Regaining the taste for it
After being part of partnership called “The conspiracy” which celebrated the Freggie becoming a kilocacher, regained the taste for hiding caches of my own.
After the debacle where I tried create original nano caches to no avail and the intensive maintenance of my TB & GC Hotel, I didn’t think I would ever hide any caches. The fun I had being part of the celebration and create something special seemed to have stirred up things.
So I started last week with the publication of Verloren Onschuld GC1Y7PM which is a kind of a “The conspiracy” spin-off . It was meant to be my contribution, but whilst in the process of putting things together, I though it would be nice to have its own life. It looks like a traditional search the pictures cache, but it has some twist in it as you’ll find out when you try to solve it. People seem to like it so far. The only real problem seemed to be that the coordinates weren’t that accurate. It seems that the dense foliage becomes the killjoy. Despite that I let my GPS 60Cx calculate the average of 250-300 measurements, I don’t get the correct coordinates. A single measurements seems to be accurate than the average.
Anyway, I published last Sunday Alphabet Street GC1YJ3W. This list of figures is based on an article I read the other day. I didn’t know myself that this was possible until I read it, so I thought it would be a difficult labour in order to solve. To my surprise, people seem to know how to solve this one more independent than Verloren Onschuld.
I’ve also added a useful tip to In den beginne GC1JWTJ in the hope that more people would find the solution for it. As such it isn’t a difficult one. All you need is the correct information and I provide the (virtual) place as tip where that info can be found.
Whilst I was preparing the caches – there are more to come btw – I got the message that my TB competing in the Great TB Race was missing its most important accessory: the glass of beer. I can’t think of any reason why it got lost and I immediately was thinking of my nano history. That was until I got a message from VikingNav saying that he recreated the bug by adding a mug again. I find it a commendable initiative, certainly because I don’t know him/her nor asked anyone to do this. I’d like to thank VikingNav for doing this. You’re a perfect example of what geocaching can be.

But why mysteries ?
so no pressure in solving them
rot13 should give me the solution, luckily they are out of my action radius

The time of simple pick-up caches is gone
