What Are The Barnacles On Mahoganys Chest

crow is the end of the Federal Trevirer close

Verschlussache Confidential: It's done, and I'm frankly just as happy as exhausted. After many years, agrees with my 100th Cache for me a circle. I have long envisioned the people who just made my fun times early Cache technical experience to beam back into the past. "Back to the roots" was the motto for the preparation of this Adventure ... And since the first two parts of the secret society series my caches 2 and 3 were urged to continue here, not to say a final. For years (sic) I carry around with ideas to me, but I failed, due to their incorporation into one or more secret society sequels, both puzzle-like story technically. Much research and Probiererei also led to no more than a couple of pipe dreams. But the horror when another cache in a "hotspot" went live was real But I have very long envisaged location to which one belongs Some sort of cache (not a spoiler, believe me, it can not be practically googling remained this way) continue unbedost: What luck! And a few months then the breakthrough came in the form of a brainwave that made it possible to build the fifth and last part ... Now it finally voted again with the motivation and I could see the dark winter months to take advantage of the excellent story and put together to do the real work, which consisted, among other things, the ideas to real stations, working puzzles, draw, etc..

would soon be a tester also be found, who kept me in all of the possible content and links on the right track, because too much overburden will it also not true. To make matters worse I had to this time for an important station still not found the right place and knew roughly where it ought to be found. But even this kennyone10 discovered, and that too based on the sparse, partly false information from me and other sources. Persistence pays off sometimes just yet, and it was thus eventually also proved that it is possible ... whether it be another life back under control I do not know, somehow he is no longer available since then :-)

now invested a few euro and the Aufhübschen hour, a last round of lay in a really interesting location and "fast" or set the listing, which went live today, now, in the form of the first hybrid letterbox Trier (at least as far as I know). Also, the cache type should just be something special. Therefore, there is also a beautiful thematic stamp in the Final (leave there, this is not a trade item).

Now the tension increases, because how long it will take until the cache is found, and everything will work as intended, but above all: What are the last, truly incredible secrets of the Federal Trevirer? Suffice it to reveal: Your Take on a search, in Those obtained during your evidence, which shake the foundations of our civilization that you some familiar places from a different angle and some unknown, but all the show more interesting places to be, and still do the odd surprise the application offers. The central scene is once again our beautiful city and its environment. The making of which we may be downloaded as a reward after the find the way, is still in production - current page status: 26, and there are still far from all backgrounds is mentioned ...

I wish you not in the name of less strained kennyone10 lot of fun and a few unique experiences to your search ...

Lock Combination Calculator Letters

cache profile Trier

"Aaargh, again a rate hook!" - Tenor that you read more often in logs, and I catch myself from time to time at the thought. Instead of sitting in front of the PC you will somehow get out and can be the basis of a rather beautiful multinationals through the area, is a tradition, etc. But

sooo bad it's not - at least in relative terms! Since Trier is namely only 19% share of Mystery plenty low in national comparisons. If you Xylanthrops interesting statistic may be regarded as representative of us actually Tradis with around 50% in the gross national average. Only the multi-caches something fall out of line, because with just under 30%, we are nevertheless ranked 8 of the 70 selected cities. Just the way we like it too, right? So what we really complain ... ;-)

the way, who the interested archived caches in Trier which also takes back to Xylanthrop a statement. At first glance it looks quite large and I can think of no one cache, which would be missing. On the contrary, there is sure to discover even one or two who appear to exist only as short, giving me "Durchgewitscht" was ...

Love Me Tender, Homeless Gypsy Woman

The Greenhorn (Tour Report 2 / 3): See you up!

