Went to grab this one after ducking down to the Leven river to go back and get my torch from a few weekends ago after I left it hanging on a log Easy find TFTC
Thanks.
Took the longer way to walk to this cache, and then it took me quite a while to actually find cache.
Found this cache on a 2 day trip to the NW, covering over 1000 kms and finding around 100 caches of both GCA and GC
Arrived near gz to the sound of more rain. Gpsr didn't like the wet canopy so looked around 2 large trees before spotting another close by with the cache next to it.
The cache did have a tsp of water inside
...contents all ok...all good again now. You'd wonder how water could enter.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for another enjoyable hunt...albeit a bit wet....cheers ST.
After the event on Goat Island we headed off to find this cache as it fitted the criteria for a scavenge. GPS was very erratic here and only found cache after resorting to the hint.
Many thanks 2y’stassies for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience.
