Mackenzie (Canterbury) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

BaldEd: Was in the area so I checked on the cache. Sad to report that the recent grass fire on the top of the Mackenzie Saddle has consumed the cache. Only the small stones that provided some cover to the cache were left to mark the location.
