I personally would not have claimed the FTF without the CO agreement, perhaps he got that and it didn;t make the story edit.

I also would not have placed a new container without the approval of the CO, but I would have added a new log in a plastic bag and notified the CO.

I hope the new hide isn’t a 35mm film container, just what the forest would need, a micro!  lol

great find. ´cause how can you sign a logbook when it has been disintegrated? Then
you spend a new! This is absolutely good geocaching behavior…

It’s not like he didn’t find anything and threw down his own cache to find. He did his research and found something that he was confident was the original cache. Since the original cache had disintegrated he replaced it.

unfortunately all this article is going to do is tell people that every time they  can’t find a cache it is OK to trow down their own container and claim a find, way to go!
