This second train will be a bit different from the previous one, with puzzles themed around geocaching.
Finding the caches will be possible using the given coordinates and the description of the hiding spot. However, you may often need additional clues, such as reviews and photos posted by previous finders.
If you hit a wall while solving a puzzle, I'll be keeping an eye on feedback and can offer a hint or two to help. Have fun, everyone!
(Feel free to skip the italicized flavour text sections.)

General Tips:

  • Most of the puzzles involve Google Maps.
  • The provided/solved coordinates are accurate; if you don't find anything within a 10-meter radius to click on, try zooming in and out. If nothing shows up, you're probably in the wrong spot.
  • Although I call it geocaching, in this game, you don’t need to find the caches—focus on the codes."

The train journey is comfortable, but you soon start to get bored. At the next longer stop, you decide there's just enough time for a quick geocaching adventure. Searching nearby on the web, you find the closest cache:

CACHE 1
Location: 39.447204, -6.405313
Description: I’ve hidden the cache near a big rock with a cross shaped stone carving. The code to open it is in a visible spot. Good luck with the find!

HINT:
if you find something but don't know what to do with check out zelgh's guide to get an idea
================================================
there's a tool in the guide above, use a method where "WW91IHNvbHZlZCBpdCE=" makes sense

Google Maps tells me there are 3 photos for that location, but I can only view two of them. One from April 2023, and one from August 2023. Is the clue visible in those two photos, or did you upload a more recent one with the clue? Is it possible the third photo has been hidden for moderator review?

I still can still find the stuff even if i'm logged out from my google acc. And there was a recent response from an user about findig it too. Try to look for it a bit more, it should be there somewhere :)

Is that confirmation that I do need to view this third photo, and the clue isn't in the other two? I checked with both Chrome and Firefox, logged in and out, and I only see 2 photos. Could the third photo be region-locked somehow, explaining why others can see it? Based on the post description I don't think that simply trying to find a link to the picture is supposed to be part of the puzzle. If you are willing to share a direct link to the photo on imgur I would appreciate it, otherwise I don't think I will be able to participate.

I dont want to share bigger hints yet, but I recommend check some other older [solved] puzzles, there was some good one, a few even had little general guides/tipps.

Searching for a needle in a haystack sounds even worse than just going blindly into your actual puzzle.

Hmmm I have absolutely no clue what's expected of me. It's fine, most puzzles nowadays are getting too difficult for me, and the time spent figuring them out usually isn't compensated by the rewards at the end. Thanks!

I see one of the pictures has a heavily edited area but nothing I can make sense of. Any hint on that? Are my eyes or my monitor getting old?

...nope, I'm clearly still missing something about what to do with this 'code' I've found. Yes, I checked the puzzle guide, no, it did not help me get unstuck.
Edit: I was misunderstanding some wording.

I have no idea what to do with the 8 characters. Is the last one really a '=' ? Found no jigidi and itstohard does not work anymore.
