+Team Grizzly Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 A couple of caching buddies and I were discussing today who would be the best fictional geocacher, meaning most creative, tenacious, physically able, etc.. We came up with no other alternative than Indiana Jones. Anyone disagree? Any others come to mind? Quote
bnolan Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I would have to nominate Superman: x-ray vision to find those hidden caches can fly from cache to cache for racking up the finds Quote
+Gizmo & Brazin Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Sherlock Holmes is another one who comes to mind. He would never waste his time looking in the wrong area. He would simply spot a broken twig and deduce where the hiding spot was based on the direction of the break. And he would never even have to do the actual work to retrieve it...that's what Watson was there for! Quote
uperdooper Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 how about the character tom cruise played in the mission impossible movies? Quote
+Team Grizzly Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 I would have to nominate Superman: Super-man's 5/5 = Kryptonite Crystal Cache, placed by Lex Luther. Quote
+RichardMoore Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Professor Xavier, founder and leader of the X-Men. He could use his mental powers to make the cache owners think that he found the caches, then he could log them and the cache owners wouldn't delete the logs. Quote
+GrizzlyJohn Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Oh yea Superman. Close second would be the Invisible Man. He would not have to wait around if there are non-geocachers in the area. Quote
uperdooper Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Oh yea Superman. Close second would be the Invisible Man. He would not have to wait around if there are non-geocachers in the area. oh yeah. i can see the muggles now. OH NO! IT'S A FLOATING AMMO BOX! WHAT IS OSAMA DOING NOW! CALL THE POLICE! Quote
SBPhishy Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I'll second the Indiana Jones nomination. Where's Indiana Cojones? Quote
+Mastifflover Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 How about Steve the Alligator Hunter. "look theres another ammo box, isn't she a beauty. Krikey!!" Quote
+Darkmoon Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Thanks guys, I just woke the wife as I am laughing so hard at these posts! I would vote myself for the girl who played the Relic Hunter, growlllllllllllll...I would go caching with her anytime! Darkmoon Quote
+robert Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I'll second the Indiana Jones nomination. Where's Indiana Cojones? Logging his DNF's. Quote
+RockyRiver Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) I think Danial "The Cacher" Boone is the man to beat. Or how about That caching team Lewis and Clark the Cachers. Or that other team The Three Cacheteers. The only problem with Superman is that people would start using lead containers and Superman would be back to a normal person like us. I can see it now on the rules section of Geo caching " No Food, No Kryptonite, No weopons are allowed in caches". Edited March 14, 2004 by RockyRiver Quote
polar69 Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Never wondered what Saddam was doing down that hole in Iraq ? Quote
+Salvelinus Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) Lewis and Clark! They actually hid some too! ...or Macgyver Indiana Jones would mostly be caching in cache poor areas. Salvelinus Edited March 14, 2004 by Salvelinus Quote
+TeamJiffy Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I have to believe it would be the characters from Star Trek. Checkov: Okay... the tricorder says the cache is exactly there! We got it captain! I'll just sign it and put it back. Kirk: Good work, Chekov. Sulu, where is the next cache?" Sulu: Captain, it's at 37 23 mark 201 and -122 55 mark 465. Kirk: Thank you, Sulu. Kirk pulls out communicator, and speaks to Scotty, on Enterprise Kirk: Scotty! Scotty: Aye, sir? Kirk: Scotty, beam us to 37 23 mark 201 and -122 55 mark 465. Scotty: You'll be there in just a wee moment, Captain. Energize! The crew fades out, ready to find another cache... Quote
+aka Monkey Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I'll second the Indiana Jones nomination. Where's Indiana Cojones? Looking for fortune and glory, kid. Someone mentioned Star Trek, but failed to mention Q. Being omnipotent, he could simply sign every log book without leaving the comfort of the captain's quarters. And I realize he's not fictional, but Theodore Roosevelt came to mind. Quote
uperdooper Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Never wondered what Saddam was doing down that hole in Iraq ? sometimes. his hands were free, weren't they? Quote
+Cache Viking Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Thanks guys, I just woke the wife ... the Relic Hunter, growlllllllllllll...I would go caching with her anytime! Darkmoon down boy ... remember your wife is awake now. Quote
