Geocache Description:

Original has been replaced with a larger container. The original description is being left because it was a fantastic time an story...Perhaps a tricky find on what looks to be a nice quiet road just off Highway 11, paying homage to it's journey to this location...

This cache has fun story to it...On Victoria Day 2012, a new cache published called VICTORIA'S VIEW: TWO DIAMOND JUBILEES (GC3KQQJ) by Pilot 172.  Eager for more FTF's, we hopped in the truck and took off for Vonda.  Strictly obeying all speed laws, we made our way to cache site.  Our Ponies were eager to get out and find the cache, until they found out it had no tradables.  Mr and Mrs searched all over for the cache.  While searching about 15 to 20 feet away from GZ, Mrs yells FOUND IT!    and it has a blank log sheet too!    YAY FTF!  And off we went for yet another fun afternoon of caching on, what the ponies now call, Mystery Roads...mmm muddy .


About 3 hours later We got a phone call from bennykidd, asking what had we signed. They had signed the log and didn't find us on it.  We went through an extensive comparison of what was found and how it was placed and boy that really sounds like the cache we found.  Thinking we had got caught up in a happy dance and forgot to sign, we returned to the cache site (we were only 15 miles straight south).  Found it again, but bennykidd and Scratch1 hadn't signed the log.  So we called them and told them that their name wasn't on the log and reverified the details.  Ok, now this is getting strange.  Curious to know what was up, BennyKidds and Scratch1 also began to make their way back.  Then we noticed a different name on the container and log sheet and went BUGGA!    Feverishly we started to search again, right where we had left off a few hours earlier.  Within a couple minutes, Mr had ANOTHER almost identical cache in hand and it was hidden in a very similar manner.  And the laughing began!  A few minutes later, bennykidd and Scratch1 arrived to Mrs holding up both caches.  After we picked ourselves up from laughing so hard, Scratch1 took this pic.

We snagged the cache to return it, but Pilot172 suggested that we keep it and re-hide it.  So here we are.  Thanks Pilot172 for what will likely be our most memorable STF.

This cache is hidden in honour of its original placement, so if you have found the cache noted above, you may have an advantage.  Hope you enjoy the hunt as much as we did.

The cache is hidden with all the same 'stuff' as when we found it: a pencil, original log sheet (incorrectly signed by us), a nano (FTF prize) and some canadian tire money (STF prize).
