That's kinda cool. I thought about stashing a series that was plotted to make a simple smiley face. Upon completion the cacher would see on the GPSr. this is a bit more elaborate, eh.

This topic has come up before (I can't seem to locate it). Here are some samples of some pretty cool GPSr-art.

 

I canoe a lot and, in lakes, it's interesting to watch you boat-track-breadcrumbs; they sometimes are arty.

 

I keep telling myself I'm going to try to paddle a perfect circle someday, without watching the track screen. Then I'll add two eyes and a smile and log it as an art cache.

I do that all the time, lift the skeg and paddle on one side. fun stuff

Depending on the diameter of the circle, it's a lot tougher than it sounds, especially if there is current or wind.

 

When I accomplish the perfect circle, maybe I'll try an equilateral triangle.

I hid a cache about a year ago called GPS Art where you're led around a very large parking lot collecting numbers off of light poles.

 

When you're finished with all 31 waypoints you have enough info to go find the cache, as well as a picture on your GPS. I've asked people to upload images of their track logs.

 

Here's one of the better ones someone uploaded:

It was back when that psycho was blowing up mailboxes, but I can't find it either.

We're spending our free time hunting down tupperware hidden in the woods so we can exchange McToy trinkets, and that guy has too much time on his hands?

Here's my best effort so far:

 

 

You need a plan and a really, really big playing field to get any kind of detail.

This reminds me of geoglyphs. The best known, the Nazca lines, were created centuries ago, without GPS (as far as we know). I own a travelbug, carved to represent one of the drawings.

I can't see it.

 

Of course, I usually can see the young woman, but not the old one and I can never see anything in thosae posters where you squint at them until the hidden pic pops out or your eyes do.

Not TOO obscure, I got it

[+sbell111]

Really?  I see it, its a weasel!

Well, I see where it says 'Look, I drew a weasel'.

 

Kinda looks like a fist to me.

 

BTW, I can never see anything in clouds, either.

Wow, that's actually pretty cool. Though, I never liked playing with the etch-a-sketch that much to want to BE the little thing that moves to draw the line.

 

I'm just worried about when the turn you upside down and shake!!!

Oh. I did one of those, too

 

[+sbell111]

Now I see the weasel!

[+ChinCache]

I drew a crooked line many times

[+GeoForse]

 

"This drawing was made by walking in a straight line along the beach with Louis, the dog with attached GPSr, over-willingly retrieving an object being thrown in alternating directions. The same action was repeated along a parrellel path on the way back. The shape is about 850 metres long."

 

From the same site. I think this is so cool where you have the design being drawn by cooperative effort by dog and man...

edited to figure out the image thing.

Reminds me of Molsen, a black lab I used to have.
