      Would it be possible to nominate caches that have a MINIMUM of 6 monthes published, and a MINIMUM of, say 20 finds, before it can be nominated?
      Or is it better to get cachers seeking it before it’s muggled?

      (Just food for thought).

          Saw this bumper sticker awhile ago. Maybe it applies more in this day and economy!

                We remember that flower garden, and also that the coordinates were about 24 feet INTO the garden from where the container actually was. I remember telling my cache partner for the day, “We’ll here about this one in a bad way by days end!” That’s what happens when 350 cachers descend upon an area in a few hours. Wonder what will happen with 800?

                Not bashing the Event. Just hope there are no caches in sensitive areas, with this many cachers around!

                As far as trading even on trackables, that’s easy! NO!

                Most trackables have a mission. If we can help it on it’s mission, we move it. If not, we discover it. The mission might be a location for a picture, or a destination. Trackables were meant to MOVE, which is entirely different than swag trading. We also tend to put trackables in caches that other cachers will enjoy, other than in a lamp skirt. However, we will NOT take ALL the trackables from an Exchange point, unless there is only one trackable, and we can help it to it’s goal.

                Trackables are not swag…they are trackables! Educating new cachers on the difference between the two would help.

                        My son, and caching partner, jjcool719, is a “numbers” person, just because his cache time is limited, and he sets numbers goals for himself.
                        If he caches with me, he rarely hits his daily goal, because I’m pointing out other things to experience while in the area.
                        But if he wants to go out and find 50 caches in a day, he will still have some great experiences to share over the phone!

                        ‘Numbers’ ARE a reason to cache. For some cachers, it might be THE reason to cache.
                        A few other reasons to cache are:
                        exercise,
                        hobby,
                        geology (EC),
                        scenic views,
                        social events,
                        CITO,
                        family bonding,
                        ‘quick cache’ for lunch,
                        (feel free to add to this list).

                        There probably won’t be a thread questioning these ‘reasons to cache’.

                        Doing a ‘numbers’ day is good practice for the West Bend Cash Bash, when a cacher receives 1 raffle ticket for each cache found.

                        ‘Numbers’ are only 1 way to “play the game”. And as it has been said in past threads, this is a game where the player can set some of their own standards and goals.

                        (If memory serves correct, I think we saw half of the T&B cache couple RUNNING to see how fast they could get the caches at last years WBCB! Was that a numbers or exercise goal? 😆 ).

                        Bottom line…numbers are as good a reason to cache as any other!

                            Those deep, dry ravines in the Central Sands of Wisconsin sure are an amazing sight! Who’d a thunk?
