Wurzelsepp strikes back (Katschberg)

A couple of years ago I was very eager to find an other cache at this same spot with the name Wurzelsepp (GC2YTTT), because I had set myself a stupid goal to find a cache every day during 500 days. Don't ask me why. A week sking in Katschberg made it very difficult for me to achieve this goal since there weren't many caches around yet. Especially not in Katschberg. Therefor this cache had to be found during his week. But that was easier said then done... Geowebbie and I searched for hours on different days but no cache. Not in, on, or under the Wurzelsepp. The fact there was more than a meter snow didn't really help.

By this time Felsgeggi must have thougt it was better for me to archive the cache to prevent me from becoming insane the next year. And I'm glad she did. The search for the holy Sepp was finally over. It also prevent me from going insane and - last but not least - it saved my marriage. Searching for the same geocache in deep snow days after days instead of sking with my family did cost me a lot of points ;-) .

But now that it was gone it left a void (more precisely a void in my founds list). And this turned out to be even worse. The only good solution for this problem was a new cache by myself. A cache that was even harder to find ;-) . That was the moment a new cunning plan arose: Würzelsepp strikes back! (geowebbie and are real Star Wars fans). I wish everyone the same fun I had with searching for Würzelsep I.

The cache

What shall I say. I searched four days for Wurzelsepp I whitout finding it ... Take care not to harm pour Würzelsepp. You do not have to move parts of him to find the cache. Just think en look ...

Though it can be quiet here, there are also moments there are muggles around. So use stealth when needed…

Happy caching and may the force be with you !
