I haven't been caching very long. At the time of posting this cache I have found 597 caches in the short 7 months and 1 day since I started. I have a lot of goals I've set for my self. I have a lot of memories already. I went on a 30 hour road trip all over Virginia collecting a ton of delorme pages and caches in 5 states.
One of the things I have discovered is that the seasons really play a big part in caching. Summer months can be intense and cause long plans to be cut short, but can be a great chance to get those water caches. Winter snow footprints can lead you right to a cache, but frost bite can hurt. But fall...sure the temperature is great for caching but the leaves can making finding a cache very tough, which is bad if you are looking for a cache, but great if you are hiding one.
