Night Caches

[+wandererrob]

I'm just wondering if anybody has any ideas for easily searching for night caches. They look like fun and I'd like to hit some.

 

I did a keyword search on "night cache" and only found 3 or 4 in my state. That was after looking through the 4 pages of results. And there may only be those 3 or 4. But since they don't exist as their own special type of cache, I haven't figured out a good way to home in on them specifically if they don't have "night" in the name.

 

A search for "night" yields more than 10 pages of results, some of which happen to be night caches.

 

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I love caching in the dark period. It always seems like I can find the caches faster because I don't get distracted by things I'd see in the daylight.

And caches tend to shine when you point a torch at them.

 

I love night caching. I've done quite a bit of it. It's a whole new game!

 

Remember, you can hunt most caches (not just night caches) at night. It just depends on how much you like being out in the dark.

There just are not as many "night caches" as there are traditional "anytime" caches.

 

Do a search of caches in your immediate area to find the ones near you, then sign up for new cache weekly notifications, so you know if a new one gets places.

 

You can ask in the regional forums of there are night caches near you, and you can check to see if a caching group is in your area, which can provide you with recommendations.

 

I have only found 2 night caches, and I agree, they are a kick in the pants!

Looking for caches at night in urban areas isn't too great though.

Can anyone tell me me what a glint tack is and the kind of place where I can get them? e.g. does it have 3M tape on the head, or something, is it home-made, etc.

 

I'd like to make a night cache in the country, and a glint trail, but all I can think of is bits of 3M self-adhesive tape stapled to trees, etc. Is this the right idea?

 

Is an ordinary cache symbol the right one to choose when reporting such a new cache. Or should it be puzzle, mystery, offset or something?

As for the cache type, might make it a ? cache so folks will take the time to read the description that explains that it's a night cache.
