One initiation and a special encounter at a special cache



Today I drove 1.5hours to Bob, a colleague and friend who is a nature guide and wanted to see what geocaching is about. The cache of the day was the multi "Tête de chien", which is only a 20minute walk from his place. Noe, his son found all 3 caches we did together. Both Bob and Noe enjoyed the hunt.
The multi was well setup and in beautyfull scenery! Enjoyed it!

After a coffee I headed home but first had to visit a special cache with special coordinates "Geocache" at N50°00.000 E005°00.000. Quickly found it.
As I walked back to the car another car pulled up and the driver walks into the woods. We greet and it turns out to be fonduvork (also active on www.geocaching.be, we both walk to the cache and while he logs I show him my "not about the numbers" coin so he can discover it. "Oh, I also have some coins with me you can discover"... DOH... Crocodile Dundee moment : "that's not a knife! THIS is a knife"
He takes out a baggy with 11 HUGE coins, the one more rare then the next. Even one given to him by the Roth family (= the geocaching.com creators) when they attended an event fonduvork organised. Talk about rare!
