Havin seen this cache just before starting my drive from Isparta to Antalya, I thought it would be just a short detour and a scenic place to visit. And I love climbing and hiking, which would be a bonus in this case, too...

Finding the correct road took some doing, even talking turkish, had to ask a few locals to find the correct road to the parking place. After that, just having started climbing, I received a call from my relatives that I should better hurry up because they were waiting for me with dinner. And they were not in the least bit understanding that I would arrive quite late just because I wanted to see some rocks somewhere

Climbing upwards, I encountered two goat herds, which I could easily navigate around, but then two dogs saw me and started barking... Believe me, nothing is scarier than being on a quite steep mountainside, no possibility to run away and no possibility to scare those animals away... Not even wild pigs in the forests of germany, at least, there I was on even ground and could slowly back away

Having slowly went sideways and found another way to the top, I took some minutes to enjoy the really breath taking view. After that, I started turning literally every rock around and hunting below every tree to find the cache, all the while cursing to myself that I left my pens in the car and had nothing to write with. I tought that I could at least make a photo of the cache to convince omaggo that I had really been there.

As the sun started setting, I gave up and starting climbing down, so I could be safely at the car before it gets dark (remember those two dogs I wrote about?), thinking it would have been nice if the owner would have written some hints into the description for those of us who did not think of memorizing the spoiler pictures and had no mobile internet access to download them at the top of the mountain (note to self: print out the pictures next time)

So what do I log?

First To Be There At The Location Of The Cache?

First To Find, because it won't be found for a long time?

First To Fail, because I did not memorize the location?

Confused, but nevertheless happy having made the climb to the top,
Hakan
