-== Common Sense ==
-* '''ALWAYS research a geohash location and its surrounding areas thoroughly before attempting to access it.'''
-* '''Do not''' attempt to reach coordinates which fall within a dangerous area, are inaccessible, or would require illegal trespass.
-* Please respect the area you are visiting.  Absolutely '''do not''' litter or otherwise disturb the natural integrity of the area.
-* Please be reasonable when meetup locations fall on public property.  Be considerate of non-geohashers who may want to enjoy/use the area as much as you and try not to be in anyone's way.  If someone has to ''ask'' you to move, then you ''need'' to move.
-* If someone approaches you and asks you to leave a geohash location on private property, '''do not''' force the issue and comply forthwith.
-** If this occurs during a [[Saturday meetup]], all attendees should immediately move to the nearest non-disputed area, then agree on an alternative location at which to continue the event.
-** '''Come prepared:''' Have alternative locations in mind before leaving!
-** It may be helpful to have some written materials with you to show suspicious property owners.  For example, you could print out a page with information about geohashing, as well as a map showing the location, and write down a [http://tinyurl.com TinyURL] linking to that day's coordinates.  They may not actually mind your presence and — who knows? — they might even join you.
-** Be aware of your country's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam freedom to roam] laws. Some countries do not have them at all, others allow certain types of uninvited use of private land.
