+Robespierre Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Over in this thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=74761, I got this idea. If different occupations spawned theme caches, what would they be like? Now the obvious first thought is the Plumbers' cache: It would be a large piece of 4" cast iron drain pipe, and would contain plungers, Draino, and a little turd t.b....but just imagine the location of this cache! In an unsavory area of FLUSHING, NY. So, this is on-topic...isn't it? What can you imagine? Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 A certain manufacturer named after an ancient army legion would do well to place a cache in a certain Pennyslyvania town. Not gonna say any more... Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 (edited) A computer programmer placing a cache in a retired PC tower (caulked so its waterproof of course), filled with floppys, RW CD's, software, manuals and hiding it somewhere in Silicon Valley.

+wimseyguy Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 How about a pack a day smoker who delivered tobacco and related products for a living. He creates a cache filled with cigarette logo stuff found in the Marlboro or Camel catalogues, and hides it in an abandonded plant smokestack in Winston-Salem, NC? Link to comment
+CompuCash Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Interesting that you capped on my idea - fun stuff - but a plummer's cache? sounds pretty crappy to me. sorry 'bout that - couldn't resist. Can I say that here? It really wasn't based on an older occupation - just an idea because of a whole wall of stuff at the $$ store - having been a chef was rather coincidental to the idea. Here's one for you - what would a President (US - as in Bush) put in an occupational cache? I'll let you chew on that one. Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 Here's one for you - what would a President (US - as in Bush) put in an occupational cache? I'll let you chew on that one. Well, Clinton would include cigars. Link to comment
OuttaHand Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 How about an electrician placing a mini-cache in an electrical box in Watts. Put a couple fuses and wire nuts in it just for a couple small trade items. Or a car mechanic using a toolbox for the box, filled with wrenches, etc. for trade items, and putting it in Plymouth, WI (or Plymouth, MA). A dance instructor placing one in Charleston.

+Bilder Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Plumber could place one in Drain, Oregon. Cornel Sanders could place one in Chicken, Alaska. Matt Goring could place one in Homer, Alaska. (Simpsons creator) Someone with a dull job could place one in Boring, Oregon. Link to comment
+archaeor Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Perhaps a pot-growing cacher could hide a cache at their farm in Weed, California... And maybe make it a "multi-cache", with this second stage... And, I don't even want to think about what a cacher could hide here: Rick Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 How about a health nurse hiding a first aid kit cache in Needles CA? Link to comment
OuttaHand Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Mortician places a giant-sized cache in a coffin in Death Valley. Of course, he would have to get an exemption from gc.com so he could bury it! Link to comment

Of course, he would have to get an exemption from gc.com so he could bury it! Am I weird? I like this one - but inside the big funny-looking ammo box would be? A skeleton key, a toe truck, an eye hook,..... How about a health nurse hiding a first aid kit cache in Needles CA? Like this one a lot too. Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 There's also Chevy Chase hiding a Chevy Chase cache in Chevy Chase...(forgot the state, sorry) Link to comment

I'd have to hide a bunch of gemstones on Diamond Peak in Oregon. Or in Hawaii on Diamond Head You could team up with a Ringling Circus Clown and have a Diamond Ring Cache. There has to be a Ruby City somewhere? Or team up with the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City. Contents: a can of oil, a heart, a brain, 50' of nerve.... Link to comment
+art begotti Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 hm... kinda milking off the plumber's theme... you could hide one in bath, ny... or would some occupation fit better? i cant think of anything else... except, maybe interior design... i mean, they'd probably work with anything home-y, like, [makingup]sofa, indiana.[/makingup] Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 (edited) For trash collectors, I've heard of a Maggots End in Britain somewhere. EDIT: Definitely a CITO cache Edited July 7, 2004 by New England n00b Link to comment
