Some Memorable Geocaches

These photos are in no special order but represent a wide range of geocache experiences and happy memories.



Our second ever was on Gabriola Island during August of 2004. This petroglyph was part of a virtual cache, Gabriola Petrified.	We drove to this lookout on our journey up the coast road of New South Wales to Byron Bay, in December 2006. Have a Captain Cook	Sometimes the wildlife is ready to entertain. This "painted dragon" lizard tried to climb my leg before he found a real tree. Sunday Stroll	Mount French overlooks the farmlands around Boonah, Queensland. It's a world destination for rock climbers. What a sunset! The French Connection	Beechy Head has wonderful views. There are many caches in East Sooke Park, and Just Beechy is one with questions, not stuff!

Cycling is a great way to go after caches. Here's Papa working his way around Napier, New Zealand. Life is a Beach	This New Zealand cache was atop a very pointy hill called Castle Rock. Views were 360 degrees, with cliffs on all sides. King of the Castle	A favourite stop in Ireland was the town of Cong. Our travel bug, Paul Tracy, was detained by a flood. County Mayo The cache was archived.	During a winter tramp in John Dean Park, Brian and I came across this frozen pond, hidden in the forest. John Dean	Googie architecture Locationless caches were common when we first began the sport. This 50s style was in Penticton, now a dental office.

One of four travelbugs we've put out into the big world. This lady is called Ima Canajun. She's been delayed in Minnesota for a few months.	We were originally called Ama, Papa and the Kids but the team often divides. This cache was one of 20 or so on Mount Douglas.	In New Zealand we found this "nano-cache". This clue posed a question about the local area. Frail Rail	This very clever hide was in lower Summerland. This would have been a very tough find in a leafy season.	Wayne and I were spied upon by this muggling tour boat while we worked a cache along the Saanich Inlet in Gowland Tod Park. Dewdney's Funny Bone

Interesting places such as this ring castle in Ireland may become destinations for cachers. I listed several Irish castles on Waymarking.com.	This is one of the most clever hides we've ever encountered. A "dummy" irrigation valve pushed into the flower bed, in the middle of town.	This striking view is from the famous Selkirk Trestle in downtown Victoria. Several caches are nearby.	Here's Sidekick climbing a cliff to retrieve a cache. This was one of many we've done after school near the house.	We climbed to this incredible location in Wales. Stone circles had been placed by ancient peoples. Circles

This stump with a face was the final point on the most difficult cache we've done. Junior and I went out 5 times to track this one.	Sundials were on the list of "locationless" caches. Only one cacher per sundial. This unusual dial was in Wellington.	Louie the "ear licker" is a veteran of many caches. He's an excellent hiker and has aspirations to become an excellent driver. Check out Louie's Lookout	As a plant buff I couldn't help admire this unusual "graft". The limb crosses into the left trunk. The cache was in the gardens at Blarney Castle.	High above the lake near Naramata, an abandoned rail bed runs through a tunnel. A spectacular cache with superlative views.

Sometimes not finding the cache is exciting. I searched up the sculpture's skirt in vain only to discover I'd left a vital clue at home.	A cache is located on the walls of this classic castle in Wales within walking distance to Malcolm and Irene's. Wild Bill made the final daunting grab.	It was an honour to find a cache on the West Coast Trail in 2006. It may have been my last time on the trail. I got a photo taken at km 64.	I thought I'd come up with a cool idea. Get a picture of yourself on a webcam. Geocachers thought of it first. Here's our famous webcam location in IRE.	Ama and I love to do caches as a break from driving. This was our first visit to Ladner, although we'd driven by hundreds of times.
