Helping out
I try to carry a bunch of replacement logs with me, varying sizes, a few baggies and a rag. It just takes a second to help out fellow cachers and just replacing a wet log helps everybody and usually elicits a "thank you" from the cache owner. I replaced 9 logs last weekend and one today. While cache maintenance is a necessary part of the game I prefer a pro-active approach. After winter caching, a lot of caches seems to end up out in the open and it's also helpful to get them properly hidden again. I found one last weekend that was completely out in the open, probably re-hid when the snow helped the hide but obviously not where the hint said it was supposed to be. Replaced as the cache owner intended and on to the next one!
Had a tick on me Sunday so be aware! Summer is coming!
