I agree with Joe. I would rather hunt for the cache with the hints that have already been provided. Besides, using the given hints along with "hidden" hints I think I've uncovered within people's logs, I have a pretty good idea of where it's hidden. Besides, what's the point in claiming a find on a 5-difficulty cache when someone has to point it out to ya.

In case anyone is curious what I think are the "hidden" hints:
Spoiler: [Reveal]
Did you really think I'd divulge that information? All you're getting from me is that it's somewhere on the train......I think.

I was a little surprised the thread was locked as well. Comments on the thread were no worse than her comments on the cache page.

For what it's worth, I checked several of her caches. Seems several of them are missing or need maintenance. If you house is in such disarray, it seems petty to attack someone else's caches. The "dark" side of me is thinking about driving over to Clarksville next weekend to search her caches then raise **ll over every single one that has problem. The mature part of me will probably win out and stop me (by mature part of me, I mean my better half).

Crap on cache pages like that is just unnecessary.

I send an email to Baby75 basically saying that we need to focus on the important things in life and not get so upset over a game. A friend of mine lost her husband to a massive heart attack on Friday morning and another family whom I know well lost their house and belongings in a house fire Friday night. I asked her to consider what is important and to let go of the other things. She responed with the fact that she had served in the military and she has the "right" to voice her opionion. She also forwarded me a message/reply between her and trailhound1 that just really made my heart sad.

I will not give this woman another thought. I will not read her posts. She has no joy in her life and is not afraid to try to take someone elses joy either. I will be taking the "high road" and not allow her negativity spoil a great sport and demean great people.

I encourage all of you to ignore her. Don't stoop to her level because in doing so, we are spoiling our own hearts and feeding the anger she harbors in her heart. she's just trying to bring people down to her level. Dont' let her.

Serving in the military also should have taught her honor for her fellow countryman. Do you think I would have trusted serving with someone who is so skeptical of someone over such a trivial thing?

Formykidz. . . . .BRAVO!!!! You have my heartfelt respect and I would be honored to call you a friend. Your comment and request for everyone to stand tall and not stoop to a lower level by dishonoring ourselves with Baby75's style of play, is spot on. We must take the high road and not allow the negatives one person brings to define us all. From what I can tell geocachers are a pretty hearty bunch who manage to laugh through ALOT. Let's just make this situation another opportunity to laugh and hold our heads high. Once forgotten, she will drift into the neathers and that will be that. To argue and such only continues to give her voice and motive for more comments that will be, as they have been so far, geared to spark an emotional response. It is that time of year for folks to let things go and start fresh. Let's all try to do this aswell. Ok?

God Bless each and everyone of us, and may he watch over us all as we trek through this adventure we call life!

Thanks for getting my back everyone! I also think we should just ignore her.

As for archiving the cache I do not think it will happen now because she claims to be done with the whole thing. But what I have learned form this is that you really do not know what is going to happen in the caching world. On one hand every attempt I made to defend myself got shot down by TPTB on the other hand I got good responses to emails I sent for help on the matter.

That being said I have a really bad taste in my mouth when it comes to hiding caches with GC.com anymore. Ever since the killing of ALRs things have gone down hill. Any time I try to get creative it gets shot down, but chuck a film can on a guard rail and you are in. I think all of the "covering my butt" that GC.com has done has taken a lot of the fun out. I have the first part of sweet cache that has been out for months now but I don't feel like messing with the review process. I guess it is getting an "Out in the elements" test for now. Not to mention the fact that with a pile of hides and hardly a log. I used to get found emails all of the time and enjoyed the fact that others were out enjoying my work. I think the whole thing has died off around here. I will be here when it picks up again though! 8)

I think I am going to post a Should Be Archived log on it. Today I looked for it for the 3rd time and couldn't find it. However I do want to thank everyone that knocked all of the cobwebs off of the train. It definitely is a clean looking train now! :lol:

Section8_ paintball....thanks for your kind words. I try to be friends with everyone so add me to your side :-)
IWC...don't let this ruin your spirit. I wasn't geocaching before the changes so I don't know any better, but if nothing else, this experience shows that for each person who says something negative about you or your caches, there's 10 that stand up in your defence! That's impressive. Not many can say that.

Cyclonic...next time, ask Regnad to go...you hurt his feelings :lol: :lol:

Hope to see all of you at the RVG Birthday party in January :bounce:

The only update I have is that I recently posted a DNF on Baby75's cache in Hoptown. I was after #s so I just did a scan and headed out because of the diff. rating. Anyway I am sure it made her day! :lol:

Oh at least I found a dollar when I got out of the car!

Don't want to stir the pot,,hehehehe But Baby75 was up here in our area today. She couldn't find one of the caches that we adopted about a month ago,,lol
Now when we started caching back in 2008, we went at this cache a few times logging a DNF each time. But when we found our first cache like this one is, This cache will back a person go DUH!!
She not all that good at it or never has found a cache like this either. Some of you that has came in Henderson & hunted may have found this one before, "GC13XY0 Baby You Can Drive My Car" is the cache.
The cache is there as we checked on it just a few weeks ago. I wonder if we should write her a e mail to tell her it's there right about under her nose?? lmaoooooo :lol:
