Ontario Geocaching Association

Time for an update. That is to say the update is overdue. Why you might ask? Spring is a busy time. But you've probably noticed this yourself and yet the new caches just keep on coming. Sometimes even for the power cachers it can be daunting seeing all of these new caches popping up all of the time. Just six months ago Ontario was at about 8,000 caches and today there are over 10,000. And that includes Winter! Geocaching is growing pretty fast these days.

Sometimes you just can't find them all. You have to be selective and there are many ways to do this. You can focus your attention on certain cache types. Are you a Traditionalist? A Puzzler? A Tourist? Picking the cache type you like best can help your enjoyment level. But maybe you are all about the numbers? Looking at caches with low difficulty and terrain ratings might be for you. Speaking of difficulty and terrain, they don't go hand in hand. Whether you like easy or hard to find caches or enjoy rugged or flat terrain, there are caches that fit the bill. And of course, size does matter! Only like micros? You can skip the regular sized if you like. Micros not your thing? Don't even look at them! Don't forget to give some thought to the attribute icons! They quickly tell you what you can expect if the owner has added them. They are a great addition to any cache page.

Even if you don't download blocks of caches, by using the "Nearest From Home" link on your "My Page" you can still quickly filter through things that do or don't interst you. There is even an option to ignore a cache if you are a premium member! It all comes down to taking some time to figure out what caches you enjoy, what is about them you enjoy and going for them! Like them all? What are you doing here? Get going! Five more probably got published while you were reading this!
