First lesson taught in law school: You can always sue. The real question is can you win, and if you win can you collect? Personally, I am more concerned about seeking a cache that has been placed in a bad location (e.g. clearly on private property w/o permission) than I am about my cache placement. I think being clear about potential dangers in the description is helpful, but I don't think that any warning or disclaimer will insulate you from liability. You just have to ask whether the potential liability is too great to continue geocaching. I think I risk much greater liability driving across town than I do geocaching. That said, DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on the internet. I am not licensed to give legal advice. I merely offer my lay opinion and my own considerations regarding geocaching.

Typical newbie--asking an already answered question. I did search before posting--apparently I didn't do a very good job of it! Anyway, thanks for the re-direct, it was very educational. I had no idea that meth could be cooked outdoors. I will now be much more careful about letting the kiddos get ahead of me.

While we were caching in a wooded area today, I was thinking to myself, "Wow, what a great place to hide a body!" Which got me thinking that someone always has to find the body hidden in a wooded area. It doesn't seem a huge stretch that a fellow cacher might have stumbled upon a weapon or other evidence of a crime while hacking his way through the woods. So have any cachers had such an experience? Seems to happen to joggers all the time.
