Thanks for all the suggestions. Spent some of the day pondering this. Now there is another element that I have to add in. M is absolutely in love with waterfalls. In order to score that 10(instead of just a 9.5), I thought about putting the cache near a waterfall. With that said, there are no real waterfalls within 100 miles of where I'm at. So I considered going out this weekend and placing my private cache for recall at some future date. I've also considered creating a public cache, write my proposal and see how many people write best wishes before she finds it. I'm just a bit leary of leaving a ring in the woods for more than a couple of hours. Fortunately, M doesn't even know this forum exists so chances of here stumbling across it are somewhere between slim and none.

I've been Geocaching for a couple of years and I turned the love of my life onto it last August. Our second date was her first exposure to Geocaching. It didn't go quite as planned because the first three caches we visited we were unable to find. I was getting frustrated and I'm not sure what was going through her mind. Anyway the forth and final cache was the Seven Mountains Patch Cache. I don't remember terrain or difficulty. Terrain must have been like a 4 difficultiy maybe a 2 or 3. It was a successful find and she was hooked. Of course, with a terrain of 4 she'll probably never let me live down the fact that I tried to kill her. Fast forward a year. I'm ready to ask for her hand in marriage. And I would like to create a private cache for her that contains my proposal. Anyone else ever down something like this? Did you put the ring in the cache? Put in a slip of paper and hold the ring? I need some ideas. TIA the first half of T&M
