+geodarts Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Virtual caches are my favorite for extending the game into some amazing areas. What are your favorite photos of your favorite virtuals. Sentinel Dome Incan Salt Pans One Giant Step Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Your first photo reminded me of our recent trip there: A View of the Giant's Staircase 1 Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Whoops, my photo is from an earthcache. We didn't so the virt because we didn't have the time. Quote Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) This is near a virtual cache in a cemetery in LA (MM is not the subject of the cache). Many other stars are also here. Edited May 26, 2014 by GrateBear 1 Quote Link to comment

+Ringrat Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I've discovered a few very cool spots and views courtesy of virtual caches. Here are just a couple: Wilcox Cap, the view: The Snail, in Venice (not a great picture of the whole tower): kunst in een boom in Amsterdam, a piece of art in a tree: Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I spent yesterday afternoon hiking in the Wichita Mountains, taking advantage of what may be the last warm weather for a while. Revisited Calibrate and Third Highest Point in Sooner State last night at sunset, just after logging Bonanza! On the way to Bonanza! -- rock scramble A little fall color on the hike back out Sunset from Mount Scott Edited December 1, 2014 by hzoi Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 One more -- could double up with the night photo thread, but figured I'd put it here. Shot of the 3-state corner monument at Coloklakan on a starry night, used my hiking stick as a monopod (I hollowed out the top and glued in a tripod thread for my camera) and used my headlamp to light up the monument.

Mr.Yuck Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The Virtual is actually a nautical item on display on the Port Huron, Michigan waterfront, but from the site of it, I caught the sun rising over Lake Huron. I had a pretty crappy camera though, this was like 2006. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Drombeg Circle - a site full of grandeur, mystery, and the kind of aha moment that makes caching worthwhile. Quote Link to comment

+geodarts Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) After visiting earthcaches at the main attraction, we explored more Natural Bridges near Angels Camp in California. If it weren't for this virtual, I might not have known to go further. We scrambled over rocks, following a creek and a small path lined with poison oak. We had the place to ourselves, although we met numerous people coming down the trail as we were leaving. Another reason to come to this area early.

+geodarts Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 We might never have visited Clifton, Arizona, if not t had not been for Hoosegow. But then we would also have missed being invited to see the old Union Hall (from the 1983 strike) - the mural there and the owner's collection of paintings by a very talented African-American artist. Who would have thought to find this kind of collection in a mining town that has probably seen its better days. Quote Link to comment
+threenow24 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 On the way to Kelly-Jack, a now-archived virtual deep in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hiking to Lyons Ranch in the Redwods National Park, another place that I may not have visited except for this game and the way that virtuals have expanded my experience - a stunning walk across a high prairie ridge, blanketed with wildflowers, overlooking deep forested valleys, to the remains of the ranch.

+hzoi Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Tomorrow’s House from Yesterday - 2 Had to switch to grayscale for the frontal view of this cool house, as I was shooting into the setting sun. Nice blue sky in the detail shot, though. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 The Peter Iredale wreck is an iconic fixture on the Oregon Coast. It would have been on our list regardless. But this virtual brought the wreck to the game we play. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 The Solar System -Sol at the Grouse Ridge lookout tower has got to have one of the best outhouses in California- unless you were using it at 2:00 am and stumbling around. 1 Quote Link to comment
+barefootjeff Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 GC7B9MJ, the Figure Eight Pools in the Royal National Park south of Sydney, Australia. The logging requirement on this virtual is to post a photo of yourself in the pools, the trick is it's only accessible at low tide and with slight seas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

+allycatM Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I didn't have my (actual) camera with me, but this is still a decent photo. The virtual is called Maryland Heights (part II). https://coord.info/GCGZV1 Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Teakettle Junction took us to the Devils Racetrack, where the rocks move on the Death Valley playa, and the Lost Burro Mine. Edited November 9, 2018 by geodarts Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Our second trip to the Standing Stones of Calanais on the Isle of Lewis - my favorite megalithic site, even better than Stonehenge. The virtual focuses only on three of the locations, but it will get you started. i fantasized about buying a nearby house that is for sale and coming here every day through the seasons and light. At the end of my life I would have either learned something or not. Edited July 15, 2019 by geodarts 1 2 Quote Link to comment
