Cache Hiding Themes—April: colorful caches

Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue—we love colorful caches, and you do too!

The theme this month challenged geocachers to hide colorful geocaches, and you delivered with every color of the rainbow—sometimes all at once! We’re tickled pink to share some of our favorite hides from this month’s theme:

  1. GCAJA9D—Bowls of Gold and Gems – Aladdin’s Cave

     

    Opening this cache container instantly transports you to a world of wonder, whimsy, and wishes, thanks to these dazzling decorations! We always knew we’d find gold under the rainbow.

    This cache is colorful in many ways! The posted coordinates outside of Otsuka Station feature a structure illuminated in various colors at night. Not only is this cache’s location full of color, but the theme is, too! Players will solve a puzzle using the SDG color wheel to find an equally colorful geocache!

    Nobody knows color as well as street artists! This cache takes players through an Adventure Lab® experience around the city as they get to know one of Australia’s most recognizable street artists (and a few others along the way). Thanks to the colorful markers provided by the cache owner, you can even try your hand at a street art signature in the logbook!

    We couldn’t pick a favorite photo of this breathtaking cache, so we figured the more colorful, the better! There’s a lot to look at with this beautiful art installation, so there may be a few red (or, should we say, rainbow) herrings as you search for the cache. The message behind this multicolored masterpiece makes this cache a true winner: kindness rocks!

We are over the moon and the rainbow, seeing these wonderfully colorful hides!

We know there are countless eye-catching caches out there, and we wish we could feature them all! A huge thanks to all of the creative cache owners out there that are adding some color to their geocaching community, cache by cache.

Batter up! Next month’s theme is all about games—be it sports games, video games, or board games! Take a swing and submit your all-star cache by filling out this form.
