Another Cacherjahr is nearing the final and it is time to venture once the shoulder view. What has happened in the winning countries Cacherszene so? Where is the development?
very clear, the geocaching has developed us into a mass movement back. Reports on TV and print media have done their part. The devices have become more efficient and cheaper, which has led to proliferation of those. In addition, the recreation is in the nature (eg hiking is booming, too) all the rage. All this has contributed to Geocaching has double-digit growth rates.
When I started in 2003 with the cache - yes I am one of the most senior in the winner Cacher country - there were just a handful of caches and cachers. They met in the forest never actually someone who was with the GPS on the go. Things are different today. Since the publish of a new Tradies ever gets to the big event. The development of a mass movement also brings opponents to the plan. Hunters and forest owners are not at all impressed and have already partially organized, supplied with a GC account and proceed to the cans in their area. In other states in politics for over a night Waldbetretungsverbot discussed. In this direction will certainly get something. The hunters as simply a better lobby.
Another development is the points chase. As quickly as possible to get the points account is the goal. Unfortunately, with negative consequences for the quality cache. Since Tradies be in the 160-m distance thrown into the landscape rather than taking up a multi from it - but there's only one point. Since the local lake with 25 doses is thrown, although there are already 2 laps of the multi exact same route.
I have nothing against Tradies, there are also this year some came out nice - see eg Jailed - but unfortunately a lot of crap. Hopeful Neucacher how uA concrete head, there are also beautiful and they have placed caches. They are so still, the quality caches.
is interesting to observe how the development goes on. the whole matter is regulated by itself, because some cachers, hang ebbing of the wave of euphoria, their device to the nail. I think that the bad because caches are also more conducive.
Part 2 follows ...
