Grysbok Trail - Mountain Tortoise Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

About the Mountain Tortoise:

This is the largest tortoise in southern Africa, and it can achieve lengths of 72 cm and weigh 40 kg. It feeds on grass, shrubs and succulents, but may gnaw on bones to obtain sufficient calcium for its shell. They have a large home range (1-2 square km) and will defend it vigorously.
