<DIV>Looks like taking the fun out of caching is on the way. Too many
rules have killed many an organization and put bad tastes in the mouths of the
members.</DIV>

guidelines.</B> </LI></OL>
<DIV class=quotetop>QUOTE</DIV>Geocaches can be logged online as Found once
the physical log has been signed.<BR><BR>If it is appropriate for your cache
location or theme, you may ask the cache seeker to accomplish an optional and
simple task, either close to the cache site (normally within 0.1 miles or 161
meters) or when writing their online log. For example, wear the goofy hat
inside the cache container and upload a photograph. Cache finders can choose
whether or not to attempt or accomplish optional tasks. Cache owners may not
delete the cache seeker's log based solely on optional tasks.<BR><BR>This
guideline change applies immediately to all logs written from April 4, 2009
and going forward. Older caches with "additional logging requirements" (ALRs)
are not grandfathered under the older guideline. If you own an existing cache
with mandatory additional logging requirements, we request that you:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>Cease deleting logs based on additional logging requirements.
<LI>Review your own cache listing to see if the ALR can be made into an
optional and simple task, or whether it must be removed altogether.
<LI>Adjust your geocache listing by editing the text then contact a reviewer
to change the cache type, if
appropriate.</LI></UL><BR>____________________________________________________________<BR>Az-Geocaching
