Camocache revealed
Camocaches
take many shapes from rocks to logs to pinecones and
more. |

Parking lot cache
Note
the microcache hidden underneath this parking light base
enclosure. |

Look Closely
Hidden
below the pine needles is a small cache. |
Hmm, that wire looks suspicious
A
microcache was attached to that coat-hanger wire at this
highway marker. |

Look

Found it!
Hollowed

I
hiked along a stream and beyond a waterfall before
reaching this cache. |
San Juan Island Views
This
microcache has a wonderful view of the San Juan Islands
in Washington state. |

Mausoleum Cache
Hidden
at the north end of San Juan Island is this Mausoleum
