Forgive Acrostic Poems

Conclusion 2010

Another year is almost over. Which caches are we still in the Memory and what left a lasting impression?

First, there would be times the 7 Castle Tour mentioned. Continue our tour to Belgium is absolutely worth mentioning. But the Cacherei in the snow at the beginning of the year where many a time we were up to the rear in the snow, I have been well remembered. But with the right equipment was nevertheless usually still a can.

Speaking equipment. But this year was the first time, Helmut `s old folding kayak to the cache operation. That was really fun for me! Certainly that was not the last cache boat tour.

new paths we have trodden - beyond 25 km. For the first time there was an event that took place away from the usual steak and chips events. I speak of Indian-Summer-walking event . The large, positive response required to a sequel!

The climbing tours on Calmont and Boppard I also fall even more. These caches are highly recommended.

pictures of our action returns on Youtube


favor us this year, the mining caches, or in the event Eiserfeld. Especially the well-made caches to be remembered, while carelessly thrown Tradies quickly deletes from memory.

We give up hope that 2011 times more beautiful Multien come back "on the market."

In this sense - we wish a happy new year.

How To Hack An I-dress Up Account

shoulder glance (2)

Continued from Part 1 ...

caution has recently announced! What to write in the log, what to avoid gone? What kind of photos I will refrain from doing better? Especially when it lost places you should use a pre-thought. Why? Meanwhile allows large groups of OC and GC decipher the nicknames the cacher and coat them with a wave of lawsuits. This happened, this year, in the Sauerland. Among those affected are sadly Siegerländer cachers.

The T5 Cacherei got too much growth. Unfortunately, there dangerous tendencies could be seen. Since the security was ever on the track. Abseiling without back protection can backfire enormously. A hand ascender thrown to the rise and not from the top to the bottom. For one gets the the die-cast is not good and the other they never know if you do not need the part in between again. Since there was also a cache that After a descending action in a bridge chamber from the rope and then no more ausbindet gets to that event. You can quickly lead to a longer time involuntary stay at high altitude. He was then freed by his climbing mates from his predicament. It is not yet gone well everything. Let's hope it stays that way.

have an upswing this year given the events. In addition to the monthly get-togethers, which were all well attended, there's still the 25 km-Indian Summer-walking event, and the mining event in Sough, which was also fully booked within a few hours.

Unfortunately, we have, with the Dilldapp, also lost a veteran cachers who has gone from us after a long illness. But his well-made caches have been adopted by other and still obtain a result.

Let's see how it goes with our hobby in the coming years. We hope that rather than quantity, to retract a bit more quality in the winning countries caches. Our cache once had a good reputation. We should get back again! Where quality is not "sauschwer" is synonymous.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and successful 2011.

Breast Cancer Awareness Lacrosse Heads

shoulder glance (1)

Another Cacherjahr is nearing the final and it is time to venture once the shoulder view. What has happened in the winning countries Cacherszene so? Where is the development?

very clear, the geocaching has developed us into a mass movement back. Reports on TV and print media have done their part. The devices have become more efficient and cheaper, which has led to proliferation of those. In addition, the recreation is in the nature (eg hiking is booming, too) all the rage. All this has contributed to Geocaching has double-digit growth rates.

When I started in 2003 with the cache - yes I am one of the most senior in the winner Cacher country - there were just a handful of caches and cachers. They met in the forest never actually someone who was with the GPS on the go. Things are different today. Since the publish of a new Tradies ever gets to the big event. The development of a mass movement also brings opponents to the plan. Hunters and forest owners are not at all impressed and have already partially organized, supplied with a GC account and proceed to the cans in their area. In other states in politics for over a night Waldbetretungsverbot discussed. In this direction will certainly get something. The hunters as simply a better lobby.

Another development is the points chase. As quickly as possible to get the points account is the goal. Unfortunately, with negative consequences for the quality cache. Since Tradies be in the 160-m distance thrown into the landscape rather than taking up a multi from it - but there's only one point. Since the local lake with 25 doses is thrown, although there are already 2 laps of the multi exact same route.

I have nothing against Tradies, there are also this year some came out nice - see eg Jailed - but unfortunately a lot of crap. Hopeful Neucacher how uA concrete head, there are also beautiful and they have placed caches. They are so still, the quality caches.

is interesting to observe how the development goes on. the whole matter is regulated by itself, because some cachers, hang ebbing of the wave of euphoria, their device to the nail. I think that the bad because caches are also more conducive.

