The 2 Dogs Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I have submitted a new cache at Geocaching.com that has whipped up a bit of a stir. It involves a new concept to the game that almost certainly will be followed by a wave of similar ideas. Because of this the cache approval has been held over by geocaching admin for their discussion. When and if the cache is approved I would like to get some opinions on the concept from other geocachers. It's called Picture This. (1) The riverbank. One example of new concepts was the virtual or locationless cache. Virtual caching has taken the sport in a direction that many, including the administrator, seem to feel it should not have gone . So Geocaching.com are right in being cautious of any new ideas that come along. My idea is not virtual but does invovle more homework and a little less reliance on the GPS unit. Anyway see what you think. Hounddog. Quote Link to comment
+erik88l-r Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Picture This Looks like fun to me ~erik~ Quote Link to comment
+Jennifer&Dean Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Neat idea! I love air photos! a local cacher has done something similar with regular photos and coordinates, and they aren't as easy as they seem. (GCA914 & GCAFAA) -Jennifer Where am I going? I ain't certain. When will I get there? I don't know. All as I know is I am on my way! Quote Link to comment
+Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 What a great idea. Unfortunately we dont have a plane at our disposal immediately but have found a couple of good hills etc. Since the concept is so good we thought that we could adapt it a bit to suit. Hope you dont mind!! Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 That looks pretty neat and I think there shouldn't be a problem with anything like this as long as you need a GPS to get to the final cache. The only question I have is if you don't know the area and have no idea where the picture was taken, is your only option to drive all over until you see it? ---Real men cache in shorts.

+EraSeek Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Looks like fun. Might have to put your heads together with other cachers, maybe use some tools on the net. Quote Link to comment
+fairplay Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Great idea, We thought about something similar, since vandalism is a real problem in my home own, stashes are often removed, stolen, broken, so we have to check our cache quite often. So your idea may help us in the future to create caches to do not need so much maintenance. bye hello Quote Link to comment
