Below is my Declaration of Geocaching. This is my 11th hide for my 11th birthday this month in November. I really enjoy learning about history and of course geocaching too! A special thank you to the residents and owners of the little library for permission to hide this cache.Please be mindful of the homeowner dawn to dusk caching.
DECLARATION OF GEOCACHING
We the Geocachers in the state of Ohio, in order to have exciting adventure and safe hiding and finding of geocaches establish the unoffical declaration of Northeast Ohio Geocaching brought to you in a playful twist courtesy of CSJ Greetings. Rules I reffered to can also be found on https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines: and http://geocaching-containers.com/seven-rules-geocaching/
We will always follow the geocaching guidelines that can be ever changing in order to protect the game and the environment in which we play. With these guidelines we aim to balance the needs and rights of the geocaching community, land managers, and the environment to ensure that geocaching can be enjoyed for years to come.
We will always obey local laws and land management policies. This refers to both the placement of the geocache and the journey required to reach it. Do not place caches in a location that requires or encourages geocachers to trespass or pass markers that prohibit access.
We will leave something of equal or greater value and be fair when taking an item to trade from a cache.
We will be kind and courteous when writing about our finds in the cache logbook.
We will always keep the game safe and not place items such as food, explosives, knives, drugs, or alcohol in a geocache.
We will always keep the game safe and never place geocaches in a location that might cause unnecessary concern. When hiding a cache, we will think of our fellow geocachers. We will not place your cache where there are hazards that will cause someone to worry or be sorry that they took the time to hers
