    Just getting my breathing back under control after "running" up Lions Head two days ago chasing a FTF with some others... When the muscles in the legs started to protest I just reminded them that this was just the beginning... Get used to it... The Otter trail is waiting...

     

    Can't wait for Sunday's outing... Good exercise / team building...

    Putting my coffee mug into my backpack right now. :rolleyes:

    I'd love to join in on one of these hikes... and I'll be in Cape Town on Sunday 18 September! I'm also quite keen on the caves (Mines of Moria in particular), so... is anyone up for a group effort on 18 September?

     

     

    Any news on this?

    I'm keen on doing a few of the cave caches in that area..

    Anybody want to lead the expedition?

    Brianhfox --- From Zero to 300 in a blur..

    The rest of us have to keep an eye on the rear view mirror..

    That whirlwind back there will be overtaking us pretty soon..

     

    Well done Brian..

    Wishing you many more happy caching days.

    What did you find out there ?

    I'm sure we all have a story to tell of that something that you found out there while caching.

    Not the cache itself, but something else...

     

    How bout sharing it with us..

     

    Here is my story..

     

    I was looking for a spot to place a new cache that I had in mind for a while now..

    I found a spot with an awesome view, and started looking around for that perfect little hiding place..

    I noticed this overhang, and scrambled down a level to get in there..

    Almost immediately I saw a spot that looked promising, and I edged nearer..

     

    Hey, wait a minute... Behind a small bush I can see a cache container..

    Even the rocks behind it looks like it was packed geocaching style, to hide it from view from the other side..

    Now I know for a fact that there are no caches near this area..

    I thought that I might have hit the jackpot... An FTF even before the cache was published..

    Someone must be working on a listing, and I'll be writing in the logbook already.. How is that for Luck..

     

    I removed the container from it's hiding spot, and opened it up..

    It was filled with sand.. Well that was what my mind told me at first..

    O.K. so maybe it is not a cache container, I thought, and the whole FTF idea got lost just there and then..

    I've put it back, very confused... And then the penny dropped..

    I took it out again, just to make sure..

     

    It was ash.. This is an urn, with somebodies ash in it..

    I immediately put it back, and for a moment did not know what to do..

    It was creepy.. It felt awkward knowing that I stumbled onto the remains of a dead person..

    It took me a minute or two to recover from the shock..

    This was the last thing I've ever expected to find out there..

     

    There was no plaque on the container..

    The view from there is absolutely spectacular, and I can only presume that this person must have loved hiking in this area..

     

    Obviously I placed the cache somewhere else..

     

    Some pictures..

    So who is up for a moonlight stroll up Lions Head on 12 September - the next full moon!

     

    Sounds like it could be fun... and just enough time to make it an event as well, if you are feeling so inclined. Then we can also get a REAL smiley too :rolleyes:

     

    Making it an Event sounds like a brilliant plan...

    Then even the Non-Forum-Readers will get to know about it...

    The more the merrier....
