After finding over a thousand geocaches, I wanted to check my total with the largest of the geocache listing sites I use, and discovered that you can't get the same answer twice from it even if you ask it three times for an answer. Wot?
This checkin to GCAYFMG Més enllà de la via II (13) - Granja Fortuny reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Retreived the cache from beneath its insect guardian (pictured). TFTC!
This checkin to GCBBYYH Més ellà de la via II - (12) Caçar entre pedres reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coordinates spot on! Exactly where it should be. From the right angle, the cache can quickly be spotted. TFTC!
This checkin to GCAY62F Més enllà de la via II (11) - Quina pila reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Quick find in the second place I looked while walking this trail as a shortcut back to town from the Passejant amb la Boira caches. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, […]
This checkin to GCAY628 Més enllà de la via II (10) - Em sento penjat reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Not attempted. Lots of litter around the GZ, didn’t feel like walking, let alone poking, through it. 😢
This checkin to GCB0EGT Passejant amb la Boira - Un altre túnel? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found in the fourth place I looked. Nice container size, like the last letterbox hybrid. This is where we’ll part ways. As much as I’ve loved this series so far and would […]
This checkin to GCB0EGN Passejant amb la Boira - Senglars? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Had to give up after an extended search. I approached the GZ with two solid (different) ideas about the kind of thing I would be looking for. But a good explore of many candidates […]
This checkin to GCB048F Passejant amb la Boira - Sota el pont de l'AVE reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Didn’t much fancy my chances of GPS signal in the tunnel, but the spoiler photo made it very obvious where to look! Hung around to enjoy the cool for a […]
This checkin to GCB043C Passejant amb la Boira - muntanya de pedres reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A nice large cache! I wish I’d brought a TB or two over from the UK. TFTC. I’m looking forward to the tunnel ahead and the temporary shade that it will offer!
This checkin to GCB03K2 Passejant amb la Boira - Ni fu, ni fa... reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Started out by touching, then followed the hint. Walking backwards and forwards I soon spotted something out of place and seconds later the cache was in my hand. Tranquil spot, but […]
This checkin to GCB03JW Passejant amb la Boira - Roques, pedres, pedretes reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Had to poke a few places before I found the cache. I was almost expecting a larger one! Enjoyed the view of the farms below. Once again, TFTC and greetings from the […]
This checkin to GCATCV0 Passejant amb la Boira - El gos electricista reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A sneaky hide; very nice. I put my fingers into lots of places before I spotted somewhere that I hadn’t yet touched. (Should I touch, I thought? Is it dangerous? 😂) Soon […]
This checkin to GCB04GA Passejant amb la Boira - Avistament de conills reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I could be wrong, but based on the coordinates and the spoiler photo I think I know exactly where this cache should be… and it’s not there. Is it possible that the […]
This checkin to GCB7V16 Bye bye, arreveure! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My family and I are on holiday, staying a couple of villages away. I came out this morning to see if I could find a couple of local caches before the day’s activities. This was the first. […]

This checkin to GC8D4H7 Benvinguts a Vistabella. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I had to work hard to find this one! In the end, my selfie-csmers helped me a lot, but what also helped was that I’ve seen (and hidden) containers of this type before. SL, TFTC, and greetings […]
This checkin to GC5QRR1 RAPOEB 35 fase llarga. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I startled a lizard while retrieving this good-sized cache. My trouser legs are now covered with burrs, from all the sticky plants underfoot. TFTC, and for this leg of the series; now it’s time to explore […]
This checkin to GC5QGH5 RAPOEB 34 fase llarga. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found a few good candidate hiding places here, but no cache. 😔
This checkin to GC5QGGQ RAPOEB 33 fase llarga. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Another quick and easy find on this delightful trail. TFTC. My original plan had been to turn around at this point and head back to La Secuita, but two things have changed my mind: 1. How […]
This checkin to GC5QGGE RAPOEB 32 fase llarga. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A little further along this slightly-overgrown path and another quick find. Logbook has clearly been soaked and then dried out and is very hard to write on. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK!
This checkin to GC5QGG3 RAPOEB 31 fase llarga. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I walked down the path from La Secuita to #30 but was unable to attempt it while a man and his dog were loitering there. So I pressed on to #31, and quickly found it. The […]
This checkin to GC6PF76 Benvinguts a la Secuita. La piscina. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Great cache, excellent container and hiding spot! After feeling around a few other places I soon worked out what I was looking for, and stealthily stretched to retrieve the cache. Two nearby men in […]
This checkin to GC6NY43 Benvinguts a la Secuita. reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. From the coordinates and the hint the hiding place is pretty obvious, but I can confidently say that it’s not there. 😢
Well that was pretty spectacular. 🤩
Of all the architecture with which the devil is (per legend) credited with the construction, L’Aqüeducte Romà de les Ferreres might be the most impressive. Nice work, Satan.
This checkin to GC6603 Taragonna Aquaduct reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Quick and easy find while visiting this amazing monument with my family. A hot and sweaty jog to the GZ and soon the cache was found. TFTC!
I'm spending the week on the East coast of Spain, hoping to see the imminent solar eclipse. And in the meantime, I've been finding local geocaches (including my thousandth!) and exploring the local sights with my family.
This checkin to GC65QKN Benvinguts a Mas vilet dels pins reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I spent a while looking at the obvious host, then checked the hint and moved to a series of alternate candidates. It’s probably there, but not somewhere I could find! Eventually I felt too […]
This checkin to GC8ZYPV AMAGATALL MAS CARGOL - Camps reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I’ve been doing what remains of the Ruta Pels Volants del Mars De Salort series of took a diversion to find this cache. The impressive host didn’t need a hint – she’s pretty easy to […]
