Here is mine:

“Use your GPS then use your eyes.”

“Watch some tennis”

For a mirco cache…near a tennis court complex…with approximately 50 yards of tennis court chain link fence and GZ smack dab in the middle…but the cache is in a tree near the road 😕

In a large tree
on GCQC95
Are GMO and I the only ones who believed that? 🙂

We saw that exact same one in Indiana.
Here’s a few more.

“none needed”
“Short WALK from parking lot” (Big help)
“you do not need a hint” (Yes I do!)
“Shouldn’t need any” (Then don’t put any)
“Well, if you really do not want to do the math, perhaps if you were to stop and think for a moment, the proverbial lightbulb will come on.” (Good clue, actually)

How many times have you seen “Don’t get stumped” or something similar?

Cryptic clues are OK, even the well used one”are ya stumped yet?” passes as a clue.

The “None needed” or “This one is too easy to need a clue” and such as that should NOT be included on the cache pages in my opinion. It would be nice to eliminate those but it is really just a minor hassle caused by people playing the game their way.

Although on the flip side of that scenario there is a fellow cacher in the Twin Cities that has been known to place caches as: Undetermined container with coordinates only, no write up, no clue and no attributes. A true minimalist geocacher.

That sounds ok as long as his coordinates aren’t 79.2 feet off.

My favorite came from Indiana near MWGB. Decoded it read Pmuts. After seeing that for about the fourth time the light finally went on Stump. Guess I was a little slow that day 😀

😆 😆 😆 Wow, It seems like I was just telling someone about that yesterday in another forum! Oh, wait! I WAS! 😀 Yup, never gonna forget that one!

That’s a heck of a migration by the way!

My favorite decoded hint is…

PNPUR

I lost sleep over PNPUR. I am sure there are some of you out there that know what I mean.

Yeah, one of those ones you don’t understand until you find the cache… 😈

Just ran across this one…

GCP8DN or GC10N2C

apparently if you want a hint, you have to look up these caches and look at their hints.

My favorite decoded hint:

See the image with the caption, “The Cache Is Right Behind You!”

Which would be fine if we weren’t out in the middle of the woods with no computer or internet access.
