Well, if you don't know, then you are likely not one.
A "cacher" is a Geocacher

There is a guy in our neck of the woods that uses the handle "Hoot Owl" I
thought that maybe by some freak coinkidink you might be the same guy.

I have some issues with that caching.....

First off it makes some previously 'unknown' areas now public for all to
come and destroy. (Have seen this recently, not all cachers 'tread
lightly', few do and they have left so much garbage near the hiding
spots that kids out camping are following the garbage trail and are
finding the caches)

Second some of these caches are, well, 'waaayyyy' back into the deep
bush in areas with no cell coverage and the nearest house is over 25
miles away. If one of these fools have a breakdown way back in there or
an accident, they are in 'big' trouble.

The caches are also way back into hunt camp territory where 'we' as
Jeepers have been run out of and threatened on more than one occasion by
armed camps.

These armed drunks get totally incensed at the though of 'their' hunt
camp and it's privately maintained but public all the same trail being
'public' on the internet. Unfortunately they have reason to be pissed!
Their camps 'are' getting vandalized.
