[Az-Geocaching] Prescott Daily Courier Geocaching Article

[Brian Casteel]

The biggest problem isn't necessarily with more joining the Geocaching fold,
but sheer ignorance.  Common sense would dictate following a defined trail
when out in the hills caching, but there always seems to be those who have
this opinion that they are immune and that going off-trail and trailblazing
the presumably quickest way to the cache, is the best thing to do.  A few
more after the first do it, and the next thing you know, a spider trail
forms.  More and more traffic starts to take this route as the wear
eventually implies that it is an acceptable trail, altering the landscape
for years to come.  Unfortunately, it's tough to teach common sense for
those who appear to lack it.  Most cachers understand the simple logic of
staying on the trail and minimizing impact, but it's the few who give
everyone else a black eye by mere association.  It's the reason some land
managers have a flawed opinion of cachers, because of that ONE bad
experience they've had, which forever shapes their perception of the
community as a whole.

Maybe it is a wake up call.  As more people get into this hobby the chances
of problems increase.

 

As a newbie I found some of the info very helpful.

This article does not portray Geocaching in a very positive way.
