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'm hoping to beat them at their own game. Lame caches are always
a hot topic of discussion on the caching forums.
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 rusty fence and a light pole. No
interesting wildlife here either. Just some crows and maybe a feral
cat or two. There is a nifty quarry right down the street that you
and the entire family can enjoy. Oh- and a strip joint right up the
street!
No place to park: No, not really. It's on a corner and because of
the fence and pole, you can't park at ground zero.
Bad coordinates: Hey, it was the best reading I could get when I
passed by the spot one night.
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: Pill bottle.
Bad camo: Of course! Black magic marker and a couple of plastic
leaves I stole off a display at a nearby store.
Spoiler hint in description: Gotta have that too. Just look behind
the I-beam by the light post. It should still be there. I'm pretty
sure it stuck whenI tossed it out the window as I was driving
by.
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 mugglers: Oh yea, you’ll probable be seen by
several people who know you!
Poison plants: There were none when I placed it in January, and I
dont think there will be much in the summer.But maybe some wasps
will build a nest at ground zero.
A pencil. A stub fit nicely in it, but I broke the end placing it
in the cache. Maybe the next cacher can replace it for me.
No trade swag: Nope, nothing. Unless you want to swap a broken
pencil for a sharp one…
FTF prize: Only if you want some of the trash or rocks laying near
the cache. I think I saw a bottle cap there by the fence.
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. I even copied and
pasted the text. And the name has been used several times
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. How to log a find: You must mention in your log how
horrible this cache really is. The more insulting, the better. To
add to the lameness of this cache, the owner is also a jerk and
will delete any joyful, bubbly logs such as “Found it, Thanks for
the fun hide”, or “Nice cache”. I will contact finders that post
happy logs and offer them the chance to relog the hide. 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....
LOG HALL OF FAME: July 11 by Blue Grass Tom (4759 found) My
dog could cr#p a better cache than this! When I saw it was a
Terracrapper who placed it, it all became clear. I have to say, one
would have to actually work at it to do camo that bad:) No
T4TC!
