Back in the USA

I’m back home in Wisconsin after quite an adventure searching for Geocaches in the Netherlands and India. First of all, despite my security and law enforcement training, I had my Garmin V stolen from me near the Van Gogh Museum by a pickpocket.

The thief must have been a pro because I had it in a buttoned pocket on my coat! I got on the Tram and did a pat to verify it was still there…only it wasn’t! Unbelievable how fast it must have happened. I considered buying a rat trap to plant in my pocket for the next hooligan to grab but I decided I came all this way, may as well see the sights.

I thought of buying a new unit until I discovered the Garmin V went for 629 Euros, which is more than double the price of what you’d pay around here! Even the E Trex was like 300 Euro! 1 Euro = about $1.40!
I had to drop of a travel bug and it seemed like a shame to bring it that far only to have to take it home. So I managed to contact Canyon Rose who helped me a lot with information on a cache I couldn’t miss. A red car that had been turned into a giant planter (GC9591). Sure enough I located it and dropped off the bug!

On to India, where I managed to find GC3906, that was no problem since I was going to the Taj Mahal anyway. Finally I found GC5605, also in Agra, India. I manged to track it down based on the descriptions and pictures in the logs…hey I’m getting good at this sport!

I will attempt to upload some pictures of the caches I found in my gallery in case anyone is interested.
