I spent most of the weekend floating and camping near the Spring River between Hardy and Mammoth Springs. Earlier in the year I came through here what was almost weekly on fishing trips. While traveling through earlier this year I was able to add a smiley face to what I thought, all of the caches in both Hardy and Mammoth Springs.
However, when planning for my trip I checked to see if there were any new caches in the area. To my suprise, I found that I had skipped a cache! Bitbrain's Island Stash (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=60c38345-e8d9-460c-bd19-1dfe248162d1&log=y&decrypt=) is a very well hidden cache on an island in the Spring River. This cache was placed on 9/27/2002. In the almost 4 years of its existance this cache has only had 18 (four of them from this weekend) found it logs!
I guess my question is has anyone else noticed caches like these out there? Most cachers enjoy geocaching because it takes you to places that you've never been, among other reasons. Where are these caches that we are overlooking and how does this happen?
I guess I just want to give those less fortunate caches the spotlight here. And give those of us cachers the chance to learn where some of those caches are that we are just overlooking.
