Gustaf Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Now you can practice geocaching at home, with the Geocaching simulator. The simulator is in Swedish, but all the Swedish you need to know is Karta=Map and Navigering=Navigation. Click on the picture and use the arrow keys to move. I have found cache 1-4, but not the last one. [This message was edited by Gustaf on July 20, 2003 at 05:20 AM.] Quote Link to comment

+Rattlehead Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Haha! That's pretty neat. Watch out for the large green amphibians. Quote Link to comment
+TeamJiffy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Well, I found 1-4 as well, and got to the location of #5, but there's a sign there and I cannot find any cache. How do I log a not found? -Jif Quote Link to comment
+The Cheeseheads Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I was hoping for a first-person cache-em-up, kind of like this... - - - - - I wish I could hear the soundtrack to my life. That way I'd know when to duck. Quote Link to comment
Dan Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I suppose you'd log your experience here. Could someone translate the sign? Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Maybe the sign says "Stop Stepping on Our Frogs!" Neat little game. I'm guessing the location of the last one has something to do with the actual cache# GC55A5, but we'll have to find someone to translate for us. Maybe they could work some kind of time limit into the game to give it a little more challenge. Or maybe some kind of obstacles, like ticks or nettles or disgruntled land owners.

+CWL Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Pretty cool! Do I get to log my finds?!? heh heh Quote Link to comment
+GPS_Brian Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The waypoint for the 5th cache is GC55A5 which is this one: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC55A5 -=-=-=-=-=- GPS_Brian =-=-=-=-=-= Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 After checking the location and checking my wallet, I won't be logging this cache anytime soon! Can't read the sign anyway! The Swedish version is more fun! Maps?!? I don't need no stinking maps! I got coordinates! There's a fine line between Geocaching and mental illness, I just not sure which side of the line I'm on!

Stenebo Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Well. The response on our Geocache-simulator is very flattering! But the English version was not ready yet! No one where suppose to find it – yet. I hope you had a god laugh at our English – we cannot spell or create a proper sentence structure. The simulator was placed on the internet for beta-testing and to be proofread. Now the English version is working, but the spelling is not yet corrected. Swedish version: http://www.hyrspel.se/geocache/gpscache.html English version: http://www.hyrspel.se/geocache/eng/gpscache_eng.html Have fun!!!

And your English really isn't that bad at all. I think that the frogs should jump when I step on them though, or at least croak or complain. The guy holding the GPSr ought to be making noise too. Like when he runs into the rocks, or the trees, he should be going "ouch." Or whining about the bugs, or the fact that it's about a kilometer to the next waypoint.
