The Artful Dodger Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Came across this cache in the 'Events' section of the geocaching Main page. I dig the originality of this! Well Done fellas! Quote
+beatnik Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Very cool! While it is not near as interesting as the Fox Hunt, I've received good feedback on my UHF-Tulsa Tour cache. I hope to do a few more multi-stage caches of similar vein. It's just finding the time to set them up. beatnik Quote
+GatoRx Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 Beatnik - that is an awesome cache! I loved the movie when it came out, and still watch it whenever I get a chance (although Comedy Central cuts out way too many funny parts.) If I'm ever anywhere near Tulsa, I know what I'm going to do. Many people don't know this, but the turtle is nature's suction cup... As for the Fox Hunt - that idea is great. I only wish I could set up something like that... Quote
enfanta Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 We don' need no steenking badgers!! Could someone explain to me how the Fox Hunt worked? It seems that there was some actual chasing going on-- how did the geocachers track the fox?? "Nothing says 'I love you' like the gift of a spatula." Quote

Ok, let's try to explain this: The "Fox" was a car with a telematics unit unside it. You sent a SMS (text message) to a certain number, and it SMS's you back with it's location, speed and direction of travel. From there it is up to you to follow/intercept the fox. It stoppped a total of 5 times on it's 4 hour journey in order to let the "hunters" catch up. Once you caught it, you had to get a "magic numvber" that was displayed on the dashboard. We managed to catch it after 1 1/2 hours and it was an afternoon well spent. Email me if you want any more info.
