Why didn't the skeleton go geocaching? Because he had no guts! Halloween is quickly creeping upon us. If you've gotten caught in geocaching's web, here are five ways to add a little geocaching to your Halloween — or is it add a little Halloween to your geocaching? And remember, never go geocaching with vampires — they're a real pain in the neck. Frankencache 1. Add a spooky twist to your geocache Monsters. Fake snakes. Burnt teddy bears. Eerie cobwebs. Pens that don't work. Things can get really scary really fast. Frankencache Rubber snakessss Burnt bears Cobwebs Pens that don't work 2. Find and log a “Ghost” (Virtual) Cache BOO! Virtuals are often referred to as “Ghost Caches” because of the spirited icon. Virtual Caches do not involve a physical container, but rather, require you to visit an interesting location then answer questions to earn a find. Previously a grandfathered cache type, a limited number of Virtual caches recently became available again worldwide. There are over 5,200 active Virtual Caches around the world, with new ones added every day. GC7B9EZ GC7B9EZ GC7B9EZ GC7B764 GC7B764 GC7B764 3. Carve a geo-themed pumpkin Make your pumpkin spicy with some geo-art. Signal's face? A Virtual icon? A compass? Go for it! 4. Find a Night Cache Are you afraid of the dark? Night caches are designed to be found at night and are difficult or impossible to find during the day. Typically a flashlight or UV light is needed to follow reflectors to the final location. SAW Make sure to bring a headlamp and UV light UV logs only No flashlight? No thank you. UV logs 5. Dress in a geo-themed costume Travel Bug? Ammo can? Soggy logbook? Muggle? Oh, the possibilities are endless! Travel Bug costume How do you creep geocaching real? [...]

Get ready to get spooky — Halloween is coming! This year, ditch the usual broomstick and witch hat and opt for a more geo-tacular disguise. In a crowd of witches, superheroes, and princesses, you'll definitely stand out. They're dreadful, ghoulish, and just the right amount of strange — check out our geocaching costumes, and let us know if you create your own! (To the tune of Monster Mash): I created a cache late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my ammo can became a disguise And suddenly to my surprise He found the cache!(He found the geocache)He found the cache!(He found it in a flash) Travel Bug Put on a bug costume, grab a suitcase, and you'll be all set for your voyage around the neighborhood. Bison Tube Q: What did the buffalo father say to his son as he left to go trick-or-treating? A: Bison. (K)night Cache Do you defend the castle from intruders during the day and search for caches at night? Are you a skilled swordsman and a night owl? Are you a fan of mediocre puns? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, dress yourself up as a (k)night cache this year! Muggle Impress your geocaching buddies with this muggle costume. They're oblivious, they're everywhere, they make our lives difficult… but geocaching wouldn't be nearly as fun without them! Ammo Can We ammo-can't believe how great this costume is. [...]

Aching, Rest in PeacePlease join us in remembering a true icon: Geo. C. Aching. Geo. C. Aching was a phenomenal adventurer, world traveler, and companion. And a real prankster, too. Remember the time we went on a maintenance run and couldn't find our own geocache anywhere? Or how about those logbooks that we could never get out of bisons? Or, that hot summer day when we drove three hours to the next county, went on a grueling 10-mile hike, and had blisters all over our feet only to realize that Geo made sure we forgot our pen? Turns out that sometimes those of us who wandered were actually lost. Geo spent time with everyone, whether voyaging on worldwide excursions, hiking to remote locations deep in the woods, or just grabbing a rusty candy tin while picking up the kids at the mall. Geo was always there for all of us, no matter where we went or what we were doing. Here's to you, Geo. C. Aching — may you finally log that giant D5/T5 ammo can in the sky. Til Death Do Us PartRest in Peace geocachersOpen casket funeralGotta hand it to you, this is an awesome cacheFound at the end of Geocaching Way* This geocache is on private property with owner permission (cache owner is the property owner) and not located in an actual cemetery.

Traditional GC4Q81K by famsten Difficulty: 5 Terrain: 5 Location: Finland N 60° 14.222′ E 024° 02.194′ Any abandoned mine sounds like an interesting place for a geocache, but the Ojamo mine in southern Finland is more than just that. The mine is completely submerged in water and still contains tracks, elevators, tools, test samples, and drilling equipment systems from when it was fully operational. The Ojamo mine is near the city of Lohja, about an hour from Helsinki, Finland. The mine opened for business in the early 1920s. Eventually they created miles of complex tunnels that reach depths of around 240 meters (800 ft). This D5/T5 takes serious scuba diving skills to safely and successfully locate the geocache. The cache is located inside the “Pearls” — named after a long tunnel that connects several halls and narrow passageways. Carefully navigate underwater around a depth of 55 meters (180 ft) through the passages and find a small cavity containing a pocket of air where geocachers Luttu and famsten placed the cache. The air in the pocket is not breathable as it can contain a high concentration of carbon dioxide. “Nevertheless, safety is always number one, and every diving team must have solid plans, safety measures and surface support in place before any dive,” says Luttu, who assisted in the planning and placement of this cache.
