Geocache Description:

A geocache originally placed by Ghost-train and adopted by me.

DIDO = Drive In Drive Out cache series

DIDO (West)
This idea for a cache was borrowed from the Aussies. The name stands for Drive In - Drive Out and as the name suggests, the caches are small (read micro), and easy to access. So it is really a drive by and helps add to your numbers if that’s what caching is to you. Often the area is a layby into or out of a town/city, or maybe an area of interest, such as a lookout. For this reason they are mostly high muggle areas, so some stealth is required. There are four caches roughly equating to the points of the compass giving you a trip around the lake. All are magnetic Eclipse tins.

Instructions:
Parking: The best approach to this cache is when heading north (away from Rotorua). There is a gravel area just after the Tarukenga Rail Overbridge. This is a busy section of highway, and road sense and caution must be exercised at all times.

The Cache: This is an easy retrieve. It is not big enough for anything other than the log, so you will need to bring your own pen/cil. Please do not move the cache anywhere other than from where you found it. The cache is invisible at 0 meters.
