Happy New Year

For the first day of the year 2009 we decided to take our bikes and ride to a castle only about 4 Km from our camping site. We could combine four caches on this short trip.

The first one we discovered was a mystery cache (GC1J176 - Geonopoly - Schlossallee), it was near the start of the multi-cache we planned to do. We logged this one at 14:00.

We went for a short multi-cache (GCPJDP - Moylands letztes Schlossgespenst), we had to find a little ghost (translation for gespenst).
Here are the boys with the castle on the back.

The G-x marks the spot.

Here's the ghost uncovered together with our team mascot.

The third cache was hidden on a cemetery very nearby as well, we did a quick check but couldn't find it so we decided not to search further because we don't like the idea of snooping around graves. It's just not our thing.
So we rode back to another cache that was exactly on the road we had to take (GC1D323 - Katharinas Känguru). It is of type mystery cache, normally you have to solve a puzzle at home and in this way find the coordinates of the cache. In this case it was more a short multi cache, first we had to visit a honorary statue for fallen soldiers during the first and second world war. Photobucket
Here we had to figure out a couple of questions and with the answers the coordinates of the final cache could be calculated.

Then in the cache-box a puzzle was hidden that we had to solve and we had to mail the prove to the cache-owner.

We found the cache-box and logged this one at 15:45.

Inside we discovered a TB that we exchanged with one of the TB's on our possession, here' the bug together with our mascot.

Making our total of caches like this:
