Sound of Music Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Vagabund: I am sorry, but the cache had been stolen. I will not replace the cache.

Tut mir leid für den Travelbug. Anscheinend wurde irgendjemand beim Heben des Caches gesehen. Viele haben den Cache untertags gesucht und auch gehoben. Wer genau geschaut hat, konnte erkennen dass nebenan eine Schule steht.
Nachdem ich beim Versteck eine etwa 1m lange Holzlatte gefunden habe, denke ich mal dass ein Schüler einen Cachesucher beobachtet hat und den Cache dann entwendet hat. Es kann aber auch anders gewesen sein. Einen Zufallsfund schliesse ich zur Gänze aus.

Diejenigen die den Cache gefunden haben wissen, dass es ein ziemlich frequentierter Platz war, jedoch das Versteck uneinsehbar war, ja für manche Geocacher fast unerreichbar [;)]. Daher ja auch meine Bemerkung in der Cachebeschreibung, sich die Tageszeit genau auszusuchen. Aber egal, es war einen Versuch wert einen Regular Cache mitten in der Stadt zu verstecken.

Greetings, Vagabund
