Will cachers go after a hide if they know in advance that it sucks? There’s only one way to find out…
I've wanted to do one like this for some time now. It's dedicated to all the hiders out there who toss a cheesy cache in a location of no significance just because they can. I am hoping to beat them at their own game.
I wasn’t able to get all the elements of lameness crammed into a single hide but there are enough here to make it a real stinker…
Crappy location: Yep!
No scenic view: All you can see here is a traffic and a decaying parking lot. No interesting wildlife here either. Just some squirrels and maybe a feral cat or two. If you visit in the afternoon on a sunny day - BREATH DEEPLY! And then let me know what you think that smell is.
Bad coordinates: Hey, it was the best reading I could get when I passed by the spot.
Bad GPS reception in the area: The signal is pretty bouncy here.
Wet log: Not yet - but wait until it rains a couple times.
Ordinary container: 35 Mil film canister.
Bad camo: Of course. A piece of Dollar store fern and a strip of duct tape makes good camo, right?
Spoiler hint in description: Gotta have that too. Just look in the mile marker reflector like thinggie. It should still be there. Just look for the piece of fern jutting out of the top.
Worthless hint: See below.
Chance of getting questioned by authorities or neighbors about what you’re doing: Probably - if you're not careful.
In full view of locals: Well, there is absolutly no hiding what you are doing.
Poison plants: There were none in February when I placed it but after several applications of Miracle Gro, I have a bountiful crop of the itchiest poison ivy in the land growing at ground zero.
Pencil: Well, Iremembered to put one in but I uh... um, forgot to shapen it.
No trade swag: Nope, nothing.
FTF prize: Only if you want one of the rocks or leaves laying near the pavement. I think I saw a bottle cap there by the curb.
Wrong rating: Yes, it's way over rated. Oh, and no cache size is listed either.
Attributes do not pertain to the location: Of course!
Is this an original idea?: No, I stole it. The name has even been used before.
Now for the good part. The satisfaction you’ll get from this find isn’t the search but the opportunity to trash it in front of the rest of the caching community.
While it is not required, we encourage you to mention in your log how crappy this cache really is. The more insulting, the better. We really don't want to see any joyful, bubbly logs such as “Found it", "Thanks for the fun hide”, “Nice cache” or god-forbid the dredded "TFTC!"
Feel free to post spoiler pictures of the container or ground zero so this will be even less of a challenge for others.
It's out there mocking you right now... It keeps coming up in your searches... You know you want to find this thing....
