Geocache: When the location is breathtaking - top of the hill

While being on the road for a few days in California, USA we stopped at a few interesting spots. First thing after stopping was to check if there are any geocaches close by. This cache was also one of those.
The view from the cache
The cache itself was easy to find, coordinates are on the spot, clear GPS receiving.
There is the cache under the rock
I also like to take some pictures of the local animals or plants. At some caches you just do not want to spend time making the pictures, and at others you could keep on shooting for hours.
See some of the vegetation in the area:






It is really a shame, but I do not know the names of these plants, if you happen to know them, please share with me in a comment or send me a message so I can add that information to this page.

 Here are a few more pictures of the view:

 In case you have some issues with your geocaching UFO mobile, really not far from this cace you can find a garage where they might be able to help you out.


If you enjoy the scenery, you will understand that in many cases it is not much of a detour to pick a cache at such location as above.

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: Lizard

When walking on a trail and finding similar caches, like many PET preforms, or film canisters or other micros after a while it can get boring and especially when walking with kids they will loose interest soon. That is why I'm always happy to follow trails where the person or team who put the caches in place put some extra effort to better hide the caches. The below example is from the Netherlands, covering a micro container. Lizard as the guard. It is hidden on the back of a traffic sign at a crossing. The cool part of it is that it could actually be a lizzard there, so it even makes the hide more muggle-safe.
