Jungle ESEE Buried Treasure

[expatriated]

Jumpin' Jehosophat in the Monkey House! Thank the good Lord, Expat has survived yet another one.

Get out your phrasebooks and Pith helmets cause it's on, boys. Here are your coordinates:

Here's a visual clue:







Due to the sensitivity of certain border guards, the decision was made to forego the suspicious, unopenable tube and simply bury the following (sort of an immediate gratification thing too-- for you generation y-ers):






Your letter will be inside the kit.

On a related note, my trusty old RC-3, with thousands of miles on it already was my constant companion throughout the trip. The sharpened pommel makes a darn good bottle opener once you get the technique down, too. The ESEE jet performed flawlessly as well. I'm getting used to this kind of travel. No need to get felt up at Uncle Touchy's Puzzle Basement, aka: TSA.

Buena Suerte, ya'll!!!!

I give up. Is this in the Sahara desert?

Rub al Khali.

I was there selling the Beduin car doors. They put them on their camels so they can roll down the windows when they get hot.

I thought that terrain looked familiar!

Panama?

No one found this over the weekend? Haha

I looked at the map, but with gas at $3.70ish a gallon and it being just a bit under 2K miles as the crow flies, I decided to skip it. Plus there's those little ponds I'd have to take the canoe across..

Well, if you're closer to E. Europe, the ESEE crew will be hiding one there in the next week or two. Whenever Jeff can get this jet repaired. What a jalopy!

Jet is good to go. Found a used water pump off a '62 ford that we had pasturized here on the farm. Had to drill out the body and add one more hole but it fit up fine. Just be sure to check the water after you get to Europe. Noticed I had one small drip so I squirted a can of fix-a-flat in the radiator. That should do it. Fingers crossed.

What? you mean the jungle tube has not been found yet? Hell, I can clearly see it in the photo. This one is EASY!
