The_Brownies Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Had a great weekend caching, and I came accross some of the most ingenious cache containers. One cache was in a hollowed out stump where the bark peeled off to reveal the cache. Another one was in a sprinkler head, and yet another one was in PVC pipe that was stuck in the ground that resembled a drain. What about the rest of you? Quote Link to comment

+Jennifer&Dean Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Seen those.... copying some of them, with our own twists. Got new ideas recently also.... but can't tell until they have been placed/found a few times. Favorite container that I have heard of is a drilled out rock. Can't wait to find that one! -Jennifer Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. (JM Barrie) Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 For regular caches, I thought that there were only two types; ammo box and water-logged. Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. Quote Link to comment

TahoeJoe Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I found a cache recently that was placed in the worst container I have ever seen. It was made of flimsy plastic with a cracked lid that didn’t seal. If they bought it at the dollar store, they paid too much for it. My personal favorites are the ones placed in the large ammo cans.

The_Brownies Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 Found a micro in a paste container that you turned a screw to extract the log. Another Micro was in a little bullet looking container that you can get from REI. Bison capsule Key chain The capsules were not very hard to find, but they were cool. The other interresting idea was an plasic electrical junction box that you unscrewed the cover to get to the cache. Very expensive container. Around $8 - $13 bucks. Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Looks like the Brownies hit some of the boxes I've seen in Yakima. In addition to what they mentioned, I've seen some pretty good stuff over here in the greater Seattle area. One cache was a container that had a screw on lid ath the bottom and was shaped like an Angel...kinda hard to describe. You have to see it.Another was a pressure cooker...incidently the same3 cacher owned those caches. Also, some tupperware containers fitted into logs and similar. Oh, one other one was very flimsy...a couple of hospital bed pans rubberbanded/velcro-ed together.Contents were toast...soaked, etc. Another was a micro that looked like a face plate for a street lamp post. Sneaky! Quote Link to comment
