RE: [Az-Geocaching] Micro Cache Advice

I do agree that the hunt, finding a cache, and the location are the greatest
rewards - not the contents. I guess I was turned off by this specific
micro-cache not because of the size or contents of the cache, but how "easy"
it was.

The description provided the name of the city park the cache was located in,
but also gave directions similar to: "located at the SouthEast corner of the
tennis courts, hidden in the crack of the large rock at the base of the
spruce tree with I LOVE CONNIE carved in it." And this description wasn't
the encrypted clue. We found the cache without using the GPS.

I was disappointed at how easy it was to find the cache. I like cache hunts
with a little challenge. I'm sure there's plenty of challenging
micro-cache's out there.

There are plenty of people that don't care about the
trading. Thay're after the hunt and the finding and
just want a way to document it.

There are a lot of things you can trade in a micro.
Here's a partial list pulled from the groundspeak
message boards:

dice
lock
stamps
bobber
jewelry
bandaids
trout fly
cuff links
paper money
fishing lure
small key ring
toy paper money
dodecahedron die
watchband compass
small pocket knife
eyeglass repair kit
Photon II Micro Lite
air pump needle valve
coordinates to a cache
key & directions for use
coins (golden dollar, foreign coins, state quarters)
