Mitään sellaista sääntöä ei ole olemassa etteikö arkistoitua purkkia saa logata löydetyksi, jos sen tekijä on niin älykääpiö, ettei sitä sieltä saa pois haettua ja lokiin on nimimerkki saatu.

Tässä tapauksessa on tosin huomattava, että tekijä on joku kielivammainen svedupelle, joka arkistoi muinaisina aikoina läjän kätköjään vain siksi, että joku jossain yhteydessä erehtyi tuota lähinnä puhevammaa muistuttavaa mongerrusta kutsumaan "oudoksi kieleksi". Nekin purkit lienevät edelleen luontoa roskaamassa

Geocache Description:

Kätkö sijaitsee ammunta-alueella,mutta alueella liikkuminen on sallittua, kun ammuntoja ei ole. The cache is located on shooting training area of the Finnish Navy, but it is permitted to visit the area when there are no trainings going on.

Clipperton Island was originally discovered by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, but was later named after John Clipperton, an English pirate and privateer who fought the Spanish during the early eighteenth century and who used the island as a hidden base for his raids on shipping. In 1708, two French ships, 'La Princesse' and 'La Découverte', reached the island, named it 'Île de la Passion', and annexed it for the crown to France. The first scientific expedition took place in 1725 by the Frenchman M. Bocage, who lived on the island for several months. In April 1831, John Fitzgerald on his way to San Blas from Callao discovered an island at 18°30'N 114°33'W not shown on any chart. Information about the training times can be found from the link below. It's only in Finnish so if you are not sure about the times, don't hesitate to check those from the cache owner.
