bump. It happened again.

Yeah! Good one!

Shop4swag.com.
But I report success with standard tupperware, peanut butter jars, and even grated cheese containers. Go to a military surplus ttore. Try cacheboxstore.com. Try cache-advance.com. Try REI.

It's really just counting more as numbers. The first cache would've been GCA, then GCB, etc. Groundspeak has letters used as numbers, as well as numbers themselves. So really its just cache placement numbers. They go it thei order: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, but zero may be included, not sure. Older ones just use regular numbers.

Yes, you can! 'Course, you can display it on the net if you want to...

Get one of those disposable cameras, then scan the prints. But I like Bittsen's idea better, just photoshop a GPSr into the mix.

I use two part epoxy. Avoid hotglue at all costs.

I live um...let's see...100 feet or so from this area, and know of no alternate way to get there without backtracking. But I could always MAKE a trail that would do it, just connect spur trails, bu that's a lot of work.

One man's crap is another man's cache...

Even on 50+ cache days, I try to write decent logs. But there was one series of four, all LPCs, all with the same description, where I couldn't remember which was which. That got copy and paste. Everything else I wrote sumthin'

There isn't, but there should be.

A night cache is tricky enough by itself, and like a puzzle or a multi, will suffer from a lack of tries anyway. Don't attempt to obfuscate it... you will only piss people off.
Probably right. I guess I'll make it only 2-3 miles.
-
Yes! That's what's going on. But if you turn around, you will see them, no way around it.

For a fishing themed cache, fill an otterbox with fishing stuff, weight it down so it'll sink, tie it with some sort of retractable cord, and put a loop of string or something on it so people have to get out their fishing rods and fish just o get it.

Sooner or later someone will post a log that gives it away. I would make sure the final is far enough from the start that folks can't simply brute force the final. Having the final at the same spot as the start seems just a bit too obvious and contrived. Maybe it would work after all since no one would expect it. But that would only work until someone gave it away in their log. So in a circular argument I started out with it being a bad idea and came back to the same opinion.
Any time a night cache has an obvious final it is a bad idea in my opinion.
Well, I suppose...
So, let me get this straight....
A cloud of tacks, that diminish into none so the cachers "essentially" give up and head back, only to see the real trail?
Yes, i think it will work, though I would be mildly P.O.d that I was led to walk down a trail for no other reason than to trick me.
But that's just me.
In some ways I think it's a great idea.
No, the cloud of tacks is so there's no chance you will look anywhere that's not ahead of you. Then, it diminishes into a normal amount so you don't turn back. They will end up doing a giant loop and then arriving at the start again. That will be a nano, BTW. It will have coords for the next start point.
They will probably notice them at some point. Most night caches are done by groups of two or three. The cacher in the lead turns to say something to their buddies and sees the tacks. Good news is they will probably think they are so they can find their way back.
Yeah, didn't think of that.
-
So here's my idea for a night cache: The first little chunk of it has so many firetacks all around it's impossible o get lost, then that diminishes to a normal amount, and I tack trails making a wide loop and eventually walking on the trail you came in on, back to the starting point where the cache is. My question: Do you think geocachers will turn around and see the trail of tacks behind them?
-
Yeah! But have 200 other prizes of ammo cans that are different gold/bronze/silver shades! I'm bound to win one!
-
None of these claims really matter, of course.
I was never consulted and have yet to see any milkbones from any of the so called "contenders".
Wannabe's I tell ya. Wannabe's. The fact that I have not been consulted shows their lack of knowledge of how the geocaching system actually works.

I think I'll go buy some defects!

I enjoy complicated multis that have you in a beautiful area doing tough terrain. Like this.
