Dr. Who Cache Series Update

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Bruce

Well, upon recollection maybe the scope of my original idea was a bit too much (at least until summer. That said I am moving ahead with the idea of 11 geocaches placed around in honor of the good doctor… just “the Doctor.” Today I took some time between lunch, grading, & cat brushing to figure out how it was going to work. As I believe Stephanie pointed out- if I have these placed all around the country, what would happen if one goes missing? Since the original plan was to create each cache by hand. I took some time and thought about this and decided to go a hopefully simpler route. I would put a wrap around each decon container that would be the same, yet also illustrate each doctor.

The first mock up of the basic TARDIS geocache. This is the background from which I will add the Doctor.

So with my trusty laptop and black & white printer I came up with this… From this I will add details to make sure that it is as close to what the Doctor in question had as possible. While the chameleon circuit may have been damaged… it is amazing how a number of Doctor’s TARDISes have slightly different exteriors as well as interiors. You would figure that as long as the circuit is broken it would keep the same outside. (logic doesn’t always work in Science Fiction)
So the actual wrap will have something to distinguish one Dr. Who decon from another…

This is the mock up (final) for the 11th Doctor's TARDIS that I have decided I will place. I will not show any of the others so if you want to see them, you'll have to find them.

So as I complete each cache and send it off to be released in the wild I will let you know the GC# and which doctor it is for. If you want to see how it turned out… hunt it down.
I still may go with a fantastic final cache. I still have an idea what I’d like to do (& WHO & therefore WHERE I’d like it placed), but I’d first like to get all 11 doctors out saving mankind.

    These geocaches are so awesome. I can’t wait to find one. šŸ™‚

    These look even cooler than the description made them out to be a few weeks back! Now you need to find a way to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

    You’ve seen Doctor #11 (I have tweaked it a bit) the doodle for Doctor #4 has been inked (waiting for scanning & color) & Doctor #9’s TARDIS background is ready for me to doodle Christopher Eccleston. Trying to figure out what to do with David Tennant (so many options).
