Careful About Hiding That Container

Recently, I posted about some locations that cachers should be real careful about hiding caches near, and some that should be flat avoided. Now, let’s talk about how containers can affect the safety of a cache location. While not all of these containers are bad, some are bad containers to put out in certain locations.

Building an Earthcache

Many geocachers enjoy the sport because it takes them to interesting locations. Many enjoy it for the challenge. Many enjoy what they my learn along the way. There are a variety of geocaches that can help do that. EARTHCACHES are one of them.

Don’t Hide Here

Recently, JadeFalcon and I passed up on a cache that we had serious qualms about trying to find. The cache was within 10 – 20 feet of an elementary school classroom window. The FTF’er already had a run in with school officials since the school is actively being used. As a teacher and geocacher, I personally contacted the owner with the suggestion that they archive it before it causes any serious problems (aka: police). It has since been archived by the owner. So it got me thinking. What are some places to avoid hiding caches at?

MOGA Geocoins

MOGA – Midwest Open Geocaching Adventure

MOGA is a themed geocaching competition that is going to enter it’s 6th year next year (2010). I first attended this year, when the theme was the Wild West. Next year, it’s going to be about Space.

Oh, and they produced some seriously wicked geocoins.

A Cool Vehicle Laptop Rig

For those of you who saw my video post last Friday saw a video that I recorded on the road. The video was made using TC3633’s laptop, which is mounted in his vehicle. Well, I promised a report of the rig and here it is, complete with photos.
