Rushing Water Hidden Box
I think this may provide an interesting contrast to Sutton Salt
Lake :) Take the turnoff near Outram to the Outram Glen and Museum.
A good place to park is at the museum carpark (S45º 51.097' E170º
14.212'). Take the start of the walking track (Whare Track I
believe) and keep following it until you get near the clearing and
the rushing water (S45º 50.809' E170º 13.993'). Instead of going
down to the clearing, carry on towards the more overgrown trail and
cross the small tributary into the ferns. You are within about 25m
of the cache now :) Good Luck.
This is a letterboxing hybrid. The idea is that you take a
notebook to caches you visit, and perhaps your own stamp and ink
pad. There is also a stamp and ink pad in the cache. You use the
caches stamp in your logbook, and stamp your stamp in the caches
logbook. The ink pads and stamps are not exchanged. This way you
build up your own logbook or passport of caches you have
visited.
Sorry there is not much loot in the cache. It was all I had in
the car. This cache didn't have a lot of planning beforehand :) I
will make amends next time I return south!
Overall Difficulty: The cache is visible from 5m at the
proper angles. It is about a 15 minute walk from the car park. GPS
Coverage has been better.
Terrain Difficulty: Relatively easy, slightly undulating
to get to the clearing. The terrain is quite steep and possibly
slippery around the cache.
Container: The container is a 2.6L snap-lock rectangular
container that has been camo-painted, and has the word GEOCACHE
painted on the top in yellow.
