Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in the home territory of the glenferns and takes you to a few of our favourite parks. The cache is a one litre container hidden in a local park. Like our other caches to date its a short mystery but hopefully a fun challenge for our fellow cachers. Overall walking distance is less than 2km. The cache is started with a couple of travel bugs, a pathtag for the first to find and other goodies.

To find this cache you will need a local directory or map.

If you’re new to ciphers this page will also help: http://www.scouting.org.za/codes/codeword.php

Note: I have coded in reverse to make it harder to crack the code via software as this is against the spirit of the cache.

At the listed cache coordinates you will find a small park that contains the first clue. Along the side and back fence there are several large trees. Four of these (three down the side and one at the back) are of a particular type. What is their common name? Use this to decode the next location and clue:
