[Az-Geocaching] Only an altoids tin!!

[noshdoo tsoh]

In fairness to Jared and the rest of the posters on this topic, I have no
familiarity with actually going after urban micros or the seeking issues
that come with these. I don’t doubt these things that have been mentioned to
be true. The 'sneaking around' aspect of some of these caches sounds like no
fun at all to me personally, and I would give up on a cache that appeared to
leading me to that kind of situation. 

 

My point, and ShadowAce has heard my rant more than once, ;-) is that if
others enjoy a certain cache, or cache type, and it’s within the law, then
they should be allowed to play the game their way without being harassed by
cachers who don’t like it. A negative find log when you were mislead about
what you were seeking seems a great way to voice displeasure, but there are
those who’d love to go further. Self-anointed cache cops are always waiting
in the wings. How ‘bout an HOA-type organization to represent us and tell us
about the proper way to cache? It’s been suggested.

Perhaps we all should have a look at this site: The Geocacher's Creed

DWYT is good! 
Here's another that has been used:

>From Prime Suspect's Geo-lexicon.
DPM – Including the letters “DPM” in a cache log was a once-secret way to
indicate the cache was of low quality. DPM is an abbreviation for “des
palourdes mortes", which is French for “the dead clams”. The entire French
phrase is “Les longs sanglots des palourdes mortes blessent mon coeur avec
un languor monotone pendant qu'ils dansent à minuit", which translates to
“The long sobs of the dead clams wound my heart with a monotonous languor as
they dance at midnight”. The idea was to include this phrase in a cache log
to clue in others that the cache was of low quality. Rarely actually used,
as the meaning of DPM quickly spread throughout the geocaching community,
and its secrecy was lost.

Anyone else have any ideas or comments on how we can improve the caches in
our state? Maybe we need a special acronym. Instead of TFTC we could have
DWYT (Don't Waste Your Time). Of course we could always start using this
website to generate log entries for us:

My favorite generated log entry: "This cache was ill-conceived and
ill-received. You should turn your GPS over to the nearest authorities! TNLN
and almost didn't bother signing the log!!"
