Filling the matrix: 2018-04-16 and the police and the flood

Image
Did I get into trouble while geocaching? Yes and no. At least I met a really friendly agent or officer? How are the cops working for the sheriff called? Ok let's start with the flood. A dead end road This geocache I was after is located in Mississippi state in the United States, not far from Memphis. Work got me here and I had some extra hours to spend so what else to do then picking geocaches which are helping filling up some of the matrixes? I came well prepared for the trip, put together different trails to hunt down and I also had some simple ones to get the statistics going. I read the last logs of this geocache as well and they were mentioning road closure and that you can still walk to the geocache, so I said some walk won't hurt. When I arrived to the location I saw it will be a bit over a few steps, but come on I flew over the ocean to get to this geocache some walk won't stop me. Used to be a building? So I parked in front of the big signs and the ro...

Geocache: Under the skirt and a smiling muggle

Image
This time in Tennessee at some dining place. I was just in a store across the parking lot when I finished I quickly checked and I saw there is one, not further than 50 meters from me. I had a long day and I was in the USA, so let me do it the American way. The container under the skirt I jumped back into the car and parked the car right in front of the light pole. Smiled at myself and immediately started thinking what excuse could I tell myself not to walk that few steps, but drive. And then the sun shined into my eyes and I had the excuse, I had to cover my search and the car was the cover, so I had to park it there. The container After finding my excuse I jumped out of the car with my gear (camera, pen) and started the search. Wow this sound like there was a huge search needed, so I lifted up the skirt, and there you go found this tiny capsule. This could get a bit higher difficulty as to get the log out of the capsule was not so easy turning the cap and then pulling the ...

Geocache: Ammo box, fire, tanks

Image
I looked this geocache up a lot before I went to Memphis. It is an ammo box hidden at a place which from above had already something to offer, so I could not go home without finding this. Ammo box in the fireplace  I arrived at the location with high hopes, and an easy find. At the end it was easy to find but gave me some headache. I'm personally not a big fan of front or backyard geocaches, especially in the USA, where people might have weapons, so trespassing is not a thing you really want to do. When checking out online the geocache I was hoping to have it somewhere on one of the tanks or other objects, but not at a fireplace. The fireplace with the geocache on the right bottom I was walking or rather wandering around the area, hoping that my GPS is not pointing at the right place, I was considering leaving when I looked at all the pictures available and one with a little kid in the place made me feel secure enough to go and search. When I found (to be honest it was ...

Geocache: You have mail ...

Image
This one was really one I gave a FAVO, it deserved it. A postbox to hide the geocache, what a brilliant idea, it is just out there for any muggle to see, however none really touches it. There's your mail or not? This is not one of those difficult to find geocaches, especially if you read the description or hint, but still it is just out in public and not getting muggled. According to the cache owner there was one earlier that disappeared often so the container had to be hidden. A picture from the side while the postbox is closed. At this point while sitting at the airport in Atlanta the alarm went off, not sure what is going on, but not too many people started running around so I decided to keep on writing this blog, and that I keep on listening to music. How do you like the pink stones in the parking lot? I personally not a big fan of pink, but my daughter when they were smaller they for sure loved anything pink. The whole parking lot belongs to a restaurant, which...
