Due to my advancing age, I (and my doctor) am concerned about the possibility of my experiencing a medical situation while on the road to Maintain one or more of my 120 GC Geocaches and 50 GCA Geocaches.
If you live near this Geocache, or regularly travel near it, you might be interested in Adopting this Geocache (or more of mine). Please let me (WanderingAus) know by Message at
Geocaching Message Center
if you are interested, including the cache code or codes
(e.g GC1745J for this cache).
Due to the temporary nature of pens and pencils in my geocaches
BRING YOUR OWN WRITING IMPLEMENT!!!
Please note that Mary Carroll Park is a Wildlife Reserve, so your faithful companion will need to miss out on this adventure.
To reduce the confusion which might arise when tags or strips go missing, all the new tags or strips have the Waypoint Number the coords apply to before the coords, so that the tags at WP1 start with W2, the tags at WP3 start with W4, etc. The tags at WP5 start with GZ.
There are five waypoints leading to GZ. Since ALL Waypoints AND the Final have the same base coordinates, S 32° 04. ' E 116° 00. ', the most recent metal strips only show the Waypoint Number the coords apply to followed by the Decimal Minutes part.
The above coords are for WP1, which is only a few metres from a car park where you should be able to safely leave your car while you hunt the cache. At WP1 you will find a man-made object with a short galvanized steel strip nailed to the back (below a longer log-retaining strap). The Decimal Minutes for Waypoint 2 are stamped on the steel strip, and also written on the back of the steel strip. There is also another similar steel strip in a similar position about six metres left of the first one.
At WP2 the Decimal Minutes for Waypoint 3 are stamped on a steel strip nailed to a short small tree trunk, on the side towards the water, and also written on the back of the steel strip. There is also another similar steel strip nailed to a nearby tree on the side towards the water.
At WP3 the Decimal Minutes for Waypoint 4 are stamped on a steel strip nailed to the back of a man-made object (partially obscured by a bush), and also written on the back of the steel strip. There is also another similar steel strip wired to the nearest steel object to the right.
At WP4 the Decimal Minutes for Waypoint 5 are stamped on a steel strip wired to the middle of the mesh fence at the fifth upright from the water, and also written on the back of the steel strip. There is a duplicate steel strip wired to the middle of the mesh fence at the upright nearest to the water.
At WP5 the coordinates for the cache GZ are on a dymo tag attached to the back of a wooden object. Note that this is THE ONLY DYMO TAG STILL IN USE. The Decimal Minutes for the cache GZ are also stamped on a steel strip nailed to the back of that wooden object below the dymo tag, and also written on the back of the steel strip.
The cache is now a drab camouflaged 500 Ml round screw-top container, hidden under branches at the base of a tree. Please be sure to securely tighten the lid and re-hide it well with the available material.
Contents are log book, finders cards, a pen, two pencils, a pencil sharpener, and a few swaps.
When trading items please consider trading up or trading even and leaving items that you would want to find, and please don't take the pen, pencil or sharpener. If you can't trade up or trade even I don't mind seeing TNLNSL in the log.
Trackables (geocoins and travel bugs) are not tradeable items. Please feel free take them without making a trade, but please leave a note in the logbook and your online log, and do log them online.