Part 2 follows ...

Unusual Walking Sticks

Rhine River Mountain Climbing Tour

After we took a few weeks ago the Mosel-climbing in Ediger-Eller under foot, the desire for more matured. Gab `s still in Boppard on the Rhine also a walkway geocache.

No date has been set, but the weather made dependent. At 23:10:10 it should go in the morning at 7:00 clock. Earlier this week saw the weather forecast for the weekend `s not very good. But we were lucky! For Saturday, a short ridge of high pressure influence was announced. Just before the departure was again caught up with a quick flight weather forecast. (This is more accurate than the "normals"). There are a window to about 17:00 clock was promised to then should come the rain.

On arrival at the car park in Boppard, once breakfast has been rescheduled, which had been previously neglected. saturated Good - other than the Oy, which is always hungry - were climbing sets and then applied onto the sidewalk.

He is not quite as long as the Mosel climb, but m. E. beautiful climbs. While we are on the Moselle, the set did not need, we were happy here in some places, to hang us. Sure go `s without it. There are also people who rumkraxeln there even when wet with sneakers, but why should the additional Without security, when you have lying around the Geraffel anyway.

Heading for the multi-various things were counted. As is always the case: People are 4 and 4 different calculation results. A tradition at one point rise was found quickly, so that at the end of the walkway, on the lookout, could start with the calculation of our values counted. Due to the low temperatures has been threw the gas stove and a bottle of mulled wine was from the depths of the backpack their way to daylight. This situation was not conducive to the calculation.


with mixed feelings as to the accuracy of our determined coordinates, we went then up the hill towards the final. Once there, was found after brief search, contrary to our expectations, but actually a can. Unfortunately there matured, the realization that Finndus his pocket, with valuable contents, was allowed to stand at the point of mulled wine.

So back, down the hill and got pocket - fortunately was still there. Then again rise - the trees along the way we knew her first name now - past the final, the four lakes view. Then we went back to the valley. Not to log in without even a by-catch tradition. We have chosen not to descend the Sissi version with the chairlift, but the signs are "Boppard Alpin" followed. Takes longer, but nicer. Below

were then 2 and 1 Mystery tradition made by the Oy had on the device. At 16:45 clock and then put the announced a rain - weather reports is true, then pretty much - and after a dinner on the ride home ended in a nice caching day.

Climbing the cache in Boppard we can recommend. We had fun that day. A special thanks to my fellow Finndus, Oy the Billy Bumbler and The Hesse.

Do Wrestlers Pay For Car Rentals

indian summer event

Helmut was recently in the Palatinate, to run where the Palatinate silver bullet in the form of a hiking event. After he came back very excited from there, quickly matured the idea that something we We could still make time.

I had to stay due to illness a couple of days, the bed, I took the time to even work out some routes.
As a basic requirement I had chosen a route length of about 25 km. This should be a circuit. Some possibilities are then crystallized out of the tour Hilchenbach Lützel after Weidenau . Was it not a circular route, but I had found another invest any:

We met at the station and drove Weidenau with the regional train to Lützel order from there again to walk on foot to Weidenau. Despite the fact that it is sometimes not a "paper-event", but one for the point had to really do something, but found themselves a 31 migrant willing. I was pleasantly surprised! The

, home set with Mapsource on a computer on site planned route out to be ideal. About beautiful forest trails we went through the colorful autumn forest. Again and again, topped by open views into the landscape.

To move the group back together, 4 stops were planned, and these have been proven. Despite these breaks were an average speed of over 5 km / h by loosely held and there was still enough air for entertaining and stimulating Cachergespräche.


conclusion. It was a class-action with glorious weather, which should certainly be repeated. But I still have some lying around tour designs, where surely a fitting can be found for a winter event.

letters that graced the world ............. To Dr. Sarazin Letter 1 September 2010 (invitation)


