Coordinates On Pedistrian Overcrossing

[+rnlorna]

Hi everyone,

I've found 175 caches, and now I think I'm ready to hide one. I would like to do a 2 part multi with the coords for the cache on a pedestrian overcrossing. I would put a sticker somewhere in the middle of the overpass. This is just for foot traffic, but it does go over the interstate. It is a fun place to stand and watch the traffic below. I did a search and didn't see this particular question.

Thanks in advance,

A pedestrian overpass, unlike a highway road bridge, is generally regarded by geocachers as an OK spot because it's a place where people are expected to be seen. But please be sure that any sticker that you place as a clue is easily removable. That's because of the listing guideline about not defacing property in order to provide a clue or a logging method. A good alternative is a refrigerator magnet.

Thanks, that will work even better! I've seen clear stickers with bar codes on them and the lat long numbers underneath. They sure look professional (like they are supposed to be there) and I was wondering how I was going to make that. This will be SO much easier!

 

Now, to do the camo for stage 2.

 

Thanks!

This cache in Springfield, MO was part of a series of caches were clues were attached to, or could be seen from the pedestrian overpass. Although I didn't find this one, and it has been archived, I really enjoyed the trouble the placer went to for this series. Good luck!

A refrigerator magnet or a piece of duct tape with the coordinates written on it would work.

This all answers a question I had for one of my own cches. Thanks! I was thinking of puttind a micro magnetic key container on a pedestrian walkway next to a brigde over a river.

The answer may be different for a "pedestrian walkway next to a bridge." My prior post was assuming a pure pedestrian bridge, of the type that carries foot traffic across a busy highway so that neighborhood kids can walk to school, etc.

A friend of ours has a cache that uses a flexible magnetic square to hold some information to a metal post. Works great in warm weather, but in cold weather the plastic gets brittle and the magnet straightens out and doesn't stick flat to the metal like it ought to.

 

Anyone know a brand of material that stays flexible in all weather?
