -- 36%
Bad - shouldn't be allowed -- 64%
There were 25 votes, so fairly representative.
Some comments:
@StartPlayer: "Awful idea, people will try digging when they don't need to and damage area cache is hidden. Never burried is a key thing for me."
@Flapjack_Jules: "I think the idea is that caches can be sunk in a hole in the ground (& eg covered with a stone), not that you actually have to dig for them.
I personally agree with the first comment - GS haven't thought this through, the environment could well be damaged. Even if they're sunk in a hole, it still needs to be dug...
