Orange River Bridges Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Tugelaklip: Sad to say, I feel that it would only be appropreate to Archive this cache. reasons being that I am no longer able to maintain the site as the property has changed owners and do not kow when i will get round to that area soon. As far as I know, the cache container is no longer in its hiding place, so there is no littreing done. Hopefulle one of the "more local" cachers will revive that spot.
