Still some odour. "Wasn't me" I declared to Mporokosa. Easy find but it was not visible (as noted a few days ago). TFTC
 
21-Apr-11
Thought maybe Chocochunk had had too many onions on his sausage (freebie from Driver Reviver campaign), but it was just the area, thankfully as we still had many hours' driving ahead. Great little private area.
 
21-Apr-11
Easy cache, but very unpleasent odour around here today.

Took about 30 minutes to find but what a lovely wee spot. I have been stopping at this spot for the past 35 years and never knew that lovely wee path was even there!!! Thank you for taking us there! GPS was doing weird things, set us off on the right path and then spin us around in another direction! Perservered and got there in the end. Cache is safe and dry. Enjoyed a delicious double scoop lime and chocolate ice-cream during the search. Couldn't stand still for too long as the sandflies were starving today!
