  2. Bra on the way to here: Sky King Cache And a Non used tampon in a cache in that area.
  3. I believe this is just an average garter snake out at this cache: North Creek
  4. The first rule of geocaching is we do not talk about geocaching. The second rule of geocaching is we do not talk about geocaching. /fight club reference
  5. lol you said muggle deposit... Muh ha ha ha... I wish there were decent places in KS to get away with a bigger cache like this.
  6. I will play around with some different methods and post anything that works. If anyone else gets something that works awesome and still look realistic let me know!
  7. Yeah, that light bulb is very cool! I'll have to look for those at Hobby Lobby but I can never find anything in that place though. Agreed, at my local Hobby Lobby it's very hard to get any help as to where things are at. I stopped by at lunch and bought two of them - 50 cents each. Of course I had to ask someone where they were or I'd be there all day. Afterwards I bought two lightweight plastic bulb holders at Home Depot for $1.37 each. Sbell111's idea of the cryotube is very good. Now if I could only get my hands on some of them! Looks like I'm gonna have to make a trip! The one that is painted on the outside is not very realistic looking but the paint seems to be holding. I attempted to spray paint one on the inside and it ended up looking very real! However after a few days the paint is cracking on the inside. I used some hot glue to seal up the lid as well as an o-ring around the part of the bulb the lid screws to. This should prevent moisture. Plus I plan on placing underneath a roof such as one of those little shelters you see at parks. Any other paint ideas on getting the bulb to look realistic?
  8. Here is one I am getting ready to put out pretty soon. Would make a good urban cache. Hobby Lobby has the little Light Bulb jars. They were $ .99 a piece and were the same size as a real light bulb. so I picked 2 of them up and then went to lowes to get the mount that the bulb screws into. That was like a buck as well. Then I glued a hard drive magnet to the back of the base so I can easily place and remove the cache on metal objects. The bulbs were clear but I thought I would paint one white so the contents wouldn't be viewable. I think the white might make it stick out a little too much. Something that your normal muggle would miss but your cacher would catch. Let me know what you think! Here are the bulbs unscrewed. The one on the right is painted with flat white spray paint. Here they are with the "lids" screwed on. The spray painted bulb screwed in and on my fridge. The clear bulb The hard drive magnet glued to the base to allow for easy placement and removal. Those magnets are very strong however. Strong enough to last with all the elements. -D
  9. ...NEVERMIND... Just trying to get some help.
  10. I think an awesome feature would be to notify via TXT message of a new cache. And have the cords and basic info in the text. Kinda of like the e-mail notifies but with more info. This would be one feature I think would convert lots of people to Premium Membership. It would give them more hope of being FTF. Just my 2 cents Thanks! Derek
  11. You owe me a coke. Ok, Noted, I found this a week ago, but couldn't locate it today. Will close this thread. Thanks guys!.
  12. Also the specs say: "Position Accuracy: less than 15 meters (49 ft)" Is that true that has a 49ft discrepancy?
  13. I am possibly interested. Data cable is it USB or serial? Do you have paypal account?
