Geocache Description:

Located in the Montague Pass near George. Although this is an old pass with no tar, it is possible to get to the cache with a normal car.

The first point in this multi-stage cache will take you to the "Old Toll House", this building was built in 1847. In 1867 the toll-tariffs were: "Each wheel of a vehicle - two pence. Animal drawing vehicle - one penny. Animal not drawing a vehicle - two pence. Sheep, goat or pig - one halfpenny. All tolls were abolished on 31 December 1918.
What year was the pass oficially opened? ABCD

Sadly the building is rather run-down, so do be carefull when having a look around.
Now take your car to the following spot:
S(C-A)(B-1-C).5C.CAC
E022.2(A+C).AA0
At this spot the pass was officially opened. The story goes that at 9 o'clock on the 19th of January 1848 , a colourful procession departed from the George Town Hall. John Montague led the pageant on horseback, through a decorated triumphal arch. The honour of opening the pass fell to Mrs Geesje Bergh, wife of the former Civil Commissioner of George. She drove in her own wagon, accompanied by ten young ladies chastely dressed in white, and was met at this spot by Mr Montague.
How many posts are on the "Keur River Bridge"? C

Now leave your car in the marked parking spot and continue on foot to your final destination:
