    I recently found a geocache stash while hiking in the forest along a historic (and protected) shepherd's trail dating back to the middle ages. It was stuffed into a hole in a large, house sized rock that had fallen off the mountainside. It was a plastic bag within another plastic bag. Inside that was a hard plastic case with various small plastic items like small kids toys and bits of other plastic things like ribbon and it included a piece of paper stating that it was an official geocache.

    Needless to say, I was less than impressed to discover people were willfully putting plastic trash into the natural environment for entertainment. The sun here is very destructive to plastic. Those bags and the plastic case will be falling apart within a year due to UV alone, and small animals had already been nibbling on the bags.

    It kind of looked like people had left whatever small plastic crap they had on hand as an addition to the cache, or the original hider simply thought a bunch of plastic trinket material would be an appropriate addition to the otherwise plastic-free nature. I left it there, but to be honest, it didn't feel right.

    Having never seen a geocache other than this one, I would like to ask, is this normal?

    Can't wait to give it a spin! My first Debian install was Potato, and I haven't used a proprietary OS aside from work-site projects since. Long live Debian!
