Geocache Description:

Where it began ...

1000 finds

It began here? Not exactly. Actually, it began 2 caches earlier. But at that time, there was a cache placed here that provided me with my first geocaching success. My first FIND, the 3rd cache I visited, the 3rd geocache I had been searching for. But the first I actually found!

So let's have a look at my real start. The cache is called 'Schetzelbuer'. A few days earlier I had been told about that geocaching thing, I visited a course and the instructor from the belgian coast told us what he was doing during each day after the class had finished. It sounded like fun. As I owned a GPSr I had to try ... The start was not so great however. The location was quickly found as I knew it already, actually I thought that it would be a great location for a cache even before I was looking up caches on geocaching.com. OK, so I would not hide a cache there, but finding my first cache would be great aswell! So I thought. Well, it's not easy if you are on the track all by yourself, without support of a more experienced geocacher. I was going around, searching for a long while, but I was not sure what I would have to look for so I had to accept that I had been defeated.

The second try was at 'Raschpetzer'. Again I had no success. But from there it was only a short walk to the location of my first find. This time it was easy, and I could find the cache without problems. Since then my first found cache has been archived as it needed maintenance badly and the owners had not been active geocachers anymore.

In the meantime I had lot's of fun geocaching, visited many geocaches.
Now it's your time to visit the place (again) where it began. Please be careful at the hiding location! Don't do stupid things and it won't be dangerous! Remember to have fun!
