+Braun-Wood Cachers Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi- we are a new team and very excited- we found 4 caches in one day- My question is that if the cache is large is it ok to allow the members of the team (there are 5 of us and 3 are kids) mostly the kids are whom i am referring to- to have an item- as long as we return the same amount of items into the cashe- I was so exctited over one that I added 9 items Quote Link to comment

I am new as well, so I am not an authority on this. Perhaps a more experienced cacher could reply. It just make sense to me that as long as the amount of items is the same when you leave as when you arrive, then it shouldn't make any difference. Quote Link to comment
+rnlorna Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Welcome to Geocaching! What fun is in store for you and your family. That you can all share in the adventure is great. Yes, you can all trade as long as you each remember to trade even or trade up. It would be really tough on the kids to only have one choose at each cache. When we first started it was really cool and fun to see what was in the cache and trade, however many caches don't really have great stuff. My husband and I just sign the log now, but our 9 year old daughter can usually find something she wants. Unless it's a micro I leave a beaded bookmark that I make for my signature item. But we hardly ever take anything anymore, unless we see something we just have to have! Have fun caching and welcome to the addiction!

+briansnat Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 As long as you leave the cache as well stocked as it was when you found it, you're good. It becomes an issue with some people iff you trade out 5 nice items and leave 5 pieces of garbage. Quote Link to comment
+Ed & Julie Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The saying is: "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade" (meaning the value of the trade items). That goes for one item if you trade one item, or the whole cache's worth of swag. Take what ya wan't, just leave something of at least the same value. Have fun!!! Ed TB&TB Quote Link to comment
