+Sparrowhawk Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 (edited) I have been considering designing a cache DESIGNED to be horrible to the point of utter silliness... really make a real parody of a bad cache, it's sooooooooooo bad. "In the middle of a parking lot next to a junkyard" bad. Placed "wherever the local roads authority dumps road kill" bad. "Between the stockyard and the rendering plant" bad. "Omigod, you have to be a complete masochist to hunt this cache, and the cache placer is obviously a SADIST!" bad. Like watching a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movie, all ya can do is have fun with how bad it is! THAT kinda bad, only deliberate, and really inspired. I mean sooooooo bad you have just gotta laugh! AND it's meant to be that way. Unfortunately, all I can come up with for ideas all simply rise to the level of fairly annoying. I cannot come up with anything at the "creature from the black lagoon" level, so bloody awful it's good. Kinda like you'd find yourself both laughing and annoyed after that adventure as you mutter to yourself: "Why the HECK did I just DO that??!!" Hmmmm... Somewhere out there has GOT to be a cache like that. Anyone know of anything? Be cool to read some stories... Edited August 21, 2004 by Sparrowhawk Quote Link to comment
+TeamTek Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I say you place it only because I dont have to deal with it Quote Link to comment
+tirediron Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I like the theory (I'm a big 'B' movie fan) but the execution is going to be tough... Good luck though. Quote Link to comment
+Mr Smiles Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'd say put all that creative ability into engineering an exquisitely, marvelously, soooooo cool, one. Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 A really bad cache? Just use a small wire cage for your cache container, and put all your cache contents in the container. Use only bio-degradable cache contents, that would get very interesting comments from the cachers that find the thing. Finally name your cache: "BACK TO NATURE" Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Put it in a cardbord cigar box...so it gets all wet and nasty . There is this one (which, judging from the page, isn't all that bad) The World's Worst Geocache Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think it's been done (surely someone will chime in if it has), but insist that only soggy business cards and broken McToys be left in trade. Quote Link to comment
+PandyBat Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 There's enough really bad caches out there. I don't see the point in adding another. Quote Link to comment
+planetrobert Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 There is this one (which, judging from the page, isn't all that bad) The World's Worst Geocache actually that is a rather nice spot. I even hear that the contents were begining to upgrade Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Virtually Virtueless I havent done it, namely because it sounds quite lame. It was designed to be really bad though.........unless it is a joke and in reality it is good. Quote Link to comment
+2qwerqE Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 There's one near me that is on a lovely garden spot corner. I'd post the link, but the cache owner wants people to discover the area on their own. They don't want them to know in advance what they'll see when they get there. On the SW corner of the intersection, there's a huge electrical power plant, replete with towers and humming lines everywhere; the place nearly vibrates. On the NW corner, there's an enormous active gravel pit, with hundred of dump trucks coming and going all day long, slinging rocks and spitting gravel on any car unlucky enough to get caught behind them at a light. On the SE corner, believe it or not, there's a community park with a patch of woods along a creek. But it that where the cache is? NO! It's on the NE corner, along a chainlink fence that encloses the city's waste water treatment plant: you got it: the sewer works. All the stink and all the gravel dust and all the high tension wires waft towards that sad little park. Wanna come hiking with me? Quote Link to comment
