Tibo's & Paas-cache

Beautyfull weather today! We set out for "Tibo's Cache" not far from where we did the last multi, just down the road as a matter of fact.

Magnificient walk thru forests, along ponds and lakes with plenty of variety and interesting sights. Never expected to find a bunker there. Little wooden bridges, babbling brook and lots of empty woods (we started a bit before noon).

Found all the info and all the waypoints without too much trouble, but not the cache.
After 45 minutes we called it quits and headed home not before enjoying a lovely icecream from the vendor who had parked his van near the parking. Happy end afterall :-)

Tibo's Cache is a must if you like walking in the woods and along ponds. Winter or early spring is the best time i think : minimal musquito activity!

Its very easy to include Paascache multi in this multi.

I had received several pathtags from Australia and USA that needed to be set free in the wild and I have been carrying TB Little Red Book for a few weeks now, all of them where to be dropped in Tibo's Cache, but they will be dropped soon. Maybe tomorrow, weather permitting.

Activated some coins

Fear No Cache

Tribute to Lucilinburhuc

and this Happy Anniversary Geocoin, with a fun mission. Let's see how it goes.

If you retrieve or drop this coin on a birthday or a geocaching anniversary of you or someone in your party I will send you a present.
    However, there are a few requirements.
  1. post a picture of the celebrations at the cache (find or drop) : funny hats, drinks, cake ...
    This picture will be used as the default image of this coin, until the next submission.
  2. you cannot hold on to the coin more then 30 days
  3. of course this requires you providing an adress to send the present to.
In the spirit of caching I will take your word if you claim the birthday option, feel free to provide proof.
If it is a geocaching anniversary, milestone find or coin/TB move I can check your profile.

I'm open to suggestions for cunning plans or if you want to surprise someone having a geocaching related anniversary or milestone event, for example send a picture to be used as default picture before the person logs this coin.

And the winning streak continues ...

won 4 more coin auctions. DAMN... I'm gonna quit with those low ball bids! I'm winning all of them.
One coin for €4.25 and another for €6.00 (postage not inc).
thats 2 more coins to be set free or preferably sold.

I have another 13bids in ... luckly already 3 overbids ... here's me hoping for more overbids!

o_O

I bid low on some coins with the idea :"if i get it for that price... why not", but it gets expensive if you put down 20 of those bids and win them all.

What happened on Ebay ?


I had bid on several geocoins, a few i really wanted (so i bid high) and several I wouldnt mind releasing in the wild, so I bid low.

Usually I loose, but not today. I dont know what happened but I have won nearly every auction.
DOH! This morning I had a bill of $100 to pay.

What happened? LOL

Also 2 coins in my mailbox today. One 2006 CITO coin and one birthday present coin which will be leaving on a special mission.

So now there are a couple of coins I am expecting in the mail:
Fear no Cache (see image), really wanted this one.
WMA Wear your orange vest (to set free)
Birka foggy silver
Red Rememberence Poppy (will be set free)
Carpe Diem
2007 Pirate Treasure (will be set free)
Flip Flops - Hibiscus version
Birthday Gift geocoin (will get a fun mission)
2006 CITO coin
