Swizzle, you do awesome work!

I keep think that little girl looks so life like.

That's Midnight Princess! I don't want to make a cache out of her.

 

So who's kid is she? She is way too cute to be yours.

My wife's of course!

Thanx Clan Riffster! You should see my artwork on some of my ziplock baggy caches. I actually just placed this one today and I'm waiting for it to get published. Swizzle

She wouldn't like this. (The Midnight Princess aka The Puff aka Miss Puff aka Cherries aka Cherry Puffies.) I'm proud that she is my daughter and for some reason she's a daddy's girl. Impossible you say!? She doesn't appear to be hellraiser like me. That's probably a good thing.

 

She hid her first cache this week.

And only about 200 miles from here. There is a chance that I will get there some day.

I wanted to post some pics from some of my event caches from the 4-H Camp Cache Bash, held this past June.

Sorry-I havent figured out how to post a link and dont have any photos.

 

However the photo is shown with the listing. This is rated a 1/1 as it is sitting on the front porch of a house on a paved street about 2 blocks off a major Highway and you have permission to park in the driveway. How easy can you get.

Somewhere deep in the archives of this forum, there is a thread/post about an even smaller nano than the one by RykoalaTeam. Maybe someday I'll try to search for it.

Once the edit option evaporates, one only has to put resized images on the host location and keep the

same image file names... the Forums just keep the same links, but to different sized pictures.

 

Takes a little bit of recording of names though... do it all the time in the avatar creation thread.

But it does NOT edit the forum message itself.

Hello everybody, I've looked over this thread and love the caches! There's some great ideas in here. I thought I'd share what around here is the smallest cache yet seen. One cacher with over 1500 caches said that for him this redefined what a cache could be.

 

 

The cache is a small capacitor taken from a broken piece of electronics. I used a razor blade to cut off the label, exposing the aluminum shell. Then I cut it down with the razor, rolling it back and forth under a straight blade. That exposed the insides which I then removed. Lastly, I super glued a shard of a hard drive magnet to it. You can see that the log is extremely small and is exposed. That's usually not a problem, as you can put this well out of the weather.

 

I put one of these on a ghost bike (a white painted bike as a memorial to a downed cyclist) and painted it white. It took 4 days of intense searching to be found! The next one will be not as easy ;-)

 

I hope this concept will inspire some seriously evil hides outside of the Reno NV area ;-)

That may well be the smallest cache that contains a log, but GC705E claims to be the smallest ever (although it would not be allowed today)

What do you ride? I have an '87 Mongoose Decade in aqua. It is the bike I always wanted as a boy but never could have.

 

I don't think I like those tiny ones above. I don't like nanos either. I like well thought out containers that are made to fit their environment. Anyone can go stick a nano on something.

 

Aren't nanos magnetic? I couldn't get the last one I found to stick to anything.

That one is really creative. I hate the idea of the electrical box though. I would mark it with the GC number instead. I have an electrical box mounted on a sign at a historical society. It is painted to match the sign and has the GC number on the front. It just has maps inside it.

[+Knight2000]

This has inspired me to post another idea. I made this two years ago but it has been sitting in my caching stuff. Now my daughter wants to place it.

 

 

 

This is another idea for a mystery. You can get these and program them to your liking. (This one is from a Thing Fling mystery box so it cannot be programmed. I am going to leave it in a cache.

[+Knight2000]

This was in the library cache thread also. I still love the idea. Hidden inside the library.

Being completely honest. I hope I never run across one of these hides. I don't see them as evil. I see them as a worthless PItA.

ANYONE can hide something so tiny it looks like a piece of junk. It's not clever.

I agree. In my mind it isn't about being tiny. It is about being a little interesting and different. I don't want the finder to be mad that they wasted their time looking for my cache.

I can understand your point. The idea of these itty bitty caches isn't necessarily the cache itself. Its knowing that the cache is RIGHT THERE but because it is so small it looks like a bit of dirt that got painted along with the objects its attached to.

 

With things like this, its all about placement. The original was on a bike and hidden on the derailer in a gap. It was in very obvious plain sight, and still took a long time to find.

 

I could easily see these being done as an LPC style cache. Pointless and uncreative. As with many caches, its not the container, its the placement and the camo.

See? Now you are talking.

A simple note on the cache page that you accidently lost your phone while placing the cache. Ask that anyone who finds it contact you.

 

I like clever. I don't like evil. It's too easy to be evil. Heck, just place coords for a cache that doesn't exist. Or get a silicon chip maker make you a cache thats only microns across.

 

Clever hides are.....clever....

I always say that I try to make our caches memorable. Not memorable in a bad way though!

 

How many times have your grabbed a LPC or a pill bottle in a bush? Can you remember each location? Now... can you remember each cache that you had to lower it down with a rope? Much more likely. You get my idea.

 

I'm not like you though. I do like evil hides! I wish there were more near me that I could search for.

It depends on the type of evil. A speck cache is not my thang.

I have found some caches that I would have considered "evil" but I prefer the word devious. Evil implies the cache owner intends to inflict pain (whether emotional, mental or physical) and since I'm not a masochist, I would prefer to not look for those. Devious though, sure.

What if someone takes the phone and then contacts me trying to give it back? I can see this happening.

Sweet, check out this new cache container.. it's the one right there in the middle, to the left a bit. I planted this cache next to a sidewalk outside a church, following a wedding. Good luck with it.

Do we need to bring our own pen? I did something similar only I hollowed out a piece of couscous. Sorry I couldn't resist. Swizzle

Already mentioned but thanks for this cache idea! They do pop apart easily with something rigid. I use Tyvek for all my logs in caches like this. They can get soaked and it won't matter.

I have one of these in my geo rubbermaid container waiting to be used for a cache I have not developed yet. It has just enough digits to enter a waypoint.

[greenworldfeather]

Here is one I really liked. It is from an cache we found two years ago which is now archived.

 

-- snip --

 

 

What, no one else mentioned the burued part of the cache??

Welcome to geocaching. Bend it anyway you like. Lots of caches bend the rules.

 

Also it is possible that a pointy object was not used to place this cache.

 

I am doing something similar. 1. I dug a hole to place a large stump in, and my rev, wouldn't allow it. Said it needed to be above all if not most of the way. Ex: Putting just enough of a hole to make it hard to remove. Picture a golf ball tee with somethinbg the size of a superball to tghe size of a golf ball on it. That is the basic picture. 2. He said if it was on my or another geocachers' property and they okayed it, it might be oaky as long as they didn't have a problem with you messing up the yard a bit during prep. and hiding it and as long as you cleaned up afterwards.

 

I am hollowing it out, although I have to let it dry out a little bit more I found out.

[+RykoalaTeam]

Wow, I am astounded at the negativity in this forum regarding my cache idea. I come out of the wood work once in a while. Look at my post count, look at my join date. You think I wanted to share my idea so that it could be badmouthed? If you don't like it, fine, but there's no need to mock it or speak so negatively about it. Around here people loved it and I was hoping to share the fun.

 

How about we keep the ideas coming and leave the negativity at the login screen? I think that would be a lot better.
