Always love the thrill of being the first person at a new GZ... this one came out while I was at home, less than 2km away. It doesn't get much luckier than that!

Randomly stumbling into this instance.

Sorry for the stupid question. What is that? Thanks in advance.

Not stupid at all! This is a log sheet from a geocache.

Geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt game. People hide containers -- think tupperwares, or smaller -- anywhere outdoors, then pin the location on an online map, and anyone can go out and find them. Every geocache contains a log book or sheet where you can sign your name once you find it. This particular log sheet if from a brand new geocache, showing my own signature as the first person to find it -- often a sought-after achievement that comes with bragging rights in the community
