Hello, fellow geocachers. My name is Griffin Davis, and my mom and I run a geocaching YouTube channel called "The Sauk County Cachers". We have found many, many caches in the beautiful states of Iowa, and Wisconsin. We also are hiders, and at the time of writing, we have placed 51 geocaches in Wisconsin, and will be placing many more, but there is a BIG issue that needs to be addressed, but first we need to talk about how this problem started.

Geocaching is a hobby where you use GPS devices to find containers in the woods, in the city, and many more spots! Geocaching can be easy or hard, and big or small! Many geocaches are easy and are small, while some geocaches require intense, long hikes for big ammo cans or massive tupperwares.

In 2000, GPS devices were just then available to the public, and Oregon resident Dave Ulmer decided to make a fun game with GPS devices, where you use coordinates to find containers in the woods. The first geocache was placed May 3rd, 2000, one day after Selective Availablity for GPS systems was turned off. 

The geocache (first called a GPS-stash) contained DeLorme mapping software, VHS tapes, a slingshot, a logbook, and a can of black beans. Back then, GPS devices were rather shaky, usually having 100-200ft accuracy, and since geocaches could be placed anywhere before late 2001, some geocaches are VERY close to each other. One instance is a geocache is only 350ft from one in the US.  and the first geocache has one only 75 feet from it!

People should be able to place caches close to each other. My proposed distance for caches should be 150ft. GPS devices are way better now, and people would be able to feel way more comfortable doing Spirit Quests and Multi-Cache stages.

If you agree, please sign.

 There are many spots that could be used, but the outdated rule messes with what could be legendary caches.

We want 1500 signatures for this petition.
