Let's play "Where's the geocache?"

[platypus]

A lot of geocaches have really nice camouflage, to the point where they can be sitting in plain sight and most non-cachers wouldn't look twice at them. Here's a few we've seen lately.

(I used LJ-spoiler coding for this -- you just click to expand it. If you right-click and open in a new window, it won't work.)

I didn't upload a picture of this one in its native habitat, so it can be my example.It's a rock!

No, it's a geocache! (That's a "nano" cache glued to the bottom of the rock.)

Now you try! First one:



This one was particularly good. Yes, I overlooked it the first time I checked.



Next!


(Actually, this one sort of stands out, if you pay attention. In a different environment, it would be invisible.)





One more!



I wasn't sure about this one until I actually lifted the corner. It's a magnet.



Here's another magnet cache – this one was called "a scrambled vow."

Congratulations -- you are now qualified to find caches that stump many newbies :).

One of my favorite hidden-in-plain-sight geocaches is a magnetic bolt attached to a joint of a metal walkway in a nearby park.

I've seen most of those tricks. Rocks can be easy or hard depending on how closely those match the surroundings. Probably the most frustrating ones are caches disguised as cables on utility poles. If I'm not in the right frame of mind, I'd check pretty much everything else on the pole before I think about checking the cable to see if it is not attached and can be unscrewed.

Ooh, I got the pile o' rocks one! I feel special. You kinda make me wish I could handle nature!

I got them all, but that last one was *really* sneaky.

I'd never heard of magnet caches, that's pretty cool.

I like but don't love geocaching, but am hoping it's around in a few years, or something like it is, so I can play with Owen.
