Description

Simple cache.

The Plenty Link Rd, dubbed the Southern Explorer, is about 40km long and connects the Glenfern and Glenora roads intersection on the outskirts of New Norfolk with Lonnavale Rd near Judbury In the Huon Valley. It was intended to provide a valuable tourism link for both regions but was found to be unfeasible in a report by consulting company Jacobs Australia in May 2015. Today it is mainly used by locals, log trucks and wood hookers. There are some amazing views of the surrounding hills and mountains as you traverse this link, and don't miss a stop at the wild rivers that flow under narrow one lane bridges along the way.

Thanks for the cache stainless-steel-rat. Out today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. Neither of us had ever driven along this road before, so it was all a new experience for us (the GeoGSP is not allowed to drive, but he is very good putting his head out of the wind with his tongue hanging out Very Happy ). A nice easy one. We were passed by a couple of cars in the short time we pulled over to grab this one, which pretty much set the pattern for the rest of the day - there is certainly a bit of traffic on this road. Cheers.

Hello stainless-steel-rat thanks for the cache.

I had been to a moist event at Franklin and was planing on coming back home this was so when I heard GooseandEgg, stainless-steel-rat and Toolman were also coming home this way I tagged along for the trip.
As the trip continued this cache was eleventh to be found.

TFTC.

It was pretty cool by the time we arrived here but at least it was clear and we could see the views. 1toolman nearly flew off the edge of the road down into the abyss (his mother would have killed me if he did). It took a minute or so until Alby found this one. Thats the last one for me on this road. I have enjoyed this trip both times.

Arriving mid afternoon we thought we might have time to find half the new hides along the road but after a longish search we felt this may not be possible. We thought we remembered this road from some years ago but it appears to have had some work done on it since our last visit and didn't appear to be as rocky and uneven.

We enjoyed having a safe place to pull off the road and a quick find due to good coordinates and a useful hint. We must be following Whitewebbs around.

Container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this cache Stainless-Steel-Rat.

Hey weren't we on this road we have never been all the way through from South to North on Saturday? Today we decided to travel North to South, another 200 km round trip to find more newly published caches and this was the first on our list. Accurate coords and hint led to a cool sized cache container. All these great caches to find on the Plenty Link Road now. There was more traffic being a work day, especially closer to Huonville where there were roadworks. TFTC

Hi stainless
Had received notice that one of my caches may have gone so went to check on it today - all fixed now
However, the truth is - some new caches were available and the temptation was too great!
Any way, got to and logged this one at...
Sainted at 1139 hours with a quick find.
Loved the views especially with some "GERRY" around
Must get some of those tubes
Clean sheet for a *FTF* - thank you
TFTC, and cheers
