Evil Micro Cache 2
I wrote before about the Evil Micro Cache - The Ultimate Urban GeoCache Container. I have just come across another one that is much more clever.
I will not disclose it’s location so as not to give it away but reading the logs for this cache it is fun to see people who have gone back 2, 3, or even 4 times looking for it.
The cache creator has taken a bolt and cut 1 inch or more off the end. Then they hollow out the main portion of the bolt using a drill press or some other equipment that I don’t have. A nut is then glued or soldered to the cut off portion leaving some threads to screw back on to the main portion of the bolt.
A small log can be rolled up and placed inside the bolt. The bolt can then be put through any existing hole in an otherwise obvious spot but remain unnoticed.
Wow, I’m impressed that you were able to find it!

Sometimes finding a cache is a matter of looking for something out of place. Usually it is either a URP* or a PPS* that look out of place.
As much as I don’t like not finding a cache, it gets tiring to pull up to a cache that is so obvious that it was not worth the drive.
URP = Unusual Rock Pile
PPS = Pile of Parallel Sticks
