Hey buddy, so I was wondering what is the most interesting or in-depth geocache that you've found?
Here in Oregon (where it all started fyi 😉) there are some pretty eccentric and in depth as well as difficult geocaches. Instead of just having a GPS locationa with little bit of information on potentially where the cash Maybe. You can come across ones that require you to solve riddles, learn some new trade (like metal work, wood working, lock decoding and or picking). You will often come across cashes that require you to have some sort of item with you in order to physically access the cash. There is a geocache at our local library in Beaverton. It's located in the stacks somewhere and it requires you to input a code inorder to open the box. There are even these journey geocaches. Where each cash will lead to another sort of. At the very first Cash in the you are giving clues to where the next one would be. The problem is there are 5 potential locations where the cash is only one of which is correct and each location is located on the opposite end of town. Yes you could potentially go to each one of them which would be very expensive when it comes down to transport yourself... there's even a twist if you choose the wrong place you won't know that it's the wrong place until much further on down the line because it sends you on a wild-goose chase so you must correctly decipher every little clue. The gentleman who told me about this geocache journey made the mistake of incorrectly choosing the next location. He proceeded to waste 3 months and then he had to go all the way back to the second geocache and start from there.
If you check my geocaching profile you'll see some of the 5/5 rating caches i've hidden myself, all inspired by others that i've completed. Lots of puzzle ones, rapelling ones, underwater, caving etc..
That's cool my daughter lives in Beaverton I should get her started
When I first moved to Florida for University I would go out geocaching to learn the area. My best prize was a Corvette matchbox car. I left a yellow Dunlop pick in exchange.
Yeah it's a great way to learn new parts of any new area
I love geo cacheing! I had not done it in years and I went and found two a couple days ago. It does help you discover new little trails and parks that you never knew about, even in your own part of town!
That's right!
My souvenir from the rainforest there was "artist's conch". Its a super hard fungus that grows on dead trees. Native Inuit use them as a carving medium. Cool stuff!
Nice!
Another great video Shane. I just love America. so many places are just beautiful. I have been to 40 states thus far in my life and every one has its own unique beauty. Thanks for sharing these adventures with everyone.
Thank you Pirate Labs!
Cant hardly wait for you to do washington state...
me too
I used to go geo cashing a lot about 6 years ago, totally forgot about how fun it really is! :) Awesome video I enjoyed!
-Jake
Nice!
I really enjoyed this last State of yours Shane. It is so beautiful, lush and green. It really is a bucket-list type of place and the type of place worthy of spending time in. Thanks so much for the share on this one :)
Thanks 2Qwk2C glad you enjoyed it! I have a few more videos coming from Alaska, this is the only one without any gold!
@@Klesh Cannot wait to catch up. Alaska is tops without a doubt.
If you want to check out a very awesome temperate rain forest, look into going to Washington State. The Hoh Rain Forest is the only one in the lower 48. Very very cool place.
I've been to Washington state a few times I really like the rainforests there!
@@Klesh it's a great place. I live only about three hours from the Hoh. All of Olympic National Park is awesome.
This is why i want to go to Alaska, it really looks beutiful over there.
I would just sit in that forest until it moves on. So nice!
And it seems to be an old forest too.
Yeah the trees were huge there, never expected a rainforest in Alaska so I was surprised by it
Great video! I llive in Bucksport, ME and did some geo-cahing around our town with my daughter & we had a blast!!!
Nice!
Nice little tour of that area of Alaska...careful though that land can get into your soul...Have a great time up there.👍
Thank you wayne bussey!
I'm a cacher too. Cool that you found some caches there in Alaska. Great video explaining geocaching.
Nice!
Brian you Rock....lol Hey Shane, that looked like a lot of fun. I’ve never done geocaching but some of my friends have.I downloaded the app and will play around with it. Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it a lot👍👍👍
Nice!
YOU GOTTA CIGARETTE MAN??/ LOL BEAUTIFUL RAIN FOREST THERE. LOVING YOUR TRIPS..
HAHA yeah it was this little old lady with no teeth. Wanted a cigarette.
Sorry I missed you while you were here in Alaska lol. It's such an awesome place and so much to see and do. Beauty and serenity is literally right outside. You can drive 30 or 40 minutes and be somewhere completely remote. Hope you enjoyed it. Very few mosquitos this year it seems which is always a plus.
I'll be back at some point. I only just scraped the surface of the southern coast.
I've had many friends who worked in Ketchikan over the summer for crab season and it looks soooo beautiful. They also said that there isn't much to do in your free time besides drink/smoke, so it sounds like you ran into some typical townies XD
Very interesting outspoken individuals there, that's for sure. Poor Brian.
nice video,,,
the almost cobalt blue mushroom was interesting!,,,
don’t lick it!
interesting and informative!
thanks for bringing us all along!
👍
Thanks crazy__ cannon for watching!
0:47 you better be sorry! It actually did take me a few tries 🤣🤣
Ketchikan is a nice place. I lived there for 7 years. My wife was born and bred there. I have a geocache out at Lunch Creek at the north end of the island. : )
Nice!
