+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 If a cacher dies and wants his/her grave to be a virtual cache, would it be possible? How many cachers would like to have an own waypoint on the gravestone, like: "GC1234 Here rests a cacher who was known for always finding the caches. Hope you will find some in the heaven also.. Don't forget to log them!" And then something below the stone that are decrypted with the GC krypto.. And that are the thing cachers must mail the owner before they can log this virtual cache.

+Divine Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 This reminds me about an idea I got awhile ago. Many people have actually thought - more or less seriously - of making their tombstone a cache. Just do some forum searches. Since I'm not very much into virtuals, the idea someone got of a secret compartment in the tombstone where the cache container would be struck me much better. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I would think this part of the guidelines would come into play: Signs, memorials, tombstones or historical markers are among the items that are generally too common to qualify as virtual caches. Of course, this idea is not exactly a common idea, so I would suggest you consider the next part of the guideline: . If you don't know if it is appropriate, contact your local approver first, or post a question to the forums about your idea. You already posted here, I would suggest contacting your local approver before you die. Quote Link to comment
+erik88l-r Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 You would find it very depressing, after creating your tombstone virtual cache, if it were not appoved, not that being depressed is likely to be a problem if you're dead. To prevent this possibility keep the geocaching guidelines in mind: ....so please consider adding a micro or making the location a step in an offset or multi-stage cache with the physical cache placed in an area that is appropriate. You could hide a micro cache now, then specify some information on your tombstone (such as your birthdate) to be used to calculate the coords for an actual cache. I'm not sure the geocaching guidelines allow caches for those too dead to maintain them, though. It might be better if you just stayed alive and forgot about this plan. ~erik~ Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Yeash, I just got a crazy idea today, but as Divine wrote, I'm not the first psycho who had thought about it Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Even if you started with a really big logbook, you would be unable to maintain your cache from Heaven (or whereever else you may go). I'd have to vote for virtual (but don't tell Ish'n'Isha I said that) Quote Link to comment
