Couldn't find GC28EQZ Alchemist Quest
This checkin to GC28EQZ Alchemist Quest reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After some thought, worked out the puzzle.

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 …

Review of Xenonauts
This review originally appeared on Steam. See more reviews by Dan.

Found GLF4XHW9 Walk Around Shotover 8
This checkin to GLF4XHW9 Walk Around Shotover 8 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. One last find with tajasel before I had to take her to catch her train. GPSr lied to me by about 10 metres, but common sense ("where would I hide the cache?") prevailed. Thanks!

This checkin to GLF3K5BF Plaque Buildup (Geolympix FTFrenzy-1) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Finally got around to spending a lunchtime hunting for this cache, and I'm glad I did: what a wonderful tour of some great backstreets, that I already thought I knew so well. Was slowed down by …