Dear Dr. Sarazin, 13/09/2010


For and on behalf of our small community voters from the Pi-project, we invite you to our small studio to a reading followed by a discussion of her latest book, "Germany abolishes itself, "on 12/24/2010 at 16.Uhr in Neukölln, invite.
We do them so well, thanks for the LinMot incidence and efforts to such a to write book brings to the silly season in 2010 to fill instead of the same old stories to enrich Nessi.
is wonderful and they conclude the book. While those whom they wish to prescribe only "German order and discipline, sacrifice, community services and come up with folding kayaks in the Job Center in Germany in order to indulge a life in the lap of luxury, with the Hartz4 clay course, they must fight as a potentate, the Critics of the political class to paltry € 1000.00 months or less to get more pension for doing nothing.
Again they were assured our greatest sympathy.
Sorry, we're no corresponding Fee offer, because we as a charitable organization, so far have not received the funds for this event from the Culture Senate. So far, we can offer you the right circle after the event to make the hat, or perhaps appropriate to the German tradition of the "sack" where anyone can beat hard times up? Sorry, I mean you can submit a contribution. By the way, have been particularly their time in the Senate of Berlin, as usual, given the cultural cuts to along of you at this time.
We want to honor well as tireless party worker, the last hour of the SPD to help on the "right way". You have so right when they carried their impressive Figures warn that in the near future to take away any mules Germany, if, indeed if Germany does not finally abolish itself, thus the entire political class, they always forward walking away, leading by example - so to speak!.
early to the party's body has become re-awakened by such items as finance minister in the Berlin Senate and board member of Deutsche Bank, .. which their lives are shaped.
A truly impressive comeback after almost a year has media abstinence, you and all
migrants in Germany opened their eyes, even on freedom of opinion!.
But we do not want, which is certainly a highlight event becoming on Friday, 12/24 .2010 in the Hertastr.6, 12051 Berlin anticipate by 16 clock

It would be very honorable of you, Mr. Sarazin, when about 100 copies of her, according Donany (former mayor of Hamburg,), very important work, donate would, as our small group of voters of the pilot project is funded only from their own resources which is not very significant. Nor would some candles always an advantage, because we at the beginning of the current from Vattenfall had to cancel, we can not and will not pay more nuclear power.
If it's all right to finish off the evening with a small "book burning" in her honor. This impressive performance in front of the device I think will attract so many influential people who has heard so far nothing of them to open up maybe you also for that evening a new field, except the "writing". So unless otherwise until 12/24/2010 in the boycott Shop, Hertastr.6 in Neukölln with it if it is stated: "Tilo-Sarazin, Germany abolishes itself - but I love you all"

White Goo From Piercing

Calmont Walk

order to run a climbing time, it is not absolutely necessary to ride in the Alps. From the Mosel - between Ediger-Eller and Bremner - the Calmont is to find climbing, of course, also has a cache.

Helmut and I had taken this trip for quite some time in the eye and then queuing a vacation time, a concrete date has been made. Unfortunately it was raining on that day once again on.

conceivable bad Conditions for Kraxelei the steepest vineyard in Europe. But after a view of the weather radar I could give all-clear. Once again it was only in the winning country and north of it, bad. From the Westerwald, the weather improved rapidly, as we on the Mosel, with 25 ° C and a sun-Wolkenmix had ideal conditions for climbing inspection.



a precaution we had taken our time climbing sets, which we are not needed, however. In wet ground but it looks completely different and I would advise against these conditions, from an inspection.

It was therefore to visit on the trail back and forth across the vineyards to the individual Able Day. the way you can take another 2 and 1 Tradies Earth cache as by-catch.

A certain level of fitness is required for the round, as several are to meet up and downs. Remember well, and in the legs, we have left the ascent to the summit. The first begins at relatively innocuous, but Then "strack up walls."

After about 4 hours (with breaks, catch and photo stops) we had found the can and a very nice day to end.

Helmut and I were thrilled with the tour and can only say:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - DO! do

How Soon Does Mirtazapine Work?

benefit from caching

After came out the other day a new cache of the series' winner countries mining " had stood for Helmut and I quickly found that we should walk sometimes on Bergmann paths . Since the track length is given as 17 km, was expected at the weekend not to sure with Cacherrudeln. As we fall, like the sun Winkler, a few cachers who take a 17 km-round attack. The whole Statistikcacher drop off already times, since the yield is 1 cache in 5 hours for this clientele certainly unsatisfactory.

But everyone how he thinks. However, miss this What people.

