This cache has been placed near Buchanan’s Bridge. The location of Valla Road before it got deviated in 1983 by a 4.3 km, $ 3 million dollar project was originally the Old Pacific Highway. The Deep Creek Deviation consisted of elimination of several sharp curves, two timber bridges and a lengthy flood-prone section of road at Deep Creek. To achieve flood immunity, the highway was relocated onto higher ground and the new bridge over Deep Creek was constructed 2m above the highest recorded flood level. This is the second of two bridges which got bypassed by the Deep Creek Deviation.
Cache container is a black pill container at shoulder height.
Hope you enjoy some of the scenery on this trail.
