I've been working on a series of really tricky geocache containers. It's a chance to experiment with various methods of camouflage. It's about more than just color, you need to break up outlines, especially of anything with straight edges. And of course anything that is very different from the standard cache types is good. Here are some "works in progress".
This might be three completed geo caches. Or might be two crumbly bits of railroad tie and a curled up birch bark remnant. Who knows?
I've been doing a series of containers based on these square plastic tubes. Here's the progression from base unit to painted unit to full camo. The moss is real. I'm keeping this one outside for a while to age it a little more. The square foam stopper seen with the lowest version is a new design. It seems fully water proof. I've tested these by submerging the entire container. It stays dry. That should make ground hides possible. Cache hunters are usually not expecting these. With a bit more refinement I hope eventually to craft an underwater cache!
Odds and ends. A big plate fungus. The motion sensor controlled voice box from a Halloween decoration. A pine cone. A rock and a brick. Which of these are, or will become, parts of new geocaches. Who knows?
