Troumble with Trimbbles (Canterbury) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Bear_Left: All good things must come to an end, and a cache in a sign when the sign is gone is no cache at all.

For those who never found it, the Trimbles sign used to have a set of coords on it, to a ridiculous number of digits. Enough that continental drift had probably altered the last digit, let alone what the quakes might've done to it!

Thanks to the finders who wrote nice things, and to the helpful folks who replaced it and the logs a couple of times on our behalf.

Geocache Description:

Got GPSr?

These are the most accurate coordinates you will ever find for a geocache!

(It's actually S 43° 32' 41.41" E 172° 35' 30.89")

Please do not attempt this cache in business hours as it's a very public place with nowhere to go to fill in the log. You will look suspicious and probably cause someone to see what you were doing and possibly move or remove the cache.

The cache is one of those magnetic key holders, and thus contains no swaps, only the stashnote and small log pages. Fill in your log and move it to the bottom of the pile, and leave the laminated stashnote on top.

(Why is '1' the lowest difficulty rating available? 8-)} )
