  1. Is the cost restricting the distance your willing to drive to Cache?

     

    This thought ran through my mind while checking the listings for caches now that the weather is improving. As for the near future I'll be reducing my searching some too when I'll be in a given area.

     

    What are you thinking?

    Tnx

  2. What a great idea. Heading out to one of our local favorites tomorrow, will have to send our out from there.

     

    Mailed today. From the location. We love it there. Come north.

  3. I guilty. However, many TB & coins have gone missing with out being logged around my area. I do try to leave them in a cache that is visited a bit more often with the hope of them not getting stolen. I will leave them when I find a good one to leave them in. I also log any coins / TB's to try and prevent them being stolen.

    I know this is a repeat, I'll think of another.

    This is was my guess. I was their about a month after this picture was taken what a sight. Is well worth the trip. Just book the trip and go, any time of the year.

  6. When you say "in" a guardrail, how do you mean? Stuck in an end?

    They can get creative, Their are many locations of different sizes that can hold different types of containers. I've seen film cans, magnetic key holders, peanut butter jar size anything. A guard rail my also be used for something else other than along side the road. I did one and it was made into another type of functional lawn furniture in a near by park.
