dominoes

A few things have happened in the past month geocaching wise. I have purchase some nano and micro containers so should start putting out some new caches soon. I’ve actually replaced my Seen Any Princes geocache in downtown Dublin this morning so that went back online again.

Unfortunately one of my travelbugs – a double blank domino went missing when the geocache that it was in also went missing. It’s a shame as the bug had put on a fairly decent 2386 miles.

I have resurrected one of my travelbugs – IT that went missing some time back. This time it has appeared as a Travelbug on the back of the car. It will be interesting to see who first spots it and where – whether it’s logged at a cache, an event or in day to day driving.

Still not got the impetus to go out and geocache – work has been very hectic recently so I just want to relax and do nothing at the weekend!

About a week ago, the Andy Capp cartoon was very appropriate for my geocaching adventures (although I don’t swear).

My geocaching profile has the following picture on it.

I’ve been asked about my Extreme Dominoes photo a couple of times so I thought that the publication of this cartoon would be a good way to kick off the story –
We had been doing a series of caches that involved collecting dominoes and dice as we walked around the country park. At the end of about 7 stages, one of the puzzles involved laying all the dominoes together as if you playing dominoes and then adding the numbers at either end of the sequence. As we were trying to get the solution worked out, I grabbed my box of signature item dominoes out and we laid them on the ground to ensure we were doing it correctly. (As it turned out there were two possible answers – we got the *other* one). As we were doing this, in a middle of a public footpath, so more walkers wandered past and gave us a funny look. One of the people in the team shouted out “Extreme Dominoes” to them and they nodded their heads as if that explained everything and carried on.
For those of you who have not heard of Extreme Ironing (which is where the comment was based) then visit the Extreme Ironing Website with more links and videos than you can imagine.
