Strangely enough, that is exactly where we were yesterday when I thought about it and was discussing it with Mr PCerise wrote:
Flora, there are some in CP park that I found a long time ago. Made a nice walk.

Yes, it's completely invisible until you pull the sign out.

Re: Geocaching
That's brilliant. I would never find that. I hope it had an obvious clue. I hate it when you decrypt the clue and it's something cryptic, written in verse.

There wasn't a hint but previous logs warned it was sneaky.

Re: Geocaching
You are good, Tex.
I like it when people put a photo on their logs of the exact spot. I tend to but I do at least give the photo a *SPOILER* tag so I don't ruin anyone's day.

Re: Geocaching
I'm not really. I have a nemesis cache in a disused quarry, It's a 2 stage puzzle and I've been looking for this stage for months. I've just found out it was in the first place I looked and I just didn't see it.

I like spoiler photos for when I have the boys with me, sometimes you just need to get it over with.

Yes, mostly with the kids it's just exercise and getting out of the house.

I've just stalked Ruby's cache, it's definitely a history teacher's listing

Re: Geocaching
I fucking know! It's because it's in a completely uninteresting place, so I felt the need to bump up the content. I am excited that it's 'live' now though. I've had to stop myself watching it out of the window.

Re: Geocaching
I can picture you dashing out and tapping some unsuspecting cacher on the shoulder, "that's mine y'know!"

Re: Geocaching
BTW I saw you mention you're going to WSM, this trail is supposed to be brilliant for kids http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC51 ... ate-path-1
We've not done it yet, perhaps you could report back?

Re: Geocaching
I was SURE I had replied to this thread recently. I typed it out and everything.
ANYWAY I have put those caches into an offline list, Tex, and we're going to give them a go tomorrow morning. They look amazing. With puzzle caches, can you input the coordinates you find into the Android App, does anyone know?
Also! Someone has visited my cache! And they seem almost as excited that they are the FTF as I am that someone has found it.
Now I just need someone to pick up my travel bug.

Re: Geocaching
That's brilliant, ruby.
My nephew took us to a cache this morning. It was so fiendishly hidden, in the top of a short road sign. You'd never know it was there unless you were being led to it or cheating.

Re: Geocaching
You can, I think it works more or less the same as an iPhone. When you select navigate to cache make sure you're in map rather than compass view and tap the 3 dots, you should get the option to add waypoint. If it's a solve at home puzzle you can put corrected coordinates in on the website and when you save offline on the app it should automatically save both corrected and original.Ruby wrote:I was SURE I had replied to this thread recently.

ETA I have your cache on my watch list, I just got the found log Two of mine still haven't been found after 2 months, the puzzles are apparently harder than I thought.
