Geocache doesn't grow on trees, or does it?



Being as bored as we were on day, my dear friend Alice and I decided to go Geocaching(look it up yourself) after knocking back going to the movies and ten-pin bowling. It was such a fine day to do such a thing, and we had much fun doing it. First we had to do a one hour return trip to Coolgardie to pick up a GPS unit and take note of some coordinates of the Geocaching sites. On our way to Coolgardie however, we came across a strange occurrence, Water, on the road. It was mid afternoon so any dew would have dried up long ago, it had not rained and it was far too much and far too remote to have been dripping off a recently washed vehicle, there was a light layer of the H20 on the road (only the road, the shoulders and surrounding areas were completely dry) for a good few kilometres. Completely unexplainable. After leaving Coolgardie we made our way to our first Geocache point, Lake Douglas. This was the most exciting of the 3 points as it was our first. We found it with relative ease and it had decent objects in the container (one of which being a zip disk, which I found rather intriguing, if I knew anyone who had ever had a zip drive then I would have voted we took that, but since I didn't we took a screwdriver). After taking out the screwdriver, I placed a yo-yo in the container; Alice wrote a message in the notebook and we returned to the car, but not before noticing the concrete path that goes around the lake ends abruptly for no reason, it just stops hundreds of metres before meeting up with the other end. I made a comment about it possibly being like Platform 9 and 3 quarters from Harry Potter, and that only magic folk could continue along the path.
The second point at Mt. Charlotte was uneventful as we could not find the container (we believe it had been removed). At the third site the GPS unit began going crazy, constantly changing direction and distance, so we had to check out every possible old thing (part of the clue) in the area. We eventually found the container in an old rusty pipe. It had pretty crap objects inside. Alice took the incense sticks and I cannot for the life of me remember what I put in it.
