A GeoExcursion to a Cosplay Seaside park




We rented a van today for six hours and moved some stuff to Hiroko's mom's other place. Then we had some left over hours and decided to go for a drive. We were stuck in traffic and it took us an hour and a half to go the 25km but we made it to a seaside park out by Makuhari Messe in Chiba. It only took 15 minutes on the expressway to come back.

The park was quite nice but we didn't have a lot of time as the van needed to be back in 3 hours. But there were a few geocaches around so we attempted to get them.

The first one was a multicache. I had to climb to the top of this spiderweb and get some info that would fit into the next coordinates. Unfortunately the coords led us to a spot where we could not find the cache.

The peak was pretty high up and as other kids were playing on this spiderweb it moved around quite a bit. I made a brief video on my iPhone and will see what I can do with it.

That is Hiroko waaay down there.

Then we went searching for another cache and we found it. But as you can see it was well camouflaged. It took a bit of time to find it but we did.

I am not sure why but there were a lot of cosplayers in the park dressing up and taking photos. It must be a hangout park for them. It was kind of cool to see them all.

We tried the multicache again but were not fortunate. There was another cache we wanted to get but it was in a smoking area and several cosplay boys had taken over the area and were sitting there smoking and relaxing. So we gave that one up and headed home. That's the adventure for the day.

I love you!
