Nice! Thank you!!

Went wine tasting and had dinner but not time for bed. So a few PNG caches it was.

TFTC easy find.

Just a couple more to collect before heading back to camp for the day. Another quick find here. tftc#7063

**19,978**Mr Geckoh was wondering why there was no hint, as he mumbled and grumbled and then opened his eyes and what do you know, there was the cache!! TFTC

Nice quick find on my first day back in South Island. TFTC

Second find on the 9th in the morning. Not far from our campground (Spring creek) and I can see there is another cacher there as per previous log

Staying at Spring Creek campground, we gathered a few on our way to lunch at a nearby vineyard. Thought we'd looked thoroughly, but we didn't. Spotted on a second look, thanks

No worries about traffic down here, she's rather quiet. Nice wee spot to grab the cache and sign the log, cheers

Found thanks!

Been in the South Island visiting the grown up kids who are on Uni holidays. Travelling home but mechanical problems means an extended stay in Blenheim. Well, more time to cache. Nice camouflage. Thanks

Family holiday time...loaded up with bicycles to find some fun tracks. A couple nights Kaikoura, a couple in Blenheim & then finally a couple nights in Richmond.
After a couple nights in Kaikoura it's now time for a couple nights in Blenheim. After an afternoons bicycle ride around the town section of the river track we came back to our accommodation for some tea and then a wee walk.....quick find and sign here. Played poo sticks for a bit before heading back to our cabin for the night. Thanks.

Out for the morning with the grandkids PDH_NZ and had a chance to stop and look for this one again. Yay quick find this time. SL. TFTC.

Out with NanaAuckland aka Darby&Joan for a few caches this morning. Yay quick find here. SL. TFTC.

A lovely clear stream

Had a couple of hours up my sleeve before having to head south this afternoon so decided to do a bit of caching around here. I missed this one on the first pass so it took me longer than it should have to find it. All in good condition with excellent accurate coordinates. Signed log, TFTC!

Paddle chick Sir belac and I spending the day caching in Blenheim trying to mark a few off for the Mystery at the museum nice easy find .Thanks for this cache GH6710

Quick find

Nice in rain

A great 2 weeks of travelling the south island it's been amazing great weather only 1 half day if wind and rain nearly 500 caches found over the time incredible views tftc a quick find here I thought I had it sorted by the hint prior to approaching and yes I did but then it was an ahha moment tftc great place and area to explore hope to visit again the Sourh Island soon. No muggles around only traffic zooming by none caring what I was up to tftc signed the log and placed it back exactly where I found it. Had to get this cache it was only a road away from where we had to go

Back in the area today ater a delayed ferry crossing due to the high winds, bit of a bumpy ride, but got a couple of hours caching in, many thanks to all the cache placers - Bitsprayer

It has been 154 days since I last found a cache, 155 was my highest streak of not finding one, and I didn't want to go above that, so I've got in, just in the nic of time! Dropped daughter off at new job at the bakery in Grovetown and decided this was the one I would get. I have been down this road many times. A friend has folks who live down here, and she used to live there too. I might try and do a short streak while I'm on holiday this week- a finding streak this time though! Tftc.

So shiny! This was my first find of today's after work caching run, attempting to earn enough points for the final Cache Carnival souvenir before the promotion ends on Sunday. A lovely spot, thank you for the cache.

Heading to Christchurch for a week, found before going to our motel in Blenheim. All good here. Thanks GH6710 for the cache.

Cache repaired

#6709. I am back in Blenheim once again on a day trip from Wellington to attend several meetings. These went on a lot longer than usual so just as well I had booked the late flight home. Still time for 2 hours of geocaching before heading back to the airport. Surprised I haven't looked for this one previously. Maybe it was missing? Today it took about a minute to be in the correct spot. Signed the log and replaced the cache where found. Thanks GH6710 for the cache.

I kind of knew what to look for but still took a few minutes. Back in place again.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache. Still all intact but may I suggest some of that magic grey tape around the outside of the container to hold the magnets in place on the outside. They had joined together, as magnets do, inside down one end, reducing its sticking power. If I am passing by with some tape i'll give it a go if you want.

Quick P&G

Quick find on a hot summer’s day!

Quick park and grab TFTC

Good one

Sad spot. A bunny was hit by a car here.

I had an opportunity to go to the South Island and take a week off work and do some caching while Mrs Yeetrees had to go to the ANZEG Conference 2018 which was being held in Nelson.

Day 8: Blenheim to Picton. Today was the last day that we had in the South Island on this trip and we need to drive from Blenheim to Picton to catch the Ferry back home, we needed to be at Picton by at 1 pm. We decided that we would pick up a few caches along the way if the opportunity arose.

After finding GC6JXBG - A few of my favourite things Challenge (Marlb), this was the next cache that I had on my list that I wanted to find today. As we neared the GZ, Mrs Yeetrees managed to find a safe parking spot not too far from GZ, from there it was a very easy walk to GZ.

