  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Geo-Mentoring


  A couple months back, we were tossing around the idea of "Geo-Mentoring": Emailing newcomers who found one of your caches to welcome them into the fold, let them know about azgeocaching.com and the list server, etc. Have any of you done this with your caches? If so, I'd very much like to hear about your experiences with it, even if it's only "I sent out a couple of emails, never heard anything back". But I would like your guesstimate on how many times you've done it, if you're still doing it, and any other information you might care to add.

  I'm trying to collect this information for the land management meeting I'm attending in mid-January. I'm hoping to use what I get from you as an example of how the caching community in Arizona is attempting to promote responsible Geocaching practices. You can either post the information here, or if you prefer email me directly. Thanks.
