+flask Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 can anyone give one or two examples of caches that are something like a bison tube in a big rockpile? Quote Link to comment
+humanloofa Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have not seen any yet. My question would be why hide a bison tube in a rock pile there is room for an altoids tin. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Would you settle for Film Canister? If only they were named "Micro in a rock pile" they would be easier to find. The one I was thinking of was a film canister in a rock pile of landscaping rocks. It was a numbers game. A bird had left a deposit on a rock. That one rock stood out entirely on accident. That's the one the cache was under. No where near were we were looking before. After a rain, that clue would be gone. Another one...I'd love to tell you about it but I never found it. Another rock pile and micro though. Edited October 25, 2005 by Renegade Knight Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Last one I looked for, a tree fell on the hiding place, the bison tube fell well into the rock pile, and no one ever found it. This does not strike me as a very good idea. Quote Link to comment
+clearpath Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) can anyone give one or two examples of caches that are something like a bison tube in a big rockpile? Well, if you really want to cook their noodle ... take your bison tube and stand in front of the rock pile. Now, take your coordinates while standing in front of the rock pile. Next, take your bison tube and throw it in the middle of the rock pile. There, you're done. The cache is well hidden. Edited October 25, 2005 by clearpath Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 no, no, no... i want real examples. something with a gc.com waypoint name. something i can link to in a log where i say something like, "well, at least it's not a bison tube in a pile o' rocks..." p.s. i have a really teeny little bison tube and a big honkin' boulder field in mind...

+5¢ Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...5a-2529c008f986 I believe this one is too http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...d3-4f4d27f15256 They aren't bison tubes but close enough. For more details bate me with a question and I may follow up with some details Quote Link to comment

+Criminal Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Look at it this way. If someone threw your car keys into a rock pile, would you enjoy looking for them? Would I enjoy helping you look for them? I would enjoy helping you look for your car keys much more than some lame bison tube cache. Quote Link to comment

+Airmapper Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've seen what you want. (GCQWHP) Sorry, no link. If I tell you about it I'll completely spoil this cache. I doubt your in the area though, so I'll PM you the details. Quote Link to comment

I lost a racquet ball container in a rock pile that way. A squirrel could find it but not a human. I lost the stylus for my Palm the same way. I was looking for a cache in a rockpile and pulled out the Palm to grab the hint. I didn't stick the stylus back in tight and it slid out and into the rocks. Sad thing was that I could see it, but there was no way I could reach it. With over 750 finds, I have yet to find a cache that was a bison tube. Must not be a big thing in my area.

+JohnnyVegas Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 You could put a tube in a Bison , but then it would be a traveing cache and those are not allowed anymore, besides, know one would want to retreive it anyway Quote Link to comment
+HugoBear Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Eewwww. Thanks for that mental image. I'd rather look for a micro in a rock pile. Quote Link to comment

One would be decidedly easier than another. Best bring some gloves and a Really Big Shovel. Quote Link to comment

+budd-rdc Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Slightly Off Topic: I've found a fake rock in a rock pile before. No link will be posted to protect the innocent, but most of the locals know which one I'm talking about. The container seems to be missing now, but who knows? Even if the hider posts spot-on coordinates, he or she should take extra measures to prevent the container from being dislocated. Otherwise, this is just another needle in a haystack Quote Link to comment

She is not going to HIDE a bison tube in a rock pile. She is trying to find an actual cache that is a bison tube in a rock pile to use as a (bad) example. Flask doesn't do lame caches, AFAIK.

I like Flask though, Flask rocks. So a pile of Flasks with a bison tube would be a poor hide in my opinion. I’m too tired this morning to go back and try to figure out where I was going with the other post. I need medication, stat. Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Whats the point of this thread again????? I see nothing wrong with a nano cache in a rockpile, as long at it is betrayed as such in the cache page. Some people enjoy a challenge. Quote Link to comment
