    This checkin to GC6DD4G 10MG TABLETS reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy find once I'd looked at the hint. Container very exposed; re-hid. Excellent log book, highly thematic! Thanks for showing me this spot.

  • Enabled GC86MHH Top of the Footpath

    This checkin to GC86MHH Top of the Footpath reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Turns out the glue I'd used had interacted badly with the material: wasn't melting because of the heat (although that won't have helped) but because of a chemical reaction on the plastic! Repaired and replaced, all …

  • Performed maintenance for GC1G4E3 Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take

    This checkin to GC1G4E3 Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Added more-waterproof cache container. Improved clue.
