Geocaching – Elephanta Caves (GCRVP9)

I went to Elephanta Caves this weekend to look for a cache hidden there.
Gateway of India

After a ferry ride, a rattling train jourey & an hour of fighting flies and thorny bushes, I found the cache. You are supposed to add something to it, take something from it, make an entry into the log and put it back.
The Geocache

This cache was here since 1.5 yrs, but no one had seeked it so far. However, it turned out to be a rush for "First To Find (FTF)" that day.
I found it at 12:20
Someone else found it on the same day at 14:10
Someone else found it yet again on the same day at 17:00
Quite a coincidence.

Daniel
That’s Daniel (from Sweden). I saw him on the way down; didn’t know he was on his way up in search of the same thing I had found an hour ago and hidden back.

Later in the day, this gentleman found it:
Fennster
His name is Fennster (from US)

This guy hid the cache to begin with:
Ralf
Ralf
He is Ralf from Germany. He geocaches very professionally.

It’s a small world after all.

You can visit this link to see the web-record of all that transpired.

This is the rattling train that covers the 1km jetty.

Spoiler pictures and GPS tracks will be put up shortly.
