GIFF 2019

A few weeks back there was GIFF week. Maybe you don't know what it is, but for geocachers it is known term, which decodes as Geocaching International Film Festival. People around the world create 2-3 minutes long video about geocaching for geocachers and 16 of them are chosen for finale. During one week in November movies are presented at GIFF events and cachers vote for the winner.
Simple enough - and movies are often great and funny. Here are several of my favorites over last three years, when I attend these events.

Enjoyed it too and want to see more? Go to Youtube and search for GIFF Film Reel - you can see most movies published since 2013, when this festival was started. Have a good amusement.

Search for cache, find the mushroom

Last Friday I undertook small geo hunt with my friend. To find one of caches, we went on the shore of Bata's canal. There is cycle path on the opposite side of the canal, commonly used by people, while our side was abandoned wilderness - high grass, bushes, no path. And where are no people, you can find various good things, like mushrooms or nuts under the tree, which nobody collects.
See what we have found:

Almost 20 cm in diameter - it's good catch, isn't it?

Mowing orchid meadow

This weekend there was natural saving event - mowing the orchid meadow in protected landscape area Beskydy. Orchid meadows are located near Huslenky - there is more meadows here (well-known is that one around Hrachovec hill). We were mowing meadow at homestead U Maňáků, because it was completely neglected and unkempt. Grass and various non-local plants, like giant hogweed, completely covers terrain, so orchids can't grow at all. Therefore it is necessary to help the nature and next year we hopefully will be able to see flowers, which should be here.
As a small reward for our work we have seen several animal living at meadows, like grasshoppers, lizzards or even little viper (it was found by one of worker of protected land area, who organized this event).

At the beginning

At 11:00 - end is near

Work over - all done!

Christmas in June

What? Christmas are held in December, near the end of year, but this year, in my city, took place in June. Of course it was funny event created by one member of geocaching community. Exact event date was June 24th, because it is 6 months from previous "real" Christmas and 6 month to next "real" Christmas. Good reason to test whether we are ready for this celebration, right?
To be authentic enough, people were asked to come with skies, sledge or other winter sport equipment and bring some small gift. Organizer brought used spruce tree - well, it was completely dry and brown, as it was tree used during last Christmas, and also christmas sweets. Illusion was nearly perfect, when we were sitting at the tree and fire, only snow and sparklers were missing.
Here you ever tried something like this?
