Tag: cache log

  • Dan, his hand cupped to his ear, listens closely at the green-painted door of a water pumping station.

    Found GCA1JJ5 Gemaal Mercatorstraat

    After failing to find nearby GCA7Q4A "Elephant Parade" owing to construction work, I was hopeful of a find here. The coordinates put me exactly on top of a likely hiding place, and with a little exploration (and some pretending to tie my shoes!) I had the cache in my hand. SL, TFTC. Listened for water pumping but couldn't hear any over the traffic noise, I'm afraid!

    Did not find GCA7Q4A Elephant Parade

    Finding the elephant and the numbers was easy. But some construction is happening at the GZ and I couldn't see a safe/permitted way to get close. ๐Ÿ˜ข

    Found GCADMXH Rembrandt park #3

    I've recently changed team at work, so my new team and I have gotten together - from the UK, France, Poland, India and South Africa - here in Amsterdam to meet up in person and do some work "together" for a change: normally we work entirely distributed. After our day of work we did an escape room together, then on our way to dinner I dragged them out of their way a bit to find this geocache.

    Found GC7B9CP Platform 9 3/4

    This checkin to GC7B9CP Platform 9 3/4 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Even on a Monday morning the muggles are lining up to hold the trolley. Not me. As an actual magician, I've no need for such frivolities. Instead, as I'm passing anyway on my way to a train โ€ฆ

    Found GC1TK6P Narrow Minded

    QEF while out hunting for some breakfast this morning between trains on my journey from Oxford to Amsterdam for a work meetup. Lovely thematic cache container in a great spot. FP awarded. TFTC. Hey, this is my 100th post of 2024! Neat!

    This checkin to GC2W6AF Babel Fish reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

    Found GC8TNPE Incy Wincy

    The elder child and I are staying nearby and couldn't resist coming to a nearby cache with so many FPs. The name gave us a bit of a clue what we would be looking for but nothing could have prepared us for for this imaginative and unusual container!
