+thenoyd Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have a vulture sculpture in my front yard. I would like for people to find it and take a picture. How would I go about setting this up. Quote Link to comment
+BigAl437 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This sounds like something for a Challenge, which I am not really into. You can find info out on GC.com about them. I'm not sure where you live, or what's nearby, but the other thing you could do is hide a Geocache nearby and give it a name like vulture or something. Then on the cache page you could mention that people could take a picture of the sculpture and post it IF they want to. Most Reviewers don't like you to tell people to do something, which is what your origianl post states. Just to let you know that most people are really leery of trying to find a cache in someone's yard. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
+BMndFul Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 You might think again about have the general public find you or your belongings. While most cachers are very nice....it is the general public...you might soon be missing your vulture. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
+MontyFam Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah I'd approach this one with caution.... Quote Link to comment
+terrkan78 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 You have several different options. You could hide a geocache near the scupture (assuming there's not another geocache too close, etc.) but on a geocache you can't require that people take photos - photos are strictly optional. Or you could set up a "photo challenge" - it's ok to require photos on challenges (only you can't really do anything about it if someone doesn't post the required photo). The vulture does sound like it would make a unique challenge. Unique is good. This link will get you to the challenge section and from there you can set it up if you like: Link. And, yes, like others have said, you do have to consider that you'll have total strangers traipsing about your front yard if you set this up. Most geocachers are good people - but, being human, there's always the possibility someone won't treat your yard/sculpture with the respect it deserves. Quote Link to comment
+Ambient_Skater Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If you're going to put the sculpture in your yard anyways I don't think it'd be at any extra risk if you listed it as a Challenge. Click here and make sure you make it a Photo challenge. Quote Link to comment
