    Oh, here is a joke from that time. 'John Denver was a plane down to earth kind of guy'.

     

    Eeew!! Don't even start!

     

    This is how I heard about the death of Diana, the following morning my friend, walking to varsity, said:

     

    "Diana was on the radio this morning.....

    and on the dashboard, and the window......"

     

    I will never forget the year she died!

    Are the targets too formidable? Are we scaring the caching community off? Where is the sense of adventure?

     

    Who's scared? :(

     

    10 are on gravel roads (this is suitable for any Porsche or road bike, just means it is not on tar anymore)

     

    GR8!! Yes, since all geocachers I know have Porches... ;-)

     

    I'm loving this forum guys... looking forward to the pre-event activities already.. :D

    You guys rock!!! Sounds great!

     

    BTW...

    Hope that helps! Will try and mark the caches as such, i.e. Vehicle level 1, 2 or 3. The 2.5 ratings will be interesting - make sure you have the phone number of a buddy with a bakkie to come help if you beach your Golf!

    Is there any way to determine the number of underwater (scuba) caches in SA?

    PQs now have the option to search on cache attributes. There are 3 scuba caches in South Africa: D®ive the Bus, A Scuba Miracle and Bass Lake. There are a further 13 that require swimming.

     

    ..of which 'A Scuba Miracle' is the only actually 'hidden under water' cache.. :P

    ...and for 'D®ive the Bus' one has to do a wreck dive to gather clues to the final coordinates of the cache.

    Both these need some simple maintenance, although they are still there according to latest non-geo info. Owners to visit dive locatin in Feb/March.

    Not Dutch... they were created by a Belgian guy.

    I believe they are called 'Schtroumpfs' in French and I've seen them called 'Pitufos' on a Facebook group (don't know in which language that is).

    There is also a website where one can buy figurines where they are called 'Schlumpfe'.

     

    We'll take a guess at 50 years old and they are either Scandanavian or German.

     

    They were first created in a cartoon strip in 1958 which makes them 1 year older than Barbie. :-) 51 years = close enough CnC.

     

    You're smurf! :)

    The cartoons (television series) were showed in the 1980's... but the original comic strip is older, and not American..

     

    I want a Sassette smurf... which I cannot seem to get hold of anywhere... you get Sassette with brown and with red hair - needless to mention which scarce collectable I'm interested in. :-)

    Bet you don't have her in your collection CnC!?

     

    The MacDonalds group put the bigger size smurfs in their kiddies mcmeal packs some years ago. The MacDonalds at the intersection of Beyers Naude & the N1 has two or three and could have made a fortune out of selling me just one Sassette from their toy showcase - but apparently they 'don't know' where the key is to give me one. :)

    hehehe thanks to CnC's girlie question, I get a turn..

     

    How about a Smurf question? Awe c'mon!!!

     

    With pleasure!!!

     

    Here goes:

    We know the smurfs best from the cartoon series on television. These showed from 1980. The smurfs are much older than this, however. They were first introduced as a comic strip.

    My question: How old are the smurfs really?

     

    :)
