+slammer47 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) I need your help. If you know of any geocaches next to or on giant objects, please let me know about them. Right now I only have about 13 caches bookmarked that I've found or heard about from others. I'm sure there's tons more out there like it. Just flip through this bookmark list to get an idea on what I'm looking for... slammer47's "giant thing" cache bookmark list Example Pictures: GCHR2P Giant Egg in INDIANA.

+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) You can check the Waymarking category Ginormous Everyday Objects. Most of the waymarks posted there have geocaches nearby. Edited April 16, 2009 by SUp3rFM & Cruella Quote Link to comment

+slammer47 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 You can check the Waymarking category Ginormous Everyday Objects. Most of the waymarks posted there have geocaches nearby. YES!!!!! Thanks! I had no idea this Waymarking list was out there. It will definately help me build up my giant things bookmark list! Can't wait to see which ones already have a geocache themed around them. And thanks to BlueDeuce for the giant fying pan. I added it to my list. Everyone post more pictures like that with a link to the cache in reference. Quote Link to comment

+deercreekth Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks to this thread I now know what the Great Vandalia Dragon is. It showed up in a PQ along my route to St. Louis last week. I'll have to go after that one next time. My only exposure to Vandalia is the Wal Mart and maybe one other place with a gas station, so I was expecting it to be a Chinese restaurant or something.

+slammer47 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I thought I'd post some pics to highlight some additions to the bookmark list either from suggestions of my own searching. Hopefully posted photos will draw more attention to this forum topic and more suggestions from people all over the world for giant item caches they've found. Keep those suggestions for giant item caches comming!

+kc9gbo Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Was going to mention the World's Largest Penny, but I see it was already added. Here is one in my area: World's Largest Six Pack, GC1MRNZ (Wisconsin) and you can't have a list of the largest things without the Ball of Twine! GCG3Q3 (Minnesota) Quote Link to comment
+AggieTeam Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 In Michigan, GC124N7 - this is an Earth Cache called Castle Rock, but it has a giant statue of Paul Bunyon and Babe, the Blue Ox out front which you must pose in front of (among other things) in order to log a find.