We had scheduled the cache at any rate for Sunday. Unfortunately, the promised Saturday evening weather forecast no good - constant rain of up to 40 l / m were announced. Our decision was postponed to Sunday morning. The matutinal views by 7 clock on the weather radar showed that the first Front of the winning country and we just missed to 2 have rainfall area about 4 hours. Quick colleagues Schroeder rung out of bed - breakfast is canceled - the road is made up. The backpack is packed and my 20 year old Trangia Stoves must.

To 9:00 clock we went on line. Does it still 14 and the Final Stages visit. The route initially leads steadily uphill Wilnsdorf up high on the cold oak tree. In the middle of the wood lying, Stage 2 was achieved in Helmut acute caffeine deficiency had consequently Trangia used. After coffee and rolls we continued - we went to the next relics of former mining. Once again I came on corners, where I have never been before - even though I live only 4 miles away. The QTA `s and the tasks needed to be overcome all problems. The cache has a clear focus on its Walk through the landscape and the point of mining locations and this is also appropriate.

had meantime we had scaled the height and the neighboring village achieved. The tower could be heard 12 bells, when we arrived at the goldsmith Born. The ideal place for lunch. idyllically situated in the forest, with running spring water. Super - because the mobile kitchen could be rebuilt. Something I associate with pleasure caching: Beautiful walks round with warm food meal break in the middle of nature - what more could you want.

After washing up we went to the final stage. Sorry, there was now a rain - fortunately only a slight drizzle. Rain we had this stuff, so we stayed dry. Since one of the Round the GPS really only need for the Final, we had attached the device to the backpack. The but retaliated. Somehow we were at one point taken a wrong or followed the wrong hiking signs. In any case, suddenly appeared a sign "cold oak", which made us suspicious. Since we wanted to not go - because we were never been! This inattention has again brought us an additional 1.2 km.

had after the last pit, we could then start all values together and Riker typical calculation. But it worked perfectly and we were able to, very well camouflaged, see Final quite quickly.

Then, when we sat back in the car, began the predicted steady rain. Done everything right - is the timing and a beautiful Caching day went, tired but happy to finish.

Topo V2, Topo2010 + CityNavigator operate together

So far, I had the V2 Topo and City Navigator (CN) on the Oregon. The CN I got my route with the mobile cache in the vicinity of the cache. The TopoV2 was displayed simultaneously with a level.

With the new Topo2010 I wanted to do the same, since the procedure was successful. So with the Mapsource gmapsupp.img generated from the tiles of Topo2010 and CN. During the subsequent test then the disappointment: The Topo is not visible at the CN. There are also problems with the routing functions of the CN and Topo. They come in some way into the enclosure. After some trial and error

I have now found for me, the ideal solution I will present here again.

The first time an 8GB memory card was purchased as the existing 4GB card does not have enough space. With Mapsource, I then made a gmapsupp.img tiles of Topo V2 and CN created. Then remove the generated file from the memory card and stored on the PC.

produce the second step, now with a Mapsource gmapsupp.img from the tiles of the Topo2010. The completed file must then be renamed - for example in Topo2010.img

When step 3 is the one on the PC zwischengespeichterte, file gmapsupp.img back to the memory card in the folder "Garmin" folder. Avoid

order conflicts with the routing, I use the profiles in Oregon. For this, the last step in profile "Geocaching" only the Topo2010 enabled. CN and TopoV2 remain disabled. In profile, "Automotive" goes the other way. CN V2 and activate and deactivate Topo2010. That's it

for routing in the car on roads I now use the profile "Automotive", for the pedestrian routing is then switched into the profile "Geocaching" and the Topo2010 used.

Works well - try `s times.

Ap Bio Lab 8 Hardy Weinberg Problems 6

Update: Cable-shot bolt

Development goes on!

Last year I published here in the blog a instructions for cable bolt shot . Since that time we did some tree climbing caches, where the crossbow with bolts was used. All in all, this is a good thing. After we have adjusted the visor correctly with some sample shots, mostly rich 1 or 2 attempts, until the rope is in place. The cable installation time has been shortened by it very much. Have proved the different materials (weights) of the bolts by which we can control the income level.

But there have also shown weaknesses in the bolt construction, which we now have improved. The most important change is the transfer of the key ring from the end of the bolt to the front - just behind the golf ball.

