2 of each please!!

This is one outstanding idea, thanks! Sadly, I'm about inept as they come in the realm of mechanical/electrical engineering. This is exactly the kind of thinking I'm looking for, though. Keep the ideas coming! Thanks, MW. We have a night cache in our area that uses LED's controlled by remote control. The first waypoint has the remote (you can also bring a householde remote from home, they work too), and then when you get to the next waypoint, you turn around clicking the remote until you see the blinking LED. Below the LED is a tag with the next coords. Then the final has a light shinning on where the cache is hidden. SO far this is my favorite cache yet. Control The Night

I suspect they may be gone then - as the one in Bremerton disappeared a year or so back. (No surprise for that one - they'd shifted from (way overpriced) military surplus to random (way overpriced) junk.) Yup, Foxhole is no longer on S Tacoma Way. I heard they moved to Lakewood somewhere. There's a place called The Duffel Bag just down from where Foxhole was, and they had ammo cans.

Where do you get your ammo cans from? On the internet or locally? I live in Tacoma, so I figure there's got to be someplace local where we can get a good deal on these. Thanks!

Interesting..you can spout the rules to everyone else, but you don't have to follow them? It's well past the two week period and someone still hasn't released their jeep......

stoopid noob question time. What is a cache machine?

I LOVE woot! I check it everynight. It changes at 10pm our time, so it's the last thing I do before heading to bed. They do have some pretty good deals sometimes. In fact, that's where we got our gpsr from and how we got started geocaching! The grab bag specials they have are actually called 'Bag-o-Crap', and they usually are fairly much just that. The last BOC I got was an ipod cover, remote control dinobot, some random book and a knap sack which for awhile was the geocaching backpack, until we upgraged to a bigger back pack. Anyhoo, I give it 2 thumbs up.

Wow, did I strike a nerve? Feeling guilty? Anyhoo, I did submit a photo. My photo was one of the first photos on the site. I released the jeep and got a photo, all on the first day of the contest. Why? So other people who didn't get a jeep in the mail would have a fair chance of playing. If people want to wait to get that perfect picture or wait to place it in the perfect cache, I have no problem with that. I'm all for people being creative and having fun. If people want to hoard the jeeps, they're perfectly allowed to do so. There's no rule against it. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

I don't think I'm contradicting myself. My personal opinion is I think it's rude to hoard them. If someone has 5 jeeps in their possession, then those are 5 jeeps out of circulation that others can't find. Since day after day, people are searching for jeeps and none are to be found because someone has them in their collection, then that meets the definition of hoarding. However, the rules don't say anything about hoarding, just that they have 2 weeks to release them. As long as people are playing by the rules, then it's all good. I think I got a little off topic here. My main point for this particualr thread was that the original poster hasn't done anything wrong. He clearly isn't hoarding and he has plans to release it within the 2 week period.

I've seen some hoarding going on already, and although it is frustrating that people aren't releasing their jeeps as fast as I'D like, the rules clearly state Jeep 4x4 Request Form I agree to place this 2006 Jeep Travel Bug into a cache within 2 weeks of its receipt people can be annoyed, but you clearly aren't doing anything wrong...as long as you place it within the 2 week period I for one will be looking for it!

I've seen some hoarding going on already. I've seen a few people that have 3 or more in their possession. The one I received, I released immediately and was hoping whoever grabbed it would do the same, but no luck. It's unfortunate, but what can you do? Some people don't play the game fair. All I can do is if I come across one and grab it, is to release it as soon as possible and give others the opportunity to find one.

We have a cache here that uses blinking LED's that are triggered by a remote control. Then at the end a laser points to the final cache. It's pretty cool. It's called Control The Night

I received mine today in the mail!!!!! YeeHaw!!! Of course, I live just south of Seattle, so I'm pretty close to Groundspeak.

Got mine today in the mail!!! W0000H0OOOOO !!!!!!!!

got mine yesterday. Very nice!

We did this one the other night. It was very cool! Started a little too early, as it was still light out. So, it took us awhile to find the first waypoint, but once it got darker, the LED's showed up better. It's kinda creepy sneakin around at night, which just adds to the excitrement. I'm fairly new to geocaching, but it's ones like this that I look for. Very creative and unusual!
