+planetrobert Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 I recently placed a MOVING cache... it is upto the player to decide where it goes and then post the bearing and distance to its new location from the last place it was at. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=16199 I was wondering if there were any other caches of this type or if you had any tother ideas for this type of cache(roving). I have one more moving cache type planned but need to get out and place it. Now where did I set my GPS???
Robereno Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 We have one in Southern Cal that I’ve been trying to reach. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=14924 Been thinking of doing a cache like this myself. I suppose I could attach a travel bug to a small amo box and see if it wanders. Obviously, I haven’t thought this through much.

Question: It sounds like this turns into a multi-step cache with one step being added everytime someone finds (and hides) it. Start at the posted coordinates, go 0.69 miles at bearing 123 and find stump. From stump go 1.12 miles at bearing 129 degrees to get to Lone Rangers spot. From Lone Rangers spot go 0.33 miles at bearing 81 degrees to get to Rooster's spot. From Rooster's spot go 1.01 miles at bearing 140 degrees to get to Quad's spot. Is this accurate or did I miss something?
+planetrobert Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 You got the idea of what I was doing, it is a multi cache that the users add to the complexity of. I like the travel bug cache idea too. Now where did I set my GPS???
+pdxmarathonman Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 The finder takes the cache, logs it and emails the owner, who then updates the coords for the cache. Kind of interesting, but too much pressure for me, so far http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=13287

+MrGigabyte Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Vancouver Transit, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=6614 To my knowledge, there are at least 3 copies of it... Crusin' Calgary, London Transit, Oakland Transit I think mine is the only one where the distances moved are logged on the page. I do this manually by plugging the new location into MapSource and adding the new waypoit to a growing Route.
+Macro Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 Anyone know of something like this in NJ? Sounds fun, I want to get in on it. If not, perhaps I will just have to place it myself!

+rdw Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 Take a look at the Wapehani Traveler. It has been around a while and has traveled far. rdw

gprecon Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 I once considered attaching an ammo box to the back of my Jeep, but it'd take some hardware and some real know-how to automatically report the position of the Jeep on the web. A ham enthusiast could probably pull it off.

All of the multi-caches I am familar with have something at the end of each leg. With this cache, it seems like a cacher might not know exactly where each leg ends. The stump at the end of the first leg could be found, but what does the Lone Ranger's spot look like? So, if you don't know exactly where each leg ends, then when you shoot a bearing and go a distance you might be getting further and further off of the intended 'trail'. I guess we'll see how easily people find it after it gets 5 or 6 legs.
+planetrobert Posted March 16, 2002 Author Posted March 16, 2002 I thank you all for the ideas, I have spawned some more ideas for myself by variants of those listed. Well it is off to go and plan yet another cache Now where did I set my GPS???

+GOT GPS? Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 Here is a moving cache near Detroit Mich: "Oakland Transit (Hidden)" by T'Dog (GC4084) This cache is picked up by a cacher who finds it, then rehides it somewhere else in the same county(Oakland). Each time it is found and rehidden, it is updated as a new cache each time. I went yesterday, but could'nt find the darn thing. When it becomes new again, you can try finding it again, and log it again as another find.
