After noticing the new addition to AZGeocaching.com I think that after the last few post that we should as a group come up with something to add to the Ethics....

this would avoid those highly motivated cachers from getting the 3rd degree thus getting maybe a 2nd degree roasting....

this would also give the new cacher an idea of what to expect when a cache is placed....have you ever wondered why a team would place a cache then never be heard of again??or the cacher after finding a few caches???

I know that over my year of caching I have come across a few caches that shouldn't be where they are as they raise to much suspicion, I like the saying "this may be a great spot but not a great spot for a cache"

then what is a reasonable amount of time for a cache to last, should a cache be placed that will only last a few weeks?? Think of the life of the cache now a days it gets placed there is a race for the first find then the rash of the weekend finds then there is a lull then a trickle of visits....

Then I have begun to question the caches that mention security by placing a cache nearby does that really make a good image for our (insert own word Sport hobby addiction.....)

I know that I have had several Ideas for a cache but after doing some of the pre hide work have decided that it was a bad idea as it would negatively impact both the area and cachers....not to mention that even if the cache is more than .12 miles away the area doesn't need another cache....
