caches on a map that draws a picture

[+TXHooligans]

just thought of this.. haven't seen it yet since i'm new to geocaching...

 

are there any caches that purposly make a picture when viewed on a map?

 

it would probably be difficult to find cache locations near the coords to make the points on the map, but it'd be just as good an idea as some others i have seen here.

I recall a series that spelled a word when viewed on a map.

There is a series her in Dallas/Ft. Worth called the DFW Smilie Project. It encompasses the whole metroplex and surrounding areas to create......wait for it.....WAIT FOR IT.......a HUGE Smilie face on the map. I would provide a link but you should be able to find it in the hide/seek a cache feature. Sorry....:/

thanks..

Deleted because someone thought it might be a spoiler for their cache.

 

Sorry!

I was looking into doing a puzzle / mystery type cache and have 5 stages. Stages 1 through 4 would be on 4 corners of the county (its a small county) and then in the 4th cache there would be a note instead of coords to the 5th (final) cache that would say "X" marks the spot. The final would be where a line would be draw between the other 4 caches to make an "X" on the map. I'm still working at this and might only use a town instead of a the county.

Once, while caching in MA, I tried to paddle my kayak and spell geo in cursive writing on my GPS, it was a little windy, and I couldn't quite keep the track. I couldn't watch the GPS while I was paddling, but this is what came out. It was harder than I thought it would be, with the wind. Maybe I should have tried it larger:

There are several (if not more! ) threads on this subject here, but as you may have discovered, it isn't a subject that is easy to search for (or else I would have done it for you). But yeah... there are a lot of them.

 

And then, there was Luke Helder and his Minnesota Smiley Face series...

A friend did a series of geocaching Peace Points to create a Peace Symbol when viewed on a map. It was fitting for our area of Northern California.

Probably the best cache that I've ever seen! But I cannot say any more.

Two of my night caches have the seekers following reflectors through swamps, with their tracklogs on.

 

On one, they draw out the number "42", and at the end of the track they are given some math instructions to manipulate the number they drew into the final coords.

 

On the other, they draw a giant arrow that points at the cache.

Check-out "The Big Dipper" series of caches in eastern PA, west of Wind Gap, PA.

 

(The eighth star in the picture, next to the bowl, is one of mine and is not part of the series.)

Damned colorblindness.

 

There's something in there. I can sort of make it out.

 

Is it a unicorn? Did you make unicorns?

 

Its unicorns, isn't it?

- And I remembered to place my Polaris Apparatus in the bag for this Winter - just in case.

My series X never, ever marks the spot (8 traditional caches, 1 bonus cache) shows a X on the map. Center is GC1DWTD.

Check out the gallery for Geo Earth Art Challenge by King Boreas. In particular, check out bflentje's excellent contribution.

I just grabbed one out of the group - check the maps.

 

Heart of the desert GC1F6XA - 21 caches.

 

BaseBall Diamond - GCGAY7 - 21 caches

 

Scout series - GC1T2J3 - 52 caches.

There are two I know of close to where I used to live. Sadly, they were not there when I lived there:

Wow, I think you made my husbands day when he saw that "42" for your night tack hide! I'm assuming that number was carefully chosen?! Now we might have to visit someday just for that!!!

Naturally! As the answer to life, the universe and everything, it just seemed appropriate.
