Great minds think alike

[GeekKitty]

I've had caches in the past, where I've approached with a GPSr in hand, and spotted it from 20m away cos there was a rock or a stick that was not quite right. But recently I was out for a walk, I hadn't planned on doing the series of 25 caches I was walking past, as I was concentrating on the walk that day. But I stopped for a cuppa, and while sat enjoying the view, a thought occurred to me.

 

. o O ( This would be a good place for a geocache )

 

Followed shortly there after by

 

. o O ( If I was to hide a cache here, I would put it under that rock... the one that looks slightly placed )

 

I lifted the rock up, and what did I find underneath? A geocache...

 

It's nice to know great minds think alike. Has anyone else had something similar happen?

I've not been a regular cacher for some years now. I was in Menorca for a few weeks last autumn and went to look at an old quarry with my brother in law. I was looking at the info board at the entrance to the quarry when I saw a a suspicious looking pile of stones behind it, in the undergrowth.

 

BINGO TNLNSLTFTC!!

We found the final stage of multi GC6PN5 (on 17 May 2013) by accident, as our log says we stopped for lunch, thought this would be a good spot for a cache, moved a stone in a hole and hey presto - and yes we did do the rest of the stages.

No. I'm so obsessed with this game that I know where the caches are.

I was sitting on a bench with Mrs F having a picnic lunch very close to a cache I had placed, so there could not possibly be a cache nearby could there? Part way through the snack Mrs F said "That looks like a cache", pointing to a soggy lookking camo bag on the next bench. Well eventually we opened it to find it was a cache. It had been washed downstream in the floods last year. Someone must have fished it out and left it to dry. Luckily we were able to return it to its owner.

Every time I see a pile of sticks, I have to check to see if there's a cache hiding underneath

No, not yet. But Mrs YY once needed to find a 'hiding place' to answer a 'call of nature' part way through us doing a series, and reported back that she spotted a cache only a few feet away from her 'vantage point' (!).

Spookily enough, this happened to us only this past weekend

 

In fact, this has happened to us a few times, and we accidentally FTFed an unpublished cache that way.

So far this hasn't happened to us. Maybe one day ?. We don't often meet other cachers when out geocaching, but today we met 2 lots at two different parks. A bonus for us I love meeting others when we are out.

Now I will be looking at all piles of stones twigs etc when out walking wherever we are even if we are not caching at that point ?

That's how I find 50% of multi-caches without doing the math.

Hint needed of course!
