Cheryl,

I wasn't going to say anything else about this, but because I consider
us friends, I want to answer your comments. And publically, I wish
people to hear it.

I agree, this did somehow become a "battleground" but I certainly
NEVER intended that. My ORIGINAL post about "Oasis", while mentioning
"almost getting shot" was mainly an ongoing comment about signing logs
and a joke to Larry that he didn't sign the log (at least we couldn't
find it).

What happened after that (the next post) I had nothing to do with and
agree it should have been taken private. I feel my comments in the log
and here were not complete (not meant to be, I had no idea it would be
examined so closely) and were picked apart and taken out of context by
someone who is understandably sensitive about his shooting hobby.
(Scott, please, we have settled, I am not trying to start up again.)

I never intended this to get like this; I did want to warn people to
be careful around that cache, as it could have been a problem. How
would everybody have felt if you had heard in the news about a newly
married couple being shot while doing a thing called "geocaching" in
the desert? I'm sure you will agree, knowing how sensible you and Cody
are, that warning of POSSIBLE danger is something that is everybody's
responsibility.

What went from a warning/post/partly joke has now been labelled a
"scandle" (scandal), which is a bit....well, I don't want to get
anybody else defending their turf.

So, I apologize for the terrible, horrid, absolutely awful
"scandal/battleground." It was never intended. But, you can always
UNSUBSCRIBE if you don't like reading different people's
views/opinions. It is a free country.

Peace to you all, Merry Christmas, and I certainly hope this is the
end of this!!

Thanks
Trisha
