Wind power, GC2B62N. Thats a really impressive structure! PS, we licked that. Bet none of you have Yep - you're it - can you believe - I was there for about 2 hours - and only found out when I got back to KZN I was a few metres from a cache Thanks CH, I'll try get a pic ASAP. I guess it means you'll have to come back and cache the area again I (J) like doing things we've never done before. Even better if its something that no one has ever done before, although it is possible someone else has licked the wind turbine.

A strange thought popped into my mind: Jeff Wilson's mother. But a bit of research told me that Jeff Wilson was born in 1973. Most of this was triggered by CH's response, since Jeff Wilson played cricket for New Zealand as well as rugby.

Its a bit far, but we'll be doing some hiking closer to home this weekend.

I suspect a live pansy shell would break apart pretty easily. On second thoughts, the question said "shatter" so one of those branched corals would do that. and since it would no longer be attached to the reef it would die.

You know you are a geocacher when.... 1. You buy tupperware on every grocery trip "just in case" 2. Your hiking boots live in your car "just in case" 3. You convert your fishing tackle box to a geocache repair kit 4. You have a ready-made fake rock mould 5. LBH PNA ERNQ GUVF JVGHBHG QRPELCGNAT 6. You consider making your wedding bands trackable...

OK, here goes with a new one. It's my daughter in the pic - she thoroughly enjoyed doing this cache with me. Is a clue needed? Krantzkloof area. The pose seems a bit "I am here" ish, so I'll guess an Earthcache. given the clue, how about Kloof Gorge, GC1CX74?

The Fourth Reverse - GC199YZ Well done TechnoNut, all yours.

Maybe a clue is needed, sincs its been more than a week since anyone took a guess. Same place, new photo.

Nope, it was in 1881. 130 years ago the decline in the animal populations of Africa was first noticed.

I have just re-read this one and taken some time to think about it. 'South of the Zambesi' makes me think the person who said this was in the then Southern Rhodesia. The only name that comes to mind is Selous. I think his first name was Frederick. Just a wild shot. Just a wild shot? Enough hunting puns already Correct! Frederick Selous was a big game hunter in Southern Africa. He was quite an amazing character, credited with being the first conservationist, as the quote suggests. He was Theodore Roosevelt's guide when he hunted in Africa, and guided Cecil John Rhodes on his expedition to Mashonaland. H. Rider Haggard based the character Alan Quatermain on him as well. Over to Cownchicken, but I'm still open for anyone who wants to have a guess at the year though?

You do have some interesting answers up your sleeve! Not right yet, lets see what else you have for us?

Not Paul Kruger, lets see what else is up your sleeve

Nope.

Think Rhodes was too much of a wimp to hunt!! True - but he was involved in many "projects". Not Rhodes, same time frame though.

Thanks VryBurgers, I'll stick to a theme too. Who said: "Every year elephants were becoming scarcer and wilder south of the Zambezi, so that it had become impossible to make a living by hunting at all." Happy points if you can get the year as well.

If you look at the big 5 critically, its the 5 most dangerous animals to hunt. Now I just checked my wallet and dont have a R10 note, but I'm pretty sure the R10 has a white rhino on it, and a black rhino is more dangerous...

Correct. Yap is known for their stone coins. Many are too large to move, so when they change ownership they are left in place. The largest are about 4m high and the heaviest apparently needs 20 adult men to move it. The value of the coin is based on the size and the history of the stone. They are used mostly for ceremonial transactions, day to day stuff is paid for in USD.

Yap is an island in the Pacific, part of Micronesia. Not sure what their dog population is like, but thats not the answer I'm after. Man/Woman ratio is unlikely as well, given their warrior background.

Joost vdw and Bryan Habana. Habana has taken an age to get from 30 to 38, after scoring his first 30 in a stupidly small number of tests. Shot guys - over to GHT for a question. Guys? I think you can guess which of us got that one The Island of Yap is famous for having the largest what?

Nope. getting closer, but still a good way out.

more than 100km out, less than 600km out.

Thanks MnCo, how about this one:
