10YL - The Cacher's Photo Album
This series of stand-alone caches looks back at the first ten years of Lost2011's caches - 10 Years Lost. The geocaches chosen in this series hold strong memories for me, are creative, and have given me the most enjoyment, and I hope you have experienced similar too.
This traditional cache was first published in March 2014, under the name of 'A Cacher's Story', and achieved 18 favourite points from 109 finds. The cache was last found in August 2016, before being archived.
All caches come with a story. Even the most bland of caches has a purpose or reason behind their placement, even if it is only known to the owner. Whether it be the location, history, point of interest, cache originality, or something else, the cache is very much about the owner and the choices he/she makes.
And when the story is ready to be shared with the rest of the world, the adventure begins. It is then down to each cacher to experience the cache in their own way. Many stories are continued with fantastic log writing sharing experiences and achievements. Some write just four letters, which tells a story in itself. There are also some cachers who use photography to share their experience, and it is this medium which has intrigued and fascinated me the most. Every photo tells its own little story.
This cache is nothing more than a glorified photo album, but as we all tend to share the same interest in geocaching, maybe you would like to view the photo album I have compiled. All the photos have been logged with other Lost2011 caches. If you are familiar with my caches, see if you can identify which photos go with which particular cache. Maybe you'll even spot your own photo, if you’ve taken one of course!
There is no need to look for a log book as such, just find a photo that you like or has meaning to you, then date and sign the back of it. All photos are laminated so only a marker pen will suffice. I have left one in the box but please ensure it remains, however bring your own marker pen just in case.
This really is about a cacher’s story, not mine. Maybe you would also like to carry on the story and leave a photo in your log, but obviously, this is just optional. Smile! 📸
