Accumulating Finds

I set a goal to find 100 by the end of the school year, and that will be easily achievable. Might even be reasonable to find 200! Now, I'm really enjoying getting out; I've spent more time outdoors in the last few months than I have in a very long time. It's been fun to see tucked-away hidden parts of the city; there are so many little parks and recreational spaces that I didn't know about.
I'm also really enjoying creating caches - particularly the puzzles. There's a real art to crafting a good cache. Considering the puzzle and the location, not to mention the exact hiding spot, and the container. Then there's the initial contents. I really don't have an interest in having a hundred of my own little film canisters to maintain, but a handfull of quality, well thought-out hides would be just fine. Especially if they're in places I enjoy visiting
There are a handful of people in Winnipeg who have found every cache in within the perimeter. How depressing! Even myself, I've cleared out a good chunk of the northwest corner of the city, so I'm having to travel farther and farther to cache. But it seems the sport has some continued built-in appeal - I suppose you get more into hiding, or competing for the First-To-Find certificates, or trading / collecting coins.
Yep, pretty neat.
