My 4th geocache find! Magical Moss, GCW3Y3. (Pictures below).
Woke up early this morning, had breakfast (prata) at Peirce Reservoir before being ferried by my father to this one.
Alighting, GPS ready, walked and found the first clue "ODD is RIGHT".
Clue 1: ''ODD is RIGHT'':
Walked past 300m till no sign of anything. Saw this car creeping up behind me... Anxious, I gripped my knife tighter... The car pulled up beside me, and wound down its window. Lo and behold, it was Zeng,another fellow geocacher looking to claim a First-To-Find (FTF)!
He then guided me towards the 2nd clue (8 guardians).
One of the eight ''guardians'':
What a long way off I was! Both of us searched around for the clue. Finally, Zeng found it! I must comment what an interesting way of hiding it. I never expected it to be hidden like that.
Metal tag hidden in one of the holes:
GPS Coordinates written on the hidden metal tag:
Taking the coordinates down, Zeng gave me a ride to the GZ (thankfully its not MacRitchie or Nee Soon Camp) and we began searching.
Ground Zone (GZ):
Moss eh? Searched for a long time, with Zeng advising a newbie like me that I shouldn't stick my hands into leaves without using a stick,lest I get bitten by a snake... After a period of searching, I found it! The cache was actually hidden in one of the moss covered roots of the huge tree and a ring on a moss was the ''door to the cache''. Both of us signed the log, Zeng first.
Cache hiding area:
Cache with ''door'':
Cache exposed:
Nice way to hide a cache. Not many mosquitoes though. Got one on my ankle.
Co-STF(second to find) with Zeng but must admit would not have found it without Zeng's car lift and help.
Picture of Zeng and me:
Took: Light thingy
Left: Cola figurine
Cache contents:
My first multi-cache too! :)
Picture of me at GZ (in perspiration after a long walk and hunt):
