Current Goal

This Shark is looking for Lonely Caches. What makes a Lonely Cache you might ask? Quite simple really, one that very infrequently gets visited. This can be because it is in a very remote location, or involves a difficult puzzle to solve, or maybe a great challenge. You can check a cache's Lonely Cache status at the website www.lonelycache.com. Enter in a cache name or code and you can see how it ranks. Any cache worth over 25 CPs is pretty lonely, and ones over 100 are remarkably lonely. I will be keeping a tally of the CPs that this TB earns in his travels. Hopefully, you find this shark in a very lonely cache, and are the kind of geocacher that likes these kind of caches. Please take it with you to your next lonely destination. Since the Lonely Cache Project is limited to the Southwest United States (AZ, NM, CO, UT, NV), please keep its travels to these states.

I would ask that this TB NOT be placed in park and grabs, TB hotels etc... It is NOT the goal of the shark to travel to as many places as possible. This means that it will likely lay dormant in lonely caches for much of its life. But when it does move, no doubt it will move to another spectacular location. If you stumble upon this shark in a commom and frequented cache, please make an effort to get it to a lonely cache, or in an area where it is likely to get moved to one.

Thanks!

Will swim to a new lonely location.

This cache is proving to be quite lonely so it seemed like a good place.

Finally found a good and lonely cache to leave this TB in. Rattlesnake ridge, a 5/5 multi has seen only 4 visitors in 2 years. Currently it has 68 CPs. I imagine this TB will be a long time before the next visitor.

30 CPs on our recent visit. I had originally found this cache a year ago. Lonely that it is, it hasn't been logged since then.

27 CPs. First time I've found a Lonely Earthcache. Surprising that it only has 10 finds in 3 years, since the nearby traditional cache gets almost twice as many. Guess not as many people go for the Earthcache types.

33 CPs. Nice remote puzzle cache that's seen only 3 finds in the year that it was placed.

Visited 2/2/2013 Fugads took it to Bike Hike Cache - SVT North New Mexico - 15.67 miles  Visit Log

44 CPs, an awesome 12.5 mile trail run multi cache. Cache was big enough to leave the TB in it, but I decided to hang onto it a little while longer.

67 CPs... this cache is too small to leave the bug, just a D5 micro that rarely gets people even attempting it.
