+sunnathy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I was attracted to Geocaching because I have always loved the idea of treasure hunting; and I love secrets. I realise that without hiders there can't be seekers BUT, as yet, I have no desire to be a seeker. I love the hunt too much and I am totally grateful to the hiders. Even if you do both, which do you secretly prefer? Would you define yourself at heart as a hider or a seeker and why? Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 BUT, as yet, I have no desire to be a seeker. Do you mean "hider"? I assume so since you haven't hidden a cache yet. Find a few more before you do so you can get an idea of how the game works. Quote Link to comment
+sunnathy Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Yes I do mean a seeker. I messed that up good style. Thanks for pointing it out. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 No problem, we all goof up! I really like hiding the best. I like to shop for odd items and see if I can make a cache out of them or use my imagination and come up with something new. I enjoy the creative aspect of hiding. I let others hide lamp post caches.

+rogerw3 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am new at this game, but I have found out that I much prefer the hiding part to the seeking, at least so far. I have tried to attract cachers to the erea and to existing caches that deserve to get more traffic, so far it seems to worked out fairly well. I do not plan where to put my caches, I always carry 1 or 2 ready to go in my backpack and whenever I come accross a likely spot I will leave a cache there as long as there is a reason for people to go there, such as a spectacular vista.

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hiding and hunting each has it's own rewards and satisfactions. Cannot really say what we prefer the most. Gitchee likes making the hides, Gummee prefers the finds, so..... I guess that makes it a "family affair". Quote Link to comment
+Sol seaker Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I am a seeker. couldn't tell I'll bet. I've done a couple of hides, but mainly because I think I need to keep the game going. I'll do more, some point in time I got the idea that one should hide one cache for every hundred found, and i still think it's good statistics, But I don't know how long I'll be doing this. I see so many abandoned caches I hate to put many out and decide to do something else. Is that sacreligious to say here? I guess I can always adopt them out if need be. I don't have the creative bent at this point that others seem to have in hides. I did one really good one, and when I think of more I'll do them. Quote Link to comment
mud4x4 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I am new...so as of now and for awhile into the future, I plan to be a seeker. Still learning the aspects of the game and it's nice to see others caches to help with idea's of my future caches. I have a few spots in mind already but will wait awhile. I only have 10 finds under my belt right now and have only been hunting regular size caches to calibrate my geosense. And then I'll tackle micro's. I plan on taking it just one step at a time.
