Probably last Geocache for this year,
done with Nico in the not so wintry area.
Set of at about 9 o'clock in the
morning and picked Nico up on the way to Wiggensbach. Took a while to
get there, so we ended up starting the cache around ten. Finding the
first clue was a challenge in itself, for which we spent nearly three
quarters of an hour until Nico found it. In that time the sun had
moved so we where standing in the warm rays. Carried on to the next
clue which was only about 300 metres away, and that is where we got
completely screwed. Searched high and low, far and near, but could
not find the third stage, as the clue we found was near to
in-understandable (I can only say “cables”). After using the near
non existent mobile phone network to get the e-mail of the owner and
writing a question to him, we decided to wait for an hour in the
McDonalds in Kempten. Whilst driving there we got our answer (after
only 10 minutes) so we turned round and Nico found it in the end. The
rest where not as difficult as that one and in the end we found the
very intuitive “treasure”. In totally we had used about 10% owner
help, 30% internet help (Nicos phone battery nearly ran out in the
end) and 60% our own brains.
Took us a bit over 4 hours to complete
the geocache, but a lot of fun and a rewarding McDonalds in the end.
