Acropolis Museum Reloaded

I am traveling from Houston, Texas, USA, with a group from my church on a short-term mission trip. Our local contact encouraged us to wear t-shirts that would catch someone’s attention and possibly generate a conversation. He suggested sports teams and popular brand logos as examples. I brought those but also had a friend make me a custom shirt related to geocaching.

That shirt did its job today! While I was touring the museum, a guard stopped me and asked if the letters represented a fraternity. I told him no, they were the first few letters of my favorite hobby. “Geometry?” “No, geocaching.” We talked about it for a few minutes. He seemed intrigued! See picture.

I stepped out to grab the closest cache before my team regrouped and moved on. Lots of muggles at GZ even though it’s somewhat secluded.

Thank you, George & Christina. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Geocaching-Από το 2000 συνεχώς!/Since 2000 and on!

I am traveling from Houston, Texas, USA, with a group from my church. We are on a short-term mission trip to help build community in Pangrati. I woke up early this morning to get this cache that I put on my list before "hopping the pond."

Because of the distance from where we’re staying to GZ, I had planned to ride the Metro for as much of the journey as I could. My original idea was to come yesterday morning, but all the drivers were on strike! Oh well. Today it is.

Once at GZ, the find was quick and easy. I dropped a bunch of TBs given by friends. I also traded for a little toy alligator.

Thank you, wind&water. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

✈️ Willkommen am Flughafen Frankfurt - FRA ✈️

Heading to Athens from Houston for a mission trip with a group from my church. Our connecting flight departed only 40 minutes after we landed and we had to change terminals. RUN!! I paused only long enough to grab the two selfies.

This is my first find outside the U.S. Woohoo!!

Clifford’s Favorite Utensil

Come see the BRS!

Don't trust the map view (yet). The nearby establishment recently demolished their old building and built a new one, with the BRS, in a slightly different spot.

NRG Park

It’s been a heck of a week. My work team has been in all-day prep sessions all week for an interview tomorrow with Metro to renew our contract. At times, boring. At times, entertaining. But exhausting and stressful all week. This is our livelihoods we’re working on!

We were released early today so we could relax a bit before the big day. When I realized how close I was to NRG Park, I knew I had to get this multi. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, but my schedule never allowed me to get to Stage One during business hours. Not today though!!

I had to ask a security guard for directions to parking for the store because the usual entrance is locked up tight. I think, perhaps, it’s because it’s football season. Maybe? I don’t really know. Anywho, once at GZ, I found the needed letters and solved the puzzle. A short drive later and I was at the real GZ. Quick and easy once here.

I feel much more at ease having enjoyed the bestest hobby in the world, even if only briefly. Now, time for a haircut and a good night’s rest.

Thank you, HoustonControl. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

🎃All Hallows' Eve #10🎃

I’m slowly working on my D/T grid. This cache has a combination I needed.

Given the last log and the amount of time since the last find, I was skeptical of it being here. However, once at GZ, I spotted it right away. But how the heck does one reach it? Even at 6’5” it was beyond my reach. I’m not a skilled (or graceful) climber, so I returned to the myrthmobile to get my reacher-grabber. It was stuck in its folded position 😕, so out came my trusty companion, trackable A2ZB79. A few minutes later, I had what I needed.

Back at GZ, I could touch the cache with the grabber but not get a grip on it 😠. Even at 6’5” with a mechanical hand, it was just out of reach. I tried knocking it down. No luck. It’s wedged in there really well 😤. I grabbed a nearby natural TOTT. On poking the cache, the stick broke 😫. Tried again, and finally! Success!! 😁

Then, I couldn’t open it because of rust 🤦🙇‍♂️. Out came trusty ol’ A2ZB79 again. Another few minutes and, eureka 😁!! A satisfied sigh and a signed log! I had a much easier time getting it back in its hidey spot 😎.

What an adventure for an urban cache! Including the myrthmobile, I used four ‼ TOTTs. That may be a record for me. I’ll add a 💚 as soon as I earn another one. Now, for some AC and a doughnut… 🥵🍩

Thank you, 💵👸🏽. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21