The long-overdue sequel to Greenhorn Tour Report ...

roped ascent

The Gspaltenhorn ridge
... and while my stomach during the day on it was still wondering whether he likes the breakfast had the others already saddled and we were in the dark soon the debris field, which is played down in the guide as "a bit cumbersome" intentionally. In general I think the guide literature was written only to Green horns like to stay away. There, what is a "short climb to the saddle (3020m), here is the whole slope strewn with rocks, the way it is always hard to see and even steeper. Gisbert probably thought the same thing and surprised us with his decision to descend again to the hut. I personally (and I mean this seriously for a change) My eyes nearly popped out of such ownership. While many over-estimate and target group and felt compelled to go, he realized that today was just not good at it and decided in time: Respect! Perhaps he also had only the information advantage that there was already waiting before the princess promised?
Gspaltenhorngrat top

exposed Gratzacken
to So four of us continued to rise and soon reached the start of the "short" some with fixed ropes and poles Gratkletterei insured in the II-III. Degrees. Still, we were even good at the time, but that should change, for "short" is a relative term. Already posted in the first part view on the trinity and many other mountains was very impressive and gave rise to extensive photo stops (apropos: Who will find the right person in the picture). Jürgen could impress us by every single corner appointed and I have the serious suspicion that he has learned by heart beforehand specifically for the tour. Unfortunately I could not keep my name and now has to glue photos Sun We climbed further to soon the sometimes very airy ridge and reached far more than the time allotted to the driver at last the summit.

Gspaltenhorn (3436m)

The Gspaltenhorn (3436m) is a very impressive mountain and a real insider tip that was selected outstanding: Isolated and not crowded, he has one of the highest and most demanding North faces of the Alps (1700m), which the Eiger North Face is more than equal in height and difficulty, and an excellent view, in short: A real mountain jewel, and as Geocaching yes the show is almost as little noticed features created for . If only the stones were not many, which one can easily take each other on the head. The magnificent view to look deep into the north wall, we enjoyed the best weather might be too long, just like the Gratkletterei also on the way back somehow not shortened. And so we came back just in time for dinner at the hut, where we spoke out with "Pleasure Tour". Well, the economy was indeed already used the previous day.

Aletsch
After descending into the valley and the trip to Fiesch finally a night worthy of the name also: We stayed at the hotel, cable car middle station and were the only camp guests. The hot showers were after our two and a half days, a real mountain experience. But I had made the foresight to not use it, I knew that it is the next day on the Aletsch and its sometimes quite impressive columns formations go to the Concordia hut (2850m), and there I would probably return as Ölsardine between the others are: without a shower you have clearly more space!

Konkordiaplatz from the hut
on the glacier then were contrary to my initial fears (almost) good to see all the columns and the rise of so easily. The huge Konkordiaplatz and the many special features on the glacier (several moraines, of course glacier tables, drains, caves, ice mountains and even a bit old), lasting impression. But the weather began to make us worry. It was rainy and from noon the next day was bad weather predicted According to host so we will inevitably be fast for a good tour. Dawned on us that we would probably leave tomorrow to enjoy part in the hut.

To be continued ...

Here are some unsorted correspondents in the region about running for a good (re) joined up in 2011 ...

offers from February Marc Pschebizin again a run-rate, well suited as preparation for a half marathon on.
In
City Sports Trier you can leave a treadmill test and analysis on running shoes sometimes. A small, fine running shop ...

Herbert Steffny (Trier) in the near future holds in Trier a few lectures. The quota is limited!

are local running clubs almost everywhere, just googled here ...

And some events in the region:
February Lies carnival run
March Trier X-Duathlon , Half Marathon-Rhine Country Championships Mülheim (only through association)
April experience running Schweich , Grevenmacher Easter run
May Ruwerlauf Mertesdorf , bike path running Hermeskeil , Middle Rhine Hochwald Marathon Koblenz

And: Bitburger Läufercup (different races in the region)

This list is not exhaustive, but others that's what the comments. The above-mentioned City shop is also like an annual fun run calendar of the region. And the friend of the people has a regional race calendar online.

There is still the diverse (half-) marathon events such as Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Mainz, and more. These can be combined with a beautiful sightseeing, things to watch out only that one day is not too sore before the feet on the sightseeing tour ...

