Playdough as a cache item...?

[+jollybgood]

I went to find a cache today and when I arrived in the area the container had been pulled out of it's hiding place by some kind of animal. There were chew makes around the lid.

 

Inside were four or five mini canisters of playdough. The incident reminded me of one of my own caches which disappeared last spring (it had been destroyed by a raccoon and scattered. In that cache I had put some playdough.

 

I wondering if cetain animals find the playdough appetizing and attracted by the scent.

 

Thought it might be worth mentioning.

Food, Play-doh, scented candles, incense, dog bones, soap, etc... should not be used in caches. You might be able to get away with it in an ammo box, but why tempt the animules? Thre are so many cool things you can put in a cache that don't smell.

I have some playdough in a cache which I placed. If an animal (unlikely in the location) can get to it, wants it bad enough, and can get the playdough out of the cache, its welcome to it.

 

But in general, yes, no smelly stuff in caches.

Looks like the quick tutorial needs to be edited then:

 

Disposable camera - Put one in and ask everyone to take a picture of themselves and put it back in the cache. Later you can develop the photos and place them online.

Cheap toys - play-doh, silly putty, action figures, etc.

CDs, VGA Cards, gift certificates, dollar bills, gold bars, etc.
