Geocaching, Alt und ausgebrannt

Since I already wrote about the nice effects of geocaching after work, I can now tell that geocaching before work has the same effects...wow, what a surprise ;-)
Last night there was a cache published on opencaching.de and it was said to be only 2,8 km from my home. I thought of going there in the evening still...but I was too lazy. This morning at 7.00h I left home as usual to go to work by bike. But I went to find the cache first. And yes...another FTF (First to Find)!!! All in all it took me an additional hour and some 15 additional kilometres by bike, but it was fun and that's what counts.

Now, I am curious if the cache will be published on geocaching.com too. If so, I will have another FTF even before the cache was published.

Geocaching, Paulas Golf Trophy Hole 1

Geocaching after work. That's always a perfect relaxing but also exciting thing for me if the location is good. Today it was good. The cache was published only 3 hours before the end of my working day. Situated near a golf-course, there were 2 questions to answer to find out the final coordinates. I have never been interested in golf at all and so it was impossible for me to answer those questions. I needed the help of wiki and google and when I finally had the coordinates of the cache box, I took a look at the google-satellite view of that area and decided that it was a nice little forest there...perfect for a walk after work.

Nothing special so far. I discovered the cache box very quickly and ...yippie...I was the first to sign the logbook. In addition there was a surprise for the First Finder in the cache: A Hotel Voucher for a weekend for 2 people in a First Class Hotel in the south of germany. Cool...I was really happy about this found and I think we should use the voucher to combine with a geocaching tour.
