Welcome to LonelyCache!
The Lonely Cache
There are some geocaches that seem to only be visited a few times a year. Some lie waiting
for a year or more for a geocacher to seek it out. The reasons why are many. Perhaps an
overnight trek far into the back country is needed to reach it. Perhaps it takes solving
a difficult puzzle to know where it is located. Then again, the geocache may be a multi-cache
of several stages that take many miles of travel to complete each one. Maybe special equipment
and skills are needed such as for technical climbing or scuba diving. Whatever the case, an
effort well beyond the ordinary is needed to reach the geocache and claim a find.
The Lonely Cache Hunter
There are some geocachers that seek out these lonely geocaches. These intrepid souls may
spend hours perusing maps to find possible routes to a back country cache. Some will spend
days, weeks, or even months working through the layers of some perplexing enigma. Vacations
will be planned, equipment bought, skills developed, all with the goal of finding just one
lonely geocache.
LonelyCache
LonelyCache is dedicated to showcasing lonely geocaches, the geocaching trailblazers that
hide them, and those geocachers that seek them out. A system for rating lonely geocaches is
at the heart of this project. This will allow geocachers to identify those especially
rewarding geocaches. Statistics are compiled and presented using the rating system and are
used to create various leader boards highlighting lonely caches, hiders, and finders.
