  • Found GCA002Z Busted out!

    This checkin to GCA002Z Busted out! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Could have been expected to get the FTF for this one, given that it's (a) literally 20 seconds walk from my front door and (b) the CO had indicated that one would be hidden around here, but unfortunately โ€ฆ

  • Couldn't find GC33BCA WWW#7 โ€“ www.letterboxing.org

    This checkin to GC33BCA WWW#7 โ€“ www.letterboxing.org reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Based on the description and the hint this one should have been easy. Perhaps a longer search might have been fruitful but the geopup was anxious to keep moving.

    This checkin to GC33BBW WWW#6 โ€“ www.geochecker.com reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After I found the right hiding place, this one was pretty easy, though I was initially hesitant to put my hand into it after I mistook the cache's unusual container for (a very large version of) something โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC33BAJ WWW#4 โ€“ earthcache.org reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Geopup and I found quite easily while out on a walk. The excitable doggo isn't so keen on stopping and searching for caches when there are so many new and exciting smells just over her visual horizon, โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC9Z37K Friar's Farm - Far-Flung Fence reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found left out in clear with lid open but otherwise not vandalised.
