Dan Q found GLW6CHW0 It’s Not Easy Being a Purple Whatever

This checkin to GLW6CHW0 It's Not Easy Being a Purple Whatever reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Maximum stealth mode required for this one! An easy find, but a hard retrieval and an especially challenging return! (Just about within my reach; if Red is of the same design then I’m afraid I think it’s missing.)

Love the customised log scroll. Oh, and Gonzo is clearly a Gonzo.

The hard part wasn’t finding the cache this evening but getting to it in a stealthy way! I sat on a kerb nearby for some time and retrieved and returned the cache during periods during which the nearby security guard was distracted with passing revellers. Phew! TFTC.

Tim Ferriss is wrong — no, maybe he’s right!

…

There is an American principle that success is more about what you are making than what you are worth, and even less about being able to stop working. This is a brilliant cultural driver for a strong economy as it celebrates working billionaires. In Britain, the dream is more about making money then cashing in and going to sit on a beach somewhere. Maybe there is also a third way where, when you no longer worry about where the next meal is coming from or you family is reasonably secure, you then turn down the money-making drive to ‘maintenance’ mode, ease off on stress, and put your energies into what you like rather than what you must.

…

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Dan Q performed maintenance for GCD6A6 The Trout Trek

This checkin to GCD6A6 The Trout Trek reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Cache container replaced with a new, hardier one. Salvageable cache contents transferred over (safety specs, golf tee, eraser, mini tambourine). Added new logbook (including laminated copy of names and dates of every finder so far in the cache’s 15½-year history), pencils, and silica gel (to try to help keep the damp out). Added new tradables including rhino toy, “magic eye” playing cards, unactivated travel bug, ready-to-hide “bison tube”-style geocache, toy shed, metal puzzle.

I’ll be updating the cache description later today to bring it in line with features now available on this site that weren’t even the cache was first hidden (e.g waypoints) and to acknowledge the original CO.

Also: did since litter picking around the GZ including removing the latern battery spotted recently by another cacher.

This 15½ year-old cache is back in health!

Attending a birthday party in a garden not 250m from this cache, I couldn’t help but excuse myself for five minutes in order to come out and log this cache. Nice hiding place! TFTC.
