Have you ever rolled into an out of the way trail-head parking lot and found another car there? Did you wonder if they were also geocaching? Just last weekend we walked back to our cars from a 1km hike on a frozen lake only to find a geocacher’s car parked between our vehicles. Brendah from our group left him a note. Here are three ways you identify a car that belongs to a geocacher:
- There is geocaching logo in the window
- There is a travel bug window cling, magnet or sticker on the car (vehicle)
- This one is frequently overlooked, the license plate frame.
I have both a vehicle travel bug window cling and license plate frame. I am partial to the reverse image vehicle travel bugs as those are placed on the inside window. There is less chance of them going missing.
I’ve only ever had my vehicle discovered once when I wasn’t parked. Someone was behind me in traffic and was able to discover it.

I have been writing the cachemania blog since 2008. I'm interested in the development of geocaching and the many ways that people play the game.

Another identifier would be a GPS mount on the dash. I look for this if I don’t see the other signs.
I live in a building with a couple businesses on the lower levels. Every other day I notice an SUV with Signal, the Frog, hanging out in the front window. This person being of a Geocaching nature, he is very sneaky about entering and exiting his vehicle and I have yet to identify him. Maybe Groundspeak needs a “lost & found” feature for a situation like this? Cheers!