+welch Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Some Jedi off star wars. They can convince cache owners to notify them of new placements right away. "you will call me with the coords. as you are done, you will call me with the coords. as you are done" And one of those sabers would make quick work of any thorny plants Quote
+Team HomestarRunner Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 From what I've read....She was. Mitsuko Quote
+aisledog Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Arnie the Terminator would be great. He wouldn't try to solve clues....he'd come Visit your house! Quote
gm100guy Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I think Dirk Pitt would make a great cacher and his side kick Al. He did find the Titanic. Quote
+wray_clan Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I think Dirk Pitt would make a great cacher and his side kick Al. He did find the Titanic. And Vixen 03. What about Kurt Austin & Joe Zavala? Quote
+Prairie Dog Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) Guys, who better than Laura Croft? She's a total babe and can come up with any cache. She would would laugh in the face of "the Tube Torcher". "Tube Torcher" Cache Edited March 15, 2004 by Prairie Dog 76 Quote
+cache-man-do Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Yes , Laura Croft yes yes. Would cache with her anyday. hmmm or night. ~Mark Quote
+aisledog Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Laurel and Hardy only tried geocaching the once. As I recall it was hidden in a lonesome pine. Quote
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) Merry & Pippin with Treebeard ! Edited March 15, 2004 by Cave Troll & Joan Quote
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 So many come to mind. I'll have to second Indiana and Lara ( I like Angelina but I thought she was a poor Lara Croft ) Not fictional: Hemingway. Fictional: Roland (From the Stephen King's Dark Tower Series) Quote
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 God I'm confused. Is this a fictional or nonfictional entry? Quote
+Halden Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Dr. Who. The ability to travel all space and time would really help. Quote
+the8re Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I think Dirk Pitt would make a great cacher and his side kick Al. He did find the Titanic. OMG. I was just scrolling through to the end before posting this choice! w00t for Cussler! The hardest cache ever: The Promised Land. Took over a million people 40 years to find it! But the best cacher ever has GOT to be Bruce Almight. Heck, if he can dig up Hoffa... -T Quote

They'll not only tell you where it is, they'll tell you who visited it, what they had for lunch, and which one is responsible for the body nearby. -T Quote
+Team Grizzly Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 Okay, now what about the best fictional cache hider/placer? I'm thinking One-eyed Willie off of the Goonies, but I guess maybe Lex Luther would be up there too. Quote
+Divine Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 God I'm confused. Is this a fictional or nonfictional entry? Best Fictional Geocacher? Quote
+boulist44 Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I propose non other than "Pink Panther", why you may ask ? I don't know, just like the colour Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 JESUS He has the birds eye view. He knows where all the Treasures are. And has more Treasure cached in Heaven than any other. And has laid down his life for ALL Geocachers. What more could you ask from another Geocacher than for him to lay down his life for all the others.. Mel will probably thank me for this Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I think Dirk Pitt would make a great cacher... Well, Dirk Pitt would certainly be a good choice, but how about Team NUMA? Some of the members would include Dirk, Al, Kurt, Joe, Admiral Sandecker, Gamay, and St. Julian Purlmetter (a must for puzzle caches). And don't forget Clive himself. Although he's a real treasure hunter, he usually appears, fictionally, in his own books. In case you're not familiar with Clive Cussler, he's a real life treasure hunter (and I'd bet he geocaches). Quote

Some of the machinery they use in the books would be great for those swimming/underwater caches. Quote
+Snoogans Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 I can't believe no one has said Dirk Gently yet. If Douglas Adams was still alive.......Dirk Gently: Holistic Geocacher. Sn gans Quote
+Mastifflover Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 What was I thinking, forget the alligator hunter.. I want to go geocaching with Laura Croft!!!! Mastifflover wipes drool off chin. Quote
+The Weasel Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 I'd take Rambo any day. He can get those 5+ rating caches in Irag and Afganistan!!! Quote
+Scoobie10 Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 My vote for best cache hider: Michael Milken Quote
