Geocache Description:


ESPAGNOL

USHUAIA MIRADA DE ARRIBA (TB HOTEL)

La ubicación de la caché es el páramo por debajo de la carretera que conduce al Aeropuerto Internacional Malvinas Argentina.

Está fuera del recinto aeroportuario y aparcamientos y invisible de estos.

El sitio de caché es de 28 metros sobre el nivel del mar y cuenta con excelentes vistas de la ciudad de Ushuaia.

Es un tarro de cacao de plástico, lo suficientemente grande como para servir como una escala para la mayoría de las TB y geocoins,

Estoy muy agradecido de hecho a kariher y perrocastor tanto para comprometerse a actuar como "asistentes locales" para ayudarme a mantener este caché mantiene si esto fuera necesario.

ENGLISH

USHUAIA OVERLOOKED (TB HOTEL)

The cache location is on wasteland below the road that leads to the Malvinas Argentina International Airport.  

It is outside the airport grounds and car parks and invisible from these.

The cache site is 28 metres above sea level and has excellent views over the city of Ushuaia. 

It is large enough to serve as a stopover for most TB's and geocoins, especially those that want to enter or leave South America, BUT .........
it has gone missing on more than one occasion! So I'm not sure about leaving trackables!! Many of the ones listed as being here are probably missing

I AM VERY GRATEFUL to the following people for helping to keep the cache going:-
KARIHER and PERROCASTOR for both agreeing to act as "local assistants" to help me keep this cache maintained should this become necessary and thus enabling it to be listed However, as neither of them is really a 'local' I have had to ask / rely on others to keep the cache going, including
"PATRONEMAX" for placing a log sheet in a polybag to keep the cache going when it disappeared in October 2017
"GEO KISSALA" (Leo & Jaana) for putting a proper replacement box in situ in February 2018
LEJ777 for doing so again in October 2018. Alas by 8 January 2019 this too had disappeared and there was only a log sheet inside a double ziplock bag left at GZ
AZIMUTH55 & XANTOPHILA for putting in fresh sheets of paper to replace wet logs
RIKSMANN who replaced the plastic ziplock bag with a more permanent makeshift container.
"STORM_HELLSCREAM" put a proper container and log book in place in June 2019 - almost Midwinter's Day down there!
TDREX (Tom) for putting a metal biscuit box in place in December 2019
Alas all this seems to have disappeared sometime over Christmas 2022 and I am extremely grateful to ROUTE66WK for putting a new cache container & log in place in January 2023 and for CHRINIL for adding extra protection in the form of a plastic bag.
Then in March 2023 COMETCOACH (MIKE) put a clear waterproof bottle / medication jar in place together with a log & a few pieces of swag. Hopefully this will keep the Reviewers at bay for a year or so!

However, in September 2023 yami828 was passing and noticed the hide that they'd found a year ago was empty so they put something in situ for people to find. Maybe there are now 2 caches?!

MY GRATEFUL THANKS TO ALL THESE KIND PEOPLE. OUR GAME WOULD BE FAR LESS FUN IF IT WERE NOT FOR WHITE KNIGHTS OF GEOCACHING SUCH AS THESE KEEPING CACHES ALIVE IN FAR-FLUNG CORNERS OF THE WORLD. I AM REALLY VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOUR HELP .

Also pleased to see from the photos that the place still looks fabulous
