I know that I am one of the own that do not
maintain my cache. Most because I can not. So if they go bad I am
just letting geocaching .com archive them.
I remember that back when there were not so many
people doing this that when a cache was lacking something the people
finding it would help with the maintain and you would hardly never find a cache
with just junk in it. If by chance the cache was in bad shape I would take
care of what ever it needed... there are just so many cache out there now and so
many find with tn/ln it is sad. Maybe they should be tn/ left a this or
that.
just my 2 cents
We will be known by the tracks we leave behind

I would agree - there are some teams that spend lots of time
maintaining
their caches. There are many that don't. I would think the
answer would
be more self maintained by the finders for those teams that
do not
maintain their caches. I find that many do not post no finds. If we
all
did that, simply by reading the logs, other cachers would know there
might be a problem and not waste the time to go there. I know for my
caches, if there is a no find, I check on it and post a note letting
everyone know that all is ok. So, how do you convince chachers to log
the no finds, post notes, and send e-mails to the owners? It seems that
some think a no find is bad. I think its courtesy to the general caching
community.
