Awesome man I've always wanted to make a polypore geocache! Honestly though, my obsession with mushroom hunting has completely distracted me from most of my other hobbies, including geocaching.

My girlfriend thought it'd be a cool idea in high school to hide a geocache that asked me to her prom, i thought we were just going caching, it was a wooden duck that was covered in camo ducktape hidden in the middle of some bushes 20 steps off the road :p
KEEP IT UP!

shit i read this thread and told my gf about it over the phone and she was all like
you mean like treasure
now i have to go geocaheing Saturday
i swear the government just wants me to drag a gps everywhere i go off road
and record the spots i hang out on a site to boot, even on the site it says use places that are special to you
edit: oh ya i seen a few of these in the city a few years ago, i didnt know they had to do with gps coordinates,they said to take something and leave something, i thought it was pretty cool and almost made my own not knowing it was gps geocaching
the funny thing is one of them was placed in some pine trees where all the kids smoked pot

The game is mainly for old people and children, I really doubt the government is looking into it to track people.
Seriously, in my experience that game tries to exclude people like us, it's very PG and it'd be better if they lost 90% of their rules.

Some people do keep it super cool, I won't deny that. I've seen some pretty elaborate caches on youtube recently, I'll see if I can find some of the videos.

I've made (and had stolen) 3 badass caches. 2 were mushroom ones, one was a reptile one that took a few days to make.

Funny I ran across this thread because on 9-12-2013 I was looking for mushrooms and I found one of these ammo boxes used for geocaching (really designed for ammo duh)anyway it was stuffed in a hole in a tree. I didn't take anything out of it,there wasn't much in there but still cool to find. I did however leave a filtered cigar,only thing I really had to put in it, if a smoker finds it he will prob. grab it then start wondering where in the hell the lighter is because I didn't leave a light LOL. I have a garmin rhino but have never really figured out how to use it, I would probably need someone who knew how to use it spend the day going over it with me.
