When we first started hiding caches I gave this a lot of thought. I
decided that there was always going to be a certain percentages of caches
that were going to be plundered in some manner. Because of that I decided
that it was much more important to find a great place for a cache instead
of spending a lot of time or money on the physical cache itself. The only
thing that I am upset about if one of my caches disappears is the log book,
nothing else has any real value.
As an example, there is a cache out in Red Rock Canyon near Vegas that is a
pringles can. It is a very cheap cache container, and the mere fact that
it is a pringles can helps you in retrieving and replacing the cache
without attracting any undue notice.
