- I agree somewhat... Last night, I went out with a co-worker and we found 2 out of 4. Sometimes, they just don't get any easier.. Other times, they do... You would think that after finding over 2500 caches, I could spot em... I guess the challenge keeps us going. Mike Tired of Spam?? Here's your solution..

We had only found 5 or 6 caches at that time. When we returned, we had over 100 caches under our belt and found it right away. Once you have been caching a while, you begin to spot things that don't look natural or look different than everything else. That's a big clue that a cache is there.
