I have placed this cache here because the location bears special
significance to me.
Ever since I was a young child this photograph has hung on the
wall at our house
This photograph is of the Makohine Viaduct in 1902.
It was taken by a world famous panoramic photographer named
Melvin Vaniman.Vaniman is famous for being an "Acrobatic
Photographer."
He often photographed from hot air balloons, ships mast's, tall
buildings and even a home made 30m wooden pole.
The first train crossed the Makohine Viaduct on the 9th of June
in 1902.
Ever since construction the Viaduct has been an icon for both
train and car travelers.
This picture has been passed down from my mothers side from my
at least my great grandfather.
When I was a young child, this photograph always seemed special
to me, and whenever we would drive by, my dad would always point
out the Viaduct to us.
Now, I feel as well as being special to me, it also presents a
historic record of the area, we can see where the road and rivers
went as well as what the landscape was like at the time.
The cache is a 400ml camo sistema that is hidden at the end of
the field, so creek hopping may be needed
Please shut the gate behind
you!
Have fun while taking in the beauty of this structure!
