If you don't consent to this lewd public behavior, then yes you should post a note. The phrase "consenting adults" cuts both ways: the majority of adults in our society have never consented to permitting carnal acts in broad daylight on our streets and in our parks.
We ought not to tolerate our public parks degrading into open-air bath-houses. To those who don't seem disturbed by this: Would you remove pornography or drug paraphernalia from a cache, or pass it off with a live-and-let-live shrug? *shrug* If I mind my business while I seek the cache, and they mind their business while they are seeking. I'll have to see if I can remember which one it was and post here.īut, if there were no incidents of inappropriate behavior, I don't see any harm in placing or seeking a cache in an area where gay folks gather. I even included a link to the news articles in the cache log, however I'm not sure if the person that placed the cache left the logs on the page or not. I am not asking this quesiton to debate this particular behavior but asking if the knowledge of this behavior in a cache area would prompt you to post a note to a cache or email the cache owner to see if they are aware of your findings?Īctually, I posted a note on the page of a local geocache when I'd seen (on two different news channels) that there were several arrests in that particular park for male-on-male public booty calls. I also talked to a friend who grew up near the park and was told this particular park was the subject of several sting operations to try and stop this behavior.
Having read some geocaching forum articles about similiar rest stop behavior, we came home and did an internet search on this topic and found this particular park listed on several sites. We also noticed several spray painted signs with not so kind remarks about this behavior. Along the trails to the cache area we passed several men dressed quite well for hiking in a park and reaking of cologne. The parking lot had 5-6 cars all backed into spots with a man sitting in each car by himself. My question stems from looking for a cache that turned out to be in a park known for gay cruising but not by us until after we noticed some strange behavior in the parking lot and along the trail. Would you post a note on a cache about it being located in a published gay cruising area?
