Geocache Description:

At the foothills of Table Mountain, there is a little stream that carries gold. Find the stream and, if it carries water, you will see the precious metal glistening in the sunlight. Bring a pan and fill your pockets with pure Gold!!!

But it is not that easy to find real gold.

There are six caches altogether and as an aspiring gold-digger, you will have to solve a riddle of some sort at each cache, to prove that you are smart enough to handle the wealth you will find.

All of the stages are fairly easily accessible, except for the last one, where you will find the gold. Closed shoes recommended.

You can park your car at the end of Bridle Road in Oranjezicht and walk the entire cache, or take two very short drives in between stages. Overall time for the whole mystery, not less than a good hour, I would guess?

You may want to bring pen and paper for notes or drawings. Oh, and your gold-pan, of course.
