But of course, you will get the people who say "Oh, let the cache =
continue for as long as it can, until the ammo can turns to dust, if =
necessary". That's good thinking, leave it out there so only 1 person a =
year can go find it.
To that 1 person, it could be a very special find, and just the type =
that they want to seek out. Why should all caches be simple urban =
micros, or hikes of .25-miles or less? Rural caches are visited less =
frequently for the very location they've been hidden....RURAL areas. In =
Wyoming there were a series of caches I never got the chance to visit =
because I didn't have access to a 4x4 that got decent mileage (meaning =
more than the 6mpg this old Blazer was getting). These caches had one =
visit each in over a year. Why? Because they're remote and somewhat =
difficult to get to, but the area was absolutely beautiful from pictures =
I've seen. I hardly feel those should be archived due to lack of =
visits, and if I'm up there next summer, I'll make the 100 mile drive =
just for those 6 caches. There's a double 300-foot waterfall just up =
the way from one of them, and I'd have never known that if it wasn't for =
these caches I looked up.
Geocaching has something for everyone, and part of that everyone are =
cachers who shun urban Altoids acid containers in favor of those long, =
difficult hikes that are rarely visited. A cache I'm looking at placing =
soon will probably go at least 2-3 months without a find because it's =
going to be extremely remote, but following a pretty cool theme.
