By farmer2some on 23-Oct-09. Waypoint GC206DE

Spent about 20mins in the harrowing wind and could not find it with joav30. Nice piece of history, but looked over, used hints, comments from others and no luvk finding it, maybe no more...

so many dnf and as we are unable to get there and check have decided to archive

Looked in bitter cold for 15 mins with nickez23 & could not find

Looked for 30 minutes ciuldnt find it with three people looking

Anyone know another hint for it?,
Spent well over half an hour looking?

Plenty of looking but no luck

Had four pairs of eyes looking and had no find

Despite a thorough search could not find this one.

tftc, not where hint suggested tho

We gave up after half an hour and looked everywhere!!

TFTC. Not where hint suggests. Got it RIGHT in the end.

Quick find with no problems. TFTC

Took a bit to find this one… got there in the end.

Bit of a search in the rain, interesting history

Long search but come up with the goods. Not in location of hint but close.

Found eventually, but not where the hint suggested, was still at head height. Placed back where found. Tftc

Hatd to find but found it!

Found after quite a bit of searching. Unfortunately pa monsta managed to bang his head while looking not once but 4 times!! Monstas had a great time thanks for bringing us here.

No sign of Zen travel slug.

The 'one more look' and cache was finally in hand. Found with debsnz

This one probably took longer than it should have but we'd come so far we were determined we weren't going to leave without finding it. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Well what a beast! Quick find TFTC

TFTC great hide

Found during fozzmiester's South Island adventure. Great fun was had with clever hides and stunning locations encountered along the way. Many thanks to the owners of all the caches found and the enjoyment which you provided.

A very cool piece of equipment which master fozzmiester didn't want to leave. TFTC

Found on way to Te Anau with PPJOB TFTC, Lovely day out in the fresh southland weather.

Lokks like a nice little but busy town

First time we have been to Ohai despite living in Southland for over 20 years. Thanks for bringing us here.

Great day for geocaching, we had an awesome day did 27 all up, our best day ever. TFTC.

A very cool feature - and a nice wee cache to showcase it. TFTC.

One always gets a sense of trepidation driving up to something like this, knowing there is a cache on it somewhere! Luckily, it was a relatively easy find and a nice hiding spot. Cheers Gav

Easy find in an interesting town

Easy find.

14 of 17 on a day caching trip. An easy find and a very cool place to have a cache. TFTC

Great machine & clever hide. TFTC.

Quick find with Guwapo who had come down for event, A day tour with him round the mountain. TFTC

Quick park and grab on a round trip through western Southland. Awesome machine. Salamat!

Fearsome looking Machine! Quick stop here in the rain. TFTC

DNF: Tried this one while we were here as it hadnt being found for a while but no luck today, had a good look around with Mrs Yeetrees, loving the look of the coal digger, but by the time we finished looking my hand was a total mess, and nothing to show for it but did love the information and digger at GZ, thanks for bringing us here bit of a shame the cache wasnt there, noticed the disabled log now, DAME!!!!

Again this one required a girl's look, with PB having had a good search with no success, and Annie came along & found it right away. Somedays the mojo is just with you!! Scarey & awesome machine for sure. TNLN TFTC

This was a cool cache.

Nice

TFTC

A quick stop to shake hand with the now retired miner. TFTC

Done on Southland / Central trip. TFTC.

No coin in container.

Found 10/7/10.Lots of places to look,so used the clue which made it easy.Interesting to see.TFTC

A quick trip to Ohai for this cache. Picked up the travel bug in it.

this was a great find for me, left alittle somethink

niceeeee

Go to this one quickly, as I have gotten rid of all of the spider webs ! Hate putting my hands in places that I can't see !

Another clever hide and an interesting spot for a history lesson. Picked up GC to help it on it's travels. TFTC [^]

Had lunch here but was a bit cold so had it in the truck. TFTC
+COIN
-TB

Took a while and needed the clue....although once found the clue didn't seem to necessary.
Swapped trackables.
TFTC

I used the hint as well..... but still enjoyed the cache.
Dropped off my last T/B before going back to the UK Thursday.
S/L swapped stuff TFTC

A very interesting piece of equipment. We wonder how noisy it would be in operation. Hint is almost a necessity, but with it the cache was quickly found. TFTC

Definitely had to use the hint on this one! TFTC

A good hide, sad to see the town going back so much since our last visit. A good clue, as there would have been lots of hidey holes on a machine this size and we didn't want to spend to much time with the weather the way it was. TFTC.

Wow, what an interesting wee machine. Well not wee. And there are so many places to hide a cache on this beast! With frenchfairy and It's TURNER Time!

TFTC!

Part of the Geocaching Roadie for New Years

nice ginger-coloured machine, cache took a bit of finding, good hide!
found with frenchfairy and blackhellebore89 on our last geocaching roadie for the year.
TFTC

Last cache find for 2009!! Spent quite a bit of time searching all around this machine while some of the local children looked on with water guns. Found it in the end though! TFTC

Cool bit of mining machinery.

Thanks Bitsprayer

Good sized cache given the nature of the hide. Interesting object too. Thanks.

Cool hide cheers

Quick find in a cool spot, TNLN, TFTC

I was FTF and the machine is interesting TFTC

Good find, clever hide.
2nd to Kiwiarmy, looks like we should have been up earlier.
