The first thing they should check before going to the public with these stories: go to geocaching.com, see if there are any in the area, then check to see if a visit was logged at the time the person was present. Geocachers would act strange, as they don’t want to give away the location to people who don’t play the game.
Thank you Kearnyirish2.
I’ve never heard of geocaching before your post.
How many players put geocaches in hazardous areas, however?
