Location

This Geohash is located in a field near Arbon.

Participants

Plans

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

2024-10-16 47 9 tracklog.jpg The route

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...

...you think! After two great finds and the geohash, I treated myself to a cafe and croissant in the nearby Möhl-Bistro at the cider factory. When I wanted to get back to the motorbike to continue my journey, I noticed that it had started to rain! Man... And the fact that the next cache was a DNF after a long period of collecting numbers for its riddle didn't make it any better and I lost a lot of time... At some point the rain stopped and I was able to celebrate 6 more great finds.

In total I arrived back home after almost exactly 300km and about 11 hours. And yes, the weather improved in the afternoon.

In my luggage in order (with date of hiding): 

   Amriswiler Cache GCAC69 (11/2002)
   Ruine Alt-Ramschwag GCHCPR (12/2003)
   Geohash 47 9
   SCRABBLE in Arbor Felix GCT9T1 (02/2006) DNF
   Kapelle St. Peter und Paul - Enggenhütten/AI GCZ2AP (10/2006)
   Appenzell -Hauptgasse-Webcam GCPM3E (07/2005)
   20 CNTS CACHE OF SWITZERLAND GCGE0Y (06/2003)
   Ob Oberschan GCW7A2 (05/2006)
   Petersbrogg (Toggenburg) GCP2C9 (05/2005)
   Neckertal GCK2XW (07/2004)

It should be clear that these old caches are rarely drive-ins and therefore take some time. Many thanks to all owners for their many years of maintenance work!

I had fun Best regards globescorer
