A quick poll

[+Spraginator]

What is your favorite geocache type and why?

Considering that actual polls need permission to post here, I will assume that you are simply starting a topic of conversation, and not actually taking a poll.

 

You ask a very difficult question, but generally, any cache that elicits a pleasant surprise, be it a surprising view, a surprising bit of history, a surprising style of camo.

Any of em i can find!

[+Lil Devil]

Anything that takes me to a nice location that I wouldn't have visited otherwise.

[+docsigma]

I haven't found many caches, but so far, the best way I can describe my "favorite geocache type" is any geocache where I literally say "Whoa!" outloud when I find it.

[+dfx]

The one that gives me a smiley

[+Mick-n-Nick]

A cache my family will seek with me...without complaints from the little tykes! (Believe me, these can be few and far between at times )

[GOF and Bacall]

The one that gives me a smiley

 

The smiley doesn't do it for me. I want a genuine smile.

[+Spraginator]

Thanks for your responses. I was more looking along the lines of "traditional, puzzle, muti, etc".

When it's done right I'd say the Letterbox Hybrid is my favorite cache type.

But most are done incorrectly - no stamp in the box. Or done poorly - a stamp that has no tie-in to the theme of the box or the location, just something the kids didn't want anymore so they threw it into a cache and called it a letterbox hybrid. If done right they are my favorite - a stamp that matches the theme, ideally a one-of-a-kind handcarved stamp image, next best thing a commercial stamp that matches the location or theme.

 

My second favorite cache type.....the Traditional - large enough to comfortably fit at least one small travelbug, in a watertight container, in a nice location, D/T levels not more then 3.5, with a CO who cares.

My favorite is probably the "Event" type. Second favorite would be the Traditional.

+1 well said, that is my fav right there.

I like traditionals the best,especially when the camo is well done. I like event caches too.

I suspect the OP wants to know what TYPE of cache you prefer. While I agree with others that I do like any type of cache that gives me a smiley, I am particularly fond of webcam caches.

Hands down, a good multi. It's fun to see a CO "work" an area and use the saturation flexibility. We also like the traditional series leading to a mystery cache for the same reasons, but on a grander scale. A good multi can offer an afternoon of fun w/ the best finds per gallon.

[TheCacheSeeker]

Interesting, I wanted to make this topic too.

[+briansnat]

Any cache in a pleasant or interesting location. Why? Because I like pleasant and interesting locations.

[+SwineFlew]

Any caches that require a hard hike.

[+captnemo]

Anything that takes me to a nice location that I wouldn't have visited otherwise.

+1 and I don't care if it's a box or a virtural

[+TeamEpik]

well realy like all the caches every thing from micro and up. they are all fun

[+roziecakes]

I like traditionals, challenge caches (not an official type), events and earthcaches the best

[+StarBrand]

Take me somewhere [scenic, historic, little known, interesting, otherwise cool] and include some kind of [walk, hike, ride, drive] and then tell me why you brought me there. After that any cache that is nearby becomes a bonus.

[+gsmX2]

A virtual because I can always find them.

[+lamoracke]

A virtual because I can always find them.

 

I don't know, I DNFed a virtual in Idaho once. Learned you had to find a physical thing to give you the coords of the actual virtual. We could not find the physical thing.

 

Personally I like Wherigos best.

[+uxorious]

My favorites are the ones I can take the dogs when I go.

[+DonB]

One that's large enough that I can trade swag.

[+OldLog]

Anyone well maintained and cared for a raity

[+BAMBOOZLE]

I like a bit of a hike and a secluded search area....neat containers, great views, and history add to the experience.

[+A & J Tooling]

Anything that has me scratching my head after a few minutes wondering where the heck it's at.

[+Thrak]

Ammo cans in the country with a great view or other reason that makes for a great location.

 

Virtual caches with a "Now THAT'S cool!" factor.

[+teamtnt60s]

Mrs team and I both like the old cemetery caches. I know we've been having some issues with these, but to us, we love'em.

[+KBLAST]

I actually love the Wherigos. I have to be honest, though, that I like the one I created more than the ones I've found. I love the idea behind them and see lots of cool potential. Too bad they are so hard to create and execute well.

[+WRASTRO]

A nice walk, a well thought out placement and an appropriate container. I am pretty easy!

[+teamajk]

My favorites are puzzle caches, particularly the "solve at your desk type." I get almost as big a rush out of figuring out a hard puzzle and getting "success" on a geochecker as in finding an actual cache. It's just a different type of "I found it"! The possibilities for solving puzzles are endless ... it doesn't bother me to work on puzzles for caches I'll probably never find. I can work on puzzles in countries all over the world that I may never visit, puzzles for caches that have been archived, or have terrain levels I'd be incapable of managing. I can work on puzzles when there is a foot of snow on the ground, or it's pouring rain, etc. I'm very happy when I am able to make the find on a puzzle I've solved, as it means I've had to go that extra mile to get it. Thanks for asking!

I think the name might give you a hint The kind I like best of all are multis that take you on a nice journey (bikable, of course) and show you interesting things along the way. We did one Sunday that took us past multiple examples of a local woodcarvers work, including his workshop, and ended with a decent size container hidden in a Wildlife Management area that we had never stopped in before. Great 25 mile ride out and back, one "smilie" but lots of smiles!!
