Current Goal

Hello, I am Francisco, the Batavian Turtle. I am on a journey to sail to all corners of the world. Please take me to a distant geocache far, far away.

About This Item

Francisco Bumbu van Pelsaert

Adventure is in my blood, distant shores are my goal! As you may have guessed, a long time ago, my predecessors were eye witnesses to the events of the Batavia at S 28° 30', E 113° 47'. Please be so kind as to send my folks back home a postcard from your home town. The address is on http://www.telagakura.net/kurakura/teamgangga.

Now follows the real pick-up from the cache "Kyselak", where this TB came from the cache "Prédikálószék", without being logged (yet) by those who took her there and dropped her here... (we made a fake log before to clean up the database).

Now herewith the reality and the logs meet again: The turtle is in our (green) paws!

This is a fake drop log, for the TB was found by us in te cache "Kyselak" without being there (and being somewhere far else) according to the logs. We investigated its last spot and fakelogged her up to now to clean up the database.

(Maybe the "transporter" did all that today and just could not log it, and we found the bug before he/she could log all this, but anyway, we spared him/her the logging work then :-)

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/13/2008 OldNat retrieved it from Prédikálószék (Preacher-chair) Pest, Hungary   Visit Log

This is a "fake" retrieve, for the bug is not where it seems to be according to the logs. Some taker did not log her, but she is already moved...

For this TB was definitely not in the cache "Prédikálószék" (GC5E1A) which is a Hungarian cache (long ago archived here at geocaching.com).

Note there:
"November 27, 2006 by haggaeus (1413 found)
The coordinates are still not updated, no response from the owner, archiving the listing.
Haggaeus, geocaching.com volunteer reviewer"

Seemingly that cache is still alive on the Hungarian site (logs from May this year seem to show this, so they still log the archived box, perhaps it could be de-archived again?)

Anyway, somebody took the TB out there, and who knows how she came to be dropped in the Cache "Kyselak" (GCZXZM) for all this is not logged (yet, maybe it happened just today and the "transporter" just could not yet log all this); but we today found and retrieved her from "Kyselak". So we also do a fake drop to Kyselak before retrieving the bug from there, to make the database clean again :-)

After such Odyssey she comes to the Vienne GC Event with us next Friday!

😮

We discovered it in Csömör, we think that the former holder was a litle shaky with the registration on this website. The bug might have been also by "Lake Naplas" (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?id=62928) and by Blackberry-valley (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?id=36671)
We founded here. We will send you a postcard as soon as possible. 😉
