When we first started geocaching a couple of years ago, we noticed that almost every geocacher that we came across in the field was using a hand held GPS unit.
These days most geocachers that we have met have been using smart phones.
Apart from the natural elements of destruction that occur regularly in Australia such as bush fires and flooding combined with land redevelopment and maintenance workers finding them by accident.
Could part of the problem be that in the past a financial commitment of outlaying money for the GPS meant that the members were more dedicated than the random one time geocacher with kids attached using a smart phone. and the kids coming back later to raid the cache on a regular basis?
I know of several caches that have a habit of being Bermuda triangles for trackables.
Regardless of that my partner and I started of with about 25 tbs, of which 8 have gone missing. This still does not deter us from releasing another 10 in the next few weeks.
