snowolf Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Greetings all, coming back to Geocaching is like waking up from the dead, sad to say that time has not been on my side lately and I have not been caching as much as I would like to. I’m excited to see that things have changed drastically for the good, when I first started caching the pickings were scarce and active participants were few so got quite discouraged despite efforts to promote the sport. Seems as though times have changed and GPS units have become more affordable for more and more people are joining in on this high tech treasure hunt. Cheers for now and God bless.

Now it seems the usist place in the country, so you should be able to cache for ages. running out spaces to hide there now Quote Link to comment

+warthog Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi there, Welcome back!!! Remember the "lost" sunglasses from JHB-South that we placed at your cache "Lime Kilns"? See there is another cache nearby now. Brings back memories of starting out in caching. Quote Link to comment
snowolf Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 hey warthog, yup I do remember them glasses. I am planning a new cache, this is designer cache at its best so keep your eyes peeled. Quote Link to comment
+Fish Eagle Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Welcome back Snowolf Can't wait to meet you and hear stories of caching in the Lowveld in the "dark ages" - it must now be like being a "kid in a candy store" compared to 2001!! When we started caching in Oct 2005, we saw 16 caches within the (then) 160km circle of Nelspruit - half of them were in Swaziland, and the other half, except your virtual, were hidden by visitors. Now we see 160+ within an 80km circle of Nelspruit, with another 20 or so just outside the 80km circle!!!! Whoopeee! Discombob - the Lowveld still has lots and lots of potential cache locations - we are so blessed with having such a variety of beautiful and interesting country (and history) around us.

+vespax Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Welcome back, kotter! er.....Snowolf. What a great country to cache in these days..... Quote Link to comment
+Brick Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 My forth cache ever was the lime kilns cache outside Machadadorp. I drove 1000km to claim this cache, and it inspired me to write about on our, then, club website.... Midsummer madness Man alive, now you bring back memories. Well happy caching snowolf. There is lots to catch up on... Quote Link to comment
