Way back in Oct 2003 i placed my first cache ever, outside Monument, CO.
It was named Herman's Lap (GCH01E) because it sits out on a ridgetop at
the base of Mt Herman. It was an ammo can, because at the time i thought
all caches were ammo cans:)
I have placed 75+ caches and i've lost a lot of them due to weather, vandalism, even one to bulldozers. But old Herman's Lap is still going
strong. I had placed a disposable camera in the cache, and recently a
Colorado cacher mailed the full camera to me. Even though the expiration
date on the camera was Dec '05!, all the pics came out great. I didnt
recognize anyone in the photos but it was apparent that everyone was
having fun.
And that's what it is all about.
