Found 26 November 2022, 13:51 Tungmar found the geocache

After the exciting find of the Polish cache in Fort Sperone, I headed to this one. Thanks to the OC listing, it was the third and final goal of today (but the day was not over and there was some bycatch on the way back).

I took the nice path along the north side of the ford, so I had to walk down the hill a bit to reach this cache location. I also searched quite a bit, moving further and further away from picture P04. But then I found the cache. A delightful hide and a good box! Thank you mojoint!

For the first time in years, there was also some thong in the cache, which I would like to trade. That happened in the fifteen years sice my first geocache find, maybe twice. But I found the spinning dice-crab-thing just to fun – and I actually had some figure to trade with me.

The fort also looks impressive from this side. A great spot to visit. After that, I hiked over to the next fort. But there were too many people, and I quickly headed back to the city.

IN: Duck figure
OUT: Wired spinning dice-crab-thing

Long ago:

Der Weg hier hoch war für Mensch und (insbesondere) Maschine eine Herausforderung. Aber der Ausblick ist natürlich grandios und absolut lohnenswert!
Dank Hinweis war der Cache leicht zu finden.
TFTC!

Out: Geosem-Coin
