What’s your geocaching motto?

Video by rock_chalk. 

Video: A geocacher approaches a vertical pipe attached to a fencepost. The pipe has two outlets, one at the very top and one that sticks out diagonally from the middle of the pipe. The geocacher first removes the lid from the diagonal pipe, but there is nothing inside. They remove the lid from the top and find a magnet tool on a rope. They use the magnet on the diagonal pipe and pull out a Dory toy with a bison tube attached.

Pull the spring and watch the cache container fly. This geocacher needed 3 takes to catch it. How many would you need? 👀

Video: A geocacher examines a vertical PVC pipe mounted between a tree and a building. They pull the spring-loaded mechanism at the bottom, causing the cache container to shoot out of the top. After missing it during the first two takes, the geocacher successfully catches the geocache on the third.

Video: The video shows a small wooden house attached to the second-story balcony of a real house. The geocacher uses a pole with a hook on the end to grab a metal loop on the underside of the miniature house. They use the pole to pull down, and a wooden box attached to seven retractable tape measures comes into view. The wooden box contains a plastic geocache container.

In geocaching, T5 refers to Terrain 5, the highest terrain rating, indicating a cache that requires specialized equipment or advanced skills to reach. These caches may involve climbing, boating, swimming, or technical rope work.

A geocacher opens the doors, revealing bee facts, educational displays, rows of bundled tubes, and a detailed miniature scene of beekeepers tending their hives. After exploring the interior, the geocacher retrieves the logbook from a lower compartment.

Video: A tube is hidden under a wooden bench. At the end of the tube is a cork. A geocacher pulls the cork out of the tube, revealing a small magnet attached to it. They place the magnet along the side of the tube and slide it carefully. As the magnet moves over the tube, a geocache container inside the tube slides out and is fully revealed.
