I know I'm chiming in a little late... but I refused to tell any of my friends or family where I hid the four caches I hid two weeks ago. I think it's funny watching my friends get irritated that I wouldn't give them a leg up

I made a ninja turtle series that went live a few days ago. Today someone who found it posted a pic that still has me grinning. Here are the containers: The pic that was posted:

3 out of the 4 are in pretty cool places. I managed to spread them all across town. That way if someone wants to find all four, they aren't done in 15 minutes.

This is one of my favorite ones that I've found. It looks simple but took a good 25 minutes to find. I must have walked past it a dozen times.

9/10 times I say "I'm taking part in a world wide, never ending treasure hunt". Usually it's older people that don't want me terrorizing their neighborhood, or security guards that monitor parking lots. I gladly explain to them what geo caching is and show them the app on my phone. I have never had someone be negative once I explain what I'm really doing. More often than not they are actually interested and blown away that something so huge is completely unknown to them. I figure I have a lot better chance of not having the cops called on me, or having the cache found and removed, if I just be polite and act as if I'm trying to spread the word on a nice recreational activity that cause no harm to anyone.

Each one of these is destined for a different sewer around town.

Thanks! *thumbs up* I have gone back and forth so many times about possibly using pieces of coordinates in each cache to lead to a fifth unlisted cache, but honestly I can't handle that. My fear with these caches is that they will be stolen by muggles because they look so cool. Even with the disclaimer on the first page of the log sheet, I'm sure some punk kid is bound to steal one eventually. If I have to order more containers, I don't want to have it take 2+ weeks to be able to get the missing clue back out. On top of that, I'd have to find a new location as I am not going to make the same mistake twice. I also think that just finding all four of them will be fun in itself. I think of it as if I were the cacher. If I were to come up on one of these, pulled it out of the sewer and see that it was in deed a ninja turtle... I'd get a pic and want to find the remaining three asap just for the fun factor, you know? Thanks. Whenever I do projects, regardless of what it is, I always like to go the extra mile. I have seen some really clever caches out on my journeys, and it always makes it that much more fun. I can't stand when I have to hike through the woods, or wait for a muggle clearing just to find the same old film container (with a soaked log). I think I am going to plastic baggy the logs anyway. I'm sure the o-ring will go eventually and someone is bound to not cap it properly at some point, lol. Are those "real" bison tubes or some of those pill containers one can get at a drug store. If they're the latter, prepare to do a lot of maintenance as they will leak and the logs will get wet. It sounds like you could also run into proximity issues if you try to put one at every corner and is there *really* something interesting to see at every corner in your small town? I've never heard the phrase "bison tubes" before. I just searched it on Amazon and the containers I ordered were like the fifth hit down. http://www.amazon.com/Large-Size-MEDICAL-ALERT-FIRST-container/dp/B000SJG1E2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343046712&sr=8-3&keywords=bison+tubes I tried to find out as much as I could about these containers prior to purchase, and they seem like they should work just fine. Several of the comments were actually geocachers expressing their joy at the fact the fact that their logs have stayed dry for months. Proximity wont be an issue. I say the phrase "small town" in regards to the towns and cities around me, but it's actually a pretty good size. It has a population of 24,000+, six grocery stores, four dunkin donuts, sixteen car dealerships, four lakes, etc... Until I recently started researching the placing of my own caches, I didn't even think proximity was an issue. There are many spots in town you can park and have no more than a 3 or 4 minute walk in several directions before finding a cache. I just searched by my town's zip code. There are 392 caches within a ten mile radius.

Hello everyone. First post here, been lurking for a while. My name is Brian and I am from a small town in Connecticut (United States). I have been geocaching for a few months now. I have only logged 28 finds, but have well over 50 if you count the ones I found with a buddy of mine before I started doing it on my own. I have decided to make my own multi-cache series. I know some people say wait until you find a hundred caches before you make your own, but I have cached in five states, have done plenty of research, and have put tons of thought into what I am planning to do. I was never a huge fan of the Ninja Turtles as a kid, but a cache I found dangling by a string in a sewer while down in Pennsylvania inspired me. I plan on putting these in four different sewers around my town. The will be titled "TMNT *Turtle's name* Cache". My town is very diverse, and I would like to put one in each corner so that out-of-towners can get a good look at where I live. I know by the third or fourth turtle they will be easy to find, but I think it will be really fun for the kids as well as anyone who likes a trip down memory lane. The pictures should be pretty self explanatory. I hope you enjoy them! Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
