caching colleagues


Two colleagues picked up caching and a few days ago we went out on a short caching run during our lunchbreak.
We only went for 2 trads in the vicinity of the barracks : Haie des Champs and Geen Boemel, two quick finds, all though Geen Boemel did takes some minor searching since I forgot where it was we found it the first time.
Caching in a team is fun :-)

TFTC ThumbsUp Pathtag going in production


I designed this pathtag and some friends in the PT community chipped in by ordering tags totalling 150tags. Donna from Sommer Family is our stateside helper, she will be receiving the payments and the box of 150 tags which she will then distribute to all who chipped in, this is keeping the cost very low. I am very gratefull that she volunteered for that. Keeps the price per tag low, otherwise it would cost more to ship to Belgium and then more to post the small packages of tags back to the US friends.

Hopefully we'll be dropping these tags in belgian caches soon. More tags to come, the next tag will be either a Limburg or a Tongeren one, both designs are ready.

Trilogy became a lone multi


I keep doing this : thinking of a powertrail to give more cache for the buck but then end up making it just the one or two. So again decided to turn the 3 caches into 1 multi.
Today we went out in the rain and planted some materials then Edith went home and i continued to discover the rest of the forest in the rain. Found some brilliant spots so all the plans were changed. Now I have a multi I would like doing.
Just have to place the rest of the materials and the cache.

Yesterday evening I went out and planted a traditional at a nearby chateau. Chateau Renesse in 's Herenelderen. Some back and forth with the reviewer about the difficulty level vs wheelchair accessibility but it got published this afternoon and already the FTF and STF are logged.

Same evening I went and dug the hole for a TB Hotel. It feels very weird digging a hole near a busy motorway, at night. What if someone -police- drives up and starts asking questions?
Just have to finish the protection and I can submit it. Finally I can put that big Lock&Lock box to good use.

One good thing about placing these caches : it frees up some space on the shelves in the workshop. Allthough with the plans of the powertrail there was going to be more space.
