Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Searching for the oldest Geocache in Port Elizabeth: I've been Geocaching for four years and have found just short of 2000 caches, yet, and I should probably be ashamed to say it, I have never gone to look for the oldest cache in Port Elizabeth.
