+Pharmadude Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Saw some interesting fake rocks for about $9 at Superstore today. They are hollow (open on bottom) and range from 1 to 2 ft in height in a variety of designs. Anyone had success with these for caches? Quote Link to comment
+Chillibusher Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) I saw those a few months back at Superstore in the spring but they wanted $19.00 at the time. I picked one up, and almost started walking to the till. Changed my mind after reconsidering the price. I think they would make a cool cache hide! I might go grab one and then hide it on the river! I can see the hint on the cache page now.....It is amonst the rocks Edited August 4, 2005 by Chillibusher Quote Link to comment
+Tidalflame Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I've gotta check that out... Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Well, certainly a better price than the $25CDN that the official geocaching.com micros command here. Plus shipping. Mind you, I like these micro stones. I'm curious about how weather-proof the superstore rocks are? I've had plenty of fake rocks and garden stepping stones *literally* disintegrate in my garden after one season. Nothing left but a chalky powder - now that would be one painful cache maintenance (new container AND having to shopvac the woods... ) Quote Link to comment
+Chillibusher Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The rock I saw looked to be made of vinyl. These were not micro rocks either. The one I saw stood about 2' high. It looked real enough too. There was no bottom on the rock, it was just hollowed out. Big enough to fit a good size lock-n-lock under. Quote Link to comment
+Icenrye Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm a bit familliar with the fake rock cache. I have one! Tidalflame knows about it! I found my rocks on ebay. $14US for 3. I'm writing a segment on urban camo caching for episode 5. Stay tuned! To see the rocks -WARNING SPOILER!!!- click here. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
+Pharmadude Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 They look small, but it is hard to tell from a photograph. Are they the same dimensions as the ones mentioned in my original post? Quote Link to comment
+Icenrye Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 No. They are micro sized. Quote Link to comment

Heh, I was thinking "What fake rock cache?" until I looked at the photo, at which point I immediately knew which one you were talking about. It was a fun cache. The GPS wasn't working so well, so we were climbing all over the big wheel thinking it might be hidden on that! Quote Link to comment
