Geocache: fake rock

One of the off the shelf geocache containers is the fake rock, it was originally a key hiding product for people who needed a key kept as extra outside just in case.
See it in the middle, yeah now it is easy it is in the middle.
When you first meet this hiding and especially in a wall of stones, you can expect some time spent on looking for it. It is your luck if the stone is fake, as above you can see it is slightly different from the rest, so it is visible (not for the muggles of course).

 This cache had two hiding technics in one, see below.
Ammo box in the fake stone.
Of course the ammo box is not the regular size ammo box, it is a tiny one. Mostly in these fake rocks you'll find a pill container or a zip bag with a log.

 Just to give you a better idea on the size of the container see my lovely wife's hand in the picture.

Geocache: Tree branch

Image
It is one of the sneaky hides out there. Can be disappointing for new geocachers, but when you first manage to spot one of these you will be really happy. Hard to spot when inserted If you plan to hide one like this, make sure you do not hurt the tree, they are alive and this game is more peaceful than that. You do not need much to replicate this hide, only a piece of branch, a hole in a tree, a container and a screw. Make sure to use the same type of branch as the tree or else it will be too obvious. The above cache is located in the Netherlands in a small park, it was really nice to walk around there and find this geocache.

Geocache: Get the film out of the pipe

Image
Now this is one of those geocaches that I heard of but never saw one personally till the day we were in Belgium on the road back to the Netherlands. It all started with let's stop at a geocache to avoid highway and then came look there is another one just a few meters down the road, and this was the one. Guess what we kept on going on with that serie as there were many cool hides out there. The film is ready to be caught ... When we turned on that dirt road and I spotted the geocache from the car I got so excited that I did not really pull down thinking who else would come this way. We jumped out and went for the geocache with a huge smile on our face, finally we meet one of these. The geocache is not too much hidden A pipe with many holes attached to a tree. How complicated could that be? Well at first we thought we'll need to find some tools in our geocaching bag, but then we saw the two metal stick hanging there and we knew the tools are also provided.

Geocache: Underground TB Hotel

Image
New players mostly do not know what TB stands for and why are TB Hotels so cool and important. Let me start with the TB, that stands for Travel Bug, but in general all trackable items are referred by this abbreviation. TB Hotels are geocaches, mostly bigger ones in size where multiple TBs can lodge safely. Be aware that not all TB Hotels are equally safe, just like hotels, depending on their neighborhood they can be where you do not want to stay. TB hotel with 6 rooms This TB Hotel was in an urban area, at the corner of some parking lot. Really nice little town. When we arrived and read the hint it was trivial where to search, but when saw the entrance below I was not sure why is it a TB Hotel, the entrance itself was not too promising. Entrance to the TB Hotel A utility cover, what a great hide. I have one of those myself, but so far I was only thinking of placing a container in it that fits inside, but this hide showed me new possibilities. There is a bigger pipe inside a
