Now i have be thinking of placing some new caches that are really out there for the kids, maybe some large caches, because i know how excited they get looking through the swag. So how about creating a kid friendly type challenge for placing some caches they will enjoy.
One of the reasons I have tried to shy away from placing micro caches is that I figure one of the big draws for kids (and even some adults -- you should see Hiram pawing through an ammo can) is the chance to find some "treasure" while on the hunt . . . plus not to get into the whole micro vs. macro debate, but I've always thought that anyone can make a challenging micro hide, but it takes some real skills and thinking outside of the box to make a challenging macro hide (and yes BrDad you are my inspiration!)
That said, one of my favorite cache series that I think would be very appealing to children is in fact in film canisters . . . and they're hidden in the woods (usually a combination that I detest) . . . but these are pretty clever . . . EMSDanel's Geo Zoo . . . trust me . . . they are worth the trip to Orrington.
