  • I'm leaving Ireland a day late, from the wrong airport, and with one fewer functioning arm than I anticipated. It's been quite the ride. I'll be glad to get home.

    Dan sits in an airport bar drinking a beer held in his right hand. His left arm is in a sling.

    (for those that are concerned: I've damaged my shoulder, possibly while slipping down a hill in search of a geocache or geohashpoint; so, y'know, the usual reason I get injured... but I've got some physio instructions I'm supposed to follow, and I'll be okay)

    Found GC9QNY4 NFCache

    This checkin to GC9QNY4 NFCache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Despite having been hidden as recently as 2022, this "feels" like an old-school cache. A non-trivial offset, a real scramble through the terrain to find it, and a generous-sized container at the other end. Back around 2010 many more โ€ฆ
