  1. one time i found an old wet newspaper in a cache. wtf? i don't think there are many people out there that collect old wet newspapers. the reason i started geocaching was because i thought i would be able to find cool stuff, after a few caches i realized i liked "the hunt" :lol: better than the junk i could find.

  2. approaching the area from different directions helps a lot when accuracy and reception are poor. it sucks when you think you are looking in the right area, and all the sudden your gps says its 300 feet the other way. you should try this method if you haven't already.

  3. hey that was mine!!! :D

     

    no seriously

    How about a homeless person's cash/savings???

     

    I've seen makeshift abodes of the homeless in nature preserves multiple times over the years.

     

    Were I homeless, where would I keep my excess cash? I wouldn't want it all on me since that's too risky.

     

    I can't put it in the bank, 'cause I don't have an address. I could pay for a safe deposit box or something, but that costs a lot. If I trust a friend to keep it secure, I can't access it without them.

     

    I'd probably leave a small amount (in case they return and need some) with a contact note. If drug-related, they won't bother to spend the time to contact you. If more critical (homeless/destitute), they can recover it. If obsolete, no matter.

     

    The fact that it's all dirty/wet doesn't mean much--look at geocaches! Frequent visitation/tending and they still end up dirty/wet.

    i concur

  4. If any of you have seen the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou", you will probably remember the scene where the guys stumble upon a klan rally in the woods. Even though that is a fictional movie, and a very funny one at that, that is what I don't want anyone running into while looking for a cache.

    Thats exactly what i thought of when i read your story! A funny cache would be to cover a hillside with flamingos and then people would have to figure out wich flamingo the container is. Make there be 100 flamingos. thatd be hilarious. I have an awesome idea for a cache, that the word hillbillly made me think of. i cant tell anyone though. one word:banjo

  5. GCGZ9W Are You The One? #09 - The Gatekeepers was located at an old haunted tavern in Portland Oregon. :) My mom used to tell me that the tavern was haunted when i was little. it was cool to see a cache placed there, and it be listed on the web as a haunted site.

  6. i stumbled upon this topic while looking for any info that might help me solve some of the impossible puzzles near me. i am clueless as to what i am supposed to look for in cache descriptions. when a cache says :the cache is no at the above corrdinates and then tells a story or poem, i know i have to decipher the description to find the coords but i dont know how. any hints on what to look for in these types of caches would be greatly appreciated!
