Fun Geocaches

List any "fun" caches here. They don't have to be in CNY and you don't have to have found them or seen them. Let's just enjoy some fun caches!

5 Star TB Hotel
« Reply #2 on: June 02, 2009, 16:46:12 »
This one has been referred to as a 5-Star TB Hotel. The actual container is an electrical control panel and has "rooms" inside made out of little cubbies.

It is named "L'hotel de bogue de voyage (The travel bug hotel)"

This hotel has nine rooms and some space above as well:

Spacious TB Hotel

A TB I am watching visited this very spacious TB hotel:

Zoe's TB Playhouse

It's actually a little shed you can walk right into (though maybe not comfortably). Here are pictures that show you the size of the shed as well as what the interior looks like.

GC1NMAT cache is in the middle of a "Smilies" serie of 34 caches (plus 1 bonus cache) in Czech Republic.
Open it in GC.com and google maps, zoom out to see them all.
As far as I know there is also a similar serie in Austria.

Here is a picture of the cache C&C posted above:

There is also Sunken Treasure, which requires you to get wet. There are a few of these around, but this is the nicest picture I have seen.

There is a cool Gnome's home TB motel in Hannibal NY, it even has an outhouse for the gnomes.  I know it is owned by "Happy Wanderers"

The Gnome TB cache is GCJFZ% Gnome's Home TB Motel.  Here's a picture of one of the gnomes from the galery:

Another amazing serie of caches. I found it browsing the Czech GC web page. It is called "follow the arrow". Open it in google maps and zoom out (or Novac can post here the picture)

Thanks, Novac!
FYI, folks: "Za sipkou" means (in Czech) "Follow the Arrow"
