[Az-Geocaching] Finding Own Cache???

[Trisha Radley]

To add my opinion.....

Logically, I don't think it is fair to log a "find" on a cache that you hid,
since you already know where it is. It is therefore, not a "find". Think
about it....you don't need the GPS coordinates or clues to "find it", since
you know exactly where you put it! This defeats the spirit and maybe the
rules of the geo-caching hobby. Maintenance visits or updates (like I did on
my "Spruce" cache) should be logged as "notes".

I will repeat the logic and see what other's opinions are: You can't
legitimately "find" something if you hid it and already know where it is.
