GC2AZWN Yellowwood Road (Traditional Cache) in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa created by TechnoNut

This cache has been archived.

TechnoNut_Legacy: This cache was placd while I was still working the saltmine close by and could spy on finders from my office [:)]. Well, times change and I am no longer there.

Also, the original hide was taken out by a truck and the cache has been in a temporary hide since then. Sadly, it appears that the original sign hide is not going to be replaced, so I will archive this listing and open the area up for another cacher.

Geocache Description:

A quick and easy cache situated close to some lovely old yellowwood trees.

The trees which you can see are in the region of 130 years old and originally flanked the avenue leading to Coedmore Castle (now in the Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve).

More yellowwood trees exist to the north of this grove and line the road next to the cement works. The cement company has resolved to preserve these trees as a memento of bygone days.

The road continues to the south and crosses the Umhlatuzana River over a narrow bridge, with the weir that fed the water wheel driving the mill just upstream as you cross the bridge. Unfortunately the old mill has been completely destroyed by vandals, and all that remains is some Victorian brickwork.

In the suburb of Yellowwood park are many wonderful examples of yellowwood trees - this species was obviously a favourite of Kenneth Stainbank.

It is not necessary to enter the cement company property to retrieve the cache. Some stealth may be necessary as the nearby gate has 24 hour security. The cache can only take very small items such as coins.

Please replace the cache exactly as found.
