The boot didnt fit. Found tftc

Cute.JohMI, USA

TFTC! Great find. TMH

Thanks.

Finally found this one. Last time gps wasn't working. So i got this sorted before driving down the side road. Clever idea. TFTC.

Day #4 of my 11 day holiday and heading to Akaroa for the week.
This was a nice quick find which was a relief after my pevious DNF. All good here with this one TFTC

#12,320. I was staying at my sisters place at Leeston and decided today I would head to Banks Peninsula to do the CANZ cache but picking up a few on the way. Stopped here to check out the big boots. Lucky I went the direct approach as the area has a lot of boxthorn. But soon spied the cache and had a chuckle. Signed the log and put the cache back as found. Thanks busy paws for setting this one up.

Quick find. Cool idea for a hide. TFTC

Really wish I had my "big boots" on today instead of these soaking socks and sneakers!
It wasn't raining when I left Chch, but it certainly is out here now!"
Despite the rain, I can't pass up the opportunity to grab a few interesting caches on my way to Okains Bay for a few days to stay with my partner and his daughter, Wtiger1717 while they camp there for a week.

V. Cute cache indeed!
Thanks for another fun hide busy paws

I didn't know the song or the film but then I haven't seen any of the 30+ movies he made. I lived too far from the cinema in 1960s rural Hertfordshire, UK. As of now tho, I've seen a YouTube version of Wooden Heart, (which I did know), from the same film. After not being able to access a couple of caches yesterday because of flooding, I was concerned about the access to this one, but then it was not an issue! Thanks busy paws.

Spotted from the roadside. Made for a quick find. Cute.

Such a cute cache. TFTC!

Nice easy find, on a nice easy day. Cheers!

Cool and quick find. Tftc

The first place I looked, like it when that happens; TFTC

Found it
cute cache with sense of humour

Sorry boots are too big for me......

Found on a nice drive in the area. Don't know why I haven't got this one before. Driven past it lots of times

All good to go at level 2 now.

Lockdown. No caching at the current level!

Quick easy find. TFTC

Very cute!

Out and about on Banks Peninsula today managed to grab a cache here there when time permitted. Got this one on the return trip - very cool cache! TFTC.

Having a long weekend and decided to head up to Christchurch to meet friends. The rest of the weekend was spent geocaching, grabbing many of the puzzles solved during lockdown.
This was my second day going out and finding some great caches to fill in some challenges and complete some fun series.

All good here.

TFTC nice quick find today

A quick find of another very interesting busy paws cache. TFTH!

Cool hide, very close to the gates to the property, so I hope the owners are happy about the placement. The dog was getting overly excited about my presence, but no issues finding the cache. TFTC!!

All good to be found again now that restrictions have been lifted.

Until the viral lockdown is lifted, my geocaches are disabled. Any logs will be deleted. DO NOT Geocache currently.

I'm going to have to ask Dr Google about this song. I suspect the tune will be familiar but I've just never caught up with its name. Not quite what I was expecting at GZ but made me smile. TFTC .

Awesome cache. Well with the wet grass

Cute cache
TFTC

TFTC - nice day for a drive

Not quite what I was expecting here. You wouldn't want to be on a three day tramp thats for sure. TFTC # 14,490

Quick find. I bet there are great views from that house on the hill.

Loved the cache and it was a quick find.

Spur of the moment day out to Akaroa with Geo cache friends. What a cute cache, boots too small for me but I loved them. Thanks for this cache busy paws, a fav from us as made us smile plus bonus amazing bird song. Awesome

Very cute. TFTC.

found all safe and secure in perfect condition tftc with BCD

Yes a nice easy find. The boots were rather a tight squeeze. Tftc

Logtime: 11:35 #6792

Quick and easy find. TFTC

Stopped to feed the birds and grab a cache. Cute container. Thank you

Cute

Looks like the sign for the cafe has gone so no issues with muggles, although the local fox terrier was very interested in us. TFTC

Weekend trip to Akaroa. Thanks for the hide.

Quick stop and go. TFTC.

I had driven back along Summit Rd to re-visit the last couple of caches I found yest, looking for sunglasses - no luck; this cache was close to my journey back to the city.
No sign of any nearby activity today -perhaps it is seasonal?
Thanks for the cache, busy paws.

A well established geo trail and good coordinates made for a nice quick find here. Great little cache. TFTC

Some yappy dogs across the road wouldn't be quiet but thankfully no one came out to see what was making them bark. Loved the container.

Today was a low number day. I also wanted to qualify for a challenge in Blenheim. It is to find 100 different geocaches by 10 different COs. I aimed to find my 100th Busypaw geocaches today. This was my 100th.

Thanks. busy paws for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 5961 for me.

