I år holdt vi jul på Læsø. Hele familien var samlet: mor, brødrene og niecen. Fordelt i 3 huse, så vi ikke behøvede at sidde lårene af hinanden døgnet rundt.
Juleaften fik vi hele pakken: masser af mad, juletræsdans og gaver. Der manglede ikke noget. Mike og jeg blev en hel uge, og ud over juleaftens traditioner lavede vi ikke noget som helst. Så lidt fjernsyn, spiste god mad, gik i sauna og sad foran brændeovnen. Afslapning på højt plan, så nu har jeg fået batterierne ladet op.

Schanzer Speed Parkour (GC1643M)
Multi Cache
At first we didn’t have a clue about what to look for. Then we realized what the hint meant, and we looked a little further down the path where we found the thing described in the hint. 
We searched the thing for a very long time but never found anything leading to the next waypoint. 
Anyways, we had fun exploring the thing and taking pictures.
Searched with Avatarius and gave up at 10.30.

Forgotten darkness 2 (GC14JPE) - #864
Traditional Cache
How weird that there’s such a deep hole right here in the middle of nowhere. It was very steep and slippery but we found our way down without falling. Cool that there’s a tunnel there. Is it a part of the old Charlie railway? I wanted to go in and discover where the tunnel go, but we didn’t bring a head torch, and it was very muddy in there, so we just went in a bit. We found the cache easily and headed back up. That was easier than going down. Thanks for a great cache. I took a Unite for Diabetes TB.

Library-Cache (GC10K66) - #866
Traditional Cache
We found the cache easily. Unfortunately the cache was wet inside. Perhaps an ammobox would be better suited for a cache like this? Plastic bags around caches doesn’t keep water out - They only keep water in and make the cache smelly. Some of the books were in zip lock bags - They were dry. But some were wrapped in normal plastic bags - They were soaking wet.
Thanks for the cache, cool idea. We didn’t trade any books.

Near the monument, a couple were sitting at the table drinking coffee. So we went for a walk in the woods and saw lizards and other small animals. Then we came back and the muggles were gone, so we could easily find and log the cache.

Multi Cache
We were staying 2 nights at the campsite in Becher. We decided to look for this multi, though our German skills are very limited. The first part went fine. No problems. But then we had to count the “senkrechten streben” or something like that. I still have no idea what it means, but Avtarius guessed the number, and we found the cache. Thanks for the tour and the cache.

A very cool place we would never have discovered without geocaching. I love caves, and this cave was cool. We spent a lot of time looking for the right cave. And when we got in, we spent even longer looking for the cache and to examine the cave. Though it wasn’t a very warm day, it felt hot when we got back out. Thanks for a great cache.

When we came back to the car we saw a family parking and waking towards the cache. They were carrying something that looked like a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. Probably geocachers

We found WP1 and WP2 easily. But we could’t find WP3. We searched for about 15 minutes, then some muggle cars arrived and we decided to give up and go back to our car, because we might look a bit suspicious at this time, walking around searching with our head torches. Back in the car we took a look at the calculation, and we found out that we could solve it without WP3 and WP4.

4 Elements : Earth (GC144H5) - #844
Traditional Cache
We started at the wrong path. We didn’t see the right one, but only a small overgrown path, and it looked close enough to the additional waypoint from the car, so we chose to start there. If we had looked closer to the gps and walked to the exact location of the additional waypoint, we would have seen it, and our walk would have been much easier.
We followed the path that got more and more overgrown for every step we took. It was raining and our everything was wet. We tried all the even smaller and more overgrown side paths and got closer to the cache, but there was always over 100 meters of very high fern, thorny bushes and other evil plants between us and the cache.
Then we decided to take the direct way anyways, and we had to fight our way through the thorns. Ouch! But we got through, only to find the great, big, nice and comfortable path that we were supposed to have been on to begin with. Doh! Oh well, we had fun. And when we got closer to the cache we saw why this cache is called Earth. What a cool sight with all the red mud.

Interesting tiny village. And a lovely little church.
Unfortunately we couldn’t find the cache. We searched for about 10-15 minutes, and then gave up because we had looked all the obvious places, and didn’t want to turn over any stones or in any other way harm the nice place. A hint would have been nice.

