Beer is useful if you are walking circles, guided by world most incorrect phone GPS while trying to find the next coordinates that you might or might not have calculated correctly.
We tried a few times, failed a lot. One time we were supposed to find "the numbers" and use them to calculate direction & distance to next location. We were sure "the numbers" meant the telephone number on some sign, but it did not work out. So you look around for other numbers, try different things and wander around etc. Sometimes the next hint is destroyed, like when trees were cut down etc. But we noticed at least in our area the creators fix that.
It is good to print out the instructions to multiple caches, so if you can not continue somewhere else.
Indeed. Also how many people do that. We wrote our names in a logbook, checked back a week later and there was already handul more names.
I think coolest part is that you will always remember that behind the 3rd bridge pillar in park a tiny white bottlecap with a number on it is glued to the concrete. Or that there is a box with stuff somewhere, where you have walked by dozen times before.
More than week ago i went caching to nearby town and surrounding hills. This is what i found, really cool. Also all made by the same guy. (obvious spoiler warning, for some) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P21q5Kdcr2Y
So I went to the same spot on Sunday afternoon, the sun was still up, and I couldn't find the box people describe on the website some punk may have stolen it!
Kid and Fast Jarda had told me several times that I should try it, so a few weeks a go I finally gave it a go and it's been quite fun so far. It makes me wanna explore new places and it's a good motivation to actually go outside
