Flower Box II; The Difficult Twin Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Tartan_Terror: Sadly this is better off archived now that the flower box has broken off the top allowing a be colony to move into the structure. This cache is no longer viable and it is with a heavy heart that I decided to archive this T5 cache.
Thanks to all the cachers who took the effort to get the smiley.

Geocache Description:

The quiet twin "Flowerbox" GC2DTNK (Click here to view) has been listed 6 weeks before the difficult twin emerged.

This cache is easy to find in an obvious place, but unlike the quiet twin, this twin demands special tools to rise to the occasion. Jacob had a dream about such an article.


Rectangular plastic 2 litre ice cream container hidden approximately 5m above ground. The container is cleverly placed on a small shelf.

Your tools should include a ladder, just like the one that Jacob dreamt about. Make sure it is long and sturdy, the ground is not entirely level. With a lot of improvising you may be able to retrieve without a ladder. The cache owner has improvised a long "Captain Hook" tool for maintenance retrievals.

IF CACHING IN THE DARK PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO FALL INTO THE HOLES NEXT TO THE FENCE BETWEEN THE POLE AND DELMAS ROAD (R50).

DO NOT ATTEMPT IN STORM CONDITIONS (wind &/or lightning)

With this cache Stealth is difficult, so rather plan a sound "cover story" in case you are challenged.

This cache has a Terrain Rating of 5, so in order to be fair toward our fellow cachers who are willing to do whatever is necessary to retrieve the cache, you too need to sign the physical log before you can log it as "Found". Failure to adhere to this Groundspeak requirement will result in deletion of any such online log in accordance with the rules of the game.

The cache is on the lower shelf of a double-deck shelf, specially constructed so that the vandalisitc bird can still build a nest without compromising my cache. Good luck and don't fall!
