Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Snail Trails, GEO-ART in the area of Sabile and Abava valley! Why snail? Because Sabile has vineyard that is full of winesnails, also known as escargots. On top of that, winesnail is depicted in the coat of arms of Abava parish. And snail just looks good on the map! 🐌

Take your time, no rush, and enjoy geocaching!

 

What is the name of French wanna-be-scientist who, in 1850s, built a contraption "snail telegraph" to test the pseudo-scientific hypothesis that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they mate and that these "abilities" could be used for a snail telegraph, which then would be more reliable than telegraph?
