An emperor in west side
Thanks to hkw0704, it's DNF actually.

What an experience of close contact with nature! We really enjoyed the skin-touch feeling with the rock on the mountain of the West. Even we have spent almost 90 minutes on searching the cache. Since few climbers came to this mountain, we had a very peaceful and nice contact experience.

However, all good time has an end. We need some time to feel the rock of the East, too. Bye then, the West.

TFTC, today is really a good sun-shining day for hunting on mountain.

Happy 80-minutes Contact with the Rock


On the Top of the West



An emperor in east side
Thanks to hkw0704, it's DNF actually.

Exciting Cliff Way! Wow, the Empire is just as his name is. The cliff way from the West to the East is so exciting, my children asked me to walk it twice!

At the time we got the East, the time is still early. However, there are quite a lots of visitors came to this mountain. Someone even scream when I came out from clump beside cliff. "Take it easy, sir. I will not fall." At last, muggles conquered the East, we could no longer searching the rock. Bye then, we have to retreat.

TFTC, my children asked me to come back, next time.
"OK," I said, "maybe after uncle hkw0704 confirmed the cache is still safe."

It is so crowd in this old station.

Wonderful, we were already hungry after climbing the Emperor. We enjoyed the food quite much. The cache is so fit with the environment. The bridge painter just painted on it. He could never image there is a cache he already found. Ha Ha.

TFTC!

The Cache with The Log

The rock of celestial's footstep
Nice Hide

Again, our family showed useful of human resource in searching cache. The father dispatched responsibility area well. The whole family searched the cache in 3D. And after 30 minutes, it is found.

We were very lucky. Today, we had very good weather condition. And timing was very correct. Even it was Saturday, but we were here at mid-noon, so very few people around. We could find and hide without muggles interruption.
We moved the crystal rock to next cache. Thanks for hkw0704.

We Also Found The Footstep



LaoQuan Gate
Yes, we found it almost in a minute.

Even we have bicycle passing here few times, but we have never been here with motorbike. The road leading here made me feeling like driving in a super motorbike way.
I used iPhone to video possible hiding location. Bur just before I were going to do so. It is found.

Nice cache, I highly suspect hkw0704 is Virgo. All his caches are so clean & clear.

What does inactive mean?

We came there and found that the cache is in "inactive" mode. What does it mean? The GPS location also lead me to a dangerous location. So after we enjoy the view on the mountain top. We didn't search at all and gave up.

Thanks, we really like the view!


Dragon Boat Kayaking
The night view is so wonderful.

We came here, it was going to be dark. The Bitan two bridges are both shining in colorful lights. Very very beautiful! Since it was dark, my son searched with flashlight. This is his favor part of the game. He enjoy it very much.

After my son hand me the cache, at the time I took it from a bag, a large spider jumped out unexpectedly. OMG, I almost have my heart jumping off my mouth.
TFTC!

Beautiful Bitan Two Bridges

跑了好幾趟的 cache，最後還是找不到。 :'(

Liuzhangli Landscape Roadway
Could the cache lose?

We noticed the most possible position having five bullet holes on it. Those bullet holes show the might power of the gun. These bullets went through two iron boards without difficulty. OMG. We suspect the magnetic of the cache could not stand such shock, so it fall on the ground and lost.

Well, it's a hypothesis.

Another typical Taipei weather

It's another rainy and windy day. After awake from a noon nap at pm 4:00, I decided to hunt this cache during it's not very far away from my house. When we approached the location, I became to realize it's FuYang Nature Park which we have visited for times. I never know there is a cache in it.

And when we got to the spot, I know it's a graveyard. Even, it's in day time, but the sky is dark, not much light. I was felling spooky at the moment. So when I finally found the cache, I could not help to close my hands, bow and speak "E Mi Tuo Fo"!
In: Ye Olde Bulldog Clip, Out: nothing.

The cache is so tough.

The cache is so tough. But it should be caused by GPS coordination not correct. With the coordination, my GPSr leaded me to dangerous high ground, where I could not find any rock to move over. I moved to another side of the ground and try to climb up a small hill. But the weed stopped me from doing this. My wife and I tried to search all over the ground, unfortunately after 30 minutes we got nothing. So I decided to seek for help from edgehung. And yes, the hint is very useful, we found it at once.

The condition of the cache is very good, so I decided to leave motorgrrl here. I also made a new GPS coordination (N24 21.409, E120 39.172) to this cache. I believe the cache will become easier to be found. Bye-Bye, motogrrl!

Bye, Motogrrl!


Water Bridge
The place is so beautiful.

At the beginning, the GPSr leaded me to a higher place than the cache. I could not find a way to climb down. Then I study the description carefully. I became recognized that this cache is a multi-cache. And we must go to the TaiAn Station first.

The TaiAn station is really a beautiful place. My wife and I enjoy a good walk on the railway. But we didn't forget to our purpose here. I pointed my GPSr to the first stage. We surprised found there a water way. And in the way, we met a old farmer who looked at us, with such smile that he know what we are heading for. I'm quite sure, so I say a hello to him. The view here is even better than on the platform. When we arrived the first stage, we finally realized why it is called water bridge.

We enjoy the peaceful moment in this spot. And we got the coordination of the cache. And we approached to the location, we released why the farmer is smiling to us. The location of the cache is where we met him. [:)]

After the log the cache, we enjoy a brown sugar ice cream. TFTC!

1/11~14 上班路上尋寶

Over the rainbow
2nd try and found it.

The previous one, we had whole family(four people) searching both on the bridge and under the bridge. None is found. This time, I went here along by myself but prepared. Hr Hr. Since Haima logged that a pair of chopsticks are used. so I got a clamp and a flashlight with me.
The weather is very good, although it is also very cold. This is far more better than my previous two GC hunting (it was so cold and rainy). A group of younger students are driving bicycles, gathering and having lots laughter. I felt myself very strange beside them, that I'm wearing a raincoat and searching on the ground.
Not much time, the cache is located. But as Haima said, I couldn't got it out. The cache is very firm, I felt like clamp on rock. However, after I tried another way. It became very easy to be got the cache off.

Another cache found on my way to work.

My wife asked, "Why are all these cached on the way to your work place?",
"All roads lead to Rome.", said I.
I tried to put Space Shuttle Geocoin into it. However, there are coins on the way. So I took all coins for the Geocoin could be left in the cache.
TFTC!