When Do I Know When My Period Is Over

Gilly's Playground Contest

Thanks to the old metal (at least I've seen since it first) now makes Gilly's Blog Contest the rounds of the Geocachingblogs. With further contributions are expected to increase well, and I do not even know how many I missed again. Anyway, I usually never win anything, but in Geocaching-environment, I had been twice lucky: Once, a few Exped poles (which are now battered by several tasty trips, I was not even there yet provide same assay * shame *), and an even redeemed voucher at the Trier Vikings (* happy *) ...

Viral marketing at its best I would say ... which does not do anything for 1 +7 Lose ... current expected value of projected gross: 1300 comments, perhaps half of bloggers,> 2000 € prices = (count snot gurgling brooding) nearly 3 € or something ... Decreasing tendency of strong ...

I sincerely promise already: The next post (coming tomorrow) is again related blog! follows

Welcome To My Practice, Sample Letter

Europe 2010: Luxembourg forward!

As in previous years of the year again the statistics of the cache densities and growth rates in Europe. Number as of 12/27/2010.


Luxembourg has overtaken Germany in the cache density is now final and in Europe with 0.51 Caches/km2 clear front (world probably, but I have not examined). And in spite of the continued strong growth in us. However, the Luxembourg with 64% are simply closer to their previous level of 70% left turn, what has surprised me now anyway. Among the listed "top countries" in Europe, only Belgium could increase the growth rate, all other countries follow the trend of a continued strong, but more or less clearly declining growth.

be emphasized once over France. There, the cittern already since the beginning of more widespread than geocaching, but this seems to turn slowly, so France is in Europe with 65% growth now narrowly ahead of Luxembourg and Spain at number 1, so I venture the prediction that the cache density in France will continue to improve greatly, and expect to France next year at a higher position. After all, are still available over 77,000 cittern, significantly more than the some 23,000 caches there. These were counted together with France would be a total density of just under 0:15 Caches/km2 ranked 10th in Europe Since it is known almost only in France cittern are the French, however, caching is just as happy on holiday, the move may well continue.

Otherwise, there are no significant changes. All of the countries are developing similar, with variations, and position changes, there are no really significant. It settles down ...

Some countries are still not listed here because they have simply far too low overall density, or much too small to be representative listed with (only a few new caches would cause too great a change). Usually, the well bedosten just limited areas in the large countries to typical tourist places / regions, and locally quite a relatively high cache density can be achieved (eg Balearic Islands: 0.125 Caches/km2 Ca.).

New additions include Cyprus and Latvia. Cyprus is just interesting as a tourist destination with access to 13th place. Latvia seems to me along with Italy, the most promising of the countries listed have not to be. When I created this statistic for the first time I put the limit at 0.02 Caches/km2 to keep the table clear. Unfortunately, this Italy (0.018) have, Hungary (0.015) and Lithuania (0,015) again missed. Liechtenstein (at least 0.53 Caches/km2 and theoretically # 1!) and Malta (0.26) as falling through space grid with just 160 or 316 km2.

Most countries in Europe higher than the global growth rate of 33% (which incidentally was the year before at 38%). At first glance this may seem surprising. But considering that the protagonist is growing weaker in this statement (I once estimated roughly 560,000 geocaches are currently in the U.S.), then this is quite expected Sun In the rest of the world (excluding North America and Europe) then "only" roughly estimated 210 000 caches, and some of them are probably subject to much stronger growth trend.

PS: This article was previously created, I'm currently on vacation and leave comments but unfortunately can only unlock again in a few days. However, I am of course (constructive) criticism. The terms are subject to change.

Stila Lip Glaze Stick Swatch

cache density states

For the past year again a small list on the growth of the geocaches in the provinces. Will soon follow even Europe. I can already tell that in Europe is much more movement than in Germany, with a little surprise.


In Germany, Berlin in terms of cache density Hamburg now be replaced in each case a high level of around 2.4 Caches/km2. That expected in the city states and the state capital, the highest densities cache is not really so surprising and so this is still well ahead of all other countries. At the end of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg have exchanged the position, and that was it for now.

