Around The Twist

Monday 18 June 2012

The cache “Around The Twist” had us a bit frustrated, because others had found it quite quickly and yet even on this return visit we did not stumble on it for several minutes.   On our first visit we hunted around where the GPS told us was and the closest we got to seeing anything likely was a single light coloured rock.  Peter turned it over and declared that it was in fact a real rock and with not much time available we had to cease searching and head off to collect our granddaughter.  
After study the logs and seeing people still easily finding it, we thought that our return visit this time would be a cinch.  That rock looked out of place and we felt fitted the clue, so Peter again examined it, more closely this time.  He thought there may be a fake rock with a hidden opening or perhaps a real one that lifted apart.   But no it really was a real and solid rock, even though it was where the GPS pointed.
We had our granddaughter, Ella, with us and the three of us went all about the spot, then Peter went off to the swampy area to look at a bit of wood and turned around and spotted the hiding place; a mere 2 metres from where our rock  was, but no one had spotted it. 
We had just about given up too, so the cache name is very appropriate it nearly sent us around the twist.
