During the summer of 2019, a college course was taught about social interactions. Geocaching was somehow included in the corriculum, and during the length of the class students were required to find 2 caches each week and HIDE 2 caches each week. You can imagine the quality of cache hides from newbies that were not even given proper guidelines for hiding a cache, and most were only doing it to fulfill a class requirement.
Living right in the area where this was taking place, I had quite a few new hides to chase that summer; a few were "OK", one or two were "GOOD", but the majority were "VERY POOR". I found cache containers that included a deodorant stick tube, a wet wipes box, and just a zip lock dropped in a grassy area. The coordinates provided was another challenge, and you usually had to broaden the search area to locate the hide. And a typical log sheet was a corner torn off of notebook paper.
A cache was supposedly hidden at/near the location of this cache, but it was NEVER found once and was archived after the class with nothing but DNF's in the log. I looked several times myself, along with several other individuals, but no one was ever able to find anything.
As I was riding my bike by this spring, I decided that there was space to place a hide here, where that one wa supposedly hidden, I thought "The Cache That Never Was" would be an appropriae name. I wonder what that student received for a grade???
This one should be much easier to find. Although you may need to walk through a short grassy area, the beacon should be obvious and the container large enough for an easy find.
There is a small pencil in the container, but it's always a good idea to BYOP!!
