DjBside Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Has anyone ever placed a cache in a public place? Like maybe in a library, or a bus station, or some place like that? Give coord's to the address of the place, and then the encrypt hint is where inside the building that the cache is placed. If anyone has, or knows of someone who has placed a cache like this... Id really like to hear about it. I want to place one inside a buidling. Quote Link to comment
+Rygel Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I think its a bad idea. Esp. nowadays. People would think it was a suspicious package. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 It can be a great idea, if done right and with permission. If I remember right, there is a cache somewhere hidden in a fake book in a libray. Sounds like fun. This cache is sort of in a building, and in one of the most crowded places on earth, and was one of the most fun caches I've ever logged!

+Criminal Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 The easiest geocache in the world is placed in a public place w/o permission. It's hiding in plain sight! http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ Quote Link to comment
+Gloom Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Down around the Klamath Falls, Oregon area there are (or were) a couple that were inside Mom-n-Pop diner/stores. They were more like "go inside and ask for the cache (not cash!)" type. I can get you the waypoints if you're interested. ---- Duct tape is like the Force.

+KYtrex Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 This cache is hidden in a book. Very clever. KYtrex ----------------- Do it today because tomorrow it may be illegal. Quote Link to comment

It's hiding in plain sight! http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ That one is fine by me, Crininal. I was thinking more along the lines of one placed inside a building, like the original poster suggested. I think a container hidden inside a public building without permission is probably asking for trouble. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

+HartClimbs Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Only in a few months of caching, I've come across two (really good) caches that had aspects of either clues or the actual cache hidden inside very public buildings (and I'm not talking about virtuals - these were conventional caches). I'm not giving anything away - except to say that both clearly wouldn't have represented a potential threat to anyone who happened across them and both gave me a real smile when I found them! 'Hidden in plain sight' is a powerful technique if used right (and neither of the two caches i'm thinking of will likely get plundered since they blend so well with their environments)! That said, I don't think leaving a camouflaged ammo can in a bus depot would be a good idea. The two caches I'm thinking about very clearly represented no threat and I would suspect if they were found by the building management - would have just gotten a puzzled laugh. Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Here is another inside cache which I really enjoyed. The Envelope Please Quote Link to comment

There's an indore cache in Rome NY which is unquestionably my favorite urban cache and sounds just like what you are talking about. Quote Link to comment

+Night Stalker Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 This fall I found a cache in a museum. It was placed with the curators permission, and in fact you could not find it without the receptionists assistance. The clue stated that you needed to talk to the person at the desk. After some awkward silence we explained why we were there and she pulled the geocache (in a 50 call ammo can) out from under her desk. Lost? Keep going. You're making good time anyway!!

+evergreenhiker! Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=8668 This one is another cache that ends up inside a public building. Very cool idea! Quote Link to comment
+konopapw Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 These two physical caches listed below were placed with permission. I personally don't care for indoor caches, but those who have found them seen to think they are not bad.
