Moscow?
Nope, not Moscow.

Maybe a bit more difficult than we thought judging by the lack of answers so here is a hint:
The city has also hosted the summer olympics.

Thank you for the ding - we were fans of Spike Milligan.
We'll change the subject but keep seasonal - what is the host city for the 2022 winter olympics?

Don't understand the question, it must "settle".
On Christmas day (midnight to midnight)
If its any consolation, those are the answers we thought -now we have googled it we are a bit wiser.

Here's another, this time from Saudi Arabia - GCX9TY "Cannibals "Solou" cave.

From the south west of England - GC45H98 Kernow killers- Matthew Weeks.
There were another 3 caches about Kernow (Cornish) killers but these have now been archived.

As of today 10/11/19 my travel bug "Starting Line" https://coord.info/TB48GKB (a stick with tape on it) is in the Netherlands after traveling 2,796,585 miles since 2012. I entered it into a travel bug race, and it's been racing since. A Flight Steward from Thailand picked it up, and being an avid geocacher and world traveler, he may have put me in Top Spot. Some time ago I contacted GC headquarters and they can't separate "virtual" from "ground miles" on the computer.
The same cacher has had your trackable since July 2012 - we would be interested to know if they (1) still have it in their possession (2) actually take it to every cache logged as visited.

All three logs by same username.
Didn't find it
03/09/2019A good long search but no cache to be seen. A few no shows now. Time for owner to check please.
Found it
03/09/2019Missing? Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.
Needs Maintenance
03/09/2019This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Bumping this thread as we have received this log on an EARTHCACHE - we've added the bold, just love attention to detail.
Found it
10/10/2019What a lovely day in and around Newquay, the weather forecast said it would rain this afternoon, but all we had all day was a bit of light drizzle which did not last long.
We parked up on the road (as it was allowed after 31 sept) and made our way down to the beach. Nice walk over to the cave and in we went. After discussing the questions, taken some photos it was time for us to move out to let others in.
Many thanks me N u for placing and maintaining this cache; We signed the log and replaced as found.
The finders knew it was an earthcache as they sent answers to the logging tasks.

Thanks for hiding the boxes to all owners.

23/03/2019There are 3 signs around the park and I searched all of them but no cache. Replaced with a black magnetic micro on the sign nearest the co-ordinates. It’s on the post furthest from the park entrance

Ding to colleda!
That is the common plural, the uncommon being mongeese.

Thank you.
We'll stick with animals for the next question-
what is the common (according to the Oxford English dictionary) plural of mongoose?

Hint: Mellers was close.
We'll hazard a guess at its legs then.

First person to actually make it to ground zero and meet the requirements of course.
Just like with traditional caches, the person that actually makes it to ground zero and signs the log is the first person to find the cache. Doesn't matter if he logs online a week after the next person comes along, he's still the first to find..
25 minutes ago, arisoft said:How the first person knows that he is the first one?
I know one local geocacher who posts only a picture of the empty logbook without signing it to let others to have the FTF.
Curious as to why there would be a logbook for a VIRTUAL cache (our bold in the quoted replies).

02/10/2018We decided to log this as found but we didn't actually touch it, we saw it and climbed to it, but those pesky guardians of the cache (wasps nest) prevented us reaching it! Picture attached to prove the find. Tftc
Found it
02/10/2018Im going to say we found this one. I went to go and retrieve it but it had a wasps next right next to it and i couldnt get past it.

13/04/2019So windy here today but no wasps about. Located and retrieved. TFTC
Found it
15/05/2019Logged as found. Worried about wasps nest so didn't attempt. Allergic to wasps ???
Found it
14/07/2019We spotted the hiding place but like many before us the wasps prevented us from getting up there.
Found it
14/07/2019Like others before us we knew where it was but not attemped it due to the bee's nest

18/08/2019The area has become overgrown this black thorn and there is also a wasp nest very close by

A selection (edited) from found logs on the same cache - a D1 T5 (due to the drive in)
Found it
21/09/2009Our second "Off-road tour". Heart-stopping and unique. Beautiful landscape. A little bit nerve-racking, but the road is really well maintained.

A few months ago we were looking for this cache on the opposite side of wadi Tanuf, near the village of al Aroos. When we realised we had entered one of the digits of the coordinates wrongly into the GPSr, we looked over the ravine and thought: another day! Well today was obviously that day and we were pleased to finally 'bag' this cache. Following the hair-raising drive up and over the mountain, out of Wadi Bani Auf, this recently graded gravel road was a bed of roses. me N u, TFTC. It is a great place to visit with unforgettable views (especially if you actually stood on the other side of the chasm and wished you were where we were now

We decided to explore that road too, only until cache.
Very challenging tour up and down the plateau on graded road.
Found it
23/12/2010This is what geocaching is about! When I saw the "road" winding up for the first time, the part about nerves of steel came to my mind. And, yes, they are quite helpful, as is the vehicle. The view was truly spectacular and the driving experience is nothing short of adventureous, especially for a someone with little offroad driving experience. Thank you so much for making me do this!
Found it
25/01/2011This road seemed to go on forever and was so pleased when we go to the geocache. Great views and definitely need nerves of steel for this one. Glad you made us do this but would not want to go up again!
