+dhsundance Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I was curious if anyone has ever used their gps or a cache to hide the engagement ring? Quote Link to comment
+dhsundance Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Well- the first search that I did used the word Proposal. That search came up with nothing. The word Engagement was much more successful. One of the stories I noticed was even from San Diego. But if anyone else wants to add to the subject I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Do event caches count? Ask Mopar and GeoHo then. "Has anyone ever proposed to their fiancee in a geocache?" If you mean just physical caches, then no, I don't have any experience with that. But two of my signature items conceived a litter of baby hamsters in an ammo can once. I don't know if they were married, though. Quote Link to comment
+SG-MIN Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have seen a multi-cache used for an anniversary present. A bit differant, but worth a mention. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I believe FootTrax left the engagement ring in a cache so the now Mrs FootTrax could find it. Quote Link to comment
wandering360 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Here is one from the St. Louis area. (GCQEM5) "PROPOSAL POINT". Quote Link to comment
+crystalndave Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 My husband would have liked to. It was our first day of geocaching when he proposed in the middle of looking for a cache. Since we had just started he wasn't sure how to put the ring in a cache or make up his own cache. This cache was a site of aa different proposal: cache page I would think it could be done, just give your sweetheart the coords early or someone will get a nice FTF prize! Quote Link to comment

Jokester Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Actually someone did that at one of my caches back in May. I felt privileged that he picked my cache to do it at. I understand though because it's at a really pretty site. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...fd-ac69f9eb16e7 Quote Link to comment

+TheAlabamaRambler Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Back when I was a Reviewer I helped a fellow set up a proposal cache. We collaborated by phone to get the listing up just minutes before the event, so that no one else would see it before her, and archived it immediately after. He used "Come on, let's get this FTF!" to get her to hunt for it. The cache had her ring in it and he proposed on the spot. Ain't love grand? Ed Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 But if anyone else wants to add to the subject I'd appreciate it. I proposed to The Sn gstress just moments after my One Degree of Separation event ended the night before GeoWoodstock 4. Some may call it an indecent proposal. I was on one knee wearing a coconut bra and Hawaiian Lei, with the ring in one hand and a verrrry STRONG margarita in the other. There were mannnny witnesses. I'm pretty sure I can never run for President now. We wouldn't have met if TXGA wasn't making a bid to get GW4, so I felt like the night before was the perfect time to pop the question..... Ummmm, she said "YES!" Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Back when I was a Reviewer I helped a fellow set up a proposal cache. We collaborated by phone to get the listing up just minutes before the event, so that no one else would see it before her, and archived it immediately after. Doesn't that go against the guidelines about temporary caches? Anyway...... As Lep mentioned, I proposed to Geo Ho at an geocaching event in front of everyone. The ring was in a decon container. I dunno what was scarier, carrying that ring around all morning while caching, or asking her in front of all those people. Quote Link to comment

+fm2f90x Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I wonder how a Geodivorce would go? "She got the house, the good car, the dog. I got my GPSrs and an ammo box, because it turns out she doesn't like Geocaching anyway." With that ammo box the "I Can Do Maintenance Checks All The Time Because I Now Live In A Tent 100 Yards Away From This Cache" cache could be placed. The FTF package? "The other half of my stuff!!"

GeoLizz Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Here's another one: GCG2K4. I don't remember the exact details, but the owner included the whole story in the cache. Quote Link to comment
