What part looks most suspicious to you? Where would you look first?

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.

😂 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.

⛽ Fuel up on fun! ⛽

This week’s Geocache of the Week takes us to Ohio, where Fill’Er-Up SWAG Station and Travel Bug Hotel (GC8TW18) offer a vintage gas pump transformed into a geocaching adventure!

What’s your favorite kind of geocaching pit stop?

Video by @msmandidoesgeo. 

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.
