Peter Gorus (Canterbury) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ruru_nz: It looks like this cache (my first published) has come to the end of its life.
Maintaining now I've moved 8 hours south is problematic.

Should anyone find the original container, which does drift, please remove as now the cache is archived the container is no longer a game piece - it is rubbish.

Found logs from now on will be removed.

Thanks to all who have found is over the years.

During winter the ground cover is less than I would have liked, please replace carefully.
Reception may be affected by the large tree.

I could have submitted this cache after my 100th find, or my 121st find but finally did it after my 144th find.
The decimal minutes of the dummy co-ordinates may also give you a clue.
