Why?!? What happened?

Some stupid play stuff of the kids which I confiscated over a year ago (without them actually knowing about it), and add it to a new cache. And guess what? They found it on a great father & son outing about 100km from the other cache. I had some explaining to do . . .

I spoke to GPS Storm over the weekend who said something about not making it an event but just a casual hike. Myself would prefer an event.

One unlucky guy had to stay up all night and wake the others in the morning?

That would be one very interesting event. I wish I will be able to join.

Congrats Fish Eagle. Another milestone!

WOW! That's a beautiful place. Unfortunately I don't know where it is. Yet.

Picked up the ball and started to run, Webb Ellis style!?

Tackled the ref?

Stem saam met cincol.

Hi Steven. The oldest 2 of my monkeys, who you've met on the Kaapsche Hoop hike, had no problem when we did the last hike up to the Leopards cave. The youngest of the two is now 8. But I must confess that it do take a lot of strain on your own nerves when you have to tackle some of the more serious stuff. My nr. 1 was 9 when we did our first gorge hike and had no problem with that. I will say that if the kids are well behaved, athletic, and not easily scared, they will be fine.

I haven't done a fully wet one yet. So, I'm in!

I use the Nokia 5230 with "geocachinglive". But that is my secondary device after my Garmin.

When I checked this morning, there were only 6 OC caches in the entire Africa. Now there are 15. Even one in Windhoek! I just might also put one out there.

Pinks? If it is a drug.HeHe.

According to the book "A game ranger remembers" by Bruce Bryden, Operation Trampoline involved planting a sisal plants fence between two fire breaks a few hundred meters apart along the entire boundary on the Eastern border of the Kruger Park. This was done in the early 70's to keep the Mozambiquans out ...(aimed to make the border people-proof). But, as soon as they planted the sisal, they were eaten by monkeys, elephants and the like. They never got off the ground and the project was a miserable failure. The operation was both an ecological and a planners failure. If the operation extended to other parts like SWA?... I don't know, but it's very possible. Go for it cincol.

Nope.

Something to do with people and plants.

Now you're off.

Getting closer. Both of you.

Nope. But it has something to do with the wild and it's much closer to home. My home.

Thanks. Nice EC of GPS Storm in Barberton. What was "Operation Trampoline"? And how successful was it?

Pyrite? Pyrite is a combination of iron and sulphur. I remember something about from EC in Barberton.

Mac-Mac, Pilgrim's Rest and then at the De Kaap Valley and Barberton.

Nope, no TB's available. I hope to get one end of November.
