Kudukuppe Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ROTSIP: This cache appears to be gone. As there has been no cache to find for months, and it seems unlikely that it will be replaced soon because the CO has been inactive for almost 2 years, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email, quoting the GC number), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Thanks for the past fun.

Geocache Description:

Near Windhoek with a nice view to the Auas Mountains

To the south of Windhoek, a few hills are located. The highest of these is called "Kleine Kuppe". On the west of Kleine Kuppe, nearest to Cimbebasia, is another hill. It has no name, but as Kudus are often seen there, we call it "Kudukuppe"

The cache is not very easily reached. There is no path up and at some places, overgrowth is very tight. If you go with little childen: beware: it is quite steep at the cache (but not really very dangerous)

We placed into the cache the following:

Log book, pencil, geocache note -> Please leave!

Voucher, cell phone holder, toy army car, noodle angle (it was Christmas after all!), Lego figure, balloons, mouse pad

Small note on cache maintenance: Local geocacher OuMensie will assist with any needed maintenance.

Well, the baboons were very interested in this cache. My mother (OuMensie) and the rest of the family installed a new, (hopefully) baboon-safe cache. It is now in a metal box, painted brown. The box is hatched to a tree with a steel wire rope. The box is closed with a key ring. (There is a spare key ring in the box. Please leave it there, if it is not needed.) Furthermore, the box is protected by a plastic snake. Please do not be afraid and please leave the snake at its place. It is an old "boere raat" to put a plastic snake at a place to keep baboons away.
