Congrats to Peter and Gloria on their 200th Hidden cache find. A very impressive number considering there are only just over 200 in all of manitoba. Keep it up.

FYI

Actually that was 200 (now 201) Traditonal Caches. We have also found 21 Multi-Caches, 2 Letterbox Caches and 16 Unknown (Mystery) Caches. One Unknown (Mystery) could be considered a Locationless (Reverse) Cache. So the total is actually 239 Hidden Caches.

In addition there are 2 Event Caches and 19 Virtual Caches. Twelve Virtuals could be considered Locationless (Reverse) Caches. That would bring the total to 248 caches that are not like Locationless (Reverse) Caches.

It is interesting seeing breakdown of information on finds. I personally really applaud you Peter and Gloria for all your reverse locationless finds! Some cachers seem to have some disdain for those but in reality they are a lot of work and a good challenge. Don't knock it til you tried it I say.

Taking the photos alone and getting the numbers to register as well as the object in the background is tricky. Finding many of those unique locations is challenging too and one has to slam on the brakes sometimes when driving to capture the locations. And for some listed reverses there are few objects in certain provinces as listed. I'd encourage cachers to get into finding reverses. It can really make a long drive worthwhile especially if you miss a few caches due to them going missing etc. Our children really have begun to notice distinct features on buildings and really seeing statues they'd never have noticed otherwise. It helps develop the visual sense to a heightened awareness! I really wish we were allowed to develop more virtuals in the province as well since those are better for some spots than hiding micro's. The photo one we did at the Leg was our answer to not having virtual's there. Finding real caches is a lot of work too and a lot of money spent on fuel. An enjoyable investment when one finds the caches though.

Keep it up! We enjoy your hides very much and hope to do the rest of yours later this summer.

The Queen for the 4 Jokers

The only problem being lots of locationless caches are one time use and get exhausted fast.
