New Zealand Recreational GPS Society

There have been a number of discussions on the forums recently about new cachers, archiving caches and the growth of the sport. In this editorial I suggest one option that can be used to ensure there are enough spots left to place caches for everyone.

I've had a couple of discussions with other geocachers recently about the increasing numbers of geocaches being placed in New Zealand, and what this means for current and new geocachers when it comes to placing new geocaches.

When I started caching there were probably only 20 geocaches in the South Island. I had an almost free reign to choose where I wanted to place new caches. As of today, there are 508 listed on geocaching.com and my home-town of Christchurch is swimming in caches!
