Couldn't find GC3VHPY Never at Sea - Rock of Gibraltar
This checkin to GC3VHPY Never at Sea - Rock of Gibraltar reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. So close... but a chap had parked his boat RIGHT NEXT TO THE CACHE and was giving me suspicious looks. Some other time, perhaps. :-(

Found GLF6XK60 St. Mary
This checkin to GLF6XK60 St. Mary reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Took a lovely walk out here with my niece, this morning. Tried to use the counting of the scrolls as an educational exercise, but she was far more-interested in looking at all of the flowers on the graves. …

This checkin to GLF6KB5X Alchemist Quest reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Cancel that! Couldn't see it for looking. Ate my sandwiches and double-checked my calculations, then went back to the hiding place... and saw it right away! TFTC!

Posted a note for GC13WZQ Swing Lower (Historic Site)
This checkin to GC13WZQ Swing Lower (Historic Site) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No, lucymcneil99, you don't necessarily need climbing equipment. A boat would suffice, instead. Or just a lot of guts and good climbing skills. How close did you get?

Couldn't find GC28EQZ Alchemist Quest

Posted a note for GC54F7N Oxford Steganography #4 - Tilt
This checkin to GC54F7N Oxford Steganography #4 - Tilt reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. As evidenced by recent logs, this cache has "drifted" a long way from where it belongs (for anybody familiar with the hiding place: it should be out-of-sight, but easily reachable by an arm as short …

This review originally appeared on Steam. See more reviews by Dan. Just Cause 2 Rating: 👍 You know the way that everybody plays Grand Theft Auto (at least, 1 through 3) or Saints Row at least once? That is: they ignore the plot and just zip around blowing stuff up? Well: Just Cause 2 is …
