stated, it's really just using common sense. Often when one does something
stupid in placing a cache, a fellow cacher will point it out in the log.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The biggest problem
isn’t necessarily with more joining the Geocaching fold, but sheer
ignorance. Common sense would dictate following a defined trail when out
in the hills caching, but there always seems to be those who have this opinion
that they are immune and that going off-trail and trailblazing the presumably
quickest way to the cache, is the best thing to do. A few more after the
first do it, and the next thing you know, a spider trail forms. More and
more traffic starts to take this route as the wear eventually implies that it
is an acceptable trail, altering the landscape for years to come.
Unfortunately, it’s tough to teach common sense for those who appear to lack
it. Most cachers understand the simple logic of staying on the trail and
minimizing impact, but it’s the few who give everyone else a black eye by mere
association. It’s the reason some land managers have a flawed opinion of
cachers, because of that ONE bad experience they’ve had, which forever shapes
their perception of the community as a whole.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
