+Ecylram Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Adventuresome Caching Couple seeks out-of-the-ordinary cache for long-term relationship Turn ons Creative containers Creative hide locations Things that make you go hmmm Something different Turn Offs Lamp Post Hides Cedar bush hides and the ilk. Camoed film canisters in a tree Very high muggle traffic Leaky containers Fuzzy coordinates Unmaintained caches Grumpy CO's Particulars It's time to take it to the next level. After many meaningless encounters, and the occasional meaningful encounter, with other's caches we've decided we wish to start a long-term relationship with a cache of our own. To qualify you must be unique or at least rarely seen. Size is not important but you must be appealing in your own unique way. Lamp Post Hides need not apply. Please respond with a description of yourself and why you stand out above the common cache. This will not be a monogamous relationship, others will follow in their own time. A successful applicant will enjoy a wonderous experience with many happy cachers. So, any suggestions for a quality first hide? Something you've seen that really stuck out as unique or particularly fun in a traditional hide? Quote Link to comment
+birder428 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 One of my favs was one we found when we first started caching. It was an ammo can, rigged to play "Baaad to the Bone" when the can was opened. As a newbie cacher, that certainly startled me. But, I still smile when I think of that one! Quote Link to comment
Skippermark Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 LOL. Funny post. I was about ready to remove it for spam, but then I read closer. Container is important, but I think location trumps container. If you can have both, then you have a winner. Nothing like going to a great spot and going, "Wow! I'm glad we did this cache." Location does not always have to be a scenic view, but sometimes "cool" things can make cachers go wow too like an unusual structure, an old building or something like that. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 LOL. Funny post. I was about ready to remove it for spam, but then I read closer. Congratulations for the promotion!! And yes, I do notice who's name is missing. Actually, this is a test to see if you'll scold me for being off-topic. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you don't like high muggle areas, then you are missing out completely on some tremendous caches. More's the pity. You have my sympathy. Gratuitous photo from one of my caches: Quote Link to comment
+terrkan78 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Responding to Personal Ad – C4C: I am a royal pain to create, but I am but oh so worth it. Cute piece of wood, trim and svelte (think 8” diameter, 12” long). Hollowed out to accommodate a cylinder-shaped water-tight container. Top of log chopped off and reattached with a hinge to expose my innards to those so inclined to look. Stuck out in the woods amongst the trees. My positive points speak for themselves. My downside is the trouble I am to make. Beauty doesn’t come easy, you know. Signed, Stumped in Oregon Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) If you don't like high muggle areas, then you are missing out completely on some tremendous caches. More's the pity. You have my sympathy. To add to that, some cache locations are worth visiting even though you may not be able to sign the log. I'm guilty for sometimes being too focused on the hunt and not on the location. High muggle traffic actually gives me a chance to sit down, wait it out, and enjoy the scenery.

+kwcahart Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 There is a cache in Alice, TX that is still my favorite. It isn't mine but it is a beautiful cache. It is super hidden right out in the open!! It is in the middle of a park and a part of the history of Alice. The name of the cache is "Alice's last dance". It is a treat! Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Responding to Personal Ad – C4C: Hello C4C, my name is The Etch-O-Sketch Night Cache. Should you choose me, you'll find our relationship quite challenging. First, you must leave the comfort of your car, hoofing into a wetlands habitat populated by snakes, wild hogs, feral cattle and, (when the water's up), alligators. A quarter mile hike will get you to the starting point, where you'll follow reflectors through some particularly nasty terrain. After bushwhacking for 7/10 of a mile, with your tracklog activated, you'll find a preform with coords to the next stage. Bushwhack another quarter mile to the second stage, where you'll follow another 7/10 mile long reflector trail through the swamp. At the end, you'll find another preform with instructions, telling to look at your tracklog to discern the number you just drew, Nazca Line style. You'll also get instructions regarding some simple math that needs to be done with that number to locate the final. My owner's track log: Quote Link to comment
