Video: A geocacher searches around a blue bicycle secured to a pole. After checking different parts of the bike, he lifts the seat and discovers the geocache tucked inside the seat post. He removes the container, opens it, pulls out the folded logbook, and signs his name before showing the filled log sheet to the camera.

Video: The video features five spider-themed geocaches. First, a rubber spider attached to a bison tube retracts into a treetop on a dog leash. Next, a spring-loaded spider jumps from a wooden box. A third spider hangs beneath a petling pulled from a signpost using a tape measure. In the fourth clip, a geocacher retrieves a fuzzy spider and attached cache from a pipe. Finally, a small plastic spider attached to a micro cache is pulled down from a phone booth.
