Geocache Description:

Are you a Goat?

A cache placed less than a kilometer into the track used for "The Goat" mountain race, I have never done this race or this track so when we were up here back in October I thought I'd go for a jog along the track a bit, just park up at the Moon Walk cache and follow the marker poles to GZ, the cache is a 1 Litre Sistema (Or if my memory is not as good as I think it is then a 400ml Sistema........





See, it ain't that much of a walk to GZ, you can still see the van in the picture above!!
Be mindful that it is still a rough terrain walk and allow a good 10 minutes to get to the cache, if you are used to running on this terrain then it may only be a few minutes!
We placed this one after archiving a cache to tempt GuanoGerbil to attempt a puzzle, no success.... Maybe this one will tempt him!! The Park and Grab attribute is for him
The kid friendly attribute is also very apt, nothing like getting the kids out from behind the TV screen!
An easy trad.....


If you need the spoiler pic check out the cache location pic in the gallery, of course it may look completely different in the winter months......


Now for those people out there who like puzzles here is a bit of a research one that will get you a set of coords that are irrelevant but gives you that geochecker buzz, go on Gerbil, give it a whirl..... Bonus points if you have bagged any of these peaks.....
