Bad Idea.... geocaching and alcohol don't mix. Seriously reconsider this cache idea, I won't shoot it down but I bet a reviewer will

Hey look! I found a golf ball! And another! And another! Hey cool, A baseball! Hey over there is a tennis ball! ... What do you mean by "shouldn't we be concentrating on finding the cache?"
Ball count:
golf balls: 3
tennis balls: 2
baseballs: 1
footballs: 1 (off of highschool roof)

Today my dads first cache "have a blast" was muggled. At first I thought that some muggle had just taken the container until my dad explained what all was missing. The cache was hidden in a memorial cannon on our city triangle, today the cache and even the cannon was gone.
This is no simple task considering that that cannon is made of cast iron and that the wheels were locked and broken. Good news is that we got an E-mail from a crew of men who today moved the cannon to a shop to be referbished saying that they were stunned to find a cache stuffed down the barrel. We are just glad that our first cache is still safe and intact

I put forth Cap'n Buckeye. I would like to thank him for making my dad's first cache possible
NOTE TO ALL CLEVELANDERS SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
I think Cap'n buckeye should get the staff. He probably would need it to get our cache in place because its shoved down the barrel of a cannon!

Just wondering... Do you think a layer of duct tape would make it water proof... I picked up a nice roll of camo
Oh and by the way it would be a wood box because thats what I can make... not for looks

anyone? a little help here

Nerd Trail
my girlfriend's nickname for the trampled foliage that usually leads to an established cache, and the area around the fallen logs with no vegetation and packed dirt.
just one more, then we'll go eatI seem to say this on almost every caching trip.
meh, let's skip that one it's just a (micro, virtual, puzzle)no, the gps says it's over here, you're not even clo... oh you found it?I thought *you* had the pencil.lost satellite receptionmy GPSr usually says this, I think it means that it's turned on.
ooh look... that would be a good place for a cache!lol wheres my quote?

Congratulations Okiebryan on the job.
I was once offered a job mapping utility poles out west. I took a family member of some close friends out Geocaching, and he offered it before we got back. He basically said if I could run the Geocaching equipment/ software, the job wouldn't be much different. I was not able to take the offer, it sounded really cool, but I am enrolled in college working for a degree, so I need to stick with that.
Just a little bit hesitant because I want to explore all the career options out there for me. I have quite a bit of intellectual potential (so says the proficiency test along with the Gifted services for above average intellegence program at my school) I am interested in this field... but I am also interested in engineering, architecture, computers, robotics... heck im interested in way too much
Wolfbait, I am about 5-6 years older than you, and am taking computer aided drafting at the local community college. Drafting seems to be a pretty good career in of itself, but what you learn in that applies to a lot of fields, including architecture, surveying, landscaping, GIS, Mapping, engineering, you name it. Sometimes you can take basic drafting in High School, I did and it helped a lot. If your interested in those things, something like drafting might tie a bunch of those interests together, so you can go into about anything.
I worked for a short period as a "rodman" (Surveyors assistant) and it was fun. Surveying is like one huge mix between a multi and an offset cache.
Sweetness... maybe I could look into a job mixing the fields of architecture and surveying... That would probably be something to consider as a full time job for the future. Right now... I'm a kid and I'm going to enjoy it.

The cache is fine. It has all the information a cacher needs to konw they can dive right in just as the owner of the box intended.
When terrorists start placing false geocaching stickers on real electrical boxes with the combination to the lock or a key hidden in a nearby micro, I"ll reconsider.
Lol... you know electrical boxes are the next antrax... I'm sure they will get thousands of people who are stupid enough to break into an electrical box lol
-
And that was back before the sun rose on it own. I took twenty of us strong 9 year olds to carry the sun up the hill and launch it into the sky
oh and no offense to you just like making jokes -
I have an Idea for a cache... I want to make a box out of wood... do you think that I could somehow make the box water tight
-
I have a question... do you guys think that this cache is approriate... its not a real electrical box... just an imitation
<Quote> This is my answer to "no room for anything but a micro".

The sticker reads:
United States Geocache

He'll be more than happy to sell you one! Just tell him what you want.
for how much though... I can't really afford much...
you know how it is as a kidAre you old enough to push a lawn mower or use a rake? If so you should be able to earn the money for one pretty quick, and a staff you worked to earn can always be a source of pleasure and pride!
I had contracts from age 13 through high school to do yard care for neighbors. In the summer I would get up at 5 a.m., cut someone's lawn and have my money earned before the heat set in, during the school year I would do them late in the afternoon.
My parents provided everything I needed, but I had my own money to buy anything I wanted.
Good luck,
Ed
Thanks for the words of encouragement... as you probably saw in the other topic I'm thinking about asking the city for a job in surveying...

While geocaching with my wife last winter, I was gloating over finding yet another cache where she had already looked. She accused me of acting as though I could walk on water, to which I replied "I can. It just has to be frozen." She hit me with the ammo can.
Ohhhhhh.... ouch. Thats gotta hurt. Next time try the old "yes dear" reutine

I see a problem to this already... I am a teenager (young teens, pre vehicle)

My favorite quote comes from a geocacher's log, I forget now whom, but she was asked by a muggle
"Y'all aren't doin' anything stoopid, are you?"
That question pops into my mind in all kinds of geocaching situations!
Ed
Lol... us noooo... never... nothing stupid like whacking through a whole bunch of wood to find nothing
-
I have a question... I have seen people out and about with gps surveying equipment looking around and also looking very much like they didn't know what they were doing... do you think they would hire someone with no job experience but a love of geocaching?... *Cough* me *cough* also what do you think their policies on teenagers *cough* me *cough* working... It's not at all dangerous work or anything
-
I am wanting to experement with building a cache... any do's or don't's?
-
please consider me for it... I just love this avie... I got it 3-4 years ago...
Edit: oh just realized this things over sorry
