Hider or Seeker?

[+sunnathy]

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?

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.

[+sunnathy]

Yes I do mean a seeker. I messed that up good style. Thanks for pointing it out.

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.

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.

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".

[+Sol seaker]

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.

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.
