______ALOE CREST______
The cache is NOT located at the above listed
coordinates!
This is a quick
roadside cache located on an alternative route from Centurion to
Harties. The gravel road is in a very good condition (maybe a bit
muddy after heavy rains) and all vehicles should be able to access
the cache without any trouble.
It is recommended that
you approach the cache from Centurion
(S25 50.424 E28 02.600) to make the most of the views.
When retrieving the
cache take a moment to appreciate the aloes and their unique little
habitat. Special care should be taken not to trample on them. Also
take note exactly how you retrieved the cache from its hiding
place, and replace it in the same manner.
