This is one of a series of caches in the Mt Carmel
Conservancy.
Well, where does one begin....
We were out doing a day of cache site hunting when we came
across this conservancy. After driving all the way up and loving
every moment of it - we decided to head back down again when
suddenly....that weird knocking sound we'd been hearing on the
bakkie for the last six weeks decided to make itself known!
4 Hours later, a broken balljoint on the wishbone of the bakkie,
a 1km hike to cellphone reception, and a gallant rescue attempt by
our "Fish Eagle" in shining armour and we finally made it back to
civilization. A really interesting thing is that we were so far off
the beaten track that had we not had our GPSr with us to give Fish
Eagle our coords, I dont know if they would have found us!!What a
day!
Fish Eagle had only one demand for their gallant rescue mission
and that was that we lay a cache at the breakdown site - hence this
cache (and its broken bolt from the balljoint as proof)
Please note that the road isn't that bad - and had we seen to
the strange knocking sound 6 weeks earlier, we would never have
ended up with a breakdown!
Thanks Fish Eagle - you are stars!!!!
