Best Fictional Geocacher?


Recommended Posts

Posted

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?

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!

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.

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! B)

Thanks guys, I just woke the wife as I am laughing so hard at these posts! B)

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".

Lewis and Clark! They actually hid some too!

 

...or Macgyver

 

Indiana Jones would mostly be caching in cache poor areas.

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...

I'll second the Indiana Jones nomination. Where's Indiana Cojones? B)

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.

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 B)

I think Dirk Pitt would make a great cacher and his side kick Al. He did find the Titanic.

 

:rolleyes:

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...

No wait, better idea.

 

CSI. 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.

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 :rolleyes:

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). :rolleyes::blink:

...and Paul Trout.

 

Some of the machinery they use in the books would be great for those swimming/underwater caches.
