On October 21, I have actually been out Geocaching for the first time. As Tobias had already been out geocaching and I hade been in town, we decided to meet directly at the location of the Cache. I was there first, however, I was in front of the building instead of behind it at first.
At first, I didn't really know how to get behind the building... On the left and right side of the building were other buildings and there was a steep slope behind all of them. As I had been riding to the location with my bike (it was only 200 m from the apartment to the location of the cache, however, this was the linear distaance) because I had to find a way over the Train Tracks, I got my bike and went a bit back on the way I had come. I thought I remembered on open barrier near the train tracks at the beginning of the street. And I was right! However, I passed a rather scary place with huge plastic garbage bags on my way.
I was wondering if those might have been bodies from the plastination institute... Well, I went through the slightly open barrier next to this "dump" and reached a gravel path which actually led directly behind the building. As there was a huge Pile of stones and the fence had been increased, I climbed on the Stone pile because I wanted to see the tubs in the backyard of the institute which I read about. Unfortunately, I was still not able to look over the fence. So, I decided to give up and look for the cache. Tobias arrived a couple of minutes later and gave me the tip to turn over a stone because that was what it said in the geocache's description.
I immediately had a very peculiar stone from the pile in mind, however, I found nothing underneath... As I went back to the beginning to the pile, however, I saw something green under one of the stones.
I lifted the stone and found a tupperware box! :) In it were some little novelties but I had nothing to put in so I didn't take anything from it either. Tobias wrote the date and time when we found the cache into the little notebook that was inside, too, and then we hid the cache again.
As I had been invidited to a wedding that day and had to work a little before going there, too, I had no time to search for other caches (further information on this cache can be found under the number GC2M1DY on http://www.geocaching.com/) anymore but had to go home.
Shortly before he left for Vienna, Tobias told me about the night cache he did in Neckargemünd which has something to do with the movie "Shining" by Stephen King. It sounded very scary to me but I guess that is just because I hate woods (at night AND during the day)...
And here's another picture of my newest guest so you can see, who stayed in my living room. The next story will be posted soon!
