Why "Bloody Foot"? On our way to place the cache at the Pontok
Berge in the morning, I stepped into a Camel Thorn thorn. It went
through the heel and sole of my shoe, through the skin and flesh of
my foot and was only stopped by the bone. It was VERY painful. Of
course I could not take the shoe of with the thorn in it and my
foot. My friend pulled out the thorn (also very painful). When I
took off my shoe, my whole foot was covered with blood. The shoe
was, of course, bloody as well. Well, we washed the foot, put on a
plaster and went back to camp to disinfect etc. Only in the evening
we went back and placed the cache.
The cache is not so easily reached, but when my mother, my
brother and his kids were testing the cache the next day, all
reached the cache. Okay, they are all outdoor types. You need good
shoes!
When we placed it, the accuracy of our GPS wasn't very good. But
the next day my brother had an accuracy of 1 meter and it was dead
on the cache. If you have problems with accuracy, read the
hints.
The cache is near a natural rock terrace beneath a very
beautiful Cyphostemma (Kobas, Botterboom) tree. There is even a
natural park bench provided, where you can sit down and enjoy the
view.
We put into the cache (a two liter Ice Cream container in a
plastic bag):
Log Book, Pencil, Geocache-Readme
(please do not take them)
Marble, Balloon, Cough Drops, Sea Shell
