The Easiest Cache on Table Mountain Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Henzz: Time for some house keeping...
The standard of caches in the Western Cape are generally quite high...
This one rates below average...

I will try to do better with future cache placements.

Thanks to all that came along and found this cache.

Geocache Description:


Cape Town Cachers can easily be divided into two very distinct groups.
Let's call them City Slickers and Mountain Goats.

City Slickers roam the streets of this City for caches in parks, on sidewalks, beaches and in shopping centres.
They find micros and nanos with the greatest of ease.
Twenty caches for the day are rather easy to achieve.

Mountain Goats however are drawn to the paths, ledges, cliffs and caves of Table Mountain.
When the Mountain calls their name, they come running with Ready-packed-hiking-bags.
Sometimes a whole day will only yield one or two caches.

   -----xxx-----

The idea of this cache is to get City slickers to step out of their comfort zone.
You will not be exposed to any dangerous cliffs or tricky scrambles.
You don't even have to be fit to do this cache.
It could be done in less than 10 minutes.

From the start of the trailhead to the cache is only about 200 metres.
Make sure to look around and enjoy the views.
To your left will be the magnificence of Table Mountain.
To your right you will have a clear view of Camps Bay.

When you get to the cache site you will find a fire extinguisher.
Stand closer, and place your left hand on it.
Now place your right hand on the extinguished fire.
The cache is right beneath your right hand.

That was not too bad, now was it?
Now you can head back to the car if you want to.
Or you can take a leisurely stroll further along the Pipe track.
I'm hoping you'll be choosing to explore a little bit more.

Just for fun… FTF Handicap.
City Slickers …. Go… Go… Go…
Mountain Goats …. 1 Day Penalty…
Who will be the 1st City Slicker to set foot on the Mountain?
