The Seagnoid, Toby, Zara and I are on a mission to find the elusive Turtle in Christchurch. We leave Zara in Sefton, while The Seagnoid, Toby and I start exploring between the Kowai and Ashley rivers. The elusive Turtle has been located and Gracies nursery visited, so lets see what else is around here.
Love that seat over there. After we snag and tag this one I go and check out the seat properly. Cheers
 
21-Jul-18
Taybeedragon, Zara, Toby and I came down this way as we heard the world turtle was hanging out somewhere near the nursery. It was too, we caught a glimpse of it back there, through the trees. So the mission for this weekend is done. But now that we are here, we carried on exploring the entire area between the Kowai and Ashley rivers.

I was saying to the dragon how I do not like reserve caches at the entrance to reserves, as this one is. The cache should takes us inside, to explore some aspect, such as that archway over yonder. Now that I read the cache page I understand - the reserve was only just being developed when the cache was placed.

The 3rd and last day of our Easter raid East and we are out collecting some points for the Planetary Pursuit.
Yay! We have made it to Pluto and are official Space Explorers but there is still plenty of time left in the day and there is always more caches to find so we will keep going! A nice easy find not exactly where we first though it would be. Careful of the wire protruding from the post when making the grab. Thanks for placing the cache Smile

Just picked up our geomutt Truffles from summer camp and decided to stick around the area for a wander. Luckily the man across the street couldn't see us at GZ because as this area is pretty quiet, we were a curiosity for him when we first parked. Logged our find and walked around the reserve a bit before heading on. TFTC.
