indoor caches?

[+IntotheWoods]

The description of geocache locations listed on the FAQ page states that geocaches may be found inside buildings. I have yet to see one! If anyone knows of any, I'd love to hear about them and where they are. (How do you find them with no signal? What kinds of buildings would actually be acceptable for cache hiding?)

It's a multi-cache, and the final coords put you at a small pub. Inside is a locked treasure chest (the cache). You don't actually use your GPSr inside any building on this hunt, though.

Sorry -- don't know how to edit forum replies.) The url turned out funny in my previous reply. The cache is called Nephews' Cache and the url for the cache page is: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=17985

Here's a good one in TX: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=9372 You don't actually know it's in a building until you get there. I figured it out right away, but some people are really stumped by it.

Urban Cache: Plagiarized sounds similar with an added twist at the beginning. Besides having to deal with unfamiliar cache territory, I found that the tall buildings make satellite reception iffy outside. Trying to do it without the hints is a real challenge.

Here's an interesting one in Columbus OH. Based On A True Story

 

As for finding it w/o a signal. In this cache the coordinates lead to the parking lot, from there one must use the hints to locate it.

Here is one we did that ended us up indoors. This was a very very clever cache. The GPS got us to and open area, and then you had to solve the riddle to figure out where to go. Once inside....more riddles. This was an ingenious cache. I loved it. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=12953

Here's one in Newark, NJ.

I knew what it was about before going but it should be pretty obvious when you get there.

Libraries seem to be the most popular location, as they are public and have many potential hiding places. Other public buildings such as City Hall might work if you are clever and get permission. There is one I know of with the final stage at a Forest Service office. And then there is a multi-stage cache that starts in an outhouse! I thought of putting one in a stack of ammo cans at the local army surplus shop but was afraid the prevailing attitude against so-called commercial caches would shoot that down.

 

The ones mentioned above are all physical caches. There are many opportunities for virtual caches within buildings. Some I've seen include a medical building, a car repair shop, a parking garage, and the Sears Tower.

This is a physical cache that is indeed located in a library. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=33728

 

It is a pretty tough find. The staff will give help when needed. The library is very small compared to most libraries so it's not impossible to find. It has a very unique container that works quite nicely.

Sure. When you cache in OtisPug area, you're gonna get something wacky. (HG3000 is the name)

This is one of a series that I put in a park.
