+AKDisneyPirates Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 We are looking into starting our first cache and were curious as to what was the funnest item you found in a cache? or what was the funnest cache location? We want to make this a memorable cache. Thanks for sharing your stories. Quote Link to comment
+ky.m.guy Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Some of the most memorable caches we've found are unique containers. Use your imagination...I've seen fake rocks, stumps, sticks, etc. and they all make memorable caches. In my opinion, themed caches are not great. Asking to only trade items of a certain type (say a dog themed cache or a fruit themed cache) gets quickly neglected and the cache is not themed for too long before random items are traded. Nice locations (waterfalls, parks, streams) make a cache memorable too! LPCs (Lamp Post Caches) and micros in parking lots usually aren't memorable. If you want it to be memorable cache, use your imagination....if your first cache isn't memorable, chances are you'll come across a location in your geocaching travels that may be worthy of a cache! Just my thoughts... -Kyle Quote Link to comment
+Bullfrog Eh-Team Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Totally agree with 'ky.m.guy'. The most interesting caches we've found are those that had a description that almost forced us to go and see what the location offered. Waterfalls, views, and historical locations like abandoned villages tease us the most. 'Dying to be Memorable' (GCGQ9E by Amazon Annie) up near Huntsville has been the MOST intriguing cache for us to date. Challenge caches are great too; but some can be done at the kitchen table, and the actual hide could have been in your backyard. Take the time to research your hiding place, and tell the cacher a story of the significance of your chosen location Make your cache appealing to everyone. Personal locations, like 'George's second birthday spot' or 'Our anniversary picnic' may not be significant to others. Imagine you are visitor from another country. Would they want to search out your particular cache ? Edited July 23, 2010 by Bullfrog Eh-Team Quote Link to comment
