The story:

It was a sunny saturday afternoon and Jasper and Gordon-James were out in the park with Gordy's dog "Stinky-bum"and a packet full of dates from the palm tree in Jasper's parent's garden.

Of course, they also had their "ketties" with them and they were launching dates at all manner of target including the occasionaly unfortunate Stinky.. 

While trekking a little further into the corner of the park they came across an abandoned old Jet Ski!

"Woweeee", shouted Jasper, "a jet ski! Watch me Gordy I am going to ramp the biggest waves!!" He bounded onto the jetski and pretended to be racing Dustin Motsouris in a world championship race while simultaneously fending off swashbuckling pirates by giving them a good dose of date medicine. "Hey Gordy, I just sent that pirate captain on a blind date by shooting him in his good eye! Hahahahaha!"

"Dont be silly," said Gordon-James, "there's no water around here".. 

No sooner had he said it than "SPLAT, splat, SPlaT, sPlAt!" a cascade of water bombs started raining down at them with laughter coming from the trees! Stinky-bum was running in circles barking at the chaos while Jasper and Gordon-James dived for cover.

"Prepare to fire", shouted Jasper as the boys readied their ketties in defence.

A volley of dates disappeared into the dense green vines encircling the trunk and lower branches of the tree.

"Eina, that smarts! I surrender!" 

"If you come down from the tree, we'll go easy on you" said Jasper, wringing water out of his shirt. The command was followed by a rustling and a "plop" on to the leaves below. 

The little boy not much younger than the other two emerged from around the back of the tree rubbing a red mark on his cheek.

"My name's Jasper and this is Gordon-James who are you and why are you here?" 

"Same as you, I am just having some fun in the park, you guys just happened to be the only people I could reach with my water bombs from my fort, the name's Jonathan by the way." "Want to see my fort?"

"Ah wow that's so cool!" exclaimed the boys in unison "let's check it out!"

The boys spent the rest of the afternoon laughing and joking in their new hideout with a new found friend. 

"We need to think of a name for our gang" said Jonathan. "Indeed, we do.." said Jasper, "Indeed, we do."

 

The cache:

The cache is big enough to hold a small amount of swag and the notebook. 

Note that the door may stick a little (to deter monkeys from getting in to it) but will open.

Please dont remove the main container from it's location or hang on it.

I suggest parking at the recommended parking co-ords.

Please use stealth and re-seal the containers/zip-lock bags.
