Here's a shameless plug for 3 very under-used caches - they are not as hard as they look, and all are in scenic areas! Ron Jeremy's Terrain Cache http://coord.info/GCJ80E Ron Jeremy's Picture Cache http://coord.info/GCJ88D Ron Jeremy's Scenic Drive Cache http://coord.info/GCJJVK Other favourites are: GC1Z2AX See der Deck? GC1J89X Little Jack Horner GC15EMV Rose Red GC2A59F Yes Virginia there really is a Geocache. GC1F9TK between a rock and a hard place GC14J9 Lil' Mama's City Hall Sculpture Tour GC16NAJ The Vortex GC1HPN8 Bella's Haunted House GC29MHB Thems the Brakes GC1D1NZ Murder on the EY&P Express GCYAGN The wheels on the bus GC1G18V Muchias- The Friendly Dwarf

They probably disappear at about the same rate everywhere. Eventually most seem to end up missing. Some are kept by newbies that leave the game, some get lost, for some the cache they are in gets muggled, and some folks just decide to keep them. I suspect that almost all tbs eventually go missing but many last several years before that happens and some even reach a destination and get retired. Happy to see that you are concerned about them. It will be fun having you guys in this game. I thought it was only Edmonton... good to know.

Edmonton, Alberta has a cacher too who only leaves a dot. Why even bother to log then?? It annoys me.

Hang in there, it's worth it! After 70 caches, I still have streaks of no-finds. It happens. Try other caches and come back with a new confidence. Also, summer vegetation can make caches much harder that are dead easy in March or October!

Try GC1GE87 Oriental Bay, Texas (Wellington) Size: Size: Regular (Regular); Difficulty: 1.5 out of 5; Terrain: 3 out of 5 S 41° 17.553 E 174° 47.810 Short Description Just off portion of Mt Vic Green Belt Trail, Altitude: 82meters, Great Views of city and Harbor, terain rating 3 due to trail steepness.

Additional Hints where you have best view, up hill perpendicular to gravel trail, up side hill (climb up mulch pile), behind tree stump just to right of blue grafiti sand stone. Last found June 13. Bring a pen!!! To get there, walk east on Oriental Pde, then go up Hay st from Oriental Bay, then turn left into Telford Tce where a trail starts south up the hill. When you meet the main trail coming from the east, turn into that one. Shouldn't be far from there. Good luck and say hello to Wellington for me!
