I begun caching nearly 10 years ago and about that time I started, GOWT (Geocachers of West Tennessee) and RVG (River Valley Geocachers) had started a few weeks before in late 2004. We attended the RVG event in Mayfield and was delighted to see some new cachers. Many of us veteran cachers are not fond of the current development and use of smartphone applications for geocaching, even though most of us have the apps on our phones. We have discovered that since the often free app has lead to fly-by-night cachers, who rarely take the time to research the game; much less put any money into equipment.
We had a good time and the new cachers had many questions and there were plenty of veteran cachers to answer the questions.
