All done!! Took me a little over 8 hours, I did it almost entirely by hand (sand paper, hack saw, and a drill). The unlock password is the numbers from "LOST".

Thank you all for your reply's!! I think the only way for me to make myself long on this one is to climb up there and finish the job. Again, Thank you for your speedy reply!! Just to clarify, the pic was for my collection only, and was not uploaded to the cache page. The log I left on the site read: WOW!!! This was our second attempt, and today we found it!! We did NOT sign the log cause we were not that brave, but props to you tishman on an excellent hiding spot!! Some day I plan to return and SL, but today I was not prepared to go CODE: HC gung gerr!! lol

BTW the pic was taken with a Droid, so zoom was not an option, but what your looking at is some plastic green ivy leaf holding up a almost black tube.

So there is a cache in our area that we "found" and logged after two attempts. The cache is located up in a tree (pic below), way up in a tree, and neither of us were in a tree hugging mood, so we took a pic of the cache for our collection, logged the find and headed out. Then a week later, I get an e-mail from the cache owner, stating that is was improper to have logged the find with out signing the log on site. Now I know normally you would sign the log, in fact we have custom printed water proof stickers that we leave behind, however we didn't feel it was safe, so we didn't go up, but we did "find" the cache, right? So I guess my question is, do you feel you HAVE to SL to mark the find?? Thanks, Edward

Great!! I'll look that up, I guess when you said gps averaging I didn't think there would be an app just called "gps averaging". @ Semper Questio - I like paid apps just because they are ad free, I know some free apps are also ad free but the majority of them are not, I have big thumbs and they always seem to place the click-able ad right next to the app buttons.

Although I appreciate your input, it would be nice if you gave some suggestions of how to do it better, rather than pointing out a fault and leaving me hanging ...

Thank you both for your comments. I had to run out to do some shopping last night and I hit 2 geocaches belonging to other people along the way. At both sites I took down the coordinates from my phone and compared them to the coordinates posted online and we were almost a perfect match. I plan to run out to the "hide" tonight and get the coordinates as sort of a test run and see where they plot on the map. I'm sort of a perfectionist, so believe me this will be done by the books!! Thanks again, and if you know the name of any Android apps that average the coordinates please do share ... paid apps preferred!!

Ok so yall can disregard ... right after posting here I found a septate android app that does nothing but display my coordinates ... so now I'm good!! Come Saturday morning, I will head out into the woods to deploy this:

Ok so I have a droid 2 global that I have been using to locate caches and what not through the official Geocaching.com app and c:geo (perferred). I am new to the whole thing (I've only got 4 finds) but already I'm ready to hide my first one!! So I spent an hour working on the container, had the girls at Staples make a custom fit log book, and found just the right trinkets for the kids, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to "hide" or "plant" the cache. I kind of thought I would just be standing where it was to be hidden and one of the apps on the phone would allow me to create the cache based on my current GPS location, but I was wrong. So I guess I need some help, does somebody out there use a android powered device to hide caches, and if so how do you get your coordinates from your phone?? I hope to have this down pat by Saturday as its supposed to be nice out then and I'd love to make this hide!! Any help will be much appreciated!!
