Further Explanation: Following are examples of how to apply the Creed. These are only examples and not part of the Creed - not every contingency can be spelled out. If something is not specifically listed in the examples, you should consider the intent expressed in the main tenets in making a decision. ...Not Endanger Myself or Others Like any outdoor activity, geocaching involves some inherent risk and many geocachers enjoy manageable risks. Minimize inordinate risks. When creating a cache, describe any hidden dangers and, if possible, arrange the hunt to minimize these dangers. When seeking a cache, know your limitations and be aware of your surroundings. Don't attempt anything beyond your abilities. A cache you own, or one you're trading out of, could be found by children or even a prisoner work crew - consider the location of the cache and those likely to find it when deciding what to leave as a trade item. ...Observe All Laws and Rules of the Area Don’t break the law or rules of an area, or encourage others to do so, when placing or seeking a cache. Don't leave illegal items in a cache. ...Respect Property Rights and Seek Permission Where Appropriate Check if permission is required before placing a cache on private property, and respect the landowner's wishes. Check if public land has a geocaching policy and respect existing policies. Promptly remove your cache if the land manager or steward asks. Do not damage, or interfere with the function of, buildings, structures, or signage. ...Avoid Causing Disruptions or Public Alarm Don’t place a cache near schools or government buildings unless the administration and staff are fully aware of the placement. Use caution where children play. Parents are understandably concerned when strangers are near their children. Don’t place a cache near critical infrastructure that might be considered a terrorist target, or create a cache that could be mistaken for a terrorist device (e.g. a pipe bomb). ...Minimize My and Others' Impact on the Environment Follow Leave No Trace ethics whenever possible. When seeking a cache, practice "Lift, Look, Replace" - put all stones or logs back where you found them. Leave the area as you found it or better (e.g. pick up litter). Obtain the best possible coordinates for your cache to reduce unwarranted wear on the area. Recheck and correct your coordinates if finders report significant errors. Do not abandon a cache. If you stop maintaining a cache, remove the container, archive its listing and explain the disposition of the cache in your archive note, or put it up for adoption or rescue. If you de-list a cache on one host, but keep it on another, make sure you mention this in the archive note to prevent rescues of active caches. ...Be Considerate of Others Treat other geocachers civilly - in the field, in the forums, or wherever your paths may cross. Don't spoil the hunt for others - allow them to experience the cache as its owner intended. Avoid leaving tracks to the cache. Do not disrupt the cache area or mark the hiding spot. Minimize giving unsolicited clues that reveal the cache (i.e. "spoilers"). Don't provide any hints if the cache description asks you not to. In all other cases, be cryptic or encrypt any hints or spoilers you enter in online logs. Edit your log if the cache owner requests that you remove spoilers. Promptly alert the owner of any issues with their cache. Make minor repairs if you can, it will save the owner a trip. Cache owners appreciate feedback - write an online log, send an email, or otherwise let the owner know about your experience with their cache. Only place caches you can maintain and respond promptly to problem reports. If you exchange trade items, trade kindly: Consider what future finders would like and leave something equal to or better than what you take. If you place a traveling item into the game, attach a tag that describes its goal, so that others can help it along. If you pick up a traveling item with a tag describing its goal, move the item toward its goal if possible. Contact the owner if you hold a traveling item for more than a couple of weeks or so. Obtain permission from the originator before copying unique themes and techniques, adding to an existing series of caches, or placing a cache close to another. ...Protect the Integrity of the Game Pieces The owner entrusts you to not damage or jeopardize the cache. Try to ensure the cache is ready for the next finder and is as good as or better than you found it. Make sure the container is properly closed to prevent the contents from getting wet or destroyed. Be inconspicuous in retrieving, signing in, and replacing a cache to avoid vandalism. Put the cache back where you found it and hide it well. Don’t move a cache - if you suspect the cache is not in the intended spot, hide it the best you can and alert the owner as soon as possible. Don’t collect traveling items meant to stay in the game. This is tantamount to stealing. Don’t tamper with or involve a game piece in "alternate" games without the owner’s permission.

The Geocachers' Creed is designed to help orient new players to the ethos of the geocaching community and to guide experienced players in questionable situations, so that everyone can enjoy geocaching! When placing or seeking geocaches, I will: Not endanger myself or others Observe all laws & rules of the area Respect property rights and seek permission where appropriate Avoid causing disruptions or public alarm Minimize my and others' impact on the environment Be considerate of others Protect the integrity of the game pieces

I love this passion.I am going geocaching and loving it and spring cant come soon enough. In my little town we have lots of caches out in the bush and very few close ones. In mountains 2miles either side of us can be quite dangerous and dont recomend that any newbies try the in town challenges that would not endanger themselfs or others.If your area has bad caches hope you can find away to improve them our area rocks. My wife and I have maintained some drop off cache hides and have met some great pepole from coast to coast while looking for other caches. We enjoy this thing of yours. I will try my best to place Quality Caches everytime i find one in my area. if yours has lots and not many great ones try and help make them better if you want or can.I wish everyone happy caching i mean this is a great game and we should all just try and have fun however we play.

Oh O.K. I am a newbie and in need of Caches in this small southern alberta town. I recognized that when i found all the easy ones around us that they where placed from someone from abig city. I placed a few new ones and then i saw 2 new from others with a promise of lots more in the spring.I think hey how can i get more now.I am addicted right i mean if i went for the hard ones in the middle of winter and fell off a mountain. this would be crazzy.I just am trying to create more now.The caches here are not bad at all and are great fun.lets just see what happens i think that most are reasonable and will take time not to saturate the world and if so start putting time limits on them you got to get it befor it is to late cache. NOT...this will invole the passion of the player to play within the already great game rules of the game i love called Geocaching. P.S. I am Addicted. so if you want to try this please do and if not don't.

We are new to "this thing of ours" but we went and stubbled our way out and about to collect only one cache on the very First day of 2010. the 10th aniversary of the first geo cache is this year. what a crazy idea hide and seek eh. Lets all try and make it a great and safe one. I can't wait to see 1 million active caches. cheers

Well i have my first out and it is winter available "Sulpur springs" and is nested in the mouth of a cave and somewhat protected from the snow. I checked on it an was shocked to see snowy foot prints all around and above it. A tree that blocks the veiw really works well and makes some decide to hike above it i mean right above it. so of course i went up and took a look.the L7L are right on top of it and i can tell this has frustrated the some detective skilled geocachers. Snow can make it much easier for one to find it as long as the tracks are not mine...lol
