Arma 2 Geocache/ ArmaKešing!

[Placebo]

Dedicated Arma fan and ardent Geocacher RincewindCZ contacted us to ask if we’d spread the word about a special Armaversum Geocache he created. The Geocache has a “Stary Sobor” theme using the same geographic data that we used in the creation of Arma 2. Because the basic Geocache rules are that it must not be commercial it doesn’t contain the name of Arma but of course as any Arma fan will know it’s all the same thing! This is RincewindCZ’s first attempt at a Geocache and he has future plans for more complex and intriguing Arma themed Geocaches.



A special trackable Travel Bug has been created along an Arma2 theme, if you find this RincewindCZ has a special request, that you take a picture of it in some kind of military themed setting (museums, battlefields, graves, uniform, fortifications, soldier, vehicles, models etc etc).


For more information check out the ArmaKešing Facebook page created for the geocache, this includes information and pictures of the cache, as well as some really cool “real life versus virtuality” photos:

Arma 2 Travel Bug (A2TB) was moved from starting location!

It was taken to trip to 5 old bunkers (we requested photos and other activities bound with military made by each Arma 2 TB founder) in vicinity of Ústí nad Labem.

A2TB was moved after this trip to hard to find / and VERY hard to reach geocache named "Rozjímání s Vrkočem" !

(Meditation with Roll of hair - Roll of hair is name of unique rock complex with outlook to river Labe valley, you can find water-fall "Vaňovský vodopád" near of this location)



A2TB is waiting for next lucky finder now!

Tak toto byla bomba a naprosto exkluzivní záležitost. Perfektní stylová schránka a další vychytávky. Ze schránky odebrána jedna pěkná pohlednice Starého (Lipová) Soboru.
Také jsem zavzpomínal na jednu ze svých nejoblíběnějších her - Operaci Flashpoint. Doteď jsem netušil, že Bohemia Interactive pro Armu 2 použily místní mapové podklady. Dnes jsem také navštívil zříceninu hradu Zub . Už se těším na další kešky v této válečněsimulační sérii. Ještě jednou díky.

Damn, too bad I don't have the money to travel! I'd love to visit and explore these locations! Without the money all I can do is follow this thread and drool! Can't wait for more updates!

[Meddy]

We will do our best to bring you accurate recon corporal

[UnuldorCZ]

Pity that it is not in the place where I once had to dig ... But I look forward, to when I have a little more time. I'll definitely do another trip, but unfortunately this time not so much full of action

[Meddy]

We can´t use same place all the time and let you dig there second time. I hope you will enjoy this location´s lookout together with free postcard waiting for you dear UnuldorCZ aka Forum Hero
