[Az-Geocaching] The problem is often the RATINGS

[Ford, Denny]

Someone mentioned earlier that during certain times of the year the rating should change, This would be applicable for
the ones in South Mountain,from May on the difficulty plus danger level.  I know that one that requires over a mile hike
when it is over 100 degrees should be in that category.

The under rated ones can be more dangerous than an inconvenience.  If  you plan on bringing a young child while
searching for a cache, if it is rated  say a 2, and after you get there the side of slope is extremely loose, and it
should be a 3.5 or better,  how do you approach it?  Do you turn around and not even try for it?

I have not noticed many cache owners changing the ratings on caches, but they should be adjusted after a few visits for
other people input if need be.  I increased the difficulty on neighborhood park cache, once I realized there were
troubles with the coordinates.

that is my two centavos worth
