With a bit of free time on my hands I've been paying attention to the string of geocaches that I have out in the world. I mostly enjoy making and placing custom caches. Finding them, eh, not so much.
Over time they tend to need maintenance. Water gets into everything. Put something inside a hollow tree and the tree blows over. On occasion people who find the caches have their own eccentric ideas of how they should be rehidden.
One cache I had near a ball field was called Brown Bat. It was hidden inside a little plastic souvenir baseball bat. I think it was something you could buy full of beer at the local minor league ball park. Alas, it vanished, so I decided to replace it with something a bit more Lugosi themed...
That was a "one off", but I also have geocache series going. Local History is rather unofficial. Strange Fish is a long running series where I put a geocache - usually a custom container made to look like the species - where I caught some weird bottom feeding critter. That's getting harder to do btw. I'm up to 15 in this series. HERE is an example.
Recently I started a new series that I'm calling Crossroads. All at intersections of county roads. For some reason these are designated with letters, and when they ran through the alphabet they started using double letters. The juxtaposition of signs at such places provides, shall we say, opportunities.....
For instance......The House at Pooh Corner What creative things could you do with semi random arrangements of two or three letters?