The rear fixing it ever came to Seilabreissern because the ring has been accelerated with the rope under the bridge and it was targeted at the edges to damage to the pilot line. By moving the attachment to the front of this issue is resolved. The 2nd Advantage of this change is that now we can use a larger, more stable key ring that can withstand longer train when the bolt has sometimes gets caught in the branches.

has also changed the cam at the rear end of the bolt. There we had to damage the shot string to the metal, installed a IKEA pencil. This also works in principle, but the graphite inside a little soft. As a replacement we have used wooden dowels. These are available in different diameters and sizes at the hardware store in the small parts wall and they are normally used for furniture assembly.

All changes will be tested again in hard outdoor use . Should additional enhancements, there's an update here.

What Dvd Players Have Longest Battery Life?

(cache) used in Eben Emael

Helmut (Schroeder's team) and I are always to the fascination of historic locations. And so matured for some time the idea of our times to see the barrier Fort Eben Emael in Belgium, which was taken in May 1940 with an, until then unknown, airborne operation within hours. The traces of the past can be seen still good.

fit the conditions at Corpus Christi: Great weather forecast and all 3 teams had the time! So Geraffel tent and packed and then 200 km from the west. Helmut had picked out some nice caches and the highlight the "Cave cache pot" , we wanted to address but only after a night at a nearby campground. The path for this cache was about 15 km and 5 hrs declared.



On arrival, we have looked for some Mysteries and Tradies us and extensively considered the fort. Then, the campground based on the Dutch side. The next morning, after field kitchen tent and were away again, we went go, not at all what was so easily without topographic map. Although we had the OSM of it, but that is in this area remains limited. A highlight of the tour are in any case the numerous marl caves that housed the one or other intermediate days. This showed that the entrainment of the spoiler pictures is absolutely necessary - we have there already looking a little longer need.
> Just in time for lunch we arrived at the restaurant in Fort Mill at the entrance (open from 12:00 clock), where we were able to compensate for the heat-related dehydration with Belgian beer. Next we went along the canal, where we are in need of a Stage Fakekoords. (There are always striking figures, the hand-written are wrong!) Fortunately, these were on the track and were only too short. A call to the German-speaking owner brought us back into the game. Now just started the interesting part of the T4-round. In about 60 m height is always right on the edge of breakdown of the canal. The difficult points, and the descent are provided with thick ropes, which can be used as a climbing aid. But it is only a help, not back! After

had a total of 16 intermediate stations, we could then determine all values and calculate the final, we were then able to find a place also very impressive.

A few more details about the cache: The listing is written in Dutch. We display Google's translation. This is not perfect, but you can see what is meant. The owner speaks good German and has been found to be in demand like Joker phone available. We ran with OSM card. This is currently something patchy, but better than nothing. But I will still inputting some track record there. The track is just over 15 km long. It was with us but by-catch caches and a detour in effect, 17.4 km. The only somewhat tricky, the site is down at the clay cliffs where it goes down a steep 20 meters. There are thick ropes attached from which one can hold on to. It is not guaranteed.

Conclusion: Together with Klaus and Helmut was there again a very nice cache tour outside the domestic realm. The tour we can recommend - so make sure! here you get the tour video - Anyone have something to "appetizing" needs.

Where To Buy Oxygenating Toothpastes

7x high and back down

The 7-castle tour

Sometime last fall brought Helmut (team schroeder) the 7 Castle Tour to talk and we decided that we as yet have to go there. Thus was researched, emailed cachers who have been there, read their blogs, etc., until we had a vague mental picture of what awaits us there. Various pieces of equipment had to be procured, such as paper maps of the area, a backpack, mats, etc. (The globin-catalog during this period was at hand), other equipment (stove, sleeping bag) were present but dormant for years and therefore had to be searched and reactivated. was

When everything together, then, was not the end-ending winter. Date and alternative date on which all three teams had the time, was found. But winter persisted. Meanwhile, we had the time then used for training - we worked through knee-deep snow fed hiking multinationals and improve our fitness. In hindsight, this was very useful.

Then finally came earlier this week of the spring. The temperatures climbed into the double digits and the aptly chosen for our appointment. Sorry, came from tile man and the likes of the dampers. Just on the weekend to come, the big rain. 70% Chance of rain have been forecast. Our decision was postponed until Thursday, Webcams observed in the Palatinate and rain gear down to the field pack. On Friday morning, then came the GO - despite the weather forecast, we want to risk it. The backpacks - had since each 16 kg - packed into the cache and mobile to base camp. One that actually still closed, inn, by Helmut `s Impressive work, exclusively opened for us. The next morning, after a generous breakfast, we went on the trail - without advance another, to look on the way past Mystery. That was not the only one hefty rise for today.

