Risks Of Geocache On Private Property

[Historynuts]

Thinking of placing a cache on our private yard property. Could anyone share pros/cons of this and experience with it? The concern is someone coming on property and getting injured. What could the ramifications be?

Thanks!

Well, the state statutes protect those who give permission for recreational activities on their property, but someone can sue you regardless.

DeeJay hit it spot on, but to expand on that a little…
If someone is injured on your property due to your negligence, you will most likely be liable. For example, if they fall off your front porch because they are klutzy, you’re probably ok. If they fall off because the hand rail broke, probably not ok.

Just have liability on your homeowners insurance and you’ll be covered in such an event.