The "activity" (cache / population), the ranking looks completely different, where our state ranks Rheinland-Pfalz Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg at least fifth place RLP is also closest to the West German average density.

In the Republic, the average density is now 0.46 Caches / km2, which represents a further significant increase of 40%. This represents the previous year rate (08> 09) of 58% to the expected decline in growth trend is dar. My prediction that we will see a slower approach to becoming the "zero line" of 0%. At least in the next 2-3 years but there will be further strong growth. If and when "zero growth" is achieved at present I dare not predict.

more general explanations Please consult the statistics in the previous posts ... hardly necessary here to argue that these statistics only the growth trend, but can not show the qualitative trends. This article has been automatically published, comments are always appreciated, but can be activated only in a few days. Thank you!

2010 Happy New Year! Geocaching

We wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

I would like to take this opportunity again to get a few things from 2010 to abstract and anonymous in Review. Especially to me in 2010, the formation of (Let's call it ...) ecological niches noticed. It pursues its targeted special cache interests and preferences, and more and more people are now using an ignore list. I still think everyone deserves a chance to cache, but we all should really be careful to put more interesting caches, with a genuine experience. I am personally in 2010, almost entirely moved away from the previously normal daily tours of the home zone and connect the local doses usually with other trips while I take this day trips specific to caches as 24 or Gutsknecht, and some of my cache activity now in the as always holidays have put scarce.

now again I do not want any high-or low light cud, but are also unfortunately happens again this year many things that were already on the "Shit List" of 2009. "High-frequency trend is" one might say once more, explained at least in my opinion the series, Ehrenfeld and maintenance calls as well as premature Kurzlogs. Occasionally, even sabotaged, and there is injury, unfortunately, still now and then. But even "real" problems arose emanating fortunately all well and settled mostly been very constructive (such as the filing of two T5ern). Personal contact provides for recurring conflicts not surprisingly, mostly for significant mitigation. But enough of these things.

For me the highlight of 2010 was the realization that we, despite the strong growth continues to be a really creative and good community in the region, which (as we at events, at 24, saw, etc.) works very well. The Home Zones are smaller, the larger events. This is not necessarily bad, because many of us really out of it as creative and put cans. The Forum X, for which we had a top-organizing team, made me really a lot of fun. First, it was more planned for later years, but then the reality overtook us in the form of 10-year-icons, and of course we had to bring to Trier. Thus quite a few people sweated to the brief in the time get everything added. Furthermore, we try to cooperate with organizations with the goal of geocaching to guide them on good tracks. So we can with the environmental foundation RLP under the EU Life initiative is a good project off the ground.

Inspired by these things is also distinguished another event in cooperation with the provincial Forestry specifically aimed for beginners in a well-known, interesting location. Details to be clarified, but it scheduling is more likely to late summer. Since the 2011 season looking for more activities other means I do not know how I can do most of the organization here, so I am very happy that there are people like Etaigel that make this an outstanding job. Since the concept of the Forum X arrived very well there are already first ideas again to launch something on a broader scale and with new surprises, it will also be including a question of time. And last but not least, the secret society is currently just 5 in the test and various preparations for Secret Files 2, etc. are already or soon. Time will cache ... :-) Last but not least

a completely different highlight in 2010. In the winter season, I again visited various lectures and events, including the very impressive, plenty of autobiographical lecture "30 Years of Adventure" by Michael Martin (Empfehlung! Must go, he still tours ...). In part, he mentioned the "Gateway to Hell", an old crater, the escaping gas burns over a large area, which looks particularly impressive at night. Earth to the cache I have now found and wanted to give you time as a task for 2011, on the way, the FTF is finally out ;-)

In this sense: Happy hunting!

PS: This is a self-published articles, comments, unfortunately I can only re-activate in about one week. Thank you, that you still leave something constructive here ;-)
