Today marks the end of my first year of caching! What a fun year it has been. I have found over 1350+ caches. Cached in 9 different countries and 16 different states. I have climbed trees, crawled through pipes, kayaked a city lake, climbed through a coastal cave and met many cool people along the way. And while I love the thrill of finding a cache, I have to say I have kinda gotten addicted to hiding them.
This cache will be my 101st cache hidden, with well over 2000 find logs on those caches. I love seeing a cache get published and waiting for the FTF log go rolling in. What started with a couple puzzle caches, then a couple tree climbs, then a whole bunch of field puzzles and then finally a ridiculous amount of little wood boxes, ends with this puzzle cache and climb. (Yeah, I really like climbing.) So what are my favorite caches I have hidden? Well here is my personal top 10:
1.Ants, Trees, & Spiders, OH MY!
2. The first in the ASoIaF series and a cool climb with loose rocks in DC.
3. A Big Box of Color that is challenging.
4. A puzzle I made with my nephews and placed in Ohio.
5. This ASoIaF cache is my only letterbox cache.
6. This Bear of a cache was my 2nd hide in the East Bay.
7. This colorful invertebrate in McLaren is my favorite of the field puzzles in the park.
8. A Phishy puzzle near devil’s slide.
9. A Small Cat but big climb.
10.My first traditional tree climbing cache.
And of course it would be no fun in hiding caches if you all didn't go out there and find them. Thanks to everyone who has looked for one of my caches. Hope you have had as much fun looking for them, as I have had in hiding them. And a HUGE thanks to those who are seeking my caches out. Here is a list of the top 20 finders of my hides:
SORRY THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO GROUNDSPEAK RULES
You all know who you are.
A big thanks to all those who have hidden caches I have found and to those who have found a cache I have hidden. I have some new ideas for hides in the works so I think year 2 should be a lot of fun!
