FINAL ATTEMPT TO CREATE EARTHCACHES … Feb 2026
Have an awesome reviewer who wants to work together. / HQ will not lift the hiding suspension (permanent). / Enough of their nonsense. Desire to contribute slipping away.
Message to Reviewer…
-Perhaps you would send a follow-up as our final attempt to lift the hiding suspension.
I believe there is a 99.99% probability HQ will stick to their guns consistently aimed at target.
The 0.01% lies in the realm of miracles!
-God Grant Me The Serenity To Accept The Things I Cannot Change …
To let go of something I love doing, especially knowing how much joy it beings to others, is so very challenging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKSwpbsuzP4
Email to HQ… Decision
-I do not understand your decision to permanently suspend my hiding privileges. Please advise.
-REVIEWER
I recently made a mistake and was contacted by a reviewer. I corrected that mistake and we ended up wanting to work together … geoawareUSA9 “As far as working together, I am your guy as far as anything reviewer-related.” I have 589 caches and made only 3 mistakes. Unfortunately, the reviewers contacted you instead of me. I would have immediately corrected my mistakes if given the opportunity.
-CACHERS
Interaction with cachers is indicated by nearly 3000 honest favorite points and hundreds of positive logs. These cachers do not contact you, only the naysayers feel the need to do so. I have also had requests for “more rainbowtree caches”.
Two examples out of hundreds by cachers with thousands of finds … “I got cabin fever so I thought that I’d take advantage of some of the caches that our wonderful host has published that it’s possible for me to do alone as I no longer walk well. ” … “Thanks for the history and for creating this meaningful Earthcache. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into planning your caches.”
-This is my last email trying to make a difference by offering quality caches to the caching community. Also, I will not archive published caches as the reason for doing so is no longer valid. I sincerely hope you will allow me to go forward working in harmony with geoawareUSA9.
SUE LEON … Several Messages
-Oh Elaine! What an incredible job you did on your site. I just glanced through a few of your stories and they were so heartwarming and sad at the same time. I am going to share some of those stories with my youngest granddaughter, Bella, when they come for their next visit in a few months.
-I am glad you were able to set things up the way you wanted and pray that GC HQ will see the benefits to having your EC’s and knowledge out there. Countless hours and even more countless hours that will never be documented for travels, gathering information, researching, creating, battling reviewers until you had something completely amazing. I hope, in my heart, that this works out for you.
-People never quit amazing me with their antics. Still so sorry that what happened to you actually did. So sad.
-I know it feels like someone has kickec you on the ground and keep kicking you just because they have you down. Even though I don’t know you really other than through geocaching, I know in my gut you are a strong person. I’ll just be glad when this can be put behind you, either good outcome or not. I hate the feeling of being pushed in a corner. I don’t understand why people have to be so mean.
