As I recently reached 1000 caches, I thought it would be fun to
create a puzzle with some of my most memorable finds so far.
When you find the cache, I request that you also share in your
log one of your most memorable geocaching moments.
| GC4EEF |
Guadalupe Peak |
| Breath taking hike to highest point in Texas. The
views are amazing. Found with Indigo Parrish, Rock Lizzard and
tlien11. Recorded a small video of the
hike. |
| GCZ5EN |
Advancing Shorelines – Torrey Pines |
| Beautiful walk on the beach as a family to get this
Earthcache, the colors of the cliffs were amazing. Kids had fun
running, playing in the sand... |
| GC1G269 |
7th Annual Texas Challenge |
| Participated in the team challenge with Indigo
Parrish. We finished second after spending the whole morning
running, hiking and climbing at Enchanted Rock. Afterwards we hiked
the whole back loop of the park to grab more caches. Very fun
day! |
| GCRT93 |
Airman's Cave |
| My only 5/5 geocache. Another adventure with Indigo
Parrish. Going though the birth canal was one of the most
psychologically challenging tasks ever for me. I was very glad to
make it to the other side. Another thing that I would never have
done without geocaching. |
| GC1CB4 |
Bells Run Nature Preserve |
| An example of what geocaching is about: a nice hike
in an unknown and beautiful preserve. Found with kids and cousins.
They had a lot of fun playing in the streams building a dam with
rocks |
| GC17MX1 |
Bridges & Arches of Central Park |
| A very cool challenge in Central Park where you
have to find 32 bridges and arches to get clues for the final
coordinates. I had never seen Central Park so thouroughly. It was
fantastic. Buckandi and I stormed it in mostly one morning
run/walk. It was a great experience! And every finder gets a
geocoin... |
| GCKB03 |
Meeting Mao on The Great Wall |
| Being on the Great Wall of China is very memorable
in itself. But this cache lead me to the side that is less visited
and thanks to it, I was able to experience the wall without the
masses on the other side. It was an amazing place. |
| GC14QY6 |
Crossroads of the World |
| A cache hidden *right in the middle* of the busiest
square in the world with a "Found it" sign for a picture. This was
very very cool. |
| GC1830V |
Dolmen de la pierre au loup |
| How cool is it to find a neolithic portal tomb
(3000 BC) forgotten in the middle of the woods? The whole family
enjoyed this one. |
| GCD86E |
Panther Canyon Abode |
| Amazing hike in Big Bend Ranch State Park. The
views were also amazing but it was a very demanding hike that
affected some of the hikers in our group. We had at some point to
make decision to continue or hunker down for the night... I had
never been in this situation before. But we made it in the end.
This was Indigo Parrish final cache for the Texas County Challenge.
Buckandi and DE Cryptoman were also part of the hiking group. |
| GCVXMX |
I KNOW WHERE THAT PLACE IS! |
| Loved the mystery aspect of finding where the
pictures where. Led me to visit some new spots in Austin. |
| GC20RTK |
(Almost) Peak of The Peak |
| Amazing experience in Hong Kong at Victoria Peak. I
climbed it as the sun was setting. It was absolutely beautiful. But
by the time I was on top, it was pitch black. I had no flash light.
I used my cell phone as a light on the way down... |
| GC1CQ78 |
Nine Princes in Amber |
| Amazing Series in some of my favorite greenbelts.
It was especially memorable as it was a race for FTF which I was in
the end. I loved the final. |
| GCJFXT |
F5 - The Dead Man's Walking ... |
| I had always been interested by the Jarrell
tornado. This cache was very well done. When climbing down in the
tornado shelter at the final, I slipped and the heavy door close on
my arm, breaking my watch and bruising my wrist. I felt it for many
months afterwards |
| GCZ1KY |
Roman Nights |
| My favorite night cache. Found it with Buckandi. I
loved the terrain and the length of the hike. Very cool
adventure. |
| GC1BEZH |
Space Cadet Bonus: Range Box |
| As a kid I used to model rockets. So this series
was right up my alley. I was very pleased to be FTF. Very nice
puzzles and great containers. One of my favorite series. |
| GCE62A |
Jogmuir's Quest |
| Cache #200 for me. It took me several trip to get
it. I found the final container with my mother who was visiting
from France. |
| GC11EKM |
45 GALLON CACHE |
| Went after this one by chance. I was staying at a
nearby hotel and it was one of the caches within running distance.
But what an amazing surprise: The biggest container had ever found
right next to a breath taking view of the Torrey Pines area and the
Pacific ocean. Another of those "I love geocaching moments". |
| GCHPDT |
Line Of Sight |
| I have never seen another cache like this one. The
last stage is just amazing. So cool! |
| GC1T0PV |
Sand dunes of Derrynane |
| Another of the off-the-main-path area that I would
never have seen otherwise. Beautiful beach. Kids enjoyed the break
while visiting the ring of Kerry. |
| GC3710 |
The Grassy Knoll |
| The most eerie feeling when you get some place for
the first time but yet you feel you know it so well... I watched
the Zapruder film to many times before I guess... |
| GC12HH0 |
BridgeToTerabithia |
| Very cool spot and very nice twist to have to brave
vertigo to get the container. Found with Buckandi |
| GC1FH0G |
Middle Earth: Dark Lord Sauron |
| My best geocaching day ever was finding this series
in one day with Buckandi. Enjoyed the build-up with the many layers
of puzzles. What a fantastic series.. |
| GC2B034 |
Necropolis of Britannia Manor III |
| Cache #1000 for me. Found with the whole family.
Great treasure hunt throughout Austin and an over the top
final. |
| GC1H08E |
Angels and Demons |
| Very cool quest in Rome. Had to visit the location
of the 4 murders in the novel from Dan Brown's, get clues to find
the final. It was a lot of fun. |
| GCVEZ3 |
Chaudron |
| One of my favorite experience geocaching just with
my wife. The Etretat cliffs are amazingly beautiful and that
evening the weather was stormy giving an eerie feeling. It was a
multicache and I could not get to one of the stages because of the
tide but with a little bit of thinking, we made an educated guess
and found the final. This was one of the most rewarding geocaching
experiences ever. |
