A Nutty, Fun Multi-cache Idea

[+Sparrowhawk]

I just got a fun multi-cache idea. I wish I had the land and the money and time to build it.

 

Permission is given to geocachers to step on private land for this cache.

 

Stage 1: you find yourself acquiring a golf club at this stage. You are told to keep it thru the rest of the stages.

 

Stage 2: Good lord... it's a miniature golf thing near the owner's house! Get that little golf ball into that difficult place, the clown's mouth, or whatever. Once you do that, the miniature golf thing pops up coords on an LCD screen.

 

Stage 3: Good gracious, who put a miniature golf thing in the WOODS?

 

Stage 4. OK, what kind of evil genius comes up with miniature golf thing WATER HAZARD??

 

Stage 5. Rube Goldberg would have loved this one... hit the golf ball into the miniature golf thing, it hits a bell, a carrot drops out, and along comes a goat to eat the carrot. The coordinates are painted with non-toxic paint on the side of the goat.

 

ETC!

 

If you had the too-much-money, the time and the land, what kinda insanity would YOU add to this wacky miniature golf course/geocaching adventure to make it even more fun?

I would love to see something like that. Seems most of the caches around here are pretty standard run of the mill. Although taking you to some beautiful places. Sure would be cool to see something a little out there like that though.

You could always have the goat expell the coordinates when the carrots' nutritional value is thru. Add a clue...."bring rubber gloves"

Hmmmm... Try this:

 

Stage 1 - Coords lead to a hidden supply of dead golf balls. Note inside says "Carry one golf ball to (coords of stage two).

 

Stage 2 - Insert golf ball into hidden tube. Weight of ball raises flag with coords to stage three, and also drops ball into storage container.

 

Stage 3 - whatever you desire.

 

Maintenance consists of retrieving balls from 2 and returning them to 1.

Or you could have a well camo'ed tube leading from 2 to 1 to return the golf balls to their origin. Would require a slope of course.

Stage 2 - Insert golf ball into hidden tube. Weight of ball raises flag with coords to stage three, and also drops ball into storage container.

... at which point the flag drops again before giving time to write down the coordinates.

 

or

 

... and flag stays up, cacher forgets to reset contraption, and no one else needs to drop a golf ball.

There's a way to do this, but I'm not posting a drawing or anything.

 

Hey, it was an idea, like "hide stuff in the woods." Cachers are clever enough to come up with infinite variations on a theme.

You wouldn't have to retrive the balls, if Stage 1 was near the rear of a driving range .. heheheh
