I haven't been on the site for a while until just recently. I retired and moved south last summer. Only a couple of OCNA caches within 100 miles of where I now live. 

Now with this Covid-19 thing happening, I, like most other people, are not caching as much as I'm used to. I was reminded of these locationless caches and decided to revisit them. Lots of research to do here, but I have several that I qualify for.

Happy Trails!

Lonely caches? It seems that most of the OCNA caches I've found have been lonely caches. Of the 16 non-challenge OCNA caches I've found, 12 were >1 year lonely - that 3/4 of them! And that's one of the things I enjoys about sites like OCNA and TerraCaching...it's all the more fun to make the find. And, for what it's worth, the only dnfs I've had so far were BIT caches. What I'm saying is that, in my experience, the cache containers don't all disappear after a year or so without a find (I know some won't go in search of a lonely alt-caching-site cache as they assume it is likely missing).

okay, let get to the numbers. So far, I have found OCNA caches that were lonely by 1 year (x4), 2 years (x2), 3 years (x4) and 4 years (x2). nice spread eh? now I just need to get a year 5 lonely cache ( and I know just where to find one, if I ever get there). Hint hint for another challenge idea (1 lonely cache for each of the 5 years)

Here are my qualifiers for this one:

1 year x 3:

# Type     D / T Name My Find Date Previous Find Date Elapsed time       1         Genesee County Park Interpretive Center Created by Sabrefan7 (OU02B9) 08/16/2015           9 June 2014 1 year, 2 mo 2         Genesee County Alms House -Rolling Hills Asylum Created by Sabrefan7(OU02B8) 08/16/2015        9 June 2014 1 year, 2 mo 3         Genesee County Park #3 Green Forestry Trail Created by Sabrefan7(OU02B7) 08/16/2015        9 June 2014 1 year, 2 mo

2 years x 2:

1					Project Nike Created by GOF (OU045A)	03/31/2015
						13 July 2012  2 yr + 8 mo
2					Riverside-Salem Church BIT Created by Mr.Yuck (OU05A2)	03/31/2015   23 Dec 2012  2 yr + 3 mo

3 year x 1

1			Town of Tonawanda Veterans Memorial Created by Mr.Yuck (OU017F)	03/31/2015
				30 June 2011 3 yr + 9 mo

Thanks to GOF, Sabrefan7 and Mr.Yuck for hiding and maintining these lonely caches, and for the bonus point!

 

Approved!
