Dear John and family, on Dec 25, 2014 I finally placed my first SamStone. It’s very close to my home town Karlsruhe in Germany. The SamStone can be found in the town of Ettlingen in a stone wall at the edge of a very small creek called Krebsbaechle (“crab creek”) right before it joins the bigger Alb creek (which actually continues to Karlsruhe and comes by only 200 meters away from my parent’s home). The longitude of the SamStone is about 8.421301, the latitude 48.93531 (or N 48° 56′ 7.118” / O 8° 25′ 16.684”). I hope you find the place on a map. All the best and a happy and healthy 2015, Andrea

Sam’s Great, great grandfathers family was from Ettlingen !
