The Chameleon 2 Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

A replacement for the now archived "THE CHAMELEON (RIYADH ESCARPMENT)" GCP61D: a hard to find cache that was apparently muggled.
We thought this site was still a great location for a cache and have placed a similar container to the original (but in a different place). Additionally, due to the original Chameleon and several other local caches mysteriously going missing recently, we have made this a Premium Members cache.
Since a quarry cuts the track from the top of the escarpement you have to find the way in now from the Dhurma/Feisals Finger side. You will need a vehicle with good ground clearance - not a saloon car - as the last part is an off road drive (using a saloon car requires a hike of 1,5 to 2km to GZ). If you find the right way you can drive as near as approximately 900m distance to the cache site. Then the heaviest parts starts to hike & climb up 300m to GZ.
The area below the cache is a popular picnic/camping spot and you will be rewarded with wonderful views of Faisals Finger and the edge of Tuwaiq escarpment.
Note: The hint knocks only one star off the difficulty rating, i.e. even with the hint it remains a tad difficult. There is no room in the cache for swaps though it is arguably not a small micro.
BRING YOUR OWN PENCIL.
Be prepared to be away from your vehicle for some time and travel well prepared (carry enough food & water).
