N.B. As this is a very high muggle area, PLEASE be stealthy. If you can't retrieve and replace the cache without being seen, and you need the clue for the bonus cache, O = the second digit after Est. on the sign nearest to GZ. Please don't shorten the life of this placement by grabbing the cache regardless of who might be watching!
Ohinemuri River
Swing bridge, Karangahake Gorge
From time to time we travel this route between Tauranga and Auckland, sometimes returning the same day. We have got into the habit of stopping to find a cache or two as a good excuse to take a break from driving, and decided to place a few ourselves.
The co-ords will take you to a rest area with plenty of parking, picnic tables and public toilets. There are great views of the Ohinemuri River and a number of other caches to be found including the Hauraki Rail Trail series. Please be stealthy when retrieving and replacing the cache - it's a popular tourist area so there are likely to be lots of muggles around!
The cache only contains a log sheet and one of the clues you will need to locate the T2A-R: Auckland Bonus cache. There is no room for swaps or TB's, and you will need to bring your own pen.
October 2020: Cache replaced in new position, now a military match container. Coords and hint updated. Please tuck the cache back into place and cover with natural material when returning it to GZ.
FIRST TO FIND: funkymunkyzone & slieschke. Congratulations!
