Participants

Plans

Visiting this geohash and some geocaches during my today's motorcycle tour.

Expedition

For this report I will simply attach my log entry of the geocaches:

Today I took time off for an extended motorcycle tour... The weather forecast actually looked good 1-2 days earlier...

Since today's Geohash was near Arbon, I decided on Eastern Switzerland. (yes, you read that right: GEOHASH - not geocache! More on that at the end of the log) Easy tour with nice, cozy little hill passes.

But I like to combine my hobbies: motorcycling, geocaching, geohashing. So I thought about which caches I would also like to visit and scanned the Eastern Switzerland region for old caches (still missing from my matrix) and picked one out for each month/year. Then I tried to plan a suitable route using the passes. According to my notes there would be a 10 hour tour... doable...

Let's see 😅

At 7:30 a.m. I was ready to leave! Overcast sky... After a 15 minute drive from Canton Zurich to Thurgau it was clear: Fog was coming in and it was also clear that it would get thicker... Thurgau just... I was hoping for improvement...
