It's great, unexpected news. Nice to know that there's a chance
to find a Locationless cache this year, even if we don't bump
into Signal at a Mega (

o/GC8FR0G).
I wonder whether more Locationless caches created by HQ will
follow in the years ahead.

Decided I would claim this locationless cache on the first day
you could, 6th Feb 21 and make it my 9000th find ;D 8)
The bus shelter near home has been in need of a clean for ages,
in fact it's been bugging me, mentioned it to the Parish Council
who should be looking after it but they weren't interested :o So
I rolled up my sleeves and with some warm soapy water, got to it
;D
Had some one directing me to bits I had missed :D

I think that’s a great, and very unique, idea.
I made the error of adding it to my Watchlist a while ago, so
there were hundreds of logs in my inbox yesterday :o - I
spotted yours :)
Not sure what I’m going to do to claim it yet... but this is the
one cache that I want to find most this year.

I nearly did that but thought of all the messages you would
suddenly get!

I see HQ have locked the cache due to incomplete logs or wrongly
logged not following the cache guidance :o
Will be unlocked Monday morning PST time.
Must admit, I noticed some logs without a picture or just a log
not following the idea of the cache at all. I wondered what they
would do, glad they have taken some action :)

Wow, I didn’t expect them to take that sort of action :o
It’s good that they have though, as it sends the right sort of
message. Hopefully people log it properly from now on.
It’ll be great to eventually look back through the logs to see
all the positive efforts that have been made all over the world.
