Cloak_N_Dagger Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Friday, I was driving by a cache that I have placed in a local park. I noticed that they were mowing the grass, so I figured I better go check on the cache and see if it had been damaged. The cache is one of my homemade "rocks". It's about the same size as a football. (just a little flatter) Well ... as I approached the area of the cache, I saw a man with a weedeater buzzing around right where the "rock" should be! UH-OH ... as I got closer I noticed he was VERY close to the cache. REAL CLOSE !!He was trimming around it with the weedeater! Just like it was a real rock! I just waved and walked on by. I've had a few compliments on the "rock", but this was unbelievable! I'd say it passed the Camo Test! I went back later and looked the cache over. The weedeater had chipped some paint off, and knocked a small chunk of the "rock" off. I'll give it a quick paint "touch-up" tomorrow and it should be good as new! -------------- Changing some folks mind, is like trying to herd cats. Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I had a freind try to find a small camoflaged tupperware cache in a local park, he had never tried geocaching. The area had been recently weed wacked and he could not find after 30 min. So I went looking for it and it was in the log I had placed it in. The weed wacker had knocked it out of the onto the field. He must have walked over it, even I did, My girlfrind found it. I guess the camo works on that one. Quote Link to comment

+BigJon Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 That is to funny. I think I would have been laughing so hard at that guy. I will be trying some camo ideas soon and seems I saw a thread that had some pics of camo jobs that were really cool. I have some ideas and can't wait to get started. I should be placing my first cache this weekend. Quote Link to comment
Cloak_N_Dagger Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 UMC, I don't have a pic of that cache stone. I do have a couple of another one like it. The one in the picture is hidden in the woods. Top view of "Rock" Back side of rock and cache container Hope the pics work. -------------- Changing some folks mind, is like trying to herd cats.

Captain Chaoss Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 pics opened ok for me. Nice rock. how'd you make that one? Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the one less traveled, and that is how I found the cache. Quote Link to comment
