I would name names but one of those would be mine,=20
as of late I have noticed that there has been a very large number of =
caches that have gone missing or plundered... and as has been mentioned  =
as a cacher who not only finds but hides a cache there is more =
responsibility to keep a good image...

Just think if a certain cache was checked on in a timely manner after a =
cacher posting a note, would a concerned volunteer raised such a ruckus? =
as was mentioned items (read trash) was spread around and a cache =
container was easily spotted....

and in the preserve, we as cachers have a very good opportunity to =
remove these caches from the area, (and letting the public know these =
caches have been moved or archived) I think the preserve is considered =
to be now a low human intrusion area, what would happen if a plundered =
cache was found with contents spread about??? or if it was missing and =
other cacher teams go looking and start rock turning??? or branch =
breaking???  who would be responsible??=20


 then if you are unable to properly manage a cache turn it over to =
people who will or archive it, you don't need to move out of state =
either...

In fact I would love to see a land management contact link on the AZ =
site, but I doubt a complete list is available, I know of a couple of =
people that have tried contacting a agency and getting the I have no =
Idea what you are talking about but that same agency has had caches =
removed, there are specific people that need contacted....

then on a related tangent at one cache that I now have responsibility =
over I was shocked by the damage done to the area by the cache, and =
cachers finding,  just like cache in trash out shouldn't we as cachers =
leave an area better than when we arrived, even at a virtual????
