Ever seen a cache on Google Earth?

[+ZSandmann]

This thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=177770&hl= and the logs on the cache in question got me thinking. Has anyone ever been able to see a cache from Google Earth. I don't mean the tree or building or what have you, but the actual geocache. You can see cars so it seems a large container could possibly be spotted. If you know of one please post the coords so we can all take a look.

 

I know this can be difficult as it is hard to determine the age of GE images, but there must be one out there somewhere. The cache above I could not see, but the image was low res in that area.

I have got one you should be able to see, but I just checked and the tree cover is too thick. Oh, well...back to the drawing board.

would have to be a large and OLD cache as the google earth images are several years old. Also it would seem to be muggled easily

Ok, I've got one, but you may call BS on me. It's a very large Igloo cooler painted black and it's quite fuzzy on google earth. (GC10YRH)

Yeah! I most definately see it, dude! Its that one black pixel that looks just a little more "Igloo-y" than the other black pixels, right? Just to the right of that tan pixel.

Oh, man, that's giving me an existential headache. I'm just a pinkish pixel in a sea of other misguided pixels.

Hehehe,

 

I don't see it idasam, but that doesn't mean it isn't affecting those pixels a bit. It was placed in February of this year so the first question would be how recent that section of the image was updated and unfortunetly I have yet to find a way of finding that out.

If they would of updated the google maps before TDE disabled this cache, you could off seen it. I visited it and it would of been the first cache seen from space!

Never mind that has anyone seen a geocacher on Google Earth?

Using image enhancing software, I was not only able to reveal the Igloo, but that there was a visitor at the cache, too!

It isn't a cache yet, but it should be!

You must be referring to this one?

It's a virtual... but I can see it from Google Earth...

Google Luecke. Not a cache, but a very visible work of art.

OK, I was curious enough to look at it, and it sure is a giant pink bunny. But I am still curious about one thing, why? Did somebody just want to make a bunny visable from space?

Now I see. I found a teddy bear in a cache once. If only it had been a couple thousand times bigger it would be art instead of merely being cute.
