Unique Geocache: "Counter-Weight"

(Only about 12 seconds of wind at the beginning.) This is one of our caches. We put this one near a water-main which was painted blue, right out in the open beside an alley which gets a LOT of traffic every day. It's cool how no one even notices that it's there - except for the geocachers who come to visit!

    @Letsgocaching There are no pulleys.. inside there is a weighted platform under the cache container. The cord you see is attached to that, so when the cord is pulled from the outside, the platform travels up to the level of the side "entrance," which is high enough for the cache container to protrude out the top.

    I really liked the variation on this type creative geocache. I love the valve at the bottom as the red herring. I have one with a cord too but the "Y" is up. Going to put out in the spring once snow goes. If I were there I would be giving you a favorite point for sure. Thanks for the video.

    @rfsbraz Once we had all the parts we needed, putting it together was pretty quick - except for one part. The piece that fits inside had to be reduced and resized and reshaped until it would fit in there properly, and that did take some time (probably about an extra hour). Most of the parts were used plumbing parts that we had already. The valve at the bottom was unnecessary, but it was damaged so we threw it in there anyway. The DWV fitting (with the 45-degree Y) was about five bucks.

    Hello! On some of our caches, we take pictures during the development process, knowing that the construction might be complicated and/or interesting and therefore good for a "making of" video -- but with this particular cache, it was a collection of spare plumbing parts, and we didn't really think about taking photos to show how it was made. Sorry!

    Most of our caches aren't difficult to find, or even figure out, they are just surprising. :D This particular one we put out there at a 1.5 difficulty. Only one person has ever claimed a DNF. Thanks for the nice compliment!

    We will say this, though, the hardest part was shaping that one piece so that it would fit inside the slanted coupling while blocking access to the area beneath it!

    Simple, but a nice variation to the pipes you have to fill up to get the cache out!

    Nevermind about the last comment. I figured it out but it's not quite as good as this but it's about the same. The first two finders added a favorite even. Thanks for the awesome idea!

    What causes the cache to come up the pipe? As its not actually attached to the string.

    It could be attached to something under the cache which when pulled, raises along with the cache.
