Geocache Description:

As you would expect, the cache is not at the listed coordinates.


A concerned dog muggle had rung the 000-line and reported that, when he was walking his dog, he had seen an unconscious cache lying outside its home . As the whole thing sounded a little weird, as a precaution, all three emergency services were dispatched to the scene.
Unfortunately the crews could not proceed all the way to the scene in their vehicles, the listing coordinates give you the place where they were met by the caller muggle and had to leave their vehicles behind. The muggle had an appointment at the vet with his dog, so he was unable to guide the emergency crews to the scene, but he gave them directions on how to get there.

The paramedics grabed their stretcher, the firefighters and police officers helped carry the extrication board, monitor, oxygen and other equipment.
As instructed they followed the bike path for about 50m, turned left and continued along the path to the hill. When they arrived at the place where, according to the dog muggle, it would be easiest to get up the hill with all their gear, they left the stretcher at the side of the path and made their way up. He also had said once they were up there it was only another few hundred metres more. According to the dog muggle the home where the unconscious cache was lying was not too far from a path.
After a few minutes of searching they did spot the 1l Sistema container, lying there, uncovered with only a log book and a pen. Turns out the poor little cache was suffering from 'swag deficiency', which resulted in severe 'signature to swag imbalance' .
The paramedics administered some oxygen and filled it up with swag items. The cache regained consciousness almost immediately and all its vital signs returned to normal - so it didn't even have to go to hospital .
This was a very successful rescue, and the cache is now enjoying its quiet life on the hill again.
If you come to visit, remember to make sure the cache doesn't loose its 'balance'.

To find out where exactly the cache is you will need to follow the directions the emergency crews got and use the clues from the three "000" caches (GC3EGZW, GC3EGZP, GC3EGZJ).
Or you can rely on your luck and simply start searching the hill .
The clues give you a few more details on the directions and tell you how far away from their station (GZ/Final) each crew was once they were on "scene".

Beware of mountainbike muggles and dog muggles. If you are searching for the cache in the heat of the day, don't forget to bring water and sunscreen. If you come around sunset mozzie repellant is a good idea!
