This is strictly a VHS VIDEO cache. Be sure to bring a VHS VIDEO with you when seeking this cache. Ideally it will contain - full length movies, animations and the like - in VHS VIDEO format. These should be original versions and not copies. Please, no personal (weddings, birthday parties, etc.), X-rated or blank tapes. Take a VIDEO – Leave a VIDEO. How many times can you watch a movie? Pretty much got the ending figured out by now? Trade it! In return, you’ll get an evening of entertainment. Pop the top on your favorite beverage, pop some popcorn, recline in you favorite chair and enjoy your selected video.
At the very least, you’ll have something to drop in the next cache you go to. Don’t let the catchy name of this cache mislead you – no used sports equipment here – only an ever changing library of entertaining videos. The cache also contains a logbook to record your visit.
Where? - This is a State Recreation Area. A State Park sticker on your windshield is recommended. Lots of hiking / biking trails and a few lakes. A great place for a hike. Area is shared with hikers, bikers and hunters. A hunter’s orange hat is in fashion during hunting season.
The Search - Nice hike, some of it, up and down hills. Most can be along a trail path. Multiple areas to park. Distance to cache will depend on where you entered the trail. Difficulty will depend on time of year and route to cache. Last leg requires a small amount of trail blazing.
The Cache – A metal ammo box. Started with six VHS VIDEO tapes with sleeve / case. These are enclosed in plastic baggies. With log, box appears to be at about maximum. Size will limit additions and force you to take something. The box itself has been painted / camoed to aid in concealment. It is not buried, well camouflaged / covered / hidden and should not be visible. Please keep it that way.
Return the cache to its hidden and secure condition where you found it. Do not post pictures of the cache that will give away its hiding spot…or the cache hiding spot without the cache… or pictures of the hint, with your logged posting. Any logs or pictures that do will be deleted without notice.
Featured Videos As Placed - “Call it Murder”-Bogart, “39 Steps”-Hitchcock, “The Woman In Green”-Sherlock Holmes, “”A Bug’s Life”-Disney, “Lion King II – Simba’s Pride”-Disney, “Wild America”-Marty Stouffer
Video Care – When taking the video from a cold weather cache it might be a good idea to let it warm up to room temperature for several hours before playing.
Why Do This Cache? – Do this for the woods walk. Lots of trees along an established trail, some up and down hills.
Your Reward – Fresh air, exercise and quite possibly....a mediocre video.
