Skippers Bridge (Otago) Queenstown-Lakes District, South Island, New Zealand
By central otago hilton on 11-Oct-18. Waypoint GC7YXPY

Only had a quick look as needed to get out as knew it was going to be an interesting trip out

Was only able to have a quick look no luck be worth checking by placer

What a cool spot. Spent a bit of time looking around at the sites before getting to the cache. Cool spot to introduce some muggles to our world of caching. Thanks

Loved the drive in here today, road a bit bouncy in places

We looked for this one but couldn't find it ... so had a picnic lunch nearby when a muggle walked past with it thinking it was a piece of trash (how he found it when we couldn't is anybody's guess) .... we rescued it from him, we showed him geocaching and then he showed us where he found it so it was returned

An amazing bridge crossing here, always a bit scary though. We stopped on the far side for a proper look, a photo& to find the cache. Mr Curzzz got it just as I'd managed the scramble up. Thanks for placing this cache in an awesome spot.

Thanks for the cache

Found by Jessie and Alex

On a very expensive 4WD tour I found this box.
Thanks a lot.

Took a bit of finding, more like two pronged dead shrub now. White stone on top.

No joy for us today! Hunted around for the cache for a bit but no luck today

Camped at the Skipper Canyon township for the night. We were the only ones there, what an amazing place!!

The bridge was very cool, amazing to think it was completed in 1901! I walked across it after our car as I was a bit anxious about how skinny it was.

Thanks anyway

Yes but if a scramble and had to look at previous comments. Thanks for hiding a cache in the skippers

Thanks that was a little bit tricky but we found it in the end read down the comments if you get a little bit stuck!!!

Hard d

Quick find
Thanks

Nice

Found it

I decided that I would test my limitations on driving up the Skippers Rd against a lot of advice asking me not to do it.
Well, here I am after 16 kms heart in mouth driving and luckily did not meet anyone coming towards me on the way in.

I searched both bases of the bridge plus a few of the nearby trees but all to no avail. Just read the CO's note saying it is at the base of a tree that splits into 3. Maybe this should be placed in the Hints section of the cache page.

Just spent 2.5 days in the Queenstown area. Love the area but not necessarily the town itself! Took a drive into Skippers Canyon today. Enjoyed the trip in and the scenery. Picked up three caches including this one. Great bridge but quite narrow to drive across! Took a minute or two of clambering around to locate this one! #3718. TFTC.

Took a few minutes to locate. Magnificent bridge. Cache all good. Tftc

We were up here today - with tag-along tours and this was a spontaneous cache - the best type. Glad to have found this one and I planted three others which I hope will be up soon! Such beautiful scenery - quite amazing. TFTC

Found it ️️

Nice historic spot. Found after a bit of a scramble. Photo of the log attached.

Cache is still in same spot. At base of tree that splits into three is an additional clue. Follow the geotrack. Is well away from any edge.

Looked every where not found

Great TFTC another heart

Can’t find this one is it still there ?

Yeeees!!! My first FTF! So glad for it! Thanks a lot to owner. Place is definitely amazing and respectful. Little bit complicated 4WD but we made it
