Welcome to Toads & Roads .


This is my blog. Here I will try to maintain a sense of humor and fairness. It might not always be possible but I will try, I really will.
Sometimes I may be sarcastic. That is what it is. Not asking you to like it or appreciate it but know that I will sometimes say exactly what I think.
Your choice to read, agree or disagree.

When I keep quiet and walk away, don't think you've won. I walked away because you weren't worth my time.


Please feel free to comment... I don't bite and welcome the interaction

When a Hint isn't a Hint

When a hint isn't a hint.

Groundspeak lists hints as "A hint is meant to be decrypted at the cache site, after a search has failed and a further clue is needed. It should give additional information about the cache or its location"
So how many of us get upset when we see..."not now" maybe later"?
There is a lot of chatter on the forums and elsewhere about this subject.
For me a hint is a statement conveying information in an indirect fashion; a clue.
Yes as a newbie I have put stupid hints but I hope that I  have fixed them to better reflect  the need.
Because I live and cache in the great outdoors, I do not want to see an area getting thoroughly thrashed. I don't want to see moss pulled off of stumps and trees. I do not want to see our fragile ecosystem destroyed in the name of geocaching. I do not want to see our game banned.
