Rakaia River (Ashburton, Canterbury) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Nemesis: Checked on the cache today. I found the rocks, but there was no sign of the cache anywhere. [:(] It looks like it has been intentionally taken, probably by someone who stumbled over it by accident. That is surprising, as it was hidden in the middle of a gorse bush, far away from the road. Thanks to all of you that visited it. Cheers, Donovan.
