Found the tree but no cache

Found the tree but no cache

maybe next time (DNF)

Great spot

Good cache

Quick easy find - what a lovely walk- birds out in force today - TFTC

Quick find here left 2 trackables for others to discover very wet under foot. Cache ok tftc

Day 10 of our NZ adventure. Junior muggle and I headed out to explore the caches on way to Lake Tekapo. Took longer to find as we were overthinking it. log was signed and returned to its original location. TFTC Bitsprayer

I survived the forest goblin!

Found with Gummi_Venus. She chose this cache as our last for the day before the trip back to Chch. Goblins, indeed! This nice little reserve fully qualifies as an enchanted forest. Quickly found the cache, did a bit of maintenance, and replaced the goblin with a bit of natural camouflage.

Found with ObnoxiousSpaceCat on our way back to tautahi - I saw the word goblin in the title and I knew we had to find it. What a beautiful spot, definitely home to goblins and fairy folk. I thought the name was familiar - Talbot Forest cheese is excellent!

Nice trails. Cool place away from the sun. TFTC

TFTC; lovely to see the kahikatea trees down this track, along with the matai and totara.

We have made road trip from Auckland to Queenstown, today coming back from Pisa Moorings to Geraldine. After sitting some hours in car, it was refreshing to go for a walk. Though it was a quite hot day. Tftc, greetings from Finland!

Last one for the afternoon here in this lovely cool spot. Thank you.

Hi from Tauranga. We are visiting for a few days and exploring some of the geocache trails. Cache is all good. TFTC

On our long term trip from Germany to Western Australia / Tasmania / New Zealand for about 3,5 month, we drove trough NZ and picked up some cachesThis one was a quick found. TFTC

Wet paper we left a receipt Nathaniel and Quinn

Hint no longer applies, but you don't need to go off track really.

The container needs replacing with something waterproof. The log was so soggy I just signed with a V at the top.TFTC

Wasnt hidden, just in the open, paper was soggy so couldnt write on it, Tftc anyway

Thanks

Lost signal so took a while

Nice spot, little walk in the forest, I had a treasure in the box

Hint no longer applies as the original has rotted away. After 15 mins I spotted something that looked a bit out of place and yay, a cache. Tjanks, Bitsprayer.

Hunted until I got bored but no luck today

TFTC. Once GPS settled down it came to hand easy enough. Beautiful walk

Found, took awhile for gps to settle but got there in the end

After a bit of searching we found it. Swapped out one trinket for another.

Didn't find but pretty sure I was in the right spot.

Enjoying the bush walk so close to town. Soon located the cache. TFTC

First find.

Found it with a decent search! No goblin though we had no pen to write in the log

The forecast was beautiful for the weekend so we decided it was a good time to pack up the tent and the kiddos. Spent today completing some of the short walks and finding the geocaches. Little miss 5 is getting good at counting her numbers down to find ground zero. Little miss 3 is getting very good at finding them. Thanks for the cache.

Loved my walk and run through here today, second last cache of the day. TFTC!

Had a very good search but not there

To hard bit to wet and dark

Found after a really good search. The photo isn’t particularly helpful as it has all but rotted away now unfortunately. Still possible with a good hunt!

Definitely needed the photo!!

Road trip from Rotorua North Island.
Another South island cache found.
Not at the base of small tree. So moved it back to a hidey hole at the base of a small tree.

A nice quick find while out with HRDentist. TFTC

Def needed the picture
Log is a bit damp

Nice find with farmerkeith. The picture definitely helped.

More difficult than I thought

Made hard work of this one, the hiding place is in a state of decomposition, and missed in the debris the first time I searched; TFTC

I loved it Thank you so much!Sorry but we didn't bring anything for it, because we forgot to bring something to put in the hiding place .♡

Found with Mporokosa. TFTC

Off for a walk on my own after lunch but then hurried back to the motorhome to get Choco and the boys. TFTC.

Found it! Three in one day with no hints! How great!

soggy log book but except for that it was a good find. took a while to find the goblin face!! gps lead us to the wrong spot. cute goblin

Closer to track than expected and a bit worse for wear. Damp log also. Else nice find on a damp walk in the forest.

Nice and easy

Fun find!

No pen on us to note the find, but a good hunting our trip

Thank you

Found on a cold winters day when the mountains were closed.

Found it! Easy one, in an Anathoth jam pottle!

Goblin?

Great hide, thanks

In town for a few days for a wedding and all the stuff that goes along with it, hiccup, burp etc. Today it was an early morning run by myself through the forest tracks today. This was not too hard, not too easy. GPS had me up the bank at first and then down, where it was.

Good find, think it may have slightly moved from original position. TFTC

After our DNF in the rain yesterday, some checking of photos gavdownhill, instead e a much better idea of what we were looking for. An approach walking up the track today, instead of down yesterday, makes an enormous difference to what you see! There it is... though almost an ex-goblin by now.

Good find nice goblin

Great hide

Found it thanks!!

Staying in Geraldine for the night. Decided to go for a pre dinner walk and get a few caches. Nice hide, like the goblin. Will give it a FP. Thanks for placing the cache

Cool spot. Mr10 spotted the goblin but informed me there was no cache anywhere. A proper look from me and I soon had it in hand! Tftc

Great find thanks

The Goblin is great!

TFTC. No pen but a fun find.

Saw the goblin's face and then soon saw the cache. TFTC.

Found it! Photo was a great help. Hooray

Couldn’t find it

Found it !

Tftc

Grabbing some caches we missed last time.

TFTC

Greetings from the UK

13/10

A good hiding place

Forgot the pen, good find

Bit tricky.

Found 7 jan 2020, very cool goblin house

Tftc easy find. Very cool goblin

As we walked down trip street we saw the cache was in the bush on our right. We avoided bushwhacking and found a nice track leading straight to the cache.

Looked for a likely hint candidate as tree cover makes compass tricky. Soon in hand. TFTC

Have always wanted to explore this forest. So when you're stuck in Geraldine due to roads closed what do you do, go grab some geocaches. Cache was quickly found. Loving the forest so far!

Forced to stop in Geraldine because all the roads to Christchurch are closed because of flooding so explored and enjoyed the forest

Reasonably quick. Thanks for replacement cache. TFTC

quick walk to work off lunch ,can confirm this had gone so have dropped in a replacement unit co can get to it

Found the goblin but despite getting hands in every deep hole around couldn’t find it.

Not here either someones taken it or we didn't find it

Found the goblin as per photo but that’s all at this location.

We found the Goblin, the Cache is definitely not there.

Couldn't find anywhere

Found the Goblin but not the cache. Enjoyed the walk through the forest though.
