+SuperMadCachers Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I'm trying to come up with some unique and interesting ideas for hiding a cache so I thought I'd see if anyone has any good examples of some unique Cache Ideas. Anything? There's bound to be some neat ideas out there. I know that there are different kinds of caches but I think there's other possibilities out there that aren't yet discovered. Even if it's spicing up the standard cache to make it a little more interesting, challenging, exciting, whatever. www.larsenfamily.com family@larsenfamily.com Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I have several that have a twist or two in. Some are virtuals that are rather difficult to solve. While one of my favorits is Pumas Red Ribbon Overlook - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=43977 And #25 is a little different. When done a Cacher usually finds several caches.

+The Shorts Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I have this cache and this cache. Both of them are just a little twist to a multi and a traditional cache. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 The problem with this kind of thread is that people don't like to give away their cache's 'twist'. I'm quite proud of my Caesar's Library cache. Your results may vary. Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. Quote Link to comment
Team Bohica Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Just last week I released the Rock that Rolls. It's a moving cache disguised as a rock. It matches the local geology quite well and fits in anywhere. It's been placed in parking lots, greenbelts, near sidewalks in plain sight, etc. Makes for some interesting caching. It started across the street from my house just a couple feet from a sidewalk right in front of a school. It's so unremarkable that every kid that walked past ignored it. That was my test. I knew that if anyone was gonna pick it out it would be a kid. They notice everything at ground level. I was able to keep an eye on it and even see the first cacher grab it. Another fun thing about it is a cacher can find it more than once and claim finds every time as its position changes. I can even go out caching for it and claim legit finds. In just the week since I placed it it's moved over 60 miles all around town. Some cachers have said they're gonna place it in other cacher's yards. Wouldn't that be a surprise, waking up and seeing on your nearest cache page that the nearest cache is 36 feet away? The Bohican -- Welcome to nowhere.nu. Now go home! Quote Link to comment
+georgeandmary Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Read the Admin note... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=27537 It's a one of a kind and they won't even approve another similar to it. Can't get more unique than that. george Pedal until your legs cramp up and then pedal some more. Quote Link to comment

+bitbrain Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 This one may be unusual. George may even be interested in it since he inspired it in this thread. Quote Link to comment

But seriously, I read about it somewhere else. There was a full web site dedicated to rocks that had been carved and left places. george Pedal until your legs cramp up and then pedal some more.

+Dread Pirate Roberts' Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I thought this cache was neat--planning to do it real soon: GhostCam We also did a cache at night in a "haunted" abandoned train tunnel. *shivers* Never again! Quote Link to comment

Dru Morgan Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Take a look at this one. It involves a magic trick with the 'reveal' at the final coordinates. I suppose with some creativity, you could make another one like this to suit your taste. Read some of the logs to see people's opinions upon finding this one. Half my life is spent explaining to Christians why I am a deadhead. The other half is spent explaining to deadheads why I am a Christian. -Dru Morgan Quote Link to comment
+Zartimus Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 The Ionian Tusk of the Daywalker is a musical one with a vampire twist, you have to pick the coordinates out of a guitar melody in an accompanying MP3 file. Mr. Bones Aerial cache uses a zoomable online aerial photo map of the city to find the cache location. Flying Saucer down - UFO Crash site features a UFO caught on radar that disappears in the forest. You use the last known direction and speed to find the cache. The Enigma uses a java version of the German Enigma to decypher the directions to the cache. Quote Link to comment

+TAT Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 ... it isn't very likely to be replicated in the desert! The cache waypoint is only accessable about 4 to 6 times a year, so, rather than make it too dificult, close enough counts. I'd like to make it a regular cache, but I don't think it's posible since burying a cache is strictly against the rules. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=52877 Quote Link to comment

It was fun making the UFO, It's two garbage can lids bolted together over two PVC tubes (for engines). Someday I'll get off my butt and post some "The making of pics". Two weeks before the cache went out there was a UFO sighting in the area of downtown Ottawa. I'm pretty sure it was a balloon, but hey the Hype was up! Quote Link to comment
+Camo-crazed Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 there was my first cache stuck which was in a bird house with the door painted on Quote Link to comment
