Do you think the contents of a geocache (i.e. SWAG) is important?

Yes - and I often trade SWAG
Yes - but I never/very rarely trade SWAG
No - I just want to find it and sign the log

I have currently found seven or eight 5/5 caches ( one has been re-classified ), I plan to do a couple more next weekend. I would love to do more if there were some closer.

Might be time to go and find some more Fungimanforager caches

Perhaps we can sort another CacheWalker trip, some of his hides are pure genius. Just look at the favourite points.

I have found a few. I am hoping to find a 5/4 tomorrow. Some of the caches by fungimanforager do look interesting.

Out of the 8 5/5's I have done I don't think any on there own are 5/5, although fun and yes an element of difficulty, perhaps a combination of the puzzle on WEREWOLF and the climb on ARBOREAL ADVENTURE 9 would maybe get you closer to a 5/5.

For me this one still has to be the most difficult cache find to date (a 4/5), not only getting to gz, but then finding that pesky film pot once there: The Cave Troll's Lair

I agree that many 5/5 caches aren't worthy of their title, by reading logs on them etc.

But Who remembers to 5/5 I set  :o :o  :-[

Another group outing?  ??? ;)  :D Certainly looks fun, but VERY challenging - that goes down sooo deep!  :o

That'll be the snail at High Heights  ;D ;D

I beat WalkTall to the FTF  :P

Yes. A real challenge that one. In my defense, I was new and thought a snail would be the hardest cache EVER so a 5 in Difficulty, and I thought the steep hill and thorns at GZ worked out as a Terrain 5...  :o  :D

Will it be a TJ or WT FTF on my new caches? ???  :P  ... you've each FTFed a bonus each  :D

Well, I'd like to release a little (no more than 10) new series soon, and organize a CacheWalker event for it  ;D

How time passes! A whole week has been and gone, and Yes came out as the winning option on "Have you ever found a 5/5 cache?" - 6 votes! Great, but still got to get to 8 this week to beat our record!

Poll #47 is now up  ;D

Get voting on How do you select where to go caching?

Get voting, and as always, another poll coming next Thursday!
