+JohnTee Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Tennis Ball Canon Cache To complete this cache you must bring a can of hair spray and a lighter. Coord's will take you to a vertically mounted pipe, capped on the bottom. Small cache sits inside the pipe, near the bottom, on top of a spacer raising the cache above the bottom (area henceforth to be known as the combustion chamber). Note small hole drilled in the side of the combustion chamber. To obtain the cache, spray a 2-3 second burst of hair spray into the hole in the combustion chamber. Immediately hold lighter to the hole. After retreiving the cache: Clean out your shorts Sign the log Place cache back in the pipe !!!CAUTION!!! Do not place any body part in front of the large opening on the top or the small opening in the combustion chamber during the ignition process. !!!CAUTION!!! JohnTee Quote Link to comment

+LeoGeo Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I think this might be pushing the limit as to what Moose Mob will allow but here goes ... To make all those FTF cachers work really hard for the prize... take a small bison tube micro cache, wrap it in bacon and feed it to meanest dog in the neighborhood. Post the micro with coordinates that match the dogs back yard. The cachers that logs the FTF is truely a compulsive, numbers only, lovable, geo-nut. The cache name would have to be "Paul Lazzaro." Extra FTF points for the FTF'er who could tell you why it was named that. Quote Link to comment

+JohnTee Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 This sounds like a Potato Gun ... these things will shoot a potato through the side of a house. clearpath, that is definitely like a potato gun, only it's the predecessor. My dad was in Viet Nam in '66. They used to take the old style beer cans (they were steel, straight up and down sides, with a rim on top and bottom) and cut tops and bottoms out of three, poke four holes in the top and two in the bottom of the fourth and tape them all together with black tape. Squirt lighter fluid in the front, insert tennis ball to the first joint, give it a good shake and apply flame. They used to stand at one end of the bar and shoot down a stack of beer cans at the other end. Had to let them coold down after a couple of shots as the tape would heat up, get soft and cans would fall apart. I've plans for a potato gun and have to make one sometime in the future.

+Alice Band Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) We have been experiencing shortages on film cans lately around here And here in the UK too. I think film canisters may become an endangered species due to the rise of the digital camera. We'll have to start looking for alternatives Back on topic I know that there are caches so deep underwater you need specialist diving gear to reach them! So my impossible one would be a cache at the bottom of Loch Ness Edited February 12, 2006 by Alice Band Quote Link to comment

+BillsBayou Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Does this mean you're planning even more twisted and mischevious caches for us? I'm working on one right now (in between Katrina recovery projects) that involves a puzzle so complicated, it'll truly be a 5 difficulty. I posted the story at LAGeocaching.org (and here) for the cache. It'll tell you something about what to expect. I've generated the 20 pen and ink drawings, but I haven't drawn the maze. That in itself will be complicated because of the nature of the type of maze means some serious hand-crafting on my part. Speaking of hand-crafting, it'll involve concrete, carpentry, electrical, and art. (I couldn't figure out how to include plumbing). I've been working on the design of it for the past three weeks. I'm even going to have First, Second, and Third place commemorative Bill's Bayou coins for the first three finders. I'm hoping for a reaction like "Holy Cow" or "I'm gonna KILL BILL." S'anyway, long as I'm here, how about a cache with an ammo can full of rotten eggs in front of an ex-husband's house. The one he moved into after hooking up with that 20-year old secretary walking away from a marriage of 25 years and four kids. We'll call it "Trophy Wife Trophies". And a HOLY COW goes out to everyone who's come up with some hillarious caches. I especially like the one full of laser pointers near the end of a runway in the shape of a 4 foot cammo tube! Youse guys have twisted minds. My kinda folk. Quote Link to comment

I'm surprised no one has said a cache buried in a cemetery yet. What about a fake tombstone in a cemetery? This wasn't close enough for you? Well, theoretically, you could search discretely for a fake tombstone in a cemetery. It would be a bit harder to do so for something buried in the same place.

+Jennifer&Dean Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 We were talking about this idea last night and my brother reminded me we have an hollow plaster human skull we could use.

So just place the skull/cache in an out of the way pile of debris and watch the fun! Quote Link to comment

That would be our cache, #9 in the Psycho Urban Cache Series, named Psycho Urban Cache #9 - Hot Glowing Tribulations, waypoint ID GCTA5E Yes, it is weird, and kinda gory, but the chances that anyone could suffer serious harm from the radiation or from the toxic chemical waste at the site or from the friable asbestos in the building, or even from the hantavirus present in the rodent droppings therein are rather small, so long as all each seeker wears their (required) protective suit and powered respirator (or SCBA apparatus.) Rather, the greatest danger is that someone could take a fatal or near-fatal fall trying to descend (or ascend) the 25 foot vertical shaft leading to the (now-abandoned) fuel rod storage room if they do not know how to properly use climbing gear. However, if you want a cache that is difficult and challenging in other ways than sheer physical hazards (although they are there as well), you may wish to check out our Psycho Urban Cache #10 - Derelict Grunge Acropolis, GCT9NT. To be sure you get an idea of what I am talking about with this cache siting, you really should read the warning in bold orange on the cache listing page. However, to get a really good idea of what we are talking about, nothing beats an actual visit to the location -- what you will see in fifteen minutes is worth ten thousand words of warnings.
