In the Buf

Brahms6 found this one on 11th December 2010, 40th find.

What a challenge we were on a road trip and didn't want to spend to much time on each cache but this one took us a long 40 minutes.

First off there was a puzzle to solve to get the coordinates. The puzzle involved walking around an exercise circuit in the scrub gardens. This was OK I resisted the temptation to try out the actual exercise apparatus and quickly got the coordinates except for the last one.

The instruction said the last one was "OBVIOUS" well not to me. I tried the obvious digit and headed off to where the GPS pointed me. This was a 500 metre walk to discover the GZ was in the middle of a creek (wrong obvious digit).

I went back to the beginning and Mrs Brahms6 suggested another obvious digit, another 500 metre walk to a creek wrong obvious digit again.

We thought we had spent enough time on this one so we got in the car to head off, got 100 meters up the road and thought we can't give up lets retrace all the digits.

Obvious was not obvious so we thought "we have already tried two there are only eight left lets try them all" we picked one at random and this took us straight to what was the obvious spot. There was our treasure whoo hoo, hard work but worth it.

There is a life lesson there "what is obvious to others is not to you therefore what is obvious to you is not to others"

Signed the log.

Thanks for a great hunt.
