Over Thanksgiving on 2006 about five years ago, I along with son SuperPizzaBoy and my Father in Law, “Boompa”, placed a geocache at the Wildlife Heritage Center in Antlers, Oklahoma a small town in the former Choctaw Nation of southeastern Oklahoma. Lots of forests, rives, and lakes and very very outdoorsy.
The cache is called Deer Capital. (Because Antler’s is the Deer Capital of the World, haven’t you heard?) I had to keep pestering Geocaching.com to approve the cache. They like caches to be hidden, not in museums but they gave up under my relentless whining and crying, persuasive arguments. I put a camera in the cache and asked finders to get photographs of themselves.
There have been only 50 finders of the cache in five years and not too many took photos but I like the variety. You have crusty guys.
And grandmothers with the grandkids.
And some close knit families. Note the deer in the background also.
Geocachers come in all ages and shapes.
I have to tell you though that the little guy down below in front with the red hair,
might be the cutest geocacher kid I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, if you find yourselves in Antlers stop by the museum, ask for the cache from the volunteer on duty, sign the log and get a picture of yourself with the included camera. Take the photo outside because it doesn’t have a flash.
The camera is a clever idea. You are such a clever guy.
Great idea to “meet up” with some of your fellow geocachers, even if it’s only on film.
What a fun idea.
You are SO clever! And what a terrific idea! I love the photos and that little red-headed guy is the cutest ever! What fun!! I love it!

What a great idea!
Another place to add to my list to visit 🙂
What a great idea! I’m impressed!
One of my coworkers enjoys geocaching, but I’ve never tried it. The camera sounds like a great idea!
That has always sounded ike an interesting hobby!
Good ol Antlers USA. I’ve been there a couple of times. Its cool that you have a set up at the museum. Is it a disposable camera? I’ll stop by and take a pic of my brace faced self.
If Impulsive Addict takes a photograph, could you print it Alan? Brilliant idea on your part.
Nice idea to have the cache-ers take photos of themselves. This really shows the variety of people who enjoy the sport.
