While in Vegas this weekend we did some caching....found 102. We used to be hard core one full day a weekend cachers but have mellowed out and now focus on off road caches and make good use of the new "favorites" feature on gc.com. Basically, for every 10 caches you log the site gives you one point you can award to any cache you logged that you liked. It's a simple rating system that helps weed out the "good" caches from the lamppost hides. So we ran a pq for Vegas and filtered for ones with favorites. Loaded those in the Garmin 62s (simply the best caching gps around IMHO) and off we went.
There are a couple really creative cachers in Vegas. This cache is a spoier but hands down one of the most creative I have found in a long time.
This is along a well maintained walking/biking trail next to a wash.
When you remove the lid you see a Skippy jar lid at the bottom but no way to remove the container.
But if you grab the base of the pole and lift…..magnets in the outer base lift a platform inside the pole that the skippy jar sit on. Once at the top the jar is easily retrieved.
There was also a puzzle cache the sends you to two 7’ tall storm drains. You need to use a black light in the tunnels to find more cords to final cache. The battery operated “black light” we found last minute wasn’t sufficient and we couldn’t find the clues. I found one online now and this will be on the list for the next trip to Vegas.
