The guidlines for placing a cache on geocaching.com state that:
"Caches may be quickly archived if we see the following (which is not inclusive):
-Caches on land maintained by the U.S. National Park Service or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (National Wildlife Refuges) "
So, surely the same would go for the South African Parks Board? Doesn't cache traffic/activity impact on the animals some way?

People, you should know that if you aim at nothing, you'll always hit it. Warthog and I understand that if we fail, we've at least achieved more than we would have if we didn't try!
Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the scouting movement, said that you have to kick the IM out of the word IMPOSSIBLE.
So, who's in?
-
The mission is to get around the world in 80 days or under, visiting a cache in every continent: Asia, Europe, Australia and America (the whole North and South counting as one) and then back to Africa. There are no rules on cachers themselves, you can even take the travel bug yourself to each continent. You can even drop off and pick up the bug at a cache and get it moving again, without having to wait for some other cacher to pick it up.
Maybe we should time it from when the Travel Bug leaves his last South Africa cache to when he arrives in his first South African cache?
-
So how many people have voted so far? Any clues for us to who's looking the strongest? Come on Geocacher_coza, give us just a hint.

So far my biggest loss was also a pair of sunglasses when I was attacked by hornets in the Magaliesburg on the way from In view of the Buffalo (a cache that wasn't even there).
Oh, and my sanity.

Congratulations TVM! Even if it's not SA caches your finding, ur getting the rest of us off our be-hinds!
Well done GlobalRat, nice work! I guess you'll have to be bored again for awhile until a few more caches get placed in SA
The quality of how you play the game is highly comendable! -
Hey Geocacher_coza, I've sent in my vote too, via e-mail. What a hard choice to make, especially since no one tried to bribe me
For those who wern't at the event cache in Pretoria, I can tell you that the prize looks really cool. Mmmm, goodies!
-
The next event cache will definatly have to be a bring and braai
Thanks everyone for coming. Feel free to show us some of your photo's if you have any. I've uploaded some of my crummy pics on the cache site. -

The landmarks thing sounds like a great idea.
What I wanted to know was the exact number of coins made?

Please let me know by this Thursday (1st September) if you havn't let me know yet. Everyone is more than welcome to bring Travel Bugs and Geocoins to trade.
-
Now now, if you had placed the bug in the end cache then we could talk barrels!
-
Thanks GlobalRat, will that be in a couple of six packs or would you prefer a keg?
Edited cuz one six pack isn't the same as a keg

I've booked a table at Café Milagro. It's a very nice place and the manager will even organise couches for us and will give us a good table inside or outside, dependant on the weather

So how many tags will our bugs need to carry? Do we need to leave the chain really long or will a short one be fine?
GlobalRat: I will give you my travel bug at the Unite the Clans event cache.
