Die Dosenfischer – der letzte Vorhang

Die Dosenfischer – seit 10 Jahren eine Institution in der deutschen, wenn nicht sogar europäischen, Geocaching Community. Über die Jahre haben sie unzählige Geocacher mit ihrem Podcast und ihren Liedern, die sich thematisch mit Geocaching beschäftigen, erfreut. Doch alles Gute hat ein Ende (bekanntlich hat nur die Wurst zwei), und so gaben aba, sandmann, stotco, DimiB und Seasack anlässlich des MEGA Switzerland – Meeting Friends 2017 ihr letztes Konzert.

Geocaching HQ hatte die Gelegenheit nach dem Auftritt mit der Band zu sprechen.

Use coordinates to find a location, search until you make the find, open the container, sign the log, make trades, then replace the container. Repeat as often as the heart desires, or as often as the obsession requires.

I recently posted about finding a T5 geocache in my flip flops on my personal Facebook wall. Many of my geocaching friends around the world think I’m incredibly silly (or just plain stupid) for geocaching in my flip-flops, but I do it anyway.

Multi-Cache

Difficulty:
4
Terrain:
5
Location:
Islas Canarias, Spain
N 28° 18.089′ W 016° 50.411′
The Masca Gorge is a Nature Conservation Zone

Some Multi-Caches are quick grabs that you can find during your lunch break, while others are much more labor intensive, taking you through multiple neighborhoods, around winding forests, or even requiring a drive to a different city. This T5 Multi-Cache, located in Spain’s Canary Islands, will send you on a three-hour long trek through a basaltic ravine to an isolated beach.

The journey begins in Masca, a small mountain village on the island of Tenerife. Home to only 90 inhabitants, the village is situated 650 meters (2130 feet) above sea level in the Macizo de Teno mountains.
