Geocache Description:

You'll need both land and/or sea transportion to get here-- but the journey and final location are the prize!cr

What with typhoons, tidal changes, monsoons and lots of small kids who beachcomb or fish nearby, this cache is tucked safely away where water and wind won't bother it.

The island this cache is located upon can only be reached by banca with this lat/long being a good spot to start walking from (N 11° 58.860 E 121° 54.508)if you come by banca. For an additional clue as to what to tell the banca pilot, see the cryptoclue. Once you've arrived on the island, you could also reach the cache location via wheeled transport, and a general heading along the only main road would bring you to this spot (N 11° 58.862 E 121° 54.594)and then a short walk down the steps.

While the cache is accessible any time of the year, the best times would be November to May. Once you reach the final location of the cache, simply ask one of the people in the building (Gemma, Zenny, Otik, or Julia--anyone) and wave your GPS. They'll direct you to the cache's location!

Note that you're on private property here but the owners have given me permission to place this there and they expect/wonder if anyone will come to their beautiful resort seeking this geocache 'thing'.``What with typhoons, tidal changes, monsoons and lots of small kids who beachcomb or fish nearby, this cache is tucked safely away where water and wind won't bother it.
