Night Time Geocaches

[+WeR3]

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about a cache, actually a multi-stage, that is designed to be located at night. I'm not going to be specific at this point because I'm still fermenting my ideas but what do think about a multi-stage cache that is a little easier to find at night than in the day.

 

thanks

I won't go for it., No way!

[+Confucius' Cat]

Because you aren't in my area

 

I would LOVE it. Go for it, Dude.

Multi stage night caches are very common in Europe. Most of them use reflectors to mark the way or the stages there you will find the coordinates of the next stage.

Some nightcaches use electronic devices that light up if they are illuminated with a flashlight or use a laser pointer triggered by an infrared remote control to show you the cache or a stage.

Hell yes, I love poking around outside at night. For those who aren't used to it, it can make a familiar area seem like a whole different world.

 

Sounds like great fun...

I especially love hiking park trails at night (where legal). You see many neat things that you would never see in the day time, like glow worms fer-instance. So go for it. And turn out the lights once in a while during the hunt.

You should go for it. There are other caches like you propose that use reflecters to lead you from place to place.

 

As you set it up, consider what it will be like at night. Watch out for dangers. You don't want to kill off too many of your fellow cachers, do you?

[+Confucius' Cat]

And be sure that people being there at night is legal. Check carefully for any posted or unposted restrictions.

 

Another very important thing to consider is what will the search activities look like to muggles? We live in very paranoid times.

Night Caches are great! WE have done at least 5 and really enjoyed them. Here is a great one in Jacksonville, FL. GCNGHD - Alien Wormhole

I just did my first night cache tonight, and it was really cool! I should say, my first night cache that was designed to be a night cache only.

 

I only wish I'd had a chance to set one up first. Now I have to think of a different twist on it if I want one of my own.

Night caches are great!!! There is one in Land Between the Lakes called "Flashlight Required" The local caching club (KTAG) had an event just to go to it. I had done it before they went and had a blast!!!

I have created a night cache based on colours of lights, and other things that you can only see at night. See GCHBH0. Have fun!

I just did my first one last night. My whole family really enjoyed it. We agreed it had been one of the most entertaining caches yet.

 

We need more of these!

That sounds awesome!!! I have yet to do a night cache, but I want to. There is one somewhere around here, I think 20 miles away...

 

Everywhere is walking distance, if you have the time
