Started in 04 and have been slowly loosing interest in it lately. Way too many urban caches and it seems like it's becoming a real problem with encroaching on private preoperty. I'll still cache if it's in the woods, but I'm pretty much done with it. I have been a premium member for several years and won't be renewing my account this year. Over all it's a great family activity and can be loads of fun. Kids enjoy the heck out of it. There are some great caches out there, highly constructed and very well thought out. But for the most part it seems like more folks are just throwing them anywhere just to help get the numbers up there. If your new at it you will most likely have a great time, I did!
