Just thought I'd write a short recap of what has happened in July.
After a slow start the month picked up nicely in the end, in the beginning of July we managed to be Stf a couple of times rather frustrating when you are trying to keep the streak going (one FTF/calender month). Now at the end of the month we can sum up the month to 13 FTF and a couple of stf and then some other interesting caches.
Our first FTF in July was Spåret #2: Dingtuna where we really thought we would have a good chance at FTF and as it turned out we did have a goot chance 
, on our way back after logging the cache we thought we heard someone moving in the woods behind us but we couldn't see anything so we headed back to the car, once at the car Karmansbo drove in to the parking lot, we followed her a bit towards the cache in order to show her a short cut that we had discovered when we were going back towards the car. As we were entering the car Trollteamet came out of the woods and we had a brief chat before heading in different directions, this is when the day started to get interesting! Karmansbo and team rEDdOG decided to have a go at the mystery cache that GP-Esset released at the same time. So off we went to the fake coordinates, considering the terrain rating we decided that some gear might be needed som to any joggers out there we must have looked quite interesting, two persons wearing flip-flops and casual clothing going around the jogging track whilst carrying a telescopic ladder 
. Well it turned out that this mystery cache was clearly not a field pussle so we went home and karmansbo went to work. At home we started to analyze the information and it did not take long to find some clues and a pattern started to emerge. Later the same day we thought we had an idea of how to obtain the last clue we needed so we headed towards Västerås once more. On the way there the phone rang and it was Karmansbo that told us that there was no need to go to another of the recently published caches as there were lots of people there logging it already. She then agreed to accompany us on the quest of the final clue, after finding that clue we were heading towards the coordinates we had produced with the clues now had when our phones chirped announcing another new cache being published in the vincinity, the decision was easy! Of course we had to try! It took a while to locate the cache but it was well worth the effort as we were rewarded with another FTF! Once again we headed towards the cache "Förortsdjungeln", it didn't take long locating it this time around! Thank you GP-Esset for creating an interesting series and an entertaining mystery cache!
The next "adventure" came just a couple of days later as I was in Västerås looking at Power Big Meet when the phone chirped again with the announcement of a newly published cache, this time around it was a night cache in Eskilstuna, so I went home got some flashlights, prepped the GPS and headed out again. Once in Eskilstuna I perked the car at the given parking coordinate and headed towards the start of the trail, this is when our flashlights really "shone their magic" I could see several steps of the reflective trail straight away enabling me to skip some parts of the track whilst staying on the footpath. On the way back I saw a light some distance away, figuring it had to be fellow geocachers I waited for them to arrive and it was Camo-Christine and Blomski that were rummaging around the woods. We had a long chat before heading home to bed.
We decided to take a short geocaching trip in Södermanland just to spend some time with the kids and such and as I thought I should have some pics in this post as well, here we go:
First a couple of pictures taken at the cache Utsikten 2 and Djupanboda Slåtterlada:
A couple of weeks later Jimmy.P had "threatened" to release some caches, to our surprise quite a few of them were in our area so we just "had" to have a go at them . So a big thank you to Jimmy.P for extending his already nice series "Tidövägen"!
A week or so later I was talking to Zacke.se and we just happened to talk about the cache "Hunted" and we quickly decided that we wanted to have a go at it, quickly some loose plans were drawn which also included a go at another cache " MASTER QUEST 2000". These were two excellent caches, sadly I cannot talk to muck about them as it would spoil the fun for you out there that haven't yet logged these caches. 
We have also decied to go to a couple of events this fall, if nothing happens we will be attending "A Day in Tallinn" and the Mega event "Mega Event Catalunya 2011" we might be attending "FAD" as well but that has yet to be decided...
Slightly ironic the decision to go to the mega event in Catalunya helped us out big time this weekend as I decided to see if there were any mysteries in Calella where the event is held. As it happened one of the mysteries there had the same solution as a couple och caches published in Eskilstuna this weekend! This enabled us to have a slight head start with the solutions, sadly though I cannot talk much abouth them either without spoiling the fun for you guys out there!
Also we got to use the boat a couple of times this month this last time I took a boat ride with karmansbo in order to log the cache "Gädda", it seems our effort to log this cache was slightly easier than that of the FTF gang
Over and out for this time!
ps. Sorry for the long post withjust a few pictures but there were no useable pictures of this months adventures that did not reveal to much of the mysteries! .ds
