As I just arrived today in South Africa I took the chance that I had the rest of the day free to search for some geocaches. This nice small Wherigo was the first one. All stages were good to find so it went pretty smooth. Only the questions before the final coordinates took a while till I had all the correct answers. The final container was again a quick find.

Used the pubic holiday to find some new caches and learn some South African history. Our first attempt at a Wherigo - thoroughly enjoyed once we got the hang of it!

This WIG was no easy task for me.
The first WIG, done by ourself, and my english is not really the best.
Because of this, FüütMann has had much to laugh, while i was fighting with the GPS and reading the story.
But at least we found the Voortrekker Treasure!
Thank you
