Geocache Description:

A test of your luck as a geocacher, set in the beautiful Cheam Lake Wetlands regional park.


The cache consists of 4 identical 3 pound coffee cans, painted flat black.

Three of these are decoys, filled with ballast. One is the cache you are looking for. The above coordinates should find you standing in the middle of a copse of cedar trees. There are old rotting stumps and roots everywhere.
(Lots of hiding places!)

This copse of trees is about 30 metres in diameter. The cache and decoys are all hidden within this copse of trees, so no need to bushwack!

Please record how many false alarms (decoys) you
found before you found the cache, both in the log book
and on the web log.

Please take a certificate only if you are entitled to one.

Cert #1: First to find. Goes to the first finder
regardless of circumstances.

Cert #2: First to find first. Goes to the finder who
first finds the cache in the first try.
(obviously born with horseshoes you-know-where)

Cert #3: First to find last. Goes to the unfortunate soul
who first finds all three decoys before the
real cache.(Should abandon all hope of
EVER winning the lottery!)

(So you see it is possible for the first finder to get two certificates!)

Here's how you will be rated for luck:

Finding the cache on the first try: Buy a lottery
ticket, quick!

One decoy, then the cache: You're pretty lucky there!

Two decoys, then the cache: well at least your luck
isn't completely rotten.

All the decoys: Abandon all hope!

As usual, please replace all caches back where you found
them and ensure that they are well covered to prevent
accidental discovery.

Superbike 2000 CD-ROM
Star Wars Rebel Assault II CD-ROM
