Some of my personal caching goals are (in no particular order):<br>
<br>
1.&nbsp; Have fun caching with friends<br>
2.&nbsp; Have fun caching with family<br>
3.&nbsp; Have fun caching with Cheyenne, T.A.G.D.<br>
4.&nbsp; Don&#39;t get hurt&nbsp; (this includes broken bones, gouged
eyeballs, massive contusions and/or severe blood loss, but _excludes_
piercings by cactus spines, blisters, minor scrapes, cuts and bruises.)<br>
5.&nbsp; Find a minimum of 8 caches each day I go caching. This is to
maintain or improve my average of 7.7 finds per day (of days gone
caching.)<br>
6.&nbsp; Lately, I try to avoid urban caches and lean toward the more rural and remote caches.<br>
7.&nbsp; Never search for a small or micro cache for more than 15 minutes.<br>
8.&nbsp; Log ALL of my DNF&#39;s!<br>
9.&nbsp; Don&#39;t obsess about the caches I didn&#39;t find.&nbsp; There are
plenty of caches out there to look for. I don&#39;t need to spend hours
scouring some back alley for a cache smaller than my thumbnail.<br>
10.&nbsp; Introduce myself and be friendly to any new cachers I meet in the field.<br>
11.&nbsp; Co-host the best possible (but never the biggest) campout cache event that we can, with the resources we have.<br>
12. When caching solo, try not to put myself in any dangerous
situations that could result in serious damage to my vehicle or serious
injury or death to myself (or both.)<br>
13.&nbsp; Always maintain a sense of humor.<br>
14.&nbsp; Have the letter &quot;M&quot; stricken from the alphabet.<br>
