Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Snail Trails, GEO-ART in the area of Sabile and Abava valley! Why snail? Because Sabile has vineyard that is full of winesnails, also known as escargots. On top of that, winesnail is depicted in the coat of arms of Abava parish. And snail just looks good on the map! 🐌

Take your time, no rush, and enjoy geocaching!

 

I like mysteries. Simple and complicated. Especially the ones where you need to explore old maps, find some interesting facts etc. I am not a fan of "guess what I saw yesterday", but sometimes also that may be fun. Some mysteries take 1 minute to make a projection. But the best mysteries take several nights of investigation and then hundreds of kilometres of on-site mission!

This is to challenge you to find at least 555 mysteries with 55 unique difficulty/terrain combinations.

The cache IS at the posted coordinates - no mystery here. To log your find, use the checker to prove that you qualify for the challenge. You are welcome to sign the logbook earlier, post a 'write note' log now and register as 'found it' any time later when challenge is completed.

P.S. You will find bonus numbers on a few logbooks on the Snail trails - save them for bonus caches!
