Best Camo On a Cache

The story behind this cache is a guy wrecked his red jeep that he restored. So he put this in a hole in the phone pole on the corner. We looked for a little over half an our and finally figured it out. It is a hollowed out and the log is inside. The you screw on the tip.

Hello everyone,

     I have two that I've found so far that I think were camoed really well.  The first one was moss on a tree:

What gave this one away was the fact that if you looked really closely you could see a nail that the owner used.   



The above pic is that it looked like when you slid open the cover on it.


The other camo one is this one:



Can you see it?  I walked by this one I don't know how many times before I picked up the piece of wood on the tree, and found this:



The cache was attached by fishing line to the piece of wood.

Love the branch one, the one posted by Elliottfamily9 and also the bolt. I especially appreciate it in those cases when the person takes the trouble to add a decoy.  I found something like that recently. The owner had attached a wooden box to the bottom of a bench and then attached a wooden panel on the other side of the bench as well so as not to look suspicious. It was neat.

We have a cacher near us that likes to use 'altitude' when hiding caches sometimes.  You'll get to GZ and think "There's no where this could be, we're out in the open!" or one especially good one GZ was a perfectly good looking bush and flower bed.  But try as you might, no cache.
What most don't realize is that underneath you is an underground Parking garage, and the cache is hidden down there.  Makes it quite tricky until you know the pattern.

Another I found was a bolt in a guardrail.  I'd have never found it, except for the hint that 'One of these things is not like the others'  All the other guard rail posts had 2 bolts, this one had 3.  I've taken at least 3 other cachers back to show them and watch their frustration as they can't find it.

NICE! I like cammo on BIG caches. I'm not much of a micro or nano girl. So when a big cache is hard to find -- that's a real treat!

We thought this geocache was pretty clever. There was a log in a film canister stuck in the front part of this plastic bird. And the hint was "If it were alive, it would fly".

My son and I launched a mourning dove cache in Oct '05 in a Palo Verde tree up on a desert mountain, we named it Morning Cache, instead of Mourning Cache, to not give too much away and also to not make it sound like a depressing cache. Some cache seekers have made it an early morning hunt thinking that that would help, so it shows that cachers have different perspectives, never know what the next guy might me thinking. Our hint is: It is not polite to flip this. One of our DNF's was from a local long-time cacher that said he had flipped every rock over & back all around the area to no avail. Has been a fun cache to own.

I LOVE the bird! I have a similar one that I've planned but haven't hid yet. I'll give you a hint, though: FRUIT.

Where do you hide a decoy like that? I keep thinking that it would be best in the woods and NOT a city park. Maybe a state park...
