Speaking of signature items... Someone said "who said signature items aren't tradeable" and here's my question: is it kosher to pick up a signature item (by trading for it), hang onto it for a while, then put it in another cache? It seems that a signature item is supposed to signify that a certain person visited a certain cache. So if their item gets put into a cache without their having visited, that doesn't seem quite right. Or am I misunderstanding signature items? Is the purpose only to trade your own signature item for one you think is neat, then keep it forever? thanks, Team EBBJr.

Thanks for all the quick responses! I'll try to post the article. Our paper has a website but not all articles make it. If nothing else, I'll put it on my own personal website and post that. I'd never seen the Geocacher's creed! That's exactly the type thing I wanted. I thought that might be in the faq, but I didn't see anything like it. Thanks again and if anyone has any additional answers, I'd love to hear them. Kimberly

Hi all, I'm a first-time poster, so forgive me if I don't do something quite right. I'm in the process of writing an article about geocaching for my local newspaper. I thought it'd make an interesting topic and it's probably something that some people would love to do, if they only knew about it. I wanted to have a paragraph or two about geocaching etiquette. Something along the lines of what great people most geocachers are, respectful of the land, etc. So far I've said that bushwhacking through delicate undergrowth is discouraged and that many of us practice cache in, trash out. What else can y'all think of? Thanks in advance! Kimberly (part of the EBBJr team)
