This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, 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 unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


The Esplanade
(Combo #3)

This cache is located at a great and sometimes busy spot along the esplanade. Nearby you can find plenty of picnic tables, BBQ facilities and toilets, as well as short access to the beach.

This cache is a cache in its own right and you can hunt it down and simply fill out the log book like any other. You will need to use a lot of stealth in locating this cache at most times of the day. Please take care to find the cache and replace it, without compromising its location.

For the one’s that want an extra challenge, it has also been set up as a combination cache in conjunction with three other caches in the area. When you find all four caches and unravel the clues, it will lead you to a fifth mystery cache.

Going for the combination?

This combination involves the following caches:

King of the Jungle (Combo #1) - GCXNVH
A View to Remember (Combo #2) - GCXNVQ
The Esplanade (Combo #3) - GCXNVR
Wharf View (Combo #4) - GCXNVW
The Cheesecake - GCXNVY

To reach the mystery cache (The Cheesecake) you must first visit each of the four Combo caches, collect the clues and discover the coordinates. I highly recommend finding the four Combo caches in order, however it would be possible to do it jumbled, although more difficult.

You will need to find the first two clues before heading to this one. The Combo Clue for this cache is located in the cache container. Please ensure you don’t take the clue with you and place it back in the container for the next hunter.

Find the clue at this cache and you’re ready to collect your fourth clue at - Wharf View (Combo #4).
