Geocache Description:

This container is about the size of a bison tube. There is only
room for a log so no trading possible here. Bring your own pen
also, if you wish to sign the log! Please try to place the cache
just as you found it :) Thanks and have fun!
Note: We used the iPhone to record the coordinates but it tends to be inaccurate. So if you find coordinates that are more accurate please post them. We would really appreciate it! Thanks :)

We just recently got into Geocaching and it has been quite an experience! My girlfriend and I have been going around finding multiple ones each day, because it is a nice way to spend our free time and we definitely get some good exercise out of it! :) There have many clever geocaches that have inspired me to create my own.
One of my other interest is history, especially that during the Cold War. I spend much of my time reading books and watching documentaries on it. So one day I was sitting down trying to come up with an idea for our first geocache and of course, history came across my mind! I decided I would take a map of Cold War Europe and place a map of the city of Santa Clara over it, then mark where the capitals of Eastern European countries would be in comparison to the Santa Clara map. Where the two maps match, is the deciding factor in which we will place the geocaches. So in this series you can locate 9 geocaches.

Once the geocache has been created and published I will link them so you can easily move on to the other caches. This is a work in progress and I hope to complete it by the end of April. Also, I hope to move to western Europe. If you have anything that relates to any of these countries, please feel free to leave something behind. It'd be a nice way to get exposure to other cultures.
