Silly SWAG, notorious trackables, and *gasp* spiders! Players often like to discuss the unexpected items they find in geocaches. But what\u2019s the most surprising thing you found as a geocache?<\/p>\n

M m m my Corona! (GC9FBMY)<\/a> is an unexpected delight like no other. With more than 100 Favorite points, this cache is a crowd hit. We don\u2019t need to spell it out for you\u2014creative caches like this are really our TYPE!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The title is the first clue that M m m my Corona!<\/a> is an interesting cache. At first glance, it appears to be a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the 1979 hit song My Sharona<\/a>.
\nAfter a second look and second guess, perhaps it\u2019s an homage to the British Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

The cache description only adds to the mystery. \u201cThe cache is for those who tend to forget their writing implements,\u201d writes cache owner Flinstone4<\/a>. Well, a geocache with its own pen is always welcome, right?<\/p>\n

Approaching Ground Zero<\/a>, one could almost forget about the cache for a moment. On a sunny day, geocachers are treated to stunning views of British Columbia and the Salish Sea. On a much more common cloudy day, the surrounding neighborhood and forests make for a pleasant stroll, no matter the weather.<\/p>\n

Anticipation only grows as a large plastic bin, expertly painted to blend in with its surroundings, comes into view. Inside the cache is\u2014a suitcase? Some geocachers might recognize this unusual container right away, while others can still only guess.<\/p>\n

Inside is none other than a fully functional Smith Corona<\/a> typewriter! Talk about old school! The cache owner invites (and challenges) players to type or sign their username on the log sheet. Looking back through the signatures and typos, it\u2019s easy to understand why the \u2018delete\u2019 key was invented. At least you can use spell-check on your digital log.<\/p>\n
