The person who found my cache (Rubens cave GCNVC1) today mentioned in their log that there was beer in the cache. This will be the third time in a few years I have had to go out and remove beer from the cache.
Just curious does anyone else have this problem?
We have not had that problem. But if anyone would like they could leave beer in our fridge. 😀

lol the fridge wouldn’t be bad but since its starting to get cold I am afraid it will freeze an leak all over. Also I have to drive 30miles and hike 3miles just to remove something that should be there in the first place.
Seems like allot of work for what has always been a single miller lite 12oz can. I never drink it and usually just pour it out, who likes warm beer anyway? I guess the cave does keep it slightly cold.I probably won’t get out till next Friday to remove the beer, so if anyone is up for a beer/cache run your more than welcome to the find. 😉
I am putting this one on my must do list. I’ll take a warm beer.
I have a couple of caches in northern Minnesota that will occasionally get a little of the bubbly placed as swag.
Beer in caches is not a good idea, since kids can find the cache. Also, as it gets cold, beer can break open when it freezes and ruin the cache contents. For the same reason, jars of bubbles are not a good item of swag to place in a cache, and I always remove bubbles, knives, and booze when I find it in a cache.
I have found the single serving size of rum in caches occasionally around here, which I remove, and drink. Once I found a case (24 cans) of beer next to a cache, that kids had obviously put there for a later beer party. Even though it was Busch Lite, I brought it home. (just another hardhship endured, to protect the youth of our nation.)

It’s good to have you out there zuma, thinking of our youth!
(wouldn’t mind finding a little rum in a cache myself — not that I’m suggesting anyone put alcohol in a cache. Of course, there is a geocache (unpublished) right by my backdoor, if anyone feels the need to drop off something tasty.)

Can Beer or rum be put into a temp cache at an event?
Hmmm I got an Idea!!!
I was thinking about that, too. Late this summer, as I drove my step-van (with the 2-55 A/C) through the dry August afternoon, I thought this:
Temp cache/campout, registered-I.D.’ed cachers, with volunteer cooler-babysitters positioned at coords to the answers to puzzle caches – stationed from around lunch to around dinner on a Saturday afternoon. Then cookout and campfire the night away.
This is Wisconsin. The rest of the country probably assumes all of our caches have beer in them.

A warm beer while caching is better than a cold beer at work.
XJustin gets cold beer at work.
Yep. Every Friday!!!
One thing I don’t get … when a FINDER finds beer in a cache, it’s great that they’re telling you it’s there, but why is the FINDER not pulling it out. If I find a cache and it has food or a knife or something sharp in it … I pull those items out … why delay, it shouldn’t be in there, it’s the duty of any cacher to yank it out.
I have pulled at least three knives out of caches….no beer yet.
(One knife was really nice too…great rosewood handle)
I came upon a cache in Sheboygan two years ago, that had:
– a fortune cookie
– a pack of fire crackers
– a paint scraper with a razor blade in it
– a pack of matchesIt was an odd situation … as we were there with another family, so we had 8 people total … and 2 of us found the cache at the exact same time, except we were about 50 feet apart! There were two ammo cans, hidden under different spots. Near as I can figure one cache went missing, the owner re-hid a new ammo can, but then original container was there, just in the wrong spot (maybe found by some kids a rehid 50′ away).
