+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Not every beautiful place requires a hike. Some beautiful cache locations can be found in the city. Please post your favorite urban cache photos. It would be great if you'd include the GC number or link to the cache. I'll start with Chickasaw Gardens GCTFPX, which is a breathtakingly beautiful park located in central Memphis right next to the Pink Palace Museum.

+Tavisman Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think we need one from the other side of the pond. Here is a view of Bewdley, England on a frosty morning. This view and similar can be found when completing the GC15RQH BSF2 - a town trail multicache. Quote Link to comment

Dinoprophet Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Mackinac Mooch Tip O' the Thumb (and to show that it is urban...it was a micro attached to the yellow rail) Ranger Boot Camp (these are actually taken a little ways from the cache, but in the same zoo) Better Than Bread Crumbs! (another zoo. This inukshuk is at the cache site) Rowsell T. Merrill's Vision Head On Over (I haven't actually looked for this cache yet. The image is from my waymark at the same location) Quote Link to comment
+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow! You guys rock! These are great photos. Someone here has a tagline that says "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." I think these photos definitely show that everyone here packs a bit of the beautiful in their cacher's gear. Here is another from downtown Memphis, right near our Pyramid: Ramsses' Tomb (If you're ever in Memphis and enjoy puzzle caches, this is the one to go for.) Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I hid The Elves are Easily Overlooked to take people to a hard-to-find scenic overlook in a hilly city neighborhood. It's a micro that's 20 feet from the parking lot, yet the cache has a three page photo gallery and appears on four "favorite caches" bookmark lists. Here is the view of downtown Pittsburgh from near the cache site: Quote Link to comment
+Raenne Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) These are replicas of the Portas de Cidades ("Gates of the City"), a monument in the city of Ponta Delgada, on the island of Saint Michael (Sao Miguel), Azores.

+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Just returned from a trip to Chicago and enjoyed almost the only geocaching I've had time for since August. Chicago is a beautiful city and we found a cache in the center of that beauty. So here are my shots from Down in Front (GC1PTQM) View from the Cache City garden near the cache Red tree against white building Sculpture in Millennium Park (near cache) Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yeah, those are really beautiful urban location photos, that's for sure. Too bad that a couple of them are surrounded by total gang ridden high crime slums. And yes, I know this because I have personally been there. Quote Link to comment

The Great Falls of the Passaic certainly qualifies as a beautiful place in a gang ridden high crime area. Going there at night is not a good idea.

+Shop99er Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 View from my cache at Kerry Park in Seattle, Washington. In all of my travels over the years, this is my favorite view, daylight, dusk, or full on night. Quote Link to comment
+Winstonsdad Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I didn't see a single Wal Mart parking lot LPC in the bunch. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Looking downward from the Empire State Building at skyscrapers so close together you can't even see the ground: Times Square on a quiet morning: An icky green pond near The Castle in Central Park: I posted a bunch more pictures from the NYC trip to my website. Here's Canal Street in New Orleans as seen from View Carre: And a swampy grove in a nearby cemetery: In Honolulu, the site of my 4,000th find was in the coolest cemetery I've ever seen: Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 An icky green pond near The Castle in Central Park: Aw, it's not that icky green. This was taken in July, when we were able to visit "The Castle" for the second time. Incredible view from up there. Beautiful pictures btw, DavidMac. Quote Link to comment
