More then twenty extreme geocachers logged a smiley on the cache and enjoyed the thrill of underground exploration. One geocacher described the cache as &#8220;a beautiful experience.&#8221; This cache, and many of the most extreme caches, require extensive planning and organization. Cache owners, like Moonsovrbend, are often more than happy to assist in preparation for the cache.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2314\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2314\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/caving-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2314\" title=\"caving 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/caving-2-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mo08i005h0zn.cloudfront.net\/blog\/uploads\/2010\/11\/caving-2-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3mo08i005h0zn.cloudfront.net\/blog\/uploads\/2010\/11\/caving-2.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the bottom of &quot;Cavers Plunge (an extreme geocache)&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Geocaches range from easy to extreme.
