New Possible Cache-Attributes

[+TeamRabbitRun]

I am bored at work today.

 

Here is a list of suggestions for new Cache Attributes, based on real-world exposures.

I think you'll find them all to be useful when planning your caching day.

Each is followed by one or more possible images to appear on the cache page.

 

• Strewn Garbage at GZ
  • A stinking pile of…
• Medical Waste - Stick Hazard
  • A hypodermic needle, stuck in a hand
• Vacation Cache
  • A palm tree
• Homeless Encampment
  • A shopping cart
• Enfuriatiation Cache
  • A head, with hands on either side pulling clumps of hair
• Mind-Reading Puzzle
  • A head, with floating question marks
• Community Maintenance
  • An image of a lined logsheet, with EVERY space filled in
• Water-Permeable / Rustable Container
  • An Altoids tin
• Non-Responsive Owner
  • A telephone, with ‘ringing’ sound marks around it
• ‘Soft’ Coordinates
  •  (Need a good idea here!)
• Ex-Food Container
  • Raccoon eyes
• Bridge Cache
  • A troll
• Private Property
  • A “Keep Out” sign
  • A set of handcuffs
• Post-Review Enhancement
  • The letters “ALR”
• Log Deletion Likely
  • The letters “NM”, with a red circle and a diagonal line
• Multi-Game Cache – Do Not Remove on Archive
  • An image of a QR code
• Hostile Neighbors
  • A dog’s snarling head
  • A baseball bat
• Bug Infestation Likely
  • An ant
  • A picnic basket
• Ammo-Can Cache
  • Logbook laying out in the open; no container
• Playground
  • A trenchcoat
  • A police car
• Camo Bison Tube in a Pine Tree
  • Taillights

 

Feel free to enhance the list with new Attribute and Image suggestions.

Soft’ Coordinates. A compass with a arrow head at each end.

 

LOL

Perfect.

I think you're looking for Infuriation.

 

Mind-Reading Puzzle   I'd go with Clairvoyance Required instead  Head is good, crystal ball?

(Need a good idea here!)

A compass melting a la Salvador Dali.

Mis-spelling "infuriation" makes me so mad.

 

"Clairvoyance Required" is much better, but you knew that, right?

Love the Crystal Ball.

The satire seems strong in the forums of late.

Love it. Recently 14 foot ladders have been a thing around Alberta. Seems climbing a tree is frowned on as you might actually break off a branch. Save your flames, I am 63 and climbed more trees then I care to remember. A Ladder of course.

Love it. I would see 'strewn garbage' as an ongoing invite to CITO with each visit.
There is a trail near me (Lead draw) with a cache half way up that mountain that is strewn with bullet shells, improvised targets, and trash. Otherwise, Indian mountain and 'base camp' cache are in beautiful areas.

This is called a mystery/unknown.   Most non-field mysteries would qualify. Like all these "easy" mysteries at D2 or even lower that are easy when you know what the CO was thinking and otherwise impossible. We have plenty of these.

[+EthisEthat]

A not available during rain/floods would be pretty handy.

 

What about a attribute for LPC? Like maybe a bored emoji or something.

 

But great list!

Cardboard containers ?     Curious about this.  Please explain.  Thanks.  

Most we know assume all containers are at least water resistant.  Some areas would never be able to go out if "rain" was a factor.

 - We simply use an umbrella when caught in the rain is possible.  Wish more would...   We don't purposely head out in rain.

Believe it or not, there are some people who've never seen a LPC hide.      

I now go by terrain ratings to steer clear, so know what you mean.

A lot of my hides are inside caves or deep under rock ledges so the container is more to keep the dirt and insects out than to protect the contents from water. In these types of hides, a non-waterproof container is likely an advantage since any dampness that does get in, perhaps from someone handling the cache on a wet day, will be able to quickly dry out after a few warm dry days.

I've never seen an LPC and probably never will. To the best of my knowledge, they only exist in the USA because lamp posts elsewhere in the world don't have skirts covering their nuts.

I was meaning that the cache is near a river or a dam which would make it dangerous to attempt during or after rain.

I had one like that, placed deep inside a totally dark wet cave that turned into a pretty serious watercourse during and for several days after heavy rain.

 

 

It had the Wading Required attribute set and a bolded warning in the description saying not to attempt it during or after heavy rain. The cache was well weighted down and survived for five years until an extra-heavy downpour finally washed it away.

There is a cache near me which involves crawling through storm water drains. There was a very serious warning to not attempt during rain, before or after.

Funny, the 'stinking pile of .....' would suffice for a lot of these!
