There have been a lucky few who have used geocaches to propose to their significant other!<\/p>\n<p>With Valentine\u2019s Day coming up in many countries, it\u2019s time to think about how to show your love as geocache owner. Start with visiting your cache and follow our simple checklist to make sure geocachers can find and enjoy your cache for years to come!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Check if your geocache is there<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There are many factors that can affect your geocache, from muggles to animals, make sure your geocache is still hidden in the intended location. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Inspect your container<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Have the elements been hard on your cache container? If so, consider replacing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Review your hint<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Does it still make sense? Sometimes weather or other forces change the geocache surroundings. Make sure you are still leading people in the right direction!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Assess the logbook<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Check to see if your logbook is still in good condition and has plenty of space for future geocachers. No one likes a full wet logbook!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check for trackables<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your geocache has trackables, do a quick inventory. Mark trackables as missing if they are listed in the inventory but no longer are in the cache.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is an issue with your cache that cannot be immediately fixed, please temporarily disable the cache listing, so that people do not search for it, and fix the issue as soon as possible. Although cache maintenance is the cache owner\u2019s responsibility, courteous geocachers often help, which helps increase the quality of the game for all! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you show your geocaching love?
