Geocache Description:

Multi-cache hidden on a popular track leading to the Riwaka Resurgence and should only take 10-15 mins to complete.

Satellite coverage is poor due to tree cover and surrounding hills but head to above co-ords and find sign at Riwaka Resurgence/Crystal pool turn off. Here you will need to read the sign for the clues for the final cache site.
Final at S41 AB.FFC E172 ED.ACF
A= 2nd number in the amount of meters the water has fallen from the top of the Takaka hill.
B= A + 1
C= Amount of days it takes water to get through the hill.
D= Amount of kilometers water has travelled through the hill.
E= 1st number in the amount of years it takes marine deposites to be formed into limestone.
F= Number of letters in the 4th word of the signs "heading".
Now proceed to the final where satellite coverage should be good and is only a short walk away. Continue the walk to end of track after completing the cache as it is well worth the effort if you have not been here before.
Original contents-log book and pencil; trading items mainly kids toys.
