Hello,
Long time forum reader, first time participant. I felt the need to comment on this one, because I love the idea of a long hike cache. I'm not what you would call an avid cacher - I only have 61 finds, and I go months at a time without searching for a cache. For me, caching is more of a thing that I do when I have a free weekend and I just want to go outside. When I first started caching, I thought I would be one of those people with thousands of finds, but then I quickly discovered that most of the caches in my area are completely uninteresting and not worth the time. Boring caches are the reason why I only have 61 finds after about two years of being a cacher. I want to be taken somewhere interesting when I go geocaching! I don't care if I spend an entire day looking for just one cache. I no longer care how many finds I have, and I don't care if a cache contains swag or not. Most of the caches I find are filled with junk anyway. I do not like park & grabs, and I do not care if I never get a FTF. I guess I'm an outdoorsy hiker who uses geocaching to find great new hikes. Don't get me wrong - I do enjoy geocaching. I do enjoy finding hidden things, especially ones in clever containers or hiding places. It would be nice if there were more caches like yours for casual cashers/hiking enthusiasts like me. I like multi caches because then I get to find several things on one hiking trip. So, maybe caching has changed. I'll never be one of the cool cachers, but I'm perfectly content with being out-of-date.
