Christmas is the planned date to give her the ring, the actual proposal might happen a few weeks later given that the ring is inside a Reverse Geocache box i.e it can only be opened at a certain GPS location, that location is a small island off the north coast of Germany which is approx 400km away from home and so we would need to plan a weekend away. The location is special to her and not just some random faraway island in the North Sea.
In short, christmas day she gets a walnut box that is locked and has a button and lcd screen on the top. Press the button and it tells you the distance to where the box can be opened and the number of attempts (increasing by 1 each time the button is pressed) to 50.
"This is attempt 1 of 50"
Distance 451km
*Access Denied*
Powering Off"
press it again you get "Attempt 2 of 50" etc.Last edited by chef; 10 November 2010, 10:06.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

that should prevent her from over-riding the box but allow me to get access to it if I need to.Last edited by chef; 10 November 2010, 09:49.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment
