I received my Garmin eTrex a couple of days ago. Today was sunny
and very warm for the season, so I decided this was a fine day to
create the first geocache in Denmark. :-)
The stash is located under the root of a fallen tree in
Smørmosen in the outskirts of Copenhagen. This is an easy 2,
but you will have to get down on your knees to actually see the
stash which is a semi-transparent plastic box with a blue lid and
the words "GPS Stash" written on all sides, holding (in addition to
the log book and a Biro):
- A tin of kippers (best before New Year 2004)
- Red diode lights for your bicycle (or if you're jogging).
Batteries and an arm strap included.
- An "Impossible Puzzle" from Binary Arts.
The canopy was pretty dense and the best accuracy I could obtain
was 12 metres, I'm sorry. But I made quite a few readings and have
taken the average, so you should be able to make it anyway.
I used to "play jungle" in that area when I was a kid, but I
haven't seen the location for more than 25 years and I was very
surprised how much it still looked the same even today. The noise
from the nearby highway has increased by several orders of
magnitude, though.
Enjoy!