Very cool cache. It had just rained and the whole place was very muddy. We were happy that we were wearing rain gear, because when we got up from the hole, we were soaked in mud. Inside the cellar there were lots of huge cave spiders and their tear shaped egg sacs hanging everywhere in there. Very cool (and a little bit scary).

Mystery Cache
This was one of the most difficult Bugwees. I had a lot of good ideas about how to solve it, but they didn’t work. Then an evening after I went to bed, another idea came to me. I had to get up and see if it worked… And it did. Yay!
When we parked our car near the cache, we looked in the direction of the cache. It looked very private and we didn’t want to go there. We thought that maybe we got the coordinates wrong. But then we found a parking area around the corner, not as close to the cache, but with a nice path leading directly to the cache. It took us some time to find the cache - it is well hidden. Thanks for the cache.

Extremely well camouflaged cache # 4 (GC1AHX7)
Traditional Cache
Avatarius and I searched for this cache for about 1½ hours, but didn’t find it. We searched every tree, branch, plant and on the ground within 30 meters of the coordinates, several times. Event went further away and looked but we didn’t find anything but leaves, plants and empty beer bottles.
A woman on a horse stopped on the path and asked me about something, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying because of the noise from the road. For a moment I was hoping she knew about the cache and where it was. But I never found out if she was speaking German, Dutch or Luxembourgish, or what she was trying to say, because when I walked down the hill to be able to hear her, she waved goodbye and rode away.

Traditional Cache
There had been a lot of foresting in the area: All the lower branches and small trees were cut down and were scattered on the ground. We found the camouflaged cache on the ground near a tree. It was open and the logbook was soaking wet. We carefully pulled it out, but it was falling apart. So we took pictures of the logbook and placed a new piece of paper with our names on it, and tried to hide the cache where we thought it might have been.

This was our first cache on our vacation in Luxembourg. We had planned to stay at a camp site, but our bags with tent and sleeping bags were not on the plane, so we had to find a hotel for the night instead. We decided to drive north east and luckily we had our GPSr and PDA in my handbaggage, so we could find some geocaches on the way.
This is a nice area, we liked the long bridge. We did notice the cache description print-out in the cache, but we thought that the cache owner had placed it there to make sure everyone had another chance of reading the description., which we thought was a neat idea since it’s easier to read paper than a text on a pda.

Næsten klar til rejsen
Friday, August 8th, 2008I morgen tidlig tager Mike og jeg til Luxemburg en uge. Vi flyver derned og har lejet en bil. Så vil vi køre rundt en uge, sove på campingplads i telt og finde en masse cacher og forhåbentlig se en masse spændende og flotte steder. Jeg glæder mig helt vildt. Jeg aner ikke en skid om landet, hvilket en af årsagerne til vi har valgt lige det land. Et andet godt argument er at der er forholdsvist få cacher, så vi kan tage dem alle med i GPS’en og på pda’en, og så se hvor mange vi gider finde. Landet er kun på størrelse med Fyn, og der er knapt 500 cacher. Jeg har løst ca. 20 mysteries, ellers vil vi mest gå efter traditionelle og se hvad vi kan læse om de steder vi bliver ført hen af gps’en. Måske vi tager et smut ind i Belgien og/eller Frankrig (vi har et par cacher med fra begge lande)
Nå, jeg må hellere pakke færdigt så vi kan komme i seng og være friske og udhvilede i morgen.
Læsø -> Fyn
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Efter en dejlig uge hos mor og Timo drog vi hjemad. Vi syntes der var lige lovligt langt at køre helt til Ballerup, så vi nøjes med at køre til Fyn, hvor vi kunne overnatte hos G og hans forældre ligesom på vejen herop.
A Russian Cache (GC16H2M) - #818
Vi fandt lige denne da vi var kommet i land fra Læsøfærgen før vi kørte sydover til Fyns land. Sjov opgave, som ikke voldte specielt besvær.
Det er altid hyggeligt at besøge G. Vi fik dejlig mad, godt selskab og gode senge at sove i. Hvad kan man mere ønske sig?
