Derrick, unsurprisingly was the first to reach the boundary of the Water Tower.
"It's not a problem" Ruth chimed "The cache isn't in the Water Tower grounds, it is magically just outside, that's what my map says anyway. We can enter the thicket of trees to GZ"
"Well that's re-assuring, but what about all those evil looking red eyes staring at us from in the wood and what about that huge dinosaur following us up the track? And are those trees actually walking." Marcus sounded a little concerned.
"Pish Tush" uttered Derrick.
"What?" questioned Marcus.
"It's an old saying my Jackie used to use. You need some more Halloween beer" cajoled Derrick.
And so the traipsing trio trounced into the trees with turbid tootsies and thirst quenched throats.
They headed in and walked only a few yards before there fancy spancy transceivers started beeping. They looked where their plastic boxes were pointing and it was a large tree a couple of yards the other side of the wood's boundary fence.
Luckily it looked like a rather large dinosaur had trampled the fence down so it was a simple matter of walking over the fence.
Derrick went first and reached the tree, he looked around the back of the tree and saw that it was partly hollow. Inside he saw a sliver of something not quite right. It looked like camo tape.
With scant regard for his own safety he placed his foot on a small root a little down the bank and thrust his hand into the organic camo and retrieved a reasonably sized clip and lock box all wrapped up in camo tape.
His grubby little hands soon had it open and he'd pocketed the trackables before Marcus could spot them. Mission accomplished!
Now, with only 2 more problems to deal with, Derrick confidently returned the box without sealing the plastic bag inside that held the log book. It was at this point that the full moon came out and as Derrick looked down into the bowls of the tree he spotted the hundreds of giant bird eating spiders heading his way and thousands of false widow spiders crawling up the sleeves of his coat and all over his body ....
Marcus and Ruth took one look, turned to each other and said "Joint FTF?" before running back down the hill towards the car and safety.
