A nice "cool and fresh" event organized by some fellow geocachers (linuxgeocacher, seelendoc, preisl) has been yesterday cache journey.
Here you can see the way towards the event.
Having arrived at the cache location we could enjoy pleasant conversations and even meet some "new cachers" next to the ones we already knew. Starting with coffee and cake we proceeded then to something more hearty food.
A hearty THANK YOU ALL to my fellow geocachers and the organizers. Looking forward to meet you again.
Maybe at the next "Stammtisch" ?

From the latest rumors:
And not 100,000+ Geocacher crash the server by simultanously logging on ;)
Well, fortunately I have a backup of my pocket queries.
After I posted my www.geocaching.com down, I noticed that others on Vox also had some posts:
***CLICK*** and I ended up with a google warning:
Well, in fact maybe my Internet Guard ***could*** have saved me from some malicious programs but its nice Big G also has a look ;)
So always be aware - if something bigger happens there are people out there who try to get their profit from big news...
PM: Might also be a false warning *but* better one warning too much than one less.
To bad - thats the site I (and many other geocachers rely on).
According to news and rumors from Jeremy Irish (the CEO and founder of Groundspeak) the cause is a fire in the data center where they host their servers.
Latest rumours say they should be back in maybe one hour from now.
According to Jeremys Twitterstream the situation is like:

So - photos are more or less sorted, all Geocaches have been logged now to the most tedious work: BlogIt(tm).
Guess in the next days I can share with you some moments from my vacation in the Salzkammergut.
Expect some travel journals, an article "Anatomy of a cache hunt" and (hopefully) photos you will enjoy.
