I planted a new Geocache yesterday and named it the Telephone Cache. Inside I put 4 cellular phones, an old AT&T calling card, an SBC pay phone insert, an I Love Geocaching picture in a telephone picture frame, a DSL phone line filter, a U.S. Cellular keychain, lots of old phone company pins, a Phone Search Central keychain and ink pen, a U.S. West tattoo, some Phone Losers stickers and buttons, a Motorola keychain, and a few Geocaching buttons.
I tried to make the log book look like a phone book.
And here's a picture of it all packed in the container with a PLA sticker on the side of it.
I guess some of you might not know what Geocaching is. People hide containers of weird crap all over the world and post their GPS coordinates on
www.geocaching.com for other people to find. You've probably got at least a few caches hidden within a mile of your house. It's a free activity and you don't actually need a GPS device to find the caches, though it does make it a lot easier. Go to
www.geocaching.com, put in your zip code and you'll find some that are around you.
I searched their site for telephone-related caches and there were none. There were caches with the name telephone in them because they might be hidden near a telephone pole or something, but none of them were actually telephone themed caches. So I made one, hid it in the woods near my house and
here it is. Less than an hour after it was posted to the site, some guy went out into the woods to find it in the dark, just so he could be the first one to find it. He took a phone loser sticker.