Thanks to our preparation, we had the car, tactically advantageous parked in a place where we should come in the later route again. The first part of tour we were able to tackle with light daypacks. However, we had from there a few miles to the starting point. So thumb in the wind. A driver took pity on us and we went to Anna source. From then on we went almost entirely uphill. Although the mountains are not higher than in the winning country, but the slopes differ enormously. The pitch angle is just too "crunchy" and cut the valleys deeper.

The attached shock figures were not always easy to find, especially if you have left the spoiler photos at home. But we went anyway, because the Coords are fairly accurate after all. At Stage 4 (Fleckenstein) gabs then directly on the track a bistro, which is also already open and had even wheat beer on tap. The next stage was then Froensburg, our night. But before the cache, the mobile backpacks exchanged and thus will be addressed with full load vermeindlich the last climb of the day.

arrived at the castle, we first visited the existing premises and then decided for the penthouse. After a hearty dinner
- there was Elchtopf - we have not had enough and still have a nearby night cache done who also had another offer (this time really the last) pitch. Back at the castle, the necessary gravity bed had been established.

around 22:30 clock noise suddenly was outside and heard heavy breathing does a 130kg-Frenchman and his two friends are still up to our rooms. surprise guests - suitable for Helmut's birthday. And as befits the birthday guests who had also brought a gift - whiskey and cola - which made it the round. It was still a long, merry evening. Someday, against 2 clock, said goodbye to three in order circle still at a nearby lodge a bag to let so that we at least got a few more hours of sleep.


The next morning, Klaus (Team cheeky monkey) and I were then engaged early with breakfast - only Helmut took a little longer to march willingness to produce. Was possibly on the last night ;-). For a change, we went uphill again, so that the residual alcohol was evaporated quickly. Sorry, had with me a blister formed under the big toe, which meant for the rest of the way an increased difficulty level. Fortunately, I had (highly recommended), Compeed blister plasters it, read what the rest of the way at least to some extent tolerable.

at Castle Wasigenstein then finally turned the predicted rain for 1 week, so we were watching to come quickly to the final. Fortunately, the roads in the 2nd Part of the track wider and not quite as steep. The large Finalbox was then discovered quickly, and our log database. Was now "only" the route to our mobile cache in front of us. The 3 km due to Schönau we are still running -

in the resort again, the "thumb in the wind method" used. Again we were lucky. A nice Schönauer Klaus times just went to France to his car.

Conclusion: A beautiful weekend! A toll-made cache in an interesting landscape. A and O has shown that an good preparation. As we see the crux of water supply. We always have 5-6 liters of water consumed, which are then dragged and must. And at moderate temperatures. In summer, the water consumption is rising again safely. Anna the source was dry and could not be used. Maiden from the source, just across the Wegelnburg, none came even a trickle. So full of lugging PET bottles.


Thanks go to my two colleagues Klaus and Helmut.
wiedermal It was a great weekend with you. Any time to return.

What Will My Cm Look Like Right Before Period?

When talking blocks to you

know the older ones among us have the TV noise, which after the end of transmissions of the boob tube appeared. Today transported the "snow" information - as a 2D code encoded vertical and horizontal - more 1000 characters. The well-known from the supermarket bar code (1D) provides usually only a product number.

Applications abound for this code. Besides links, downloads, and geo-information, there is also the Semapedia project that has set itself the target, link to Wikipedia information with real objects. Since then should be placed eg on a monument of the QR code, which contains the link to the Wikipedia page.

To access these codes, you need a camera phone + appropriate Reader software. Since there are now a lot of freeware, adapted for the particular phone models. I use the Quick Mark software or Beetag reader . are also found in Geocachingbereich already use some caches these codes, such as the Quick Response or Telefolution .

The development of codes is not the way complete. At the University of Weimar, the researchers involved with developing 4-D codes, which are expected to be the dimensions of color and time. Thus, the capacity is again increased fairly.

completed by the scientists, it takes a certain something. Tried but in the meantime time 2D codes.

