Video: A geocacher wearing climbing gear hangs from a rope beside a tall concrete wall. They reach for a metal, shield-shaped plaque with a black eagle emblem. Opening the plaque reveals the cache in a hidden compartment, along with a small informational sign mounted on a black metal backing.

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.

😂 The geocache alignment chart nobody asked for, b 😂 The geocache alignment chart nobody asked for, but every geocacher needs. 😂

Which quadrant are you choosing?

Images: The first image shows a matrix chart with the axes labeled “normal,” “unhinged,” “delightful,” and “diabolical.” A standard ammo can geocache lies in the center of the matrix, and other geocache containers are organized into quadrants. The following images are close-ups of each quadrant. In the “normal/delightful” quadrant is a geocache full of SWAG, a hollow book, a petling tube, and a mini ammo can. In the “normal/diabolical” quadrant is a bison tube, a magnetic nano cache, and a Cryptex puzzle cache. In the “unhinged/diabolical” quadrant are a variety of fake objects, including a rock, bolt, wasp nest, and chewing gum. In the final quadrant, “unhinged/delightful” is an elaborate gadget cache, a bison-shaped cache, and a mushroom with googly eyes.

What’s your favorite kind of geocaching pit stop?

Video: A geocacher removes the fuel nozzle from its holder on the gas pump, revealing a key attached to it. The key unlocks a chain securing a black container beside the pump. Once unlocked, the container opens to reveal several smaller containers and a compartment holding the geocache log sheet.

Video: In a forest, a birdhouse with a geocache container attached underneath is secured high in a tree. A geocacher uses a long stick to hook the ring on the bottom of the container. As they pull, the container lowers to the ground on a measuring tape. They open it and reveal the log sheet inside.
