Geocache Description:

This cache replaces one at almost the same location that went AWOL earlier this year.

You will either be blown away by the fabulous view over Lake Rotoiti to the north and the Robert Ridge to the south, or you will be blown away by the wind, or perhaps both. Either way, it's a great place to be - not at work, not at home doing jobs, not doing whatever you might otherwise be doing - but up on a wonderful mountain savouring one of God's best panoramas.
	You might even be lucky enough to be dive bombed by a glider as the pilot swoops down the Robert Ridge. He/she will have an enormous grin while you duck for cover - it looks much lower than it really is Please place back where you found it with weight equipment securely in place, to prevent keas from getting to it (that's the likely cause of the previous cache's demise). Remember - this is an alpine environment where the weather can change quickly. Always take warm clothing with you and be prepared for very cold temperatures and strong winds.
