Unser erster Cache.

Gerade weil wir auch den Friedhof gut kennen. Eine tolle Runde über den Friedhof. Wir habe ihn so auch einmal von einer anderen Seite kennen gelernt. Auch den Kids hat es Spass gemacht.

Der Cache benötigt dringend Wartung und Überarbeitung. Schreibe dazu eine PN, weil ich hier nicht spoilern möchte. Ansonsten war der Cache aber zu loggen.

Danke für diesen schönen Cache.
