This took us three attempts to finally find

Had to use up some kitchen leftovers today. Super pleased with how it turned out!
In the making:
I'm ashamed to say it still took me 10 minutes to find this one
Spent over an hour looking for this cache recently. Very subtle under the moss!
Taken around 11:30 Friday night, although the picture sure doesn't do the real thing justice

Old bicycles, a hockey goal, a kids' pool... what's the weirdest thing you've found during a Cache In Trash Out (CITO) event?

This impressive pile was all collected in one day in my neighborhood
A batch of ginger & citrus marmalade I made today, plus some ginger tea as a byproduct!

It's pretty cool to get to play GeoGuessr again! I missed it a lot when they switched it to being pay-to-play only. In this new version, it looks like they've added a timer, though, which I think makes it pretty stressful.
I don't really see the specific connection to Geocaching though ("There's a geocache hidden near that location"? That could probably be said of almost anywhere in North America and Europe). Getting to a Geocaching souvenir is a nice perk, although you don't seem to even need a GC account to play it.
Has anyone else tried the game? Thoughts?
For me, I started doing it alone and it kept me sane during Covid lockdown. After events started back up again, I met a bunch of people, and haven't really solo cached since then
It happened. I planned for it in 2020, but got very sick (probably Covid) that week. I have been waiting 8 years for this chance!
That's great, thank you!
That's a shame! Do you ever go to geocaching events? I find they get the most logs there, although I have spotted the odd one out in the wild
Hey, that's awesome! Hope your kid will enjoy it
Just a small hole with a bison tube inside -- that's one of these:
If I happen to have a spare container with me, usually I'll replace a damaged one. IMO if you found the original and know where it was, that's not the same as putting out a random throwdown for a missing cache.
If it's a specially made container, I'd probably just log Needs Maintenance, but if you're just replacing a pill bottle with something similar I would think it's fair game. In any case definitely mention it in your log
