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 traffic. No interesting
wildlife here either. Just some squirrels and maybe a feral cat or
two.
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 dollar store fake leaf and a strip of
duct tape makes good camo, right?
Spoiler hint in description: Gotta have that too. Just look for
the leaf sticking out from the fence post.
Worthless hint: See below.
Chance of getting questioned by authorities about what you’re
doing: Probably - if you're not careful.
In full view of locals: Well, there is nothing around but
passing cars and absolutly no hiding what you are doing.
Poison plants: There were none in August 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: What pencil. BYOP!
FTF prize: Only if you want one of the rocks or leaves laying
near the pavement. I think I saw a bottle cap near by.
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 from
Yamone . 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....
