Well Done Sig Items

I was in Spokane early for business and wanted an afternoon of trail caching. We had visited Pend Oreille County Park on a vacation trip in June 2014. We both enjoyed the trails. I was happy there were multiple new caches in the park and eager for an adventure.

The trails were fun with some very good views.

I also spotted a couple signature items left by past visitors.

Cachers MsLichen and MsMorrigan left these great sig items.

The other sig item was left by cachers who did not note them in their logs. The Lamp Post Inspection Team tags were fun, They were an interesting find on a day which included over ten miles of hiking.

I have been thinking about a new sig item for our caching team. Finding these in caches has insprired me to also step back to geocaching's roots. Here's a big thank you to cachers who place meaningful sig items in caches they visit.

Sig Items

We've been caching long enough to remember when many cachers had recognizable signature items they left behind in caches. Many were designed and hand made by the cachers. They were quite creative and for a time very collectible. We see few of these among the caches we find now. I was surprised to see a new sig item placed by a local caching couple, CLE Caching Couple in a newer cache. The sig item is a wire formed into the shape of a puzzle piece. It is fitting as a sig item since they are avid solvers and finders of puzzle caches.
