Geocache Description:


I WILL WATCH THIS CACHE...A NEW FENCE IS BEING ERECTED PAST IT...........

This cache can be searched and found like any other traditional cache, but …

… it can be the starting point for an international cooperation as well: This cache is just one cache of a set of 24 caches named "IMC No. 2 …" (IMC = International Multi-Cache). These caches are hidden in 12 Countries worldwide: AU = Australia, CA = Canada, DK = Denmark, FR = France, DE = Germany, JP = Japan, LU = Luxembourg, MX = Mexico, NL = Netherlands, PT = Portugal, ZA = South Africa, ES = Spain.

In each country there is a "primary cache" like this one and a "secondary cache" that can only be found with "hints" distributed to all primary caches. The 12 primary caches are named "IMC No. 2 P-x - yyy" and the 12 secondary caches "IMC No. 2 S-x - zzz" where x is the country code given above and yyy and zzz can be any additional name. The hints for the secondary caches are printed on "lists of hints" that are inside the primary caches. As the primary caches are scattered all over the world it will either require a lot of travelling or - and that is the intention of the IMC No. 2 - international cooperation: If you want to find the secondary cache as well, you should contact finders of other primary IMC No. 2 caches and exchange the hints. And please don't be a poor sport! Never publish these hints anywhere! Not in a log report or on any web side. The hints shall only be exchanged / traded between geocachers that found the primary caches and want to search the secondary caches. The IMC No. 2 team wish you good luck!

The Area:

Zoetendals Vallei (Zoetendals Valley).
This cache is on a private farm, and it has been arranged with the owner (Michael) to place a cache here. The “Zoetendal” is an old ship which ran aground close to here in 1764 This farm was named after it. These old windmills are to be found on most farms in South Africa. They are very strong and have pipes and pullrods to draw water up from under the ground from deep depths. The water is then piped to reservoirs or troughs for the animals to drink. Parts to replace broken pieces are becoming scarce and farmers now replace these old windmills with solar powered electric pumps.

Wind is in full supply here (I’m sure we actually must produce it here on the Southern Point of AFRICA!). If you happen to find this cache on a windcalm day, then you are one of the lucky few not to encounter WIND.

The Hunt:
You can nearly drive up to this cache, but you will have to climb through a fence. I just hope that the cows or sheep will be friendly on your day !
