from wickedpete's original thread:
This is my new idea for a LIF style contest.
Geocaching is this hobby/game where people hide things in the world and then post the GPS coordinates of the cache online so other people can go and find them, then continue the cache by leaving something else behind. So I got to thinking, why couldn't we do this with beer?
This weekend I will be traveling away from my home and while I am on the road I am going to stash the "cache." The cache will be a plastic baggie with a slip of paper inside (since I'm not leaving a bottle of beer out in the wild). Written on the piece of paper will be the password.
Sometime after I return I will post the coordinates of the cache in this thread along with some kind of hint(s) as to how to locate it. Then the race is on. Whoever finds the cache first will then beermail me with the the password and their address to receive their free beer prize. I will (or the winner can) post once the cache has been found.
Obviously this has some geographic limitations so my hope is that whoever finds it continues this game and it will spread all over the country. Actually, it's sort of a requirement. I won't ship your beer until after you have posted the coordinates of your cache.
