+gof1 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Everyone that has hidden more than one cache has one they feel is a cut above the rest. I have hidden caches that are for the challenge, for the fun, for the history, or for the scenery. My favorite is one in a peaceful quiet spot with a great view.GCZ7TD So the question is, which of your hides is your personal favorite? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Not at all. I'm only average when it comes to hiding. My best 'owned' cache is one I adopted. Swinging Bridge Edited November 29, 2006 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+Super_Nate Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I've got a lot of caches that I have hidden that I am proud of, and it is really hard to pick one of them...but I will go ahead and say this one. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Everyone that has hidden more than one cache has one they feel is a cut above the rest. So the question is, which of your hides is your personal favorite? I have a personal favorite among my caches in just about every catagory. My most favorite cache for just a totally cool location that many finders gush about is: A Claustrophobic's Nightmare/Just Say NO to Crack My favorite cache for the logs it gets: Quantum Leap (Fizzymagic's logs are among the best.) My favorite hosted Event Cache: (Sheesh it was nearly a mega-event. Close to 400 people showed up. ) One Degree of Separation That's approximately 300 regular to large caches containing 12,500+ micro caches. I think it may have been the largest micro proliferation in geocaching history. Edited November 30, 2006 by Snoogans Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) I have a few that I really enjoyed placing. My wife and I had a blast placing this one a few weeks ago. Its barely 1/4 mile from the road but it was a pretty challenging bushwack and it took us close to an hour to go that 1/4 mile (actually our track was closer to a mile as we made our way around cliffs and dense stands of mt. laurel). This one was one of my first and its still one of my favorites. A somewhat rugged hike in a beautiful area. Edited November 30, 2006 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 My favorite is Old Dunlap Ghosts - it is a genuine Ghost town now used as a pasture for cows. A Close 2nd for the shear beauty is History Before Art Class Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 My favorite hide is Etch-o-Sketch http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...4c-77e91e5cd89f It's a night cache, roughly 3 miles through a swamp, mostly bushwhacking. As you follow the arrows, you create a track log in the shape of two giant numbers, like Nazca Lines, about 1/2 a mile tall. At the end, you get instructed on how to use those numbers to locate the final. Quote Link to comment
+Sioneva Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 My favorite hides are Chalogical #1 and Chalogical #2, mostly because the puzzle needed to find each was so much fun to make! And unique, or at least I hope. But I like how my rock caches make people tear their hair out, and the scenic caches are just neat places to visit, and... Okay, okay, I'm done. Quote Link to comment
+gof1 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Wow, what a great bunch of caches. Makes me want to run up the credit cards to chase them all down. Thanks everyone for posting them. Now, what else ya got? Quote Link to comment
+DocDiTTo Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Of all my 18 or so hides, there are 2 that stand out, both in my mind and in the logs... Uh-OReviewer, I MissPlaced my cache! and High & Low The first is a challenging hike (or bike) up a mountain for a minimum round trip of about 4 miles depending on whether you take the road up or a boundary trail straight up. Elevation change is about 1100 feet. It was hidden in honor of 2 Pennsylvania Volunteer cache reviewers, OReviewer and MissPlaced. I upped the stakes a bit by offering to buy them dinner if they scored the find, so far only OReviewer has collected. The second cache is probably my personal favorite, because it's a very challenging hide for another reason -- part of it is hidden deep inside a cave. The terrain is very challenging, and the hides themselves are none too easy. It encourages teamwork to complete the find, and pushes folks to go farther physically and mentally than many caches do. The puzzle is a necessary evil to keep the unprepared from just trying this on a whim and biting off more than they can chew. Doesn't get many finds, but the logs are always enjoyable.

