Now this is one of those geocaches that I heard of but never saw one personally till the day we were in Belgium on the road back to the Netherlands. It all started with let's stop at a geocache to avoid highway and then came look there is another one just a few meters down the road, and this was the one. Guess what we kept on going on with that serie as there were many cool hides out there. The film is ready to be caught ... When we turned on that dirt road and I spotted the geocache from the car I got so excited that I did not really pull down thinking who else would come this way. We jumped out and went for the geocache with a huge smile on our face, finally we meet one of these. The geocache is not too much hidden A pipe with many holes attached to a tree. How complicated could that be? Well at first we thought we'll need to find some tools in our geocaching bag, but then we saw the two metal stick hanging there and we knew the tools are also provided. Pushin...

So far the coolest bird house, high up in the tree and a magnet is what you needed on the end of a stick, a long stick. The birdhouse with the magnet attached to the geocche As it might look simple it is if you have all the tools you need. The hint was clear you need a long enough stick with a magnet at the end. Of course we have one of those telescopic ones, but that is less than a meter long, so it is time to improvise. The geocache from below, hiding in the birdhouse We also have a magnet on a rope, where the rope is at least a few meters long, so that will do, but how do you get it up to the bird house? It is in the woods, and many broken branches are all around on the ground, so I just picked a longer one and attached my magnet with its rope to it and we had the tool we needed. A closer picture of the bird house As you can see it is a small bison capsule in the bottom of the bird house what needs to be pulled down. See the container? When we found this geoc...

When you are in a foreign country searching for a geocache the worst could happen to you is you cannot find, you are not aware of all local law, not sure where you might enter end where not. Searching can take a while even when the difficulty is set to low. The geocache is just hanging in there If you look at the picture of the geocache while it is just hanging there waiting to be found you would say why is it so difficult? It is not, a nice fishing line is holding the film canister in place, all dirt and building materials below, rusty steel here and there. The geocache is out taking a sunbath Not sure what the original purpose of this building was, but now it is more of a ruin than in use. We were already searching for a few minutes or maybe over 15 when the man living really close by just walked towards us. He had a big smile on his face, that got rid of all of our headaches, he knew what we were up to, maybe he put it there? As he got closer he told us it is not i...

We had a short trip to Belgium, down south part, close to Luxembourg and France. As part of the trip we did a few geocaches and collected two new souvernirs. The first geocache we found was not the easiest one, but after some search it was found. All the story in short It was not any heavy rain that day but it was not one of those great to be out there weather. The first problem we were facing with this geocache that the description was all in French, and to be honest our French is a bit rusty. Is that a problem nowadays on a top of some hills? Not really if you have any internet, which was super slow, so before we could translate the hint it took us a few minutes to search around the area. Well camouflaged hide As you can see above this geocache was really well done, hiding in that picket, and also it was not too easy to pull it out so for a split second I wasn't sure if I'm damaging something there or pulling a geocache out. The logroll still in the hole Aft...
