I ordered 1 bison tube online a week ago, today I recieved it in the mail. I opened it up and was surprised to see that they sent me 2 bison tubes.
I want to hear anyone elses stories of exciting suprises when opening cache containers from the mail.

How do I Log when we find something
Go to the geocache page of the geocache you found on the website. Look on the right side, you will see the GC code. (Example:GC#####) Under that it will say navigation, and right under that it says log your visit. Click on that, it will bring you to a page where you can log your visit, tell the story of your adventure. There are different types of logs such as: Found, Did not find, Write note, Needs maintenance.

I had a thought... Have you heard of the expanding foam called Great Stuff? It's for filling holes/cracks around the house.
You could make a blob with the preform inside and paint it to resemble a rock.
I did this for a cache where I turned it into a gigantic booger.
That sounds very creative

Does anyone have and ideas to creatively hide a soda bottle preform . I have been thinking about it but I have no ideas.
Have it bronzed and attach it to a statue.
Maybe if it was a statue of a person I could put a magnet in the lid and attach it as a nose. Muggle proof!

Are there any stores that sell these? I'd like to be able to pick some up as opposed to ordering online.
You can find them in stores, I have seen them in some childrens science kits used as test tubes, but would cost you much more as it is a set with a bunch of experiments.

I think the last one is if it has a Travel Bug or trackable in it. I don't know for sure.

So I recently upgraded to premium for an upcoming trip from Alabama to Chicago, hoping to take advantage of the feature. I can't really figure out how to use it , unfortunately. Any help? Pre emptive thanks
Read this page, specificly the caching along a route part. http://www.geocaching.com/about/premium.aspx

But I thought that those odd bits of wire sticking out of the ammo can made good camo, you know like vines and stuff. And I couldn't make it chirp like a cricket, so I put a clock inside it so that it would tick instead. And then I didn't want anyone who accidentally found it messing with it so I wrote "Danger this is a bomb do not touch" on it. That's ok, right?
Only if you hide it in a highly public spot. Any mechanical clock, with ticking loud enough to be heard from inside an ammo can, is gonna be a battery hog. If you hide this way out in the woods, where the numbers oriented cachers rarely roam, the batteries will die betwixt finds. Put it somewhere that the P&G crowd will appreciate, like under the steps of a courthouse, next to an active rail road track or under a highway overpass and you'll be fine.
I've been thinking about making a HUGE geocache and one of the local elementary schools gave me permission to hide one one their property. I'm think about taking an old van, the kind that is big enough to use as a camper, and parking it outside the school and hanging a sign that says "Free Candy". I really think the kids will appreciate it and it should get lot of favorite points.
Dude! That's an awesome idea!
You should paint the windows over so muggles can't see the cache inside...
And put a mattress inside so cachers can rest after they find it...
And then ask walking by kids to help you find your lost puppy!

If you have any ideas for gadget caches let me know at ethangomm@yahoo.com
You have 0 finds and 1 hide. I don't thik you are experienced enough to make a gadget cache.

Check other listing sites. Open caching in particular has bee pushing for listings.
I just checked open caching for it, it's not there.

Bore a hole just large enough to take the preform into a log.
Hide it in the end of a tubular steel 5 bar gate.
Tie a brick to it and leave it in a pond/stream/lake so that the preform floats just below the water level.
Sand it, and then peel some bark off a suitable branch of a similar diameter and glue the bark onto the preform, then hang it in the tree where the branch came from - would be very difficult to spot if done right.
Those are all interesting
-
I sand mine, then apply a quick camo paint job.
I take a bit of stiff wire, wrap twice around the body, then up a couple inches, then over into a hook.
Instant hanging micro.
Thanks for the idea, maybe put it up high in a tree.

I found a hilarious one out in the open. By a busy road there was a button you push to signal the light to allow you to cross, but there was no crossing signals. I looked at it and laughed. It was held on with magnets.
