  • Found GC7PEG1 The Cachington Tour

    This checkin to GC7PEG1 The Cachington Tour reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I happened to be passing through with a little time to spare so I thought I'd take another run at this one. Unfortunately my first attempt had seen me make my notes on the back of my โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC98N6Q Tar Lakes/South Leigh Loop #14 Final Destination reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After all the amazing containers and hiding places I've seen on this excellent series, this final destination almost felt... mundane, by comparison. Not that that's a problem, and I was still happy to โ€ฆ

Visited to check on this new cache: especially as the container is a new design I wanted to do an early checkin to ensure it's bedded in nicely. Glad to say all is well! Also dropped off โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC8YZKJ Sunken Bunker reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
