Geocache Description:


A ship was wrecked off the coast of Africa.
The radio operator was able to send the SOS message only once.
The message has been received at different points of the Earth.
Unfortunately, each of the recipients got only a half of it. It is also not known who of them got the first part of the message and who second.
Broken message. South.  has one part of the message. Broken message.  North. has another. 

To be able to read the entire message you need both caches.
You have a chance to guess the full message by reading only half of it.
Try your luck in guessing and check if you're right by visiting the second cache.

Note.
1. You are not required to find the second cache. Finding the second one just adds fun to your experience.
2. The half of the message can be found in the top part of the log. It could be on another page.
3. This is a favorite place for bunnies. They've dug a lot of holes. Be careful.
4. No bushwhacking required.

Parking is available along the road. Go inside. In about 100 yards take clearing on the left and come back towards the power line pylon

Note.

Not recommended at night or rain. The terrain is not very friendly. GZ may be dirty during rain.

Team work helps but not required.

Remember, you don't need to use any force to get the cache.

Note. There is NO access to the Broken message. North along the power line.
