Far Flung Places Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

globalgirl: Speaking of "Far Flung Places"...

As I'm headed off to some g-forsaken rice paddy in Southeast Asia next summer, I'm slowly shrinking my cache hide inventory here in the Emerald City. Yup, the globalgirl is going truly "global" - blowing this dear U.S. of A. pop stand, and moving to Vietnam. Special thanks to Joe and lamoracke for kindly picking up the game piece for me - the final 2 finders on this one.

Geocache Description:

Just a little somethin' I cooked up to celebrate relocating to my new geosandbox here in Left Seattle. I also thought it was about time I placed a cache in keeping with my nomadic moniker, and thus...  a string of charming hamlets scattered all over the globe:

Far flung places... Neath, Wales - Éperay, France - Itanagar, India - Galan, Vietnam - Hurghada, Egypt - Taplejung, Nepal - Tira, Israel - Warri, Nigeria - Otavalo, Equador - Espoo, Finland - Inishcrone, Ireland - Guanare, Venezuela - Haik, Ethiopia - Tuvalu

Though not required reading, do click on the links if you like, to learn more about each of the locales.  Think of it as a chance to broaden your horizons and learn a bit about the many obscure corners of this wondrously diverse Planet we all call home.

Oh, and did I mention - the decimal minutes of the above coordinates are bogus, alas they'll not help you find this cache.  You're looking for just the final 3 digits of each coordinate.

There's just enough room in the cache for a few small trading items (I've seeded it with a couple of trinkets along with a "globe" edition of my gg sig token - yup, the glass globe marble looks much like the image above - they're trackable HERE)  And while I've tucked in a pathetic little pencil, it's probably best if you BYOP for this one.

Happy Trails!

Please note: This cache is not available from 11:30 pm to 4 am.  Do use stealth while hunting and pillaging, and be alert for muggles - especially the prying eyes of nearby neighbors.
