The Disney/Pixar ® Movie “Cars” inspired us to call
this cache “The Piston Cup”. The location of the cache
is at a “Car” themed restaurant / bar in the heart of
the Cradle of Humankind. It truly is an amazing place, often used
by car clubs to display their vehicles or motorbikes on the First
Floor or on the grounds. Most of the activity is over the
weekend.
I would consider this venue as a “best kept
Secret” of the Magaliesberg. As in the “Cars”
movie, the property is decorated with old interesting automotive
parts and artefacts. The collection is impressive to see and
cleverly displayed. The owners are extremely proud of their
collection and will gladly show you around. Ask them for their
photo album!
There are two awesome areas for the kids to play. On the one
side there is a sandpit and old car (a real one) which still has a
working steering wheel. This area is in good view from the
deck/patio. On the other side are tyres and other goodies to make
it fun and challenging.
The published coordinates are the closest we could get before
the “cover” starts. Please read the hints so you know
were to look. Don’t attract muggle attention to yourself as
the venue could be very busy, and you may compromise the cache. The
owners Debbie and Willem Prinsloo know of the cache, but
won’t help you. At the time of our last maintenance visit to
this cache, the staff also know of the cache. So when you get there
please let them know that you are geocachers looking for the cache.
If the staff member does not know what you are talking about,
please ask to speak to Debbie. There is no need to purchase
anything, unless of course you do actually want to get something of
your own free will.
Come and discover this gem while you look for the cache. Please
Note: Open from Wednesday to Sundays (breakfast and lunches) ONLY!
On occasion they have a craft market on a Saturday.
Please no spoiler photographs - We don't want to spoil the
challenge for the next geocacher.
