If I hide a cache when I get my 200th find (which I was planning to anyway), I will have exactly that ratio (10 hidden with 200 finds). Frieza -----Original Message----- From: trisha@brasher.com To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Support of Geocaching My personal opinion is that a ratio of something around 1/20 (less if you get into higher find numbers, for practical reasons) seems about right to keep the sport fresh and going. 5 hides for 100 finds is not unreasonable, nor is it difficult. This is just my impression, I am sure there are many other opinions. However, the obvious fact is (and I repeat myself and others), if nobody hid any caches, there would be none to find. So, put the excuses the closet and get out and hide a couple new ones, if you are in that "bad cache karma" category!
