Tynee said, "In my opinion, yes. You are leaving more than you are taking, and they are items of value. Sounds totally acceptable to me."

Why? Tynee said, "Because, like so many other "discussions" on boards all across the internet, it has devolved into a question of two people's opinions of what trash is. Everybody agrees that its good to take "Obvious Junk" out, so what is junk? Is it just candy wrappers and soda cans? Is it the sawed in half Hitch-pin that I found Sunday afternoon? Is it the little green plastic trinket from the quarter toy machine outside the door of the dollar store? Its a subjective deal, so I'm sorry I asked. Next time, I'll just remove anything I see as trash and not worry about it. Or, I'll leave it for the cache owner, whichever I feel is appropriate."

So, I'd like to run a pocket query on a route that has not been defined as yet. I have created a .mps file of the route in Mapsource. How do I go about translating that to a GPX so I can upload the route? Edit: Never mind, I udpated my Mapsource, and can now Save As a GPX. Thanks for looking anyway.

I am a fairly new cacher trying to figure out the etiquette. We have noticed in a lot of caches that people seem to discard junk. Today we found a CVS loyalty card, a broken trailer hitch pin, plastic bottle caps (not B1G1 or free 20 oz.), and a rusty hair barrette. These are not trade items that anyone including small children would want. If we find things like this, is it OK to remove them and throw them away? Thanks for the help!
