Geocache Description:


This cache forms part of the Kogel Bay Bullet GeoArt series.

The cache is NOT at the coordinates listed. It is a mystery cache, which means you have to find out some information to help you determine where the true co-ordinates are. Below is a question that you have to correctly answer. You can then use the coordinates next to the correct answer to “update coordinates” on the cache page. This will lead you to the final destination cache. Once you have found the cache and logged it, the smileys will appear to form the geo-art of the bullet on your map.

Question: Can a bullet travel faster than the speed of sound?

Answer 1: Yes - then coordinates are S 34° 14.203, E 018° 51.676
Answer 2: No - then coordinates are S 34° 14.585, E 018° 50.774

If your answer gives coordinates that look wrong, then they probably are, as the caches are located along a walking trail, and not in water!

The caches are placed along the Klipspringer Hiking Trail in the Steenbras Nature Reserve.
NO HIKING PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TRAIL. (Unlike Steenbras Gorge and Crystal Pools)
This trail should only be attempted from 07:30 to 16:00.

This series can either be done as a 16km challenging "red" route containing 29 caches, or a shorter easier 4km "blue" route containing 15 caches. (See route map in gallery). NOTE: the red route can take up to 9.5 hours to complete so be prepared.

Guidelines: Don't feed the baboons, Don't remove animals or plants from the nature reserve, Don't disturb nesting birds, Don't litter, Don't start or cause fires

NOTE: This series is a collaboration between ChaiThi2215 and Adventure_T
