Cold War Spy Tactics.

[Minooka-GPS]

Although I am not an expert at the subject, I have read up quite a bit on

spy tactics and equipment. During the height of cold war spying, spies

used devices called dead-drops. They were used pass info, film ect. to

other spies. They were used in mostly urban evironments and bear a

striking resemblance to the mirco caches we use in Geocaching.

I've provided a few links to sites that show dead drop equipment.

You can read it for fun or maybe even get a few ideas from it.

There's probably much more out on the internet about this subject.

If there's enough interest, I will scan and post a couple of pages out of

a great spy equipment book I have.

 

Hope you enjoy!

If you do a search on dead-drop, you'll find many caches.

 

Here's one of my favorites, in Virginia: The Dead Drop. This was the site of a real dead drop used by Bob Hanssen.
