+reptlcal Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What do you think about a big cache that everyone can camo or modify as if it was also theirs. Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 in priciple, i think it's fabulous and funny. in reality you'd probably be asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 You could simply place a very large ammo can painted a flat grey. Leave a few sharpies in it so people could autograph the can. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If people have to remove it, it could be a problem, but overall it sounds like fun. I recall one cache that started out as a slip of paper in a Ziploc and each finder was asked to upgrade it in some way. The next added a pencil, then a logbook, then a better container, then trade items. It eventually became a well stocked ammo box. I don't think people should make a habit of caches such as this one, but in that one case it was fun and worked out well. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The Hermit Carabs and I came up with a interesting cache idea a few year's back. It would have to be a rather unique and probably remote hiding area. The idea was to hide the cache within 30 feet of GZ. The next finder could change the container, add camo, move the box (always within 30 feet of GZ), change the camo, change the verticalness(?) - you get the idea. I never have done it but they did. All came up out of a discussion on "cache migration". The mysterious way in which we cache owners can't find our own caches due to hiders moving them. Quote Link to comment

+flask Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 it'd get listed because it moves such a small distance at to be within reasonable gps accuracy each time. the problem with that, then, is that some folks would keep coming back and log a smilie each time. Quote Link to comment
CacheNCarryMA Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) Got change for a cache? (GCN9EF) by the hermit crabs is now archived. As StarBrand noted, a cache concept like this would have to be in a unique area. Interestingly, the cache is hidden in a conservation area named "Forty Caves".

+mamid Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 i got chewed out cause my cache was less than 20 feet from ground zero but not at ground zero. made me miffed to say the least. Quote Link to comment
+lacazg Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 You could make a multi-cache that people move when they find it. When the move the cache they put the coordinates to the new spot in the old spot. Its like a cache blob it gets longer and longer with each find. Quote Link to comment

But you couldn't list it on Geocaching.com. It would work well in a local forum or discussion group where people posted the latest update. Edited June 30, 2007 by Keystone Quote Link to comment
+lacazg Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 That would be a cool idea for a new cache website or cache type having morphing caches that change camo/size/location/etc with every find. Quote Link to comment
