Night-Time

[Guest Qtrade]

If you have a sense of adventure you will have to do night time geocaching. As you pull up to the "stairmaster" in El Cajon, CA the setting is that of a scene in the Exorcist when the priest was at the bottom of some stairs with a broken neck. It is a creepy place, and only a cache in a cemetary would be more challenging. Go by yourself

Wow - reminds me of when we used to visit the actual Exorcist stairway in Georgetown (D.C.) at 3 or 4 am after barhopping on M street. Creepy place when the moon is full and the streets are quiet (rare occasion in Georgetown). That would make a cool virtual cache...

Cache hunting at night CAN BE SCARY!! This cache ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=8667 ) was bad enough for us. Read how others after me saw people in the bushes, maybe doing something illegal. Now THAT would be scary!!!

I can only think of one thing to call GeoHunting at night.......Hardcore!

is the one I did. Got to the launch point just as it was getting dark. Apparently there was a path the cachelayer used.....but, being unaware of that, I started slogging through the boonies...and being in a marsh, it was a blast...pitch black, 10,000 banana spiders, brush thick enough to were a machete would have been nice (much less a bulldozer) and legions of icky things that felt a need to keep coming round to me. Had a stream to ford, then the marsh proper (thankfully water came up to just above knee level only). The day before we'd arrested a survivalist nutcase about two miles from the same cache area who still had a few attack/mad dogs roaming loose. Always an incentive to keep one on their toes.

There is at least one cache (and probably more) where you HAVE to go at night, or at least in the evening:

I haven't tried it yet, myself....

I was going to recommend http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=4327 , but it's been archived with no explanation. Pity, too; I was looking forward to visiting it when I get to Oregon.

 

In a couple of weeks, I'm planning on visiting the Blair Witch Cache < http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=2897 >; maybe I should go at night. D'ya think I should take a video camera? :-)
