Couldn't find GC9K2D0 The Footpath Wonder
This checkin to GC9K2D0 The Footpath Wonder reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Saw the notification pop up and thought this was an obvious FTF opportunity, so me and a geokid zipped out and mounted a search. After about 20 minutes of hunting we double checked hint cache details - โฆ

This checkin to GC1E9YX Uninhabited Island reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Geosense sent me straight to this one during a short visit to Stratford.

Performed maintenance for GC9EXXC Shady Seat on The Green
This checkin to GC9EXXC Shady Seat on The Green reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I was out on a head-clearing walk anyway this evening as I waited for my computer to catch up with me on some batch processing work, so I figured I'd check on this cache, which โฆ

Performed maintenance for GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge
This checkin to GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Took a late hike out here for a maintenance checkup before winter: make sure the waterproof seal is good etc. Really creepy to walk out here alone in the night fog, silent except for the occasional startling loud โฆ

Found GC54MFQ (Mac)Donald Where's Your Troosers?
This checkin to GC54MFQ (Mac)Donald Where's Your Troosers? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Performed maintenance for GC9GKJA A Fine Pair # 1625 ~ Eynsham
This checkin to GC9GKJA A Fine Pair # 1625 ~ Eynsham reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Dropped by for a maintenance visit. All is well except for a discrepancy between the paper and online logs, which I'm following up with the cachers in question.
Update: I've verified that everybody who's โฆ
