On a whim I started looking for caches in other countrys..
Seems theres almost 70 in IRAQ!! (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=97)
17 have shown for Afghanistan!! (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=12)
And 15 on the list in Antarctica!! (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=18)
Most of them look like quite the challenge given the circumstances.
Road trip anyone??

I checked on Iraq and Afganistan just a few months ago and there were just a few caches in those countries.

I guess it means that the situation is getting better if people are putting out geocaches! :D :D

Hmmm . . . caches in Iraq. Would make things a whole lot more interesting for those of us who routinely poke sticks into holes looking for a cache. In Iraq you could poke a stick into a hole looking for a cache and find an IED, scorpion, cache or even Saddam Hussein.

Yikes!!! I'll stick to the woods of Maine, even with the black flies!

geeze jake dont you pay attention??? the box saddam was hiding is was a geocache! i looked it up on gc.com, the owner hid it using his magellan,(and the cache was actually supposed to be in Austrailia) that's why nobody ever found it!!! boy talk about an FTF prize... :p:D:rolleyes:

Do you suppose somewhere out that Osama is the FTF prize in another geocache? :D

Don't forget the infamous 'The Rapture of the Deep' - (Scuba MultiCache) (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=19350) (GC4B96) by The Artful Dodger (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.asp?A=9929) (5/5), which after being placed 4/10/2002 is still waiting for that FTF...

I would love to do the 'The Rapture of the Deep' That would be so awesome

Now, THAT is a geocache! Absolutely incredible...

geeeze, proably the only person capable of doing that one is chuck norris... i bet he's even the guy that hid it.. :D

Takes me back to Lloyd Bridges and Sea Hunt. :) LOL

I remember my grandparents talking about him. :D

I forgot to mention in my previous post - I remember just before the war started, there was one cache in Iraq. It was archived by gc.com when the war started for safety reasons. At the time, GPSrs were not allowed there.

Lloyd Bridges and Sea Hunt??????? (this must be something i'm too young to understand...)

..........or having to climb up on the roof to turn the antenna while your father is shouting directions to you out the livingroom window. " Yup....A little more the other way......NO! Too much, go back some.....just a little bit more......that it, come on down." Then of course when I got down it would have to be re-adjusted in about ten minutes or when the wind blew, whichever came first. (I grew up in Embden, still no cable in most of that town)

That's what my brother, sister and I were around for . . . Dad's "first TV remote." :)

and who says watching TV deprives people of exercise... :)
