I'm going to take a stand. I'm going to defend it. Right or wrong,
I'm going to defend it. – Cameron Frye (1986)
This is my Declaration of Independence…independence from
LPCs. When in the course of Geocaching events it becomes necessary
for a cacher to terminate his search for caches he deems
unchallenging, unrewarding, and totally lacking in any merit of the
spirit of the game. Too many times I have been diverted from fun,
creative hides to strip malls with coordinates leading to muggle
intensive, uninspired locations in order to find “just one
for the numbers” while receiving no fun, no challenge, no
stimulation, and zero enjoyment.
I hold these truths to be self-evident that not all caches are
created equal. While many caches are creative in either their style
of hide, in style of container, or they just take you to an
enjoyable location too many others are simply sub par.
I hereby declare I will cease to hide, knowingly search for,
endorse, or in any other way promote the hiding of LPCs. While
others will continue to hide them this cacher is taking a stand.
Don’t look for my name on your logs.
In celebration of my self-proclaimed liberation I have hidden a
cache along a nice little trail less than 10 minutes from the
recommended parking at 33 5.754 117 10.979. Along your 0.7-mile
round trip walk you will also have an opportunity to visit another
interesting spot and challenging hide. More than likely you will
meet no muggles other than perhaps the occasional dog walker. If it
is a sunny day you will feel the warmth of nature upon your face
and enjoy the sweet aroma of sage. You will hear nothing but the
wind in your ears, the chirping of birds, and the buzzing of
insects.
So I beseech thee, get out of the parking lots and onto the trails
for just a little bit of exercise and whole lot of nature.
Please practice good Geocaching etiquette. Hide the cache well
even if you found it exposed. Remove any debris (leaves, twigs etc)
you find in the cache. If you trade please leave something of equal
or greater value for the next finder. Please do not leave any
religious or political trade items. Geocaching is supposed to be a
light, fun activity, not a platform for an agenda. Do not leave any
food or anything else an animal might sniff out (soap, scented
candles, etc). HAVE FUN!
