A Virtual Cache


Lumbo-Tire

Recommended Posts

I have planned on a virtual cache, that points out a local school's time capsule. Because of the area, a regular cache isn't feasible right now. I am also planning on using this point as the start point to another future cache. I am told I should ask others opinion on this before it is allowed to be used as such.

 

Therefore,

I agree with Renegade Knight, just any capsule isn't that interesting.

Virtual Cache Posting Guidelines:

A virtual cache must be novel, of interest to other players, and have a special historic, community or geocaching quality that sets it apart from everyday subjects. Items that would be in a coffee table book are good examples. A flagpole, manhole cover, tree, etc., are poor examples...

What makes geocaching different from just looking for a waypoint, is that it should involve a journey and a hunt. If the destination would be an interesting visit, and a cache absolutely could not be hidden near by, make a bit of a game out of it.

 

I just made a virtual cache in a famous "Hollywood" cemetery. Needless to say, hiding a physical cache there would be in bad taste -- and it's private property -- so it had to be a virtual. Take a look at it, and maybe it will provide some help in making your possible cache a good one.

I've found a few virts that were just time capsules. I liked them because I had no idea there were that many around here, and I just like time capsules (I've said before, time capsules are just four-dimensional geocaches). But, using it as a starting point for a traditional multi would be better.

WOW...FTF. Found cache buried under a concrete slab with a bronze plaque. Contained a lot of old stuff. No log book or pencil. Took yellowed photograph and left McToy. Had trouble rehiding it as well as I found it. Could the next finder bring some readymix?
