Geocache: Along the river Meuse (Maas)

Unilver, an interesting building The geocache is placed here to mark the building of Unile

A really nice sunny morning, perfect time to go for geocaching. See the tiny geocache I places on the library? In some other mini libraries they mostly hide the geocache in a book, or a bigger container, but this might have happened later then the library and they did not want to mix the two purpose of it. The library I was always thinking of who startes such a smal
