Hey everyone, I'm in Charlotte and Blowing Rock, NC - I am in the process of making some really awesome caches to give back a bit to this AWESOME hobby. I plan on putting half in Charlotte, and half in Blowing Rock and I'm almost done with them. There are some more pictures of the progress here, along with some other caches I'm making too: http://kevincook.net/Hobbies/Geocaching/index.html I'm still fairly new to this, so I have a few questions: 1. When hiding your caches, do you (personally) go for it, and fill them with everything you have, or a subset of that, and save some for replenishing later? 2. Since there is a lot of high value stuff in these caches, I was thinking of making them members only caches, that were multi-part, so you really had to work a bit to find them. Thoughts? 3. Anyone know any locations in Blowing Rock or Charlotte that are just dying for a good cache? I've got a few good places in mind, but I'm sure you all have some good places too! Let me know.

I'm new so maybe this has been thought of before, but for the problem of people logging a find when they really did not find it, why don't we simply assign a serial number to a cache when you register it, and that number would be printed on the cache. You have to enter the serial number when logging it to get credit / prove the find.
