I cache alone about 90% of the time.  I had a couple of experiences, tho, that 
spurred me to get a Spot satellite beacon.  I figured the price was pretty 
cheap for disaster insurance!

  I read that a few days ago. What was amazing is the police didn't really get 
involved until they found his car.. That's why it is best to cache with 
someone. Remember the guy in San Antonio who went for his first cache and 
slipped into a creek. He couldn't get out because the banks were too steep and 
died of exposure. If someone would have been with him, he would still be 
caching today.

   

  Remember when Mean Gene fell off the cliff at St. Francois state park? He had 
Rolsch with him but who knows what would have happened had he been on his own..

   

  Always cache with someone if you can.

   

  Thanks!
