8/29 上海走路尋寶 Day 2，我的家 Geocaching 滿週年了

一定是昨天很頻繁的進出地鐵所造成。昨天，室外天氣很熱，大概有 35°C 之譜。地鐵站內有冷氣，很涼。地鐵上更是涼爽。然後進進出出，就像三溫暖一樣，忽冷忽熱地。今天，人就不舒服起來了，有點頭痛、有點發燒。手氣更是不順，一整個大早，半個也沒尋獲。乾脆回旅館睡午覺去。

今天是我們家 Geocaching 滿一週年的日子，應該要好好全家一起慶祝的，卻單身一個人在上海獵寶，感覺好孤單，好寂寞啊！


Daning-Lingshi Park
This began my Shanghai walk-to-cache Day 2.

Yesterday, it has been a busy day. When I was back to my hotel, it's already 9:00 o'clock. I wrote logs and surveyed caches. I plan 10 more caches to visit today for the next day. When I have done all my works, it was 2 o'clock in the midnight already. But, today, when I waked up. I don't feel right. I overslept. I was kind of feeling heat and dry.

I walked from east entrance of the park. This is really a long walk. When I arrived the canyon, I found a loving couple who were interrupted by me. But I ignored them, so they just left. But a cleaner muggle was also there working on the other side. I have no way, only went out to wait. After 20 minutes, I found the cleaner left. But this time a family at GZ. I guess GZ must be a cool place in park. So, although the place is kind of dark, lots of muggles enjoy taking a rest here. I have no way to make them leave. I carefully examined the hole in owner's picture. But I found no cache but trash. I really liked to jump up a bit to feel those rusted frame, however, the family is so close to me. I dare not to do anything strange. My time is running out. I could only move to next cache.

Thanks Granger Guy, the park is worth a slow walk.

A Beach In Park?



Follow the red brick road
This is my 2nd DNF today.

Hot and muggles are really two of major enemies of geocaching. When I searched GZ, I learned from logs that a vital log is necessary to find the cache. Unfortunately, I got only part of logs, and didn't have the vital log at hand. I tried to search a bit. But, those muggles resting on the rock looked at me with a suspicious face. Once again, I decided to give up the cache.

Thanks maplecookies for the hiding.


Red Monkey
Today must be not my day.

Yesterday, I almost found every cache I visited. Today, I have a continuous 3 DNF. I felt heat. I felt dry. And mostly I felt homesick. I canceled all my schedule to my Shanghai walk-to-cache Day 2. I went directly to my hotel and slept.

The hint made me round and round to the pole. Thanks rabazzo for bringing me here.

Busy Shanghai Station


Red Monkey, where is the cache?



Lions and cranes (Shanghai)
Zhong Shang Park is full of people at Sunday. There were many performers singing all kind of songs from Chinese opera, modern song, to western art song. The whole park is full of energy. The benches on the park are really big and comfortable. I sat down on chair and read description carefully. Hopefully not to skip any thing, because include cache "Lower V3----Shanghai" (later after this cache it is also found), I got already 4 continuous DNF today already. And thanks to cache owner, the coord is very precise, I found it without difficulty.

Thanks to Joyce and mikecoup, this cache begin my found of hunting today. Today, it is also my geocache anniversary. 8/29, a year ago, my family have our first hunting near my house. We didn't found the cache, but we enjoy a very good time. A year after, I cached alone, and found the joy of geocache, which is family and friends.

Geocache One Year



Lower V3----Shanghai
This continued my Shanghai walk-to-cache Day 2.

After waking up from my deep noon-nap in hotel, I felt much better and comfortable. I decided to continue my geocaching schedule, but skip cache "Body & Soul Yoga", a pity, just I'm not sure if Sunday is in her business hours or not. I walked out hotel front door and surprisedly found a busy crowd on street. I were really not used to such crowd.

I followed the coord to the cache, but my GPSr lead my to a position in front of the entrance of park. I could not image how could be a cache be hidden beside such busy traffic. I tried to follow the instruction on cache's description and I just stepped to another side of the road. I thought I need to give up a cache. But after cache "Lions and cranes (Shanghai)" is hunted, I re-read the description carefully, I found myself stupid. Owner told that cache position is changed to few steps further not to a coord. So, here I got it. I also fount it on the right side of those stones, not the left.

Thanks to ianian, the cache is hidden very well. I think it will be kept in v3 for a long time.

My Geocache Anniversary



It Takes 5
What a unique place in Shanghai.

I walked from JiaoTong University Station to the park. Along the way, the neighborhood is very different from all those places I visited in these days. It is very quiet with very few traffic and cars here seem to recognize traffic light. The road is small but lots of trees planted along roads. Beside road, walls are very tall, I'm very wondering what is inside those wall. The park is also very quiet. People were siting on the ground or lying down on bench, the atmosphere is very relaxing which is very different from other parks I visited. I also relax myself very much here. After a long sitting on a bench, I began to feel sleeping.

Thanks to deja_vu and musicdebbi, the cache is found without difficulty. I'm very glad I ended my Shanghai walk-to-cache Day 2 here with your hidden cache.
