  1. I had some personalized koozies made a few years ago and just finished using those up (for the adults). I buy a lot of stuff from Dollar Tree. Tops, toy compasses, sports balls, plastic animal figures, etc. I have found some NICE handmade pieces in some caches. If I come across something really cool and on clearance, like our Family Dollar was going out of business and I bought an entire box of rocks with uplifting words etched into each one (dream, believe, etc), then I grab those. I keep a bag in the car at all times since I never know when I will need some swag.
  2. I just vented about this on one of my caches yesterday after doing some yearly maintenance. I had a couple of DNFs after changing cache containers, and then a geocacher with thousands of finds posted a NM on my cache and said, "It must have been washed away". I knew it hadn't (It's screwed in, up high), but I went to check on it anyway. I asked for them to please post a DNF from now on, because I will go check after a few DNFs to make sure it's still there. I had several DNFs on another one and that one was actually missing and I replaced it. I feel it's my responsibility to check on my caches after several DNFs anyway (unless it's a sneaky one ;)) - but I've had at least three post a NM when it did not.
  3. These have been some of our favorite kind lately. We found several not too far from us. Many of them had (gadget cache) next to their title when I did a search. That search led me to an entire trail of 7 gadget caches, and along the trail, at several of the caches, you had to write down some of the answers to get coordinates for a "bonus cache". It was some of the most fun (and challenging!) we have had with geocaching. Several have been replicas of WVTim's caches but have their own unique touch. One was inspired by the game Plinko off The Price is Right and to get into the initial cache box, you had to know a phrase Bob Barker always said at the end of each show. By process of elimination, we guessed the code word. Once inside, you played a game with a marble where when you "win", it knocks this wooden piece down and exposes another code word to open the lock underneath to the cache container and logbook. See below:
  4. We love containers that CO's have put a lot of thought/work into and make it more than "another matchstick container in a tree". We recently have come across several gadget caches that have been so fun and challenging and we favorited most of them. Another one I gave a favorite point to was one that was hand crafted but blended into its surroundings. And yet another just this week was on a hiking trail that was so challenging but the view when we got there was so amazing. I guess it's all how the cache makes me feel once I attain the smiley.
  5. We loved one called "Fireflies in the Park" - Nacogdoches, Texas. You use a flashlight to locate "fireflies" (glow in the dark tacks) attached to trees - and follow the trail to the cache.