How To Unremove Some 1 On Facebook

Weekend Topic: The cross with the sum


There it was again! The problem with the infinite sum.

worked a while everything good. But this week ES a Mystery has struck again. There was a new cache in a mill. The task was quickly Googled and then to use the sum of the letters are used for coordinate calculation. So no problem. For safety, we did even a check on Google Earth and behold, the position was the middle of a large mountain meadow. A stream which is needed for operating a water mill was necessarily so, there `s not far and wide. After Mail Contact with the owner, it turned out that this had indeed checksum written in the listing, but said the addition of the letter values.

That was not an isolated case. Throughout our Cacherzeit we had such cases on several occasions. It is not all that difficult:

1) normal checksum: The sum is the sum of all digits a number (eg 12, 15, 8 = 1 +2 +1 +5 + 8 = QS 17)


is also a common error when writing in the Listing sum, but the iterated sum mean.

2) iterated sum: from the simple sum is as long formed the digits until only a single digit number remains (eg 12, 15, 8 = 1 +2 +1 +5 +8 = 17 = 1 +7 = QS iterated 8)


Also, there was still the alternating sum that one encounters, however, caching rare.

3) alternating sum: Here are subtracted each number in turn and added. (Eg 12, 15, 8 = 1-2 +1-5 +8 = alternating QS 3)


contrast, would be by the simple addition of the letter values the result of 35 (12 +15 +8), which in the coordinate calculation results in you comes out in a completely different area.

detail, there is the Enlightenment sum again read on Wikipedia.

I hope that through this review, there will be less problems in the cache listing.

Is There A Tickle Job

Winter frustration management

Outside is winter, real winter again at last. Here in the country and winner of the Hessian of mountains (altitude 300-650 m above sea level) are up to 60 cm of snow. For 5 weeks we have a closed snow cover. come Since many a Cacher already on withdrawal symptoms.

What can be done about the rise of frustration? Independently of the city of caches that we determined after 5 weeks ago by all the offers, despite the snow, the walk in the nature.

vote, but the preparation needs. Mental should be set to a higher percentage of NTF's, which is but for no more than Statistikcacher a problem.

preparation:
Here, a look at the GSAK (when there is the Premium Member). There, we invite each of us up the current queries and have a quick overview of the caches in recent days have been found. Then there are the caches, which are also feasible in the snow are. Those with no premium membership, have to look at GC.com to the search warrant. But other, in recent days not made caches, you can address. However, in that the NTF-risk is higher. Note: From experience of the last weeks, we can say that you are in the attributes can not necessarily rely on the "available in Winter" icon. These are more for the winter in recent years been awarded. The best way, you send the Owner is a short inquiry. Should know that all stages are found.

Additional equipment:
waterproof hiking boots are to be mentioned first. However, we have snow at these altitudes the problem is that the snow comes in above, is melted by body heat and it has very fast feet wet. Here it is worth the purchase of boots , which also usually still priced to fit into the budget. Also has proved to be a thermal pants, or some other waterproof model. Jeans and BW camouflage suck quickly filled with water and leave such a clammy feeling in the crotch. has proven to be very useful, a folding spade . Since most of the boxes are hidden at ground level is currently Grabe activities announced. Even if, as happened with us before, suddenly in the snow to the hip infected, the spade can be quite helpful. Schroeder's team reported in the cache Blog academy of our recent snow events. Check it out.
snowshoes would be ideal to prevent the sinking and save a lot of power. But the purchase is often confounded by the costs.

Basics:
Does not leave alone! Since one does not know what is under the snow (sawed-off trees, rocks, etc), you may soon be time for boarding.
Some basic fitness should also be present. Walking through knee-deep snow is tremendously demanding and needs more time. (Keywords: Scheduling)
Run in deep snow in the tracks of the front man. This saves energy and increases security.

regard to the marks on the cache we have up until now held so that we have closed our grave holes again and still easy to disguise footprints to other agencies have placed in the area. Most of the tracks the next day were already over snowing again.

any event makes us caching, with the right preparation, even in winter fun. It can be loose in nature and are meaningless City Tradies left. Try `s try - it's worth it.

PS: When snow depths of 50 cm and more, we learn again to appreciate the nest box as a cache hiding place and you also ensure no problems with tick bites and mosquito bites.
