Nano cache that has the coordinates of stage 2 written on the log sheet. Look to the North to see the Flame Roundabout?... The hints apply to the first and second stages. The third stage should be no problem; so no hint there.
The Roundabout at 318 deg azimuth represents a natural gas flame. Most people I know refer to this RA as the Fish Roundabout. The prosperity and boom times in Qatar are in part due to the vast reserves of natural gas that lie just off shore, hence the natural gas flame. About 13 km North from here you will find Ras Laffan Industrial City, home of mega LNG plants Qatargas and RasGas. This is where the natural gas is treated and liquefied for shipment in Huge LNG Tankers to customers on the Pacific Rim. The quirk of this roundabout monument, is that it resembles an Agape Fish standing on its tail. You just have to wonder if the designer knew...
Be careful when removing and replacing the Stage 1 log sheet. This cache container is very tiny and is easy to lose. I have put a tool into this container to assist in removing the roll. When you replace, do not insert the roll completely into the container. When you thread the container together it will leave just enough of the log out so that it can be removed with your fingernails.
Stage 2 is a soda bottle pre-form containing only a cache description and the coordinates for stage 3. This is not too far from the original Stage 2 location which was literally trashed...
Stage 3 of this multicache is a large Lock & Lock container which should be straight forward once you've got the coordinates from the second stage. At the Stage 3 location look to the North and you will see in the distance Ras Laffan Industrial city. Please re-hide carefully ther are many Camelherders that frequent this location.
Happy Caching
