Africa can be a dangerous place, and I fear Zak has fallen victim to a hi-jacking, as often happens in SA.
Only the owner can help save Zak the Zebra from this prison, by solving the following clues to reveal the co-ordinates of ZZ. Once you have the co-ordinates solved, you will need to contact a local geocacher, and give him/her the co-ordinates to rescue Zak from his hiding place). Zak is being held at:
S AB° CD'EF
E GH° IJ'KL
A – I have hidden a fairly poetic cache with great views of Table Mountain over the bay. How many stones are “blocking the way” to the cache.
B – In May 2000, the Clinton Administration removed a GPS signal degradation called Select Availabilty. On what date in may after this was the 1st cache- precursor placed near Portland, Oregon?
CD - Impendulo ibhalwe nge siXhosa ukwenzela ikuphazamise ngama shumi amahlanu anesihlanu.
E – Last year I went to Thailand, where my lack of geocaching skills was evident. How many days did I stay in Railay – One of my favourite spots in the world?
F – One of my funniest cache entries I’ve seen was written by Toron, after finding the cache called “The tomb”, by Jim Beam & St. Pauli Girl . When he tried disastrously to get back to his car, how many feet high were the reeds and cattails?
GH – Your travel bug is currently being held prisoner close to robben island, where Nelson Mandela spent a lot of time in prison. How many years did he spend on Robben island? Interestingly, he was also born on GH July 19GH !!
IJ – Joseph Keller wrote a book called “catch IJ” – fill in the I and J.
KL – As ek Travel Bugs wil verkoop, en ek betaal $420.75, hoe veel Travel bugs sal ek kry? Ek koop die bugs vanaf die Groundspeak Online winkel en ek bekommer nie oor die postage nie.
Nota: Ainda há duas indicios que possa ser util. Sáo “88” e “Russell”
Please note that it is not my intention to keep the TB out of circulation, but rather to give the bug owner a bit of a challenge, and allow him the chance to get involved in helping his bug on the way. I will be glad to assist with any clues if needed, and if the owner cannot or will not help his TB, I will be glad to release Zak at the owners request.
Also, once you have the co-ords, rather run them by me first before sending anyone on a wild goose chase.
Good Luck
