This is no 3 in the "Tonteldoos" series and contains one of the 18
clues to the final cache in the series to be placed in
2009.
There are 18 Tonteldoos Caches all over South Africa and in every
one you will find a clue in the sense of the name of a well known
Afrikaner/Boer. These clues are to be gathered and during the
Easter weekend of 2009, in the small town Tonteldoos, Mpumalanga,
South Africa, every person who writes in as participant, will
receive a code deciphering the clues. The code will give the
coordinates of the Great Cache, which will be hidden in the
vicinity of Tonteldoos. Further information at

Please replace the cache
EXACTLY where found. No stones is needed in the hiding of this
cache!
This cache is situated on a farm outside Rustenburg. The owner gave
permission for the cache, but visitors should please just report on
arrival that they are part of geocaching. The farm was inherited
by, the then 16 year old boy, Paul Kruger. He resided on this farm
for 27 years and had 17 children here. The rooms are now all named
after his wife and daughters. The 3 rooms of the old out buildings
all have the names of his wife. Inside, the original wall can still
be seen as it was at that time. The farm is full of bird life and
throughout the year 112 different bird species can be seen here.
The daughter of the owner is full of stories about this farm, so be
sure to have a chat with Francis. The way point provided is the
turn-off to the farm. Some maths is required for the final way
point. If you are standing in front of the main house (on the
kitchen side) the old out building is in front of you. There are 3
rooms with different names. View them from left to right. Left =
1st, middle = 2nd and right = 3rd. Assuming that A=1, B=2 Z=26,
work out the following. S25° 44.AAA' E27° 16.BBB' Where AAA is (87x
the first letter of the 1st room) and BBB is ((the sum of the
first, third, fifth and the sixth letter of the 2nd room)+37)x the
fifth letter of the 3rd room Mind the brackets !
