How to Trap a Monkey – Geocache of the Week – Official Blog

Got a geocaching milestone coming up? Consider taking a trip to Alabama for a once-in-a-geo-lifetime experience!

How to Trap a Monkey (GC4YGPZ) is a captivating spin on a traditional ammo can and a clever example of how a little paint and creativity can transform something ordinary into the extraordinary.

But how exactly do you trap a monkey? As cache owner JayBee85 explains, “with a monkey-sized mousetrap, of course.”

Alabama’s Gulf State Park is not known for an overabundance of monkeys. However, one primate is known to frequent the park—geocachers. The park is home to dozens of highly-Favorited caches, placed with permission from the Park to promote fun and family-friendly outdoor recreation.

Geocachers come from far and wide to visit this well-known cache, often making a special trip to celebrate a significant milestone and, of course, take a silly picture.

Don’t let the cheese distract you! The real reward is inside; the log-book and trackables await!
