It sounds like I'm not alone. It appears that alot of the caches get junk. I have placed two, and have a third ready. I tried to put desirable items in them. Nothing very expensive. A couple of three dollar things, then some smaller stuff, something to make it interesting. It would be good to keep geocaching from becoming an expensive hobby like a lot of the things I would enjoy doing if I could afford them. But you don't have to clean out the kitchen drawer before you go. Oh, I enjoy the hunt also and the time I get to spend with my wife.
