Etiquette is defined as “the customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group.” But what does that mean in terms or geocaching? Maybe you’re new to the game or maybe you’re a seasoned geocacher with thousands of finds under your belt. No matter what your find count is, we all need to follow some basic etiquette to help making geocaching fun for everyone. Join me as I talk with Chris of the Northwest, one of the host of Caching the Northwest, as we discuss geocaching etiquette from finding and hiding to trackables and SWAG.
