The Artful Dodger Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 After reading the FIRST CACHE MEMORY thread, it got me thinking about my first cache I placed. My Durban's Botanical View has remained plunder-free for about 15 months now - even though it is in a country, far, far away... So, all those cache hiders out there...is your first cache still active out there for cachers to find? How long has it been? AD Quote
+briansnat Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My first cache, Billy E. 9/11/01, is still there after a little over a year. I've been pretty lucky so far (knock on wood), as I've only had one cache stolen out of some 30+ non virtuals I've placed. I did archive a couple, but that was only because I made a significant change to the cache's location, or changed a regular cache into a multi-leg.

+Markwell Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Quasimodo’s Quadary is still active, although I need to replace the final box. Plundered, but not gone. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote
+Planet Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 I only placed Some Gave All on 6/24/02, but it's still going strong. 23 Visits, 1 Maintenance trip and currently holds two Travel Bugs. Gorgeous views and rave reviews! Cache you later, Planet Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Quote
Salvo Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My Y2K themed cache is still hanging in there. Sorry I don't know how to incorporate the link (yet). Quote
+sbell111 Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Great Caesar's Ghost was originally placed on October 20, 2001. I did temporarily disable it for a few months last spring after a local cacher absconded with it. Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. Quote
Moun10Bike Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 I planted my Camels Prairie Stash on 6/17/2000. It was the 40th cache ever placed, and the first in Idaho. It has had no problems so far, which is no doubt helped by its relative remoteness. In the 2-1/4 years since it was placed, it has seen just 8 finds (5 of which came this summer). Quote
+welch Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My Oakland Mills cache has been going for 14+ months. quote:Originally posted by Salvo:My Y2K themed cache is still hanging in there. Sorry I don't know how to incorporate the link (yet). Salvo's Reserves Quote
+Hiemdahl Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My first cache fell victim to some land clearing, but my second cache is still there. there is no chance of anyone finding this one by accidenr. Actually I never expected it to ever be logged and was recently quite suprised. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=6114 Hiemdahl Quote
+leatherman Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My first cache was plundered. The only one that has gone missing. I'm waiting for all the bushes and grass to die for the winter. I'll go back and search for it again. It went missing once before and I found it thrown deep into the blackberry bushes. If you do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do. Mokita! Quote
+bigredmed Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 So far my first cache is still there. Sounds like it has sparked some visits to our city's botanical garden. The first cache I found is no more. It was a feature on a TV news story and the owner decided that it needed to retire given the exposure. By appointment to the Court of HRM Queen Mikki I. Quote
+Web-ling Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My first cache washed away in a flood. It would have been 1 year old tomorrow. My second cache, placed three days later, is still going strong. Quote
+Team Finn Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My first cache is still going strong. Quartz Cache has only had 21 logged visits, so maybe its remoteness is its saving grace. Dave We go until we get there..... Quote
+Team Finn Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 My attempt at linking Quartz Cache failed, so I will try again! QUARTZ CACHE Dave We go until we get there..... Quote
