    What would you like to see in a geocache?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I'd like a puzzle with a great "Aha!" moment, perhaps with an in-theme location...

     

    Or perhaps a long hike through the woods...

     

    Or perhaps a cache that draws attention to public art...

     

    Or perhaps an on-site puzzle...

     

    Or a container with 4-star camouflage...

     

    Or perhaps a hike along the baylands...

     

    Or perhaps a chance to try something new, like kayaking...

     

    Kayaking?! Your crazy!!!.......

    And genius!!! Muahahaha! Good thing I have many years ahead of me to think about sometn like that. If i come up with something i will be sure to notify you!

     

    Although there are some pretty crazy things one can do in a kayak such as going over high waterfalls there are many different ways to kayak and pretty much anyone can learn how. Some might think of whitewater kayaking as crazy but that's just one kind of kayaking. I've seen 6 year olds do it and met a woman in her 80's that has gone on several multi-hundred mile trip along the coast of Alaska by herself. I've got a photo of another woman that's over 100 years old paddling a kayak. I would guess that probably 80% of the caches intended to be done in a kayak could probably be done in a $15 inflatable rubber raft or even a pool float. I don't think I've seen any "kayak" caches that would require significant kayaking skills and I've taught dozens of people that had never been a kayak before how to do it so I have a pretty good idea what level of skill would be necessary to go after most kayak caches.

     

    I dont think kayaking itself is crazy. Ive done it before and love it. Just akayaking cache. Crazy but genius!

    Creative Geocache Ideas?

    in General geocaching topics

    Hi folks,

     

    I'm looking to hide my first geocache, but it just so happend that a plastic axel in my son's radio control car just broke, so I have a small toy motor, RC receiver and transmitter to my disposal.

     

    Only problem is ... I cannot think of how to apply these bits to a cool creative geocache due to my lack of creativity. If you have any ideas, sure to post them here. Once I have the killer idea, I'm sure I can pull off building it.

     

    Hope to hear from some creative folks out there. :)

     

    The first thing that comes to mind when i hear small motor is one of those little propellers that come with snap curcuit sets. The motor spins and revs it up until the thing is spinning too fast and then it flies into the air. Attach nano log to the spinner? Lead the cacher to the rc controller so that they have to use the controller to send the prop flying? I know its crazy but just a thought have fun good luck!
