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"=20
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....
