Geocache Description:

This cache is part of an International Geocache Exchange. The original contents of the cache was received from "BigRedMed" and friends from Nebraska and Iowa.

The cache is in the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve in the southern suburbs of Johannesburg. See cache Klipriviersberg NR for some history and other information on the reserve. This cache has a bit of a strenuous walk at the end, so I will suggest you pack in some water or any of your favourite liquid refreshments and enjoy the view from the cache site.

There is a path (crossing the river close to the cache) leading to within about 100 metres from the cache. The last part of the cache is a bit of bundu bashing, as the paths in this area has now been overgrown.

Parking is at: S 26 16.970 E 28 00.578
Note: When parking at this entrance, entrance is for free. Access times are from 08:00 to 18:00 daily.

The cache is in a white 5 litre container wrapped in a black plastic bag and at start is filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies from Nebraska and Iowa.

NOTE: The container is fairly full so take generously, but remember, be just as generous when you put back in.

Two Travel Bugs.
