- food, or some substitute, used as a lure in fishing, trapping, etc.
- a poisoned lure used in exterminating pests.
- an allurement; enticement: (Employees were lured with the bait of annual bonuses.)
On the website of dictionary.com, the above was found as the definition of the word bait.
- Taking the definition above into account, one might start to wonder what the aim of this geocache placement was. I will try to put your fears at rest with my understanding of the definitions.
- No food is to be found at these coordinates.
- If you refrain from eating the local flaura, there is little chance of being poisoned here. (Nobody needs to be exterminated, except maybe those poor log writers
)
- This might very well be true. This small preform tube that only contains a logsheet (read here: BRING YOUR OWN PEN), was without a doubt placed to lure the adventurous geocacher here. The bonus you can expect here is the awesome view, and a smiley face on your geocaching map.
Who will be the first to take the bait?
This cache was placed on the 2 day overnight Harkerville trail. It is on the left of the path as you decend towards a small river crossing.
When you get very close to the cache, there is a small rockface to your left. It is a very good viewpoint for the scene below you. Standing on GZ, there will be a 3 to 4 meter high cliff right in front of you. No need to go right to the edge, you do not have to anything dangerous here to find the cache. Try not to trample the surrounding vegetation please. The cache can be found without bundu bashing or vegetation destruction.
This two-day, 24 kilometre hike, starts and ends at the Harkerville Forest Station. It passes through some prime examples of high-forest, crosses sections of coastal fynbos and takes the hiker along some breathtaking natural scenery along a cliff-coast. Bookings for the two huts, the Harkerville and the Sinclair, should be made with the Forestry Regional Office in Knysna, Tel: (044) 3825863.
