Location
This Geohash is located in a field near Arbon.
Participants
Plans
Visiting this geohash and some geocaches during my today's motorcycle tour.
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
