Have you placed any caches?

These are locations, typically with a scenic view or historic location, that the cache owner wants to share. There is no physical cache or in many cases even a book to sign. To claim the cache, you go to the location, figure out what is important there and take a picture of it. You then either send the photo to the cache owner or post it on the message board. I've only done one of these virtuals so far, but it was interesting to try to figure out exactly what the cache owner wanted me to photograph. I had a choice between the historic marker or the canal beside it. Eventually I settled on taking pictures of both.

It was so wet and cool here this summer that we did not get out caching often this season. There are several Hawaii cache we are still looking for especially the ones which state they are not at the location listed. We were interviewed by a fellow Michigan resident Darryl Wattenberg from Cache-a-manics podcast show # 112 http://cacheamaniacs.com/index.php?post_id=426162. You can listen to the replay online.

There are a great number of caches available with new ones released every week. Some have taken us quite a bit of time and effort to find, and others have just seemed to be obvious. We have visited several in cemeteries and I think those are the most fun, although sometimes the ones that you can almost snatch from your car are pretty good too. Here in Michigan, it is common for the owner of the cache to leave lottery tickets for the first person to find the cache. As you can imagine, new caches don't remain unfound for very long.

Many have improved functionality and accuracy. There is even an application for IPhone users. Our caching name is "Diamond Head". Check out some of the new GPS receivers out there now!
