It would be nice if the coin could make it to Bavaria and back to the NC, but
I'll be happy if it just keeps moving quickly from cache to cache.

About This Item

edelweiss.jpg

I've activated and released quite a few geocoins, but this one holds a bit more meaning for me than most. In high school, I traveled a little in Bavaria as part of a student exchange program. I had the good fortune to return on business a few years ago and the pleasure of having a weekend free to be a tourist. On the second trip, I mostly explored München, but also got out into the countryside a little. I saw a bit more of the countryside while taking the train from München to Zurich. And, my car was built in Regensburg.

Some of my fond memories include bretzeln and bier at the Hofbrauhaus while listening to a lot of half-lit Germans sing John Denver's country roads; climbing the endless staircases of the Peterskirche for a wonderful view; exploring the market; eating weißürste with Handlemaier's Hausmachersenf (which I was finally able to find in the US about the time that I used up my stash from Germany); Schloss Nymphenburg; and revisiting Rothenburg o.T. (I covered a lot of ground in a couple of days.)

Please log this geocoin when you find it and don't forget to mark it as dropped when it goes back into a cache. This geocoin has an extra feature. When you log it as found in the travelbug section of geocaching.com, a special icon will appear in the user stats section of your profile.

Discovered on the way to Shafter.
I was supposed to go on exchange to Germany in High School in '91, but was banned by the German teacher after a harmless sausage incident. Probably for the best, would have ended up in the local gefängnis. One day I'll make it to der Municher Haufbrauhaus.
