So, I finally got my gift. And it's both super exciting and super fun, and very frustrating. Because it's still a mystery.

My gift came to me in the form of a set of GPS coordinates on Friday afternoon. I got so excited, I barely had time to gulp down the rest of my taco dinner before I ran out to search.

It was dark, and cold, and I must admit; a little bit scary, but it was still fun to search the area using my mobile as a flashlight. However, I had to go home non the wiser.

The next day I got to explore the place in daylight. My girlfriend and I spent a good hour searching, but it's kind of hard when we don't know exactly what we are looking for. We took some pictures of stuff we found in the area and possibly meaningful grafitti, but we still didn't get closer to the gift.

Today, after yet an unsuccessful search, I'm starting to wonder if my secret santa has overestimated my intelligence. If he/she is reading this, I could really use a hint right about now. And if I don't have any sudden revelations during the next couple of days I might even send an orangered begging for help.

Update:

After many searches my Secret Santa sent me the hint "codeword: LUKAS", and after yet another unsuccessful search, I asked for more help. I was told I was looking for a plastic bag with the word LUKAS written on it.

I sadly found the bag empty. So someone has stolen my gift. I didn't feel too bad about it, because it's been fun, but when I asked, and my Secret Santa told me that awesome t-shirts were originally in the bag, I must admit it stung a little. If I see anyone in Trondheim wearing a Reddit or Brainslug t-shirt, they can expect some very suspicious looks coming their way.

Thanks very much to my Secret Santa for the great gift idea, and the treasure hunt. No hard feelings, and better luck to both of us next time.

Update January 13th 2012 About a month ago, I noticed an orangered in the top right corner of my browser window. It turns out my Secret Santa from last year did some stalking on me this time aroud as well, and commented on my submission to r/Geocaching about how much I loved last years gift even though I never recieved it.

December 23rd I got a note in my mailbox stating that I could pick up a package at my local post office. Full of exitement, I rushed down to pick it up, even though it meant postponing my drive home for Chritmas for half an hour. All I can say is ...wow. Thank you so much, luwakstalker!
