+TheLoneGrangers Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My wife and I said we would place a cache at 100, we are almost at 500, do you think its time? LOL Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Only if you want to. It took us 2 years and +200 finds to put out any caches. Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneGrangers Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 It's hard because I want to put out a fun one, or one with a great view, but I don't think there are alot of cool enough places around my location that I may be forced to place a guard rail or LPC or something simuliar. I have a challenge in mind, but do I want to place a challenge as my first cache??? I think the regulars around here would just appreciate another cache nearby. But I want something that earns favorite points...thats what I want for any cache I place. I want people to see my CO name, and can't wait to go find my cache because they know it will be awesome...Maybe I set to high of standards? lol Quote Link to comment
+L0ne.R Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My wife and I said we would place a cache at 100, we are almost at 500, do you think its time? LOL If you're ready for the responsibility, investment and commitment, go for it. You do seem to be committed to the game. Quote Link to comment
+sidekeck Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I didn't place my first one until I had somewhere around 8-900 finds. Mostly I just wanted to be sure I had enough experience, was ready for the responsibility and felt I could produce the type of quality hide I would want to find. I'm a slow learner.

+TheLoneGrangers Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Committed? YES! lol...I traded in my 2010 SS Camaro for a 2007 jeep wrangler...to cache, and we are about to purchase 2 kayaks or a canoe...to cache lol Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My wife and I said we would place a cache at 100, we are almost at 500, do you think its time? LOL If you have to ask... No. Good Luck with it! Quote Link to comment
+Hawkins2.5 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Maybe I set to high of standards? lol I don't think so, I agree with your reasoning. I don't think it matters whether you have 100+, 500+, 1000+ caches - that's not the most important thing when thinking about placing your own. Obviously it helps you know and understand good hides but what really matters is whether you have a good place to put it where people will enjoy the find. If your goal is favourite points then great. Don't just put one out for the sake of it or because you have a certain number of finds! Quote Link to comment
+d+n.s Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If ou really don't hav any nice locations near you in a natural sense, I'm always a fan of being brought to a cool shop, museum, neighborhood park or even restaurant I didn't know about or whatever... just be sure to get permission. Also, an LPC or guardrail could maybe be cool if there is some thought put into it. For example, if I lift the skirt and find a lego village or a chache painted with a really interesting design instead of camo, I might be happy I came Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you can't find a place to hide one that you'll be happy owning, then don't hide one. There are other ways to contribute to the game. Quote Link to comment
hoosier guy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you have a good spot for a well thought out cache & are ready to maintain it, then it is time. I think you will enjoy the experience. It is fun to read the logs and hear about others adventures. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My wife and I said we would place a cache at 100, we are almost at 500, do you think its time? LOL Depends. How many of those 500 came from power trails? These days, that could be five days or fewer of caching. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I don't think you should place a cache just because you have some certain number of finds. Certainly with 500 finds you should have a good idea of what works and what doesn't, not to mention what type of cache YOU like to find. Please don't hide one just just because you think you should, but don't hesitate when you finally find that really cool spot that you want to show to the rest of us. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Don't place a cache until you find a place that you would be happy to bring someone who has never cached to. If you wouldn't want to use the cache to show how fun and educational caching can be then it isn't worth placing the cache. My standard is to place caches in places or styles that if CBS news wanted to go caching and put a piece on national news I wouldn't be embarrassed to take them to my cache. Seems to work for me.
