Now this is one of those geocaches that I heard of but never saw one personally till the day we were in Belgium on the Road back to the Netherlands. It all started with let's stop at a Geocache to avoid highway and then came look there is another one just a few meters down the road, and this was the one. Guess what we kept on going on with that serie as there were many cool hides out there.

| The film is ready to be caught ... |
When we turned on that dirt road and I spotted the geocache from the car I got so excited that I did not really pull down thinking who else would come this way. We jumped out and went for the geocache with a huge smile on our face, finally we meet one of these.

| The geocache is not too much hidden |
A pipe with many holes attached to a tree. How complicated could that be? Well at first we thought we'll need to find some tools in our geocaching bag, but then we saw the two metal stick hanging there and we knew the tools are also provided.

| Pushing the container up step by step |
It seems easy enough and it is but it needs time. Almost half way when it fell back due to a bad move, no worries we have some time to get it right. And then guess what happened? A car came by and he had something to do down that road. Ok, let me try to put my car away, of course with all the excitement around a cool geocache it wasn't so easy, and the guy started to pass my car, his windows were down, and the tree gave him a slap with a bench hanging down, but he just smiled. We were almost sure he knew what we were up to there.
Pushing, pushing one step at a time and already decided to make one of these for the geocacher in my hiding area. Of course I'll add some twist to it or maybe I'll just do some camouflage on the pipe to hide it more... I'll see.

| Halfway up? You do not know till it is out |
It is so funny, you see it falling back while someone else does it and then you try and you let it fall as well. Then you go again till finally it gets to the top. I'm sure this hide can be solved alone as well, but then no pictures.

| There it is, catch, log, drop |
What a small happiness when it finally comes to the sun. After a quick log back to the car and look up the next one in this serie and go. So the guy passed us was the one helping at the next geocache which we could not find. Luck for us we both spoke Dutch so we have a language he could help us.
There was no doubt this had to get a favo. Many thanks for the CO for this hide.
