    South Africa 3000 caches

    in South Africa

    Posted

    Wazat, please use caution when going alone up mountains - especially this time of the year...

     

    ..not to be negative - but this listing below made me think a bit more about where I go caching and when and with how many people.. :-) You never know what you may be getting yourself into! B)

     

    I found this cache on event day in Cullinan - and its an awesome cache!!

     

    "Stinky's Little Buddy" Cache in Cullinan just outside Pretoria

    CONGRATULATIONS CRYSTALFAIRY!!!

     

    ..on your 1500 finds!!

     

    Glad you could reach this milestone before leaving the country - your contribution to SA geocaching will be missed.

    TB's that moves

    I ordered one of the vehicle TB stickers and it arrived end of last week. :)

     

    I think it is really cool!!! It will probably take a while for cachers to notice it in actual traffic, but I think it will be nice when discovered at events and other gatherings.

     

    I personally think it is better than the GPS or GEO sign. For the non cacher it should be a weird sign and I belief that some people will question me about it.
    ..agreed.

    I can now remove my geo-sticker and rather have the TB sticker...

     

    Just hope no-one ever grabs my TB!..... :lol:

     

    I will register it soon!

    I've really enjoyed planning & placing mine and am getting nice logs which is really rewarding to read.

     

    Other caches from the TD series that I've done was great too and I enjoyed it so far.

     

    :sad: Will have to get moving to find some more!

     

    Enjoy!

    Love your photo with the Star Crater log...

     

    After seeing that photo at Star Crater of all places, I wanted to know from him: "Are you one of us or one of them?" :unsure:

     

    I've found that cache too - but only saw one of me during the time :ph34r:

    Anlufu, I live about 10kms from Northgate. You're welcome to contact me as well if you are interested in meeting up or have questions on caches.

     

    I like the following caches in this area (I can only make suggestions - not sure whether you prefer clever hides, nice views etc.):

    "Rocky Hill" - GCWAV6

    "Graffiti Wall" - GC19B9P (one of mine)

    "Valley View" - GC17KTH

    "Magnanimous Revisited" - GC10WAP (Also try "The Duka" (GC1465Z) close to this one - I've not been able to find it yet)

    "Tonteldoos XII - Transvaal se Onafhanklikheid" - GC1BQF8 (another of mine)

    "Monkey Business" - GCYH6P (only a micro - nice place)

     

    Then there are others I can really recommend - but further out to Hartbeespoortdam, Midrand, Centurion & Irene. Don't think you'll be interested in those.

     

    Enjoy!

     

    There is also an event hosted in the Cradle of Mankind tomorrow morning - pity I did not know you were coming to make plans. But you're welcome - it is going to be a casual day.

     

    The Cradle Caper Event (GC1DQNE):

    #400 was a cache that took me to a place where I had some flashbacks to high school days..

    Thanks to all for the congratulations.

     

    Well done to all the others recently achieving milestones too. Keep it up guys! :lol:

    Gauteng & Geocoins

    What about just stamping the number on a blank dogtag? I have a lot of blank dogtags that I can use.

     

    Good idea! Except that I don't have blank dog tags. ;) The photo of my coin has the tracking number very clearly readable - but I have been wondering about the durability of just the laminated sheet myself... Maybe I should make a clay coin-like shape thingy and stick the photos onto it? :D It can then be the lightweight version... ;)

     

    Can one get re-issues of TB dog-tags (with existing tracking numbers) - for resending new TB's into the world with the tracking number of a lost one? What happens to lost trackables? Do they simply remain listed as lost and that's it?