Arriving at GZ with my invisibility cloak on (HiVis), no one paid any attention as to what I was doing. Once at GZ, I checked to make sure the area was clear and then I had a quick look at the hint and soon spotted something and soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where I found it. Thanks GH6710 for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (13677). A great spot for a cache, thank goodness that it was a Saturday and there were many muggles around.

Today is the last day of my cache raid in Blenheim. Decided to start at Spring Creek before heading out to the Wairau River mouth. Had just signed off a couple of puzzles and noticed that this P&G was nearby so a quick diversion was made. The scraps of paper that were serving as a log had passed their use by date, so I left a fresh new log on a new baggie. All good. TFTC.

A quick and easy find. Thanks

A weekend away, first this month!! Up to Sunny Blenheim to do some walking and caching. Friday night drive took forever, there must have been a dozen sets of traffic lights along the way. A great day today though so the Friday drive was worth it.

Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.

Tftc

Nice stream, very picturesque.

This area is so rich with caches, at this stage I was thinking I might try for a 50 finds day. This one added to my total. Thanks GH6710

I knew where I needed to go, but where-oh-where have all these cars come from? Knocking-off time at the vineyard perhaps.

Having taken a few minutes pretending to take a call, I dived in for the find.

A quick, easy spot.

Thanks

2 days in Picton and Blenheim and driving in the surroundings ...

And on the way around the world I also found this cache.
I strolled over to ground zero and searched for a short time and found the container.
The coords are right on the mark. The cache is in good condition and the log paper is nice and dry. I took nothing, left nothing, and signed the log paper.
I carefully replaced the cache at the same place.


*thanks to GH6710 for your cache*

That's a good one, nice bridge, nice bridge, nice fields

At the moment Pfote and me are on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. After more than two years in Australia we took the chance to be so close to New Zealand, which is the farthest place on earth from our home. So we hopped over and will travel at least most of the south island in the upcoming months.

On the way to the nearby letterbox we we're accidently sent here by the navigation. Sorted the problem out but of course, as we were already here, grabbed this box as well.

TFTC and greetings from Germany.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Perfectly quiet on the road today to get this one at my leisure, tftc.

Today we mostly targeted PnG caches to help boost our July numbers to go towards a challenge in the North Island, The weather was sunny but still with a chilly wind so was always warmer in the car than out of it. We managed 57 cache finds and ended the night on a high note with a FTF in the fresh snow and dark at St Arnaud. Overall we totaled 107 finds for the weekend - blowing the challenge out of the water!
I made the terrain harder on myself here as it looks like others have done unnecessarily aswell. Quickly seen from a different angle than intended, Thanks for the cache

TFTC

Thanks

Not bad even in the dark! Lol thanks for cache

Easy enough, even in the dark lol...careful not to drop the light or the cache of course! Thanks for cache

More flippin' muggles!! Hahaa! Just waited for him to finish on the phone and then BOOM....cache!

Found with crman1, FluffyUnicorn02, and PotterFan16279. TFTC!

Muggles pop up in the funniest places. Found this one pretty quick after they were gone though.

Found with coastalmartinis, PotterFan16279, and crman1.

Out for a big day of geocaching. 30 on the list and we thought we'd see how many we could find. Did well today and found almost all of them. All were great hides, and we even learned stuff along the way.

Apologies for generic log, but so many to log before bed! Thanks to all the COs!!

Found with coastalmartinis, FluffyUnicorn02, and PotterFan16279.

We went out for a family day of geocaching. I think we had 30 on our list and only DNF a few. All of them were really cool hides. Thanks so much to all the COs who thought them up.

I'm really sorry to leave the same log for all of them but I don't type very well and there are so many I have to log tonight.
Found with FluffyUnicorn02, crman1, and coastalmartinis.

Very easy find. Tftc

Last one for the day, easy find, tftc

Couldn't crack this one today despite climbing underneath both ends and sides. Got nervous in the end with Grandson 5 keeping an eye on him as well. Will try again another visit.

Found this one quite easily thanks.

Another Sunday afternoon blitz around Blenheim with Jo and another dozen or so knocked off. Thanks everyone for the caches good fun exploring places we've never been to before.

This was one of the caches we found on our South Island homeward journey from Picton after 3 weeks touring around the North Island in our camper van. Our thanks to the many CO's for the many great caches and placements which diverted us to many great locations. Sorry for the generic log, but so many caches to log. TFTC

Nice day for caching

Out geocaching on the east side of SH1 between Pukaka Valley and Blenheim with Kiwimykl. He already has this one which could have made it easier for me, but I didn't need his help for a QEF as it was lying on the ground. KM said it should be 'uryq va cynpr ol n vaivfvoyr sbepr' but the 'zntargf' were missing so I replaced it as best as I could.

This one wasn't in the target area, but it was on the way back to it after lunch.
