Geocache. Everything.

One last post before the New Year of 2015. I meant to do this sooner, as the content is Christmas. Ornaments. Specifically, Geocaching Ornaments. Walmart had clear plastic ornament balls for $1. I picked up a dozen or more of them for crafts. They do not split apart, but rather just the top pulls out, and you fill it that way. On Pinterest they had some similar ones to those. I couldn't resist making some myself.

This is the ornament that I filled as a Cache container. Its contents include: a very short pencil, a duct tape made GPS, some random paper material from misprinted logs, a regular log, foam letters to represent everyone in the house, and a band-a-loom panda bear that I found in Las Vegas NV this fall. I printed out the green official label, and used Mod Podge to cover it.

Ever wonder what to do with those wet or full logs that you find? Wonder no more. Keep them. I've come across containers that are so full of logs, that no swag will even fit in them. Logs that had gotten wet, from either caching in the rain or leaky container, that will never dry out in a small damp container. After a day of heavy caching, the girls and I came to realize that someone had been caching in the rain the previous weekend, and every log was soaked. A couple drops of water in a small container is normally bad news. We ended up just replacing most of the logs. At the end of the day we had a glove box full of damp logs. Took them in the house and they dried out the next day. Well now I had about 20 GC logs. The thought of throwing them away with everyones memory of each GC was not what I wanted to do. Several of them even had doodles on them. After making the GC Ornament, I thought that would be neat to do with these. I put the Official label on it, rolled each log up, and placed them into the plastic ball. Gave it a few shakes and they looked pretty cool. I've got 3 of them now, in fact, I gave one to a fellow Cacher friend. :)
