2. If you want, you can log this travel bug as "discovered" on the date we meet.

3. $100 USD for returning this travel bug tag and backpack if I lose them.

I stopped here after riding the ferry to view the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The cache was in good condition with an almost new log page. I signed the log and replaced the cache as I found it. Thanks for hiding this cache here and maintaining it.

We got a later start than planned today, but my daughter Sidekick and two of my granddaughters hiked with me to this one and found it without difficulty. It was well hidden, and the contents were dry. This was the girls' first cache, so it was nice to see it full of "treasure". The kids traded swag while I signed the log, and we left an additional small handful of foreign coins.
Thanks, Hoot, for hiding this cache here.

The weather was just too good to work all day, so I took a 1 hour break to find this one. Both containers and contents were in good condition. The view at the first stop was really nice, and a small private airplane passed over on its landing approach while I was there. It took me more than a few minutes to find the final container; but once I saw the hiding spot, it was one of those, "Well, duh!" moments. It was hidden well, and I replaced it just as I found it after I signed the log and left the "Support Our Troops" travel tag.
The local police parked along the road nearby while I was logging my find. I was mostly hidden from view, so I just continued logging and then walked past them to my car when I finished. I half expected to get stopped and questioned, but wasn't.
Thanks for hiding this cache.

This one took me awhile to find even though it was within the area my iPhone was showing as GZ. The contents were dry, and I saw four TBs and a Geocoin. I took the "Support Our Troops" USA Flag Tag and left an assortment of foreign coins from five countries.
Thanks for hiding this cache.

I thought I'd not have enough time to search for a cache on this trip, but this one was just a short walk from the hotel. I started out just as it was getting dark, and using the iPhone app, I walked right to the cache and found it without difficulty. It was in good condition, and the logbook was dry. I signed the same page as Marlou and left the cache as I found it.
Thanks for hiding this one here.

The weather forecast doesn't look good for the next couple days, so I ventured out for a short hike this afternoon to drop off a Geocoin I found recently in a cache in Shanghai, China. It started its journey in the Czech Republic; so whoever finds it next, please keep it moving and don't claim it for personal swag.

The cache was hidden appropriately and in good condition. I left the coin in the container holding the logbook and camera, signed the log, and replaced everything as I found it.

Thanks for placing this cache.

Since a direct route was not possible, I could have walked either of two directions from my hotel. I didn't realize how fortunate my choice had been until after I'd found the cache and tried to leave by a different way! After a few attempts, I concluded there may be only one way through the labyrinth.
The place was quiet with no one nearby when I arrived near GZ. I consulted the hint rather than waste time searching and drawing unwanted attention and soon had the cache in hand. I remove the Signs of the Zodiac Geocoin, signed the log, and returned the cache to its hiding place.

Thanks for hiding this cache here.

I'm such a fan of virtual caches that I couldn't pass this one by without visiting. As is usually the case, I was brought to an interesting place I wouldn't have otherwise known about. Thanks for creating this cache to bring me here.

This one took the better part of the afternoon for me to complete, but it was completely worth it. I saw a couple new places I hadn't visited before, and I had the satisfaction of completing another multi. I was a little hesitant to retrieve the cache after spotting it, so I bought a bottle of water from the nearby proprietor and asked him if he was familiar with goecaching. When he affirmed he was, I then asked permission to retrieve the cache, to which he assented. I signed the last page of one of the logbooks, though there remains room on the reverse of most of the pages. Nevertheless, some of the older logbooks and pages could be removed to make room for trade items.
Thanks for taking the time to create this interesting multicache.

Using a poor internet translation of the cache page, I set out for this one last evening. About the only thing I (think) I understood was that the cache could be approached in different ways, a homeless person lived nearby, and search shouldn't be made after dark. My first two attempts to approach GZ were unsuccessful and darkness soon set in set in, so I gave up the hunt for the night.
I set out on foot from the hotel again this morning, and found a good approach on my second attempt. The cache was covered sufficiently but hidden exactly as many caches are, so finding it was not difficult. There were no travelers inside, so I signed the log and left a U.S. coin and a U.S. Nature Conservancy 10th anniversary pin I found in a cache a few years ago.
Thanks for hiding this cache.
