What Have You Seen?

[+Team GPSaxophone]

I went out with one of the local cachers today and found 6 caches. What really made the day special was the view on the way home. Looking back to the mountains where we had just been, we saw this:

No picture for my best. We were in the Arco desert just after a thunderstorm and there was a Rainbow. This one was small, we (Arkinn in the geocaching world) could see both ends. Just for kicks we decided to get a person to stand at the end of the Rainbow. Just in case there was a pot of gold. Since when you move the rainbow moves I had to direct Arkinn to stand in one of the ends the ends that I could see. The rainbow really was that close. He got to the end and alas, the Pot of gold must of been on the other end.

 

That was one heck of a day. No camera though so the only photo is in my minds eye.

[+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking]

This is one I will not forget. I wish I had my camera that day, but it would never have done it justice.

 

Sun Valley Surprise

[+Nappy10]

Although it is one of the most visited places in California, I still like Yosemite National Park the best. No caches inside the park, but plenty on the way there. I snaped this picture while riding through the valley on my bike.

 

[+Kealia]

The two best I've seen:

 

Above Waipio Valley in Hawaii when we were ABOVE the clouds.

A picture similiar to the one Smurfy posted coming out of Bodi.

 

I'll go look for the pictures....

[+SixTen]

Saxy...that is one of the coolest pictures I have seen...very nice job of getting it!

[+tirediron]

I'm quite pleased with this one...

[+briansnat]

This one is my wife and daughter near the Aircrash 2 cache in NY's Catskill mtns. It's a looong way down from the edge of that cliff.

Of course, to see more of what I see while geocaching, you could always browse my gallery or even search for the word geocaching.

I have nothing that tops the saxman. Amazing.

A crisp,

rainy,

fall geocaching foray in Brown County State Park in Indiana

revealed this firey surprise:

 

Fungus Amongus.

Sunrise near trailcrest on the way to the top of Mt. Whitney. At the time I didn't know that there was a cache hidden near the top, but I did log the summit benchmark.

 

[+Divine]

Black sunshine near one of my caches couple of days ago:

Black hole sun, won't you come, and wash away the rain...

 

I've seen also this when completing a Travel Bug mission:

Didn't mind that mission!

[+sept1c_tank]

I'm in love!

[+TeamK-9]

I thought this was kind of cool:

 

Edit, unfortunately, my photo host doesn't work to allow me to post the picture here, but I'll post the link to the album..

Here is a few pics from our hike up to Mt. Charleston Peak for a cache:

 

About 3 miles in:

 

The meadow along the ridge top:

 

The peak in the background: (this pic is 6 miles into the hike already)

 

Wreckage of an WWII era cargo plane:

 

Flowers among the wreckage:

 

BTW, we were the first fools to find this cache

Here are some photos from our trip to California in February of this year. I tried to log Alcatraz as a locationless but I couldn't.

Was pleasantly surprised recently to see how well my Wyoming sunrise photo turned out at the Goose Egg cache.

I found this on the beach near Ditto Landing on the Tennessee River. Didn't find the cache that day, though.

 

Of course, there's The Pipeline*

 

...and a lonely barn in the Arkansas Delta

I have nothing that tops the saxman. Amazing.

Yea, me too, but on Monday we did see a 7-story Longaberger Basket HQ building, and the handles are probably another 7 stories.

I saw a nice frozen lake in the middle of July at Melakwa's Heaven. Moun10Bike's photo of me is now my desktop photo on my office PC. My co-workers now understand a bit better why I am always talking about geocaching.

 

[+AuntieWeasel]

Some of the shots on this thread should go on the 2005 calendar thread. Seriously.

 

Me, I'm always taking pictures in, like, a beautiful pine forest, only to get home and think, "huh. Trees. Fascinating." I think my camera must be faulty; it doesn't capture magic very well.

[Mushtang]

I've seen also this when completing a Travel Bug mission:

Didn't mind that mission!

Divine wins! His picture gets the cover of the calendar too.

[+Allen_L]

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

 

Oh sorry wrong forum.

 

 

Saw him while Savannah. GA hunting geocaches.

[+MarcB]

Those are some incredible pictures! I'll have a root around for some now...

This is looking off the porch of my family's hunting cabin, July 8 this year. I couldn't get anyone in the family interested in geocaching, so I sat here looking at the falls and sulking. When I got home, I discovered there was a locationless for pictures of waterfalls. I'd been staring at a cache all weekend depressed about not finding caches (No picture with my GPS, so I didn't try to log it as a find).

 

I don't mind. I've probably spent months of my life looking at this view. My grandfather, who built the original cabin on this spot in the mid-fifties, used to say that if you stare into a fire or running water or anything that moves of its own, you'll never be lonely.

Out caching on a summer day during a slight rain, I was doing this cache spotted this and had to take a picture:

 

 

Then when we were in Nashville for Woodstock, we hit this cache and Strohem spotted this below, which I thought made a nice companion piece:

That is the kind of picture I would expect to see on a 2000 piece puzzle. Excellent shot!

A crisp,

revealed this firey surprise:

 

Fungus Amongus.

hey! them's good eating! use younger, tender flesh. sautee in butter. very tasty.

[+Webfoot]

Great Basin National Park, NV - 20 feet from our campsite. There's another fawn somewhere in the trees as well.

[+TresOkies]

Moon and Crown Mound. Crown Mound holds my The View From Above cache. It always gets high marks from visitors.

 

Cucharas River Valley by the Spanish Peaks in Southern Colorado. Heading to GC19 in the early A.M. If there is a cache that is worth driving 50-100 miles out of your way to get, this is it.

[dampeoples]

Wow, lots of nice pics. All mine are in my Gallery

[+fly46]

I think that if I saw your *ahem* kitty, I'd quit caching for the day.

Somehow I don't think that one will curl up in your lap and purr.

 

 

As for the pics... I was out looking for a different cache and it took me to this spot.. Never found the cache, but I logged this at the locationless mentioned above:

 

 

(And yes, there's another pic with a GPS in the photo to make the log legit. )

[+greengolftee87]

I cant take credit for this but it was posted by bcaloia on one of my caches

 

[+2qwerqE]

I'm not at home, so I can't upload just now, so you'll have to settle for this link to my log for this very cool cache, also in Brown Cty Indiana. It's worth the trouble to click on the link, I promise.

 

The cache is called How did THOSE get up THERE? And they are huge boulders in treetops. Various estimates put the boulders between 200-500 pounds, depending upon which estimate you choose to believe. No one knows how long they've been there, or how they got there, but there are many suggestions and theories in the logs for this cache.

 

How bizarre!

This picture isnt actually from geocaching but its great none the less. I took it after we climed Masada in Israel. The pictures really dont do any justice though.

Snapped this one while hiking Mt. Ranier, headed to Niqually Vista virtual.

 

Wish I'd had my good digital with me, cheap disposable doesn't do it justice

[+Doggiewoggie]

Well, about a month ago I was in Havana, Cuba--at a park where I logged an old jail as a locationless. Well, I stumbled upon...

 

 

Say hello to Little Otik, who made it out of Cuba just fine!

Found the pics I was looking for. The rainbow didn't come out but still cool pictures nonetheless.

And a few from June's Hawaii caching:

 

From Above Waipio Valley (GC8578) - note that you are looking at clouds not fog (3000 feet):

 

 

and...

 

 

And a secret lagoon/beach (GC4753):
