Creek Shrub

Within an easy and pleasant 300m walk from Diving’s Prohibited was our next GZ – Creek Shrub.

I’m going to list this find in our “Bad Experiences” category too – not because of anything about the cache – it’s a great cache, in a great location – but for the fact we left one of our GPS devices behind at the site – and we didn’t even realise it until the next day. I’ll write some more about that in another post soon.

Creek Shrub is located in the same string of waterfront parks as Diving’s Prohibited – although this cache is a little larger, given the better opportunities in this location to hide a slightly larger cache.

We were thrown off a little by our GPS at first. The clues for this cache mentioned a tree stump, and ironically our GPS guided us directly to such a stump.

We were convinced this HAD to be the stump – after all, the GPS units were pinpointing it. But as is the case with GPS – you can’t always trust it, and sure enough GZ soon moved a little closer to the real stump we were looking for, and after a brief forage, we located the cache.

This was a great little find, we signed the book, left a Pokemon Hypno card, and we took a Travel Bug.  We also left our Mio in-car GPS navigator on the ground when we left… but that’s another story.
