The Drain (Central Otago) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

status quo: As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

Geocache Description:

Located below the road in the Cromwell Gorge. An easy cache which you can drive almost right to.

The cache is a 1.14 litre camo painted snap lock container hidden at ground level and not visible from any distance.
It is adjacent to one of the many large drainage tunnels driven into the hill sides on both sides of the lake to drain potential land slide areas in an effort to stabilise the land. There was a huge amount of work done prior to filling the adacent dam to avoid disasterous slips sliding into the lake.
For more information on this work visit the Cromwell Information Centre in the Mall at Cromwell.