Oh and your blue mushroom I believe was a "Cortinarius violaceus" eatable but not recommended.
Nice!
Man, I would love to see those woods in their virgin state before it was logged. The few 'big' remnants we see there would have been the average then
The Indigenous of BC and PMW removed a plank from a tree in such a way to leave the tree standing and viable, ready to be planked again in half a dozen years.
It was responsible stewardship of the bounty of the resources
Thanks for sharing your trip in the cool and mellow way you never fail to do
I agree Tommy Petraglia, and thanks for watching!
Great adventure. Never done geo caches, so thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Prospecting Gamer glad you enjoyed it!
Howdy brother 🤠 I got a gift for you, just got to send it now. Now to finish watching the vid
RIght on man cool! Did you get my package I sent a month or 2 ago? (guitar pick!)
Yeah mate I sure did, iv got them on my TH-camr wall I’m making
I’ll send you a picture once I get home, just starting my journey to the gold fields
I love the mushroom footage! So pretty!
Hi Klesh!. Its been 21 years since i lived in Juneau Alaska. If you go panning for gold i hope you have better luck then i did. The only place that i had some luck with finding specks of gold was on Douglas Island. At the far Northeast end of the island there "was" a creek.."Gold Creek"(really). You can try there unless someone gave you better location. Back when i lived in Juneau, there was an old guy who obviously knew where the gold is. Every few weeks he would hop in a skiff and head off to one of the many islands near Juneau and come back with many ounces of picker sized nuggets(i have seen them). But never did catch the name of the fella,i just knew that he had an ancient Honda trail "90" cc motorcycle and would see him dash around. He was an old guy back then so i don't know if he is still alive. Best Wishes Klesh!
We went up Perseverance trail (to the end) and did some panning across the broken bridge. That video coming soon. Then we tried the spot next to the parking lot and found more gold. it was a cool spot
@@Klesh Nice,very nice. I hope the weather cooperated for you. Been thinking about purchasing some "pan at home gold sand bags". I know you pan out many companies that sell them. Which was the best in your opinion?
GreatScott I get this question all the time so I started my own paydirt company. It’s currently available on my Patreon page
nice adventure! much better than walking around town getting yelled at lol. thanks for sharing!
😂
Come back to Australia. I miss you
I can't wait to get back there mate!
Nice adventure, been to Scagway, loved it, its light all nite in July there, Love those green lakes and high peaks.
yeah emerald lake in Yukon (or was it BC) totally a green lake.
I spotted a geo cache in 2004 while filming Heaven's Fall at the old Monroe County Courthouse in Alabama. I signed it and put a copy of the filming flyer that everyone who played an extra (court reporter) in the movie was given.
Nice!
You did an awesome job of fixing the patreon scroll fast too. I love when you geo-cache.
So much fun to me. Do you use just a cell phone or a gps device. I couldn't tell.
Thanks for the video, again. Dude you're awesome. ;D
Thank you Shirl Bussman!
@@Klesh Well you really are awesome. YW!!!
Brain always finding them geocaches.. F U Brian! lolol
😂
Beautiful burls on that huge tree! Those would be beautiful inside.
Looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. Beautiful landscapes! I see you found Pathtags for ME! Miss-Keetos are only in Pennsylvania.
uhhhhhhhhh my?
Wow those trees are amazing. Nice cashing.
Thank you Micheal Klonowski!
Always great to see a new place. If you ever come to Libby I am going to bring ya to the Ross creek ceaders. As well as some good gold panning
What's libby?
@@Klesh Libby, Montana
@@Klesh also you can check out my TH-cam channel. It's titled Rich Brant
This is the 1st time I've heard of Geo cache, I think I will sign up and follow you my friend. Great video, I love Alaska even though I've never been there,
I have a friend in Juneau Alaska, His name is Lawton Paddock, he's a fisherman, I haven't seen him in many many years though, Hell, he might take you fishing never know! If you run across him tell him, (Guy Garrett) Said hello, Yes, that's my name.
Thank you Shane!
Nice!
@@Klesh 👍✌🖖🍻😎
I thought for sure you were gonna be leaving Klesh pics in them when this started. Cool trip.
I certainly do leave klesh picks in geocaches
I accidentally geo-cache'd a spot once up outside of Bethel, Ohio. I was working in the wood lot and sat down for lunch on the log that the jar was in. Well, I had a friend in college that used to geo-cache, and she always spoke about how folks who don't geocache are called "muggles" to folks that do.... I had some flagging ribbon so I wrote a note, signed it, and put it in the jar. After lunch, we returned to our tree surveying, and a geo-cacher came up to sign the cache paper. She pulled my flag out and cracked up laughing, then returned it after signing the paper and went on her way.
A year later, I'd moved away, and one of my friends who still works for the company found the cache while working in the wood lot... They sent me the picture, my note is still there... "A muggle was here... Hahaha"
Nice!