+Team LaLonde Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 We love to read the logs from this hide - Bicycle Race. It's seldom found but gets good comments: "an adventurous find", "Holy crap! A most worthy cache", "great camouflage job fooled our eyes ", "Now how do we get to it?". This is why we hide caches, right? Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't know about my best, but I like to think about my latest as "The Geequalizer." It gave a few different people an edge for FTF. Get A Life Bret Quote Link to comment
+gof1 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 There's a bunch more great caches. Thanks for sharing them. Doc, that puzzle will keep me up tonight. CB, I didn't ask for your best, I asked for your favorite. That said, you have an interesting sense of humor. I remember that from my childhood, it was the show my sister watched when it was her turn to controle our only (B&W) TV. Quote Link to comment
+nutlady Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I would say that the most I elicit from my cache hides are a great big YAWN. However, I do have one that I am proud of . I wish I was smart enough to highlight it...maybe it will do that all by itself... GCQ9FZ Its not been found by many, though it is directly over a major highway through California. I spent literally days on this cache, even though its a dagnab MICRO. A Micro was ALL that it COULD be! What cracks ME up, is that after spending So much time matching paint color, the county has painted over the actual cache, twice! Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 One of my first caches Joint Venture At Crater Rings was an experiment. This cache would not be approvable today. Still it's my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment
+gof1 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Here you go Nutlady, GCQ9FZ Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 There are several of mine that I think are pretty good, but this one which is in the back country and pretty hard to find is probaby my best.Fall Creek's 2nd Falls Quote Link to comment
+Wile E. Dragonfly Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I personally love all of my caches... But my favorite for uniqueness in the hide (at least the first stage) is http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...ec-82d58cbc598f My favorite for overall... the why I put it there thing, is my first hide. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...46-4bc287bce760 We don't tend to place easy caches, so we don't hide as many as other people do, and we put more energy into the ones we do hide. So really, I like them all... Quote Link to comment
+emurock Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 So the question is, which of your hides is your personal favorite? My favorite is my first. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...df-fbc4407dc83f Quote Link to comment
+tands Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 We have three that we're pretty proud of: Ferocity and Cache Ewww Too and last but not least Scrambled - T of TandS Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 This is my favorite so far: The Dark Tower VII Of that set, I like #4, the 5/5, best. I think this new one will be fun, too, if anyone can ever find it. The Hobbit Note: This is a Members Only cache. Quote Link to comment
+olbluesguy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 This one is reported to be my best best fun one... Hit The Bricks and this one is my most evil hide......Oh No O"BG Quote Link to comment
+KKTH3 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hard for me to come up with one cause we like all of our caches for different reasons. Instead I'll break it down to two favorites - one traditional cache and one puzzle cache. Passing Time became unintentionally better simply due to the presense of a local resident that most of the finders have reported in the logs. I've talked to one of the finders that took a picture with his phone - I must convince him to add the photo to his log!!! For the puzzle cache, most cachers in this area don't care for them so they are rarely sought out, but I think this one is in one of the better locations in town - a photographer could have a field day at the final location. Anyway, if you ever plan a trip to Central Wyoming, do the puzzle for Comfortably Numbers in advance for the coordinates and make this a stop on your caching adventures. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We've got four or five that we are proud of. But our personal favorite is: Clueless: The Revenge of Andy Bear Quote Link to comment
+gebu Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I had the most fun hiding GCY8WQ I hid it in the company of two fellow cachers, the weather was perfect and one gets to do this rope traverse: This one gets the most enthusiastic logs: GCJ6X4. Quote Link to comment
+gof1 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Some of these caches make my longest hike look like a park & grab. These are amazing. Thanks, everyone, for posting them here. OK, who's next? Who has one they are particularly pleased with? Quote Link to comment
+OHMIKY Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) there are a few that I think are pretty nifty, but my hands-down favorite so far is OHMIKY's Scarabaeus Croceus - GCYPJX A puzzle multi and the launching site for a TB with a related theme. It isn't a great climb or a spelunking adventure, but... Edited December 1, 2006 by OHMIKY Quote Link to comment
