Favorite Photos Taken While Geocaching

[+Capt. Bob]

While bushwhacking my way to a cache I stepped over the log and found Bambi.  The little guy didn't move a muscle while I took a picture.  I went off and found the cache but when I stopped by on my way back to the car the little critter was gone. (GC9VRTM)

Your photo, Capt. Bob, reminded me of this photo I took while searching for a cache in the woods of upstate NY a couple of years back.  Like you, I stumbled upon the babe who didn't move while I took the photo, but got up and ran when I quietly tried to alert my husband nearby to what I had found (he was finding the cache a few trees away...)  https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2CY44 is the cache we were looking for.  June 5, 2020 is the date of my log for that cache.

Love some claustrophobia.

Slot canyon? Yes please.

Please, please, always try to add any nearby cache... with a GCCode, by instance.

 

Thanks!

This is the view from near lee737's new T4.5 cache GCA48A1 atop Alum Mountain in Bulahdelah, NSW, Australia.

We walked the ridge to see if we could get to the trig marker…. Saw the pinnacle and little cave and knew we had to place a cache. Didn’t have a good enough container with us, so returned 3 days later!

This is at GC91507 overlooking Berowra Creek (NSW, Australia). From left to right is Mighty Minions, Samuel737, lee737 and Banj5150:

 

 

That cache, published in 2020 and with 9 FPs from 14 PM finds, of course doesn't get an FP indicator in the app.

A visit to Mt Buller in Victoria. The building is a trig, but also I think a fire lookout. A cache too: GC38NAB

This was taken last Saturday from GC145ZP on Little Nellie Mountain in the Coorabakh National Park, looking across to GC1458J on Big Nellie Mountain:

This trundled by. The lines buzzed, warning it was near. I pulled my camera out of the bag and waited. It gave a 'hello' honk.

On a recent road trip. Tarra Bulga NP. It was a visit for a long distant multicache*, likely over a 1,000 kms long, and I had a lovely walk getting to the WP to answer questions, which I won't give the GC number for, as people need to work this out for themselves. However, GC6NHV7 is also there, which I had a DNF for as I was there on a weekday and this is only available on a weekend. The old rail trestle bridge is near a later WP.

 

* When I first 'stumbled' on this multicache, I didn't realise how long, but when I realised, I thought, why not, let's do it . I have done the first three WPs. All lovely, well chosen places to visit. As usual for long distance multicaches, which I have completed a number of (the longest, Canberra to Darwin), it often takes several attempts and some have taken years to complete. (And for ONE smilie, compared to some ALs finished in 5 -10 minutes and five smilies ) I like these long distant multies; so satisfying and more likely to keep me in the game than an AL.

GC372 Entered the cloud zone. I like it when the clouds come low. I grew up in a cloud zone landscape. Makes it hard to see though when driving.

After I found a Geocache at Bayou Segnette State Park in Westwego, Louisiana, I stop to eat lunch nearby (Segnette Landing).  Behind the restaurant is a canal and I was able to take this picture of an alligator.  Don't worry, I was a safe distance away.

I have a few new favorites, taken near https://coord.info/GC80WJB

The mountains in the distance are the Catskills...

One of my favorite pictures is at a Geocaching event at Greenwood Gator Farm & Tours in Gibson, Louisiana (near Houma, Louisiana) where I got to hold one of the small alligators.

My friend smudgepuss took this photo of me at The Crazy 81 (Challenge) - The Hounds of Love - what I love is that the picture makes it look like I’ve doing some new age tree yoga in front of a dark stormy sky, whereas what I am actually doing was balancing on my tip toes on a post behind the tree sort of holding on for dear life with one hand while trying not to break anything while I returned the cache!