@@Klesh, There's also some gold to be found in the area up there. I scored an invite to a claim before I moved and got a few gallons of classified dirt that I have yet to pan out.... One of these days...LOL
When you go to Idaho go to SILVER CITY its a old ghost town gold mining and abandon homes from 1800s
Ok
Is it hard to set a geocache up.I'm thinking of putting one in my garden it's on the pennine way walk so it would be a nice bonus for people walking the trail.😉👍
Nah it's really easy to set up a geocache.
A friend of mine has a saw to cut rocks and we cut open a bunch of rocks we thought were geodes but no luck yet.
Nice!
Did you do any in NH I know there are soooo many from when I used to geocache we brought some bugs back from Canada
I sure did, check my geocaching profile and you can see exactly which ones
There is a spot close to here that has 2 oz gold nuggets everywhere along the stream..... (I am near Portland Or, over the bridge in 'Coov) but we seldom take any because they just look so beautiful laying there. Are they worth anything? Might grab a few when I go to the creek next time
carpo719 hahaha
If it's laying along the stream and are visible, i'm 100% sure it's not gold. Gold is much heavier than lead so will always get under the surface and work it's way to either a hard clay layer or bedrock.
Big shout out to trailkeepers everywhere. Without your work...
Thanks Ric Havic for watching!
Whenever you go to Wa State make sure to check out the Hoh Rainforest!
I agree Anthony Parr, and thanks for watching!
Imagine turning those Burls on that cedar tree.
Have you come to the North Coast of California yet? We have some trees that'll make that cedar look tiny. If you come out, look me up, I know some panning spots in Mendocino County that have gold...
I've been to the Sequoia NF in central / northern California. It was pretty awesome.
Awesome Ep Shane! U gotta come pan in Kansas.
Good Idea Purgatory Podcast! Thanks for watching!
Those big trees were often left while logging happened because of the twists in the trunk.
Well that's how it happened here in New Zealand anyway.
I've always wanted to visit that part of the world.
Glad I found your channel.
Any chance you will get to New Zealand on your travels?
I will show you around my areas if you like.
Yeah I want to visit NZ, I'd probably never want to leave
@@Klesh I live in Thames one of the biggest gold mining towns ever total yield of 2,327,619oz.
Punch line is no one can legally pan in New Zealand outside two areas in the south island.
😏
That mosquito found her first Klesh.
That's true!
Nice little Geo trip Shane yew
Nice looking area too ay
Thanks for the tag along mate cool
Crouch Oz
Thanks Wayne Crouch McCleary glad you enjoyed it!
Seems like fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you MUDSWAT!
Well Shane I lived in Ketchikan for many years before moving north to the anchorage area. I call it the shit hole of alaska because most people there are very poor. If you go out to the big island, in fact the largest island in america, the Prince of Wales there are many logging camps and real nice people. I believe that the bars and churches equal out like thirty four bars then thirty four churches. I think that the north end of twn is the better half. Logging is really at a low now but when the big mill L.P. was in operation it employed the most and then the canneries where next when the season for the type of fish there, plus some crab and bottom fish. Gold on the island is possible but most was stacked by the logging companies because they needed the rock to build roads. Some of the gravel fits were loaded with gold and the deal was after the logging was done they would mine the roads and get the gold back. I seen gold in some of the pits but nothing like the fraser river has. The yukon is known for gold and many a tv show is up in that region. Where I live in Wasilla there is some gold but not much, more know as the garden belt where record size cabbage and other garden supplies are. Up north of me by car is a lot of gold on this side of the Denali mt., and there are several gold claims and lots of places to do recreational mining. I know my grandson know but we are not really on speaking terms. I do hope that you have fun but stay out of the bars as they just suck money out of your pocket. Most of the bars that I frequented are closed now and I never went to that many. I hope you enjoy the anchorage area. Good luck
Thanks Morgan Adair for watching!

Those glasses are killer! Totally tubular
Thank you dyl bean!
Hope you make it to Fairbanks! That's where the gold is!
I didn't make it too far up north this trip, but still found plenty of gold in the upcoming videos.
Fantastic.
Thanks for sharing this..
I will try Gio Cashing myself.
Cheers Tony.👍🤓⛏🍺
Nice!
That mushroom at 6:40 looks like it'll take you on a trip or kill you.
That's true!
Super fun video. Thank you
Thank you Tammy Patton!
Always wanted to do the Chilkoot pass
It's an awesome place
Looks like fun! I did a float plane fly fishing trip to Alaska many years ago around this time of year. I was eaten alive by mosquitoes 😂
Nice!
Thanks for the awesome video!!!
Thanks Dan dan glad you enjoyed it!
Let's get this geocashe out onto a tray, *nice*

@@Klesh it's kinda sketchy trying to explore the jungles out here. There are live ordinance all over the place from WWII. But there are still really amazing trails and waterfalls. Definitely a great spot for a video. The flight kinda sucks tho lol
Wow you do own regular shoes. Great video have a great time and prospect on.

That little purple mushroom is edible but worthless.I have classifying books and the parents took me with them all the time.