The weather is not that great and would not use these boots on a day like today. So luckily we made it a quick find and continued our journey to grab a few caches in the area. TFTC

Heading to Akaroa for a few days holiday......feeling happy that the rain has stopped and the sun's shining. Very cute little cache! Tftc

How you get these ideas I don't know. Great fun to find! Thanks Busy paws.

Yes definitely got a smile! Many thanks

GZ certainly drew a big smile for a smillie. TFTC

Out on a Sunday drive to put me into space

No problem could see it from the road nice quick find tftc

Quick easy find

Easy find

Out for a days caching (but not on the bike for a change)

Not found for a while, but there it is safe and sound.

Thankfully spotted it from afar pretty quick smart. GLB1719 TFTC (3891)

10 May 2017 17:04. These boots still have some growing to do. TFTC and the giggle busy paws.

Day two of my Caching trip to Canterbury. Even the weather came to the party today. TFTC

On our way to Little River with family from UK. Great themed cache TFTC

Found on our way to Little River for the weekend with "richbritty" and Mrs Graemey (UK).Neat cache although we started on the wrong side of the hedge to start with but got there in the end. TFTC-Nice Hide.

Found on the way to Akaroa. The main road is busy but this road is nice and quiet. Love the cache container. TFTC

StreetWalker and I set out earlyish on a warm Sunday morning to bike along part of the rail trail (and find some caches ). It was pretty quiet on the road, so took the time to do a short detour along this side road to pick up the three caches along it.
As it was the first stop of the day, I had yet to fire up my GPSr,. By the time it had found enough satellites, SW had found the cache and all I needed to do was sign the log book. TFTC.

#13673. Loved the cache holder. The dead branches obstructing the route to GZ were annoying, so on the way out I broke some of the branches off. TFTC.

Rather cute!

2nd of 6 finds on my trip to Little River to get chook food. This was a VERY quick find - not sure if there's been some pruning, but I spotted the cache from the car.
TFTC

Quick find. Cache container and log in good condition. Thanks!

Second to last for the day for a cache we should have got on the way to Littleriver not back. At some point I switched of Traditional caches showing on the GPS and only when we got close to Little river did I notice. Cache was a quick find and a cool themed hide it is.

Sevren found it while I'm busy with my phone.tftc

I saw an obvious spot from the road so made a beeline for it. Horrified wasn't there, wrong spot. Checking the name I found it. Love this!!!

Nice cache. Tftc

Nice cache. Tftc

drive in sunday today. found the cache in good condition. thanks for the box, rolofant

Decided to do this loop road as we had never been up here before. That's what we like about this activity. A brisk winters day with plenty of bird song around. TFTC

A beautiful day for a walk so son and I thought we'd have a wander up this road and find a few caches. This one was a quick find. Gets a favourite from us for the creativity. TFTC.

TFTC. On holiday and I was just waiting for a break in the weather to get out and about. The target today was modest - pick up a few caches on the way to Diamond Harbour and beyond where I was seeking a few solved puzzles from the D/T series. I was in the company of The Cornish Tin Miner and Weasley Hound, Caching Secret Weapon In Training. As happens in my caching things don't always go to plan.

This is my favourite road back to ChCh from Motukara so it was cool to find 3 caches down here take needed by signature in the log.

Thanks buzy paws for placing this well themed cache.

Enjoying holidaying down South with tmann421. More wet weather today.

A nice quick find for us and a fun camoed hide. TFTC

Fun hide here! SL TFTC

Out on a mission to sign off a number of caches on the SW side of Banks Peninsula. Ha ha. I guess the boots were big for someone once. TFTC

have been skunked by two of your caches. Not your fault, but some of the bridges look a little intimidating for someone who has been known to topple. However, this was a terribly fun cache and easy to get to. I really enjoyed those big boots--a surprise!

Café was closed so no issues with muggles or parking. Thanks fir another placement, found this one pretty quickly.

The Café is Closed,so no one about,and they were quickly found..TFTH

Nice wee hide, found by night. All quiet. Tftc

Boots not made for walking!

Nice easy find on a great day out cute boots. TFTH

TFTC

The elephant tracks didn't stop us from getting tangled in the branches. Another busy paws clever container. Our best wishes to Mrs Wangler hope all goes well. TFTC

Geocaching in style!!! We were heading into hospital this morning to start Mrs TW's radiation treatment and this one popped up onto the radar. Mrs TW suggested we head out, thanks my girl! We bought a new ride for the next stage of our journey and took it out today for a drive. We filled up in Tai Tapu and had a laugh as it only cost $30 to fill, olden days kind of fill up. I was watching the temperature gauge closely. It was good thankfully. We got to GZ and I was able to corner the fun, colourful cache quickly. I was greeted with a blank log book too, nice one! {FTF} at 9.30ish. Good fun, now for a wee drive to Oncology. Good work busy paws!!!

Thanks for the cache busy paws.

Stopped off on a lunchtime adventure with the Lincoln crew (myself, KarmaReprint & KiwiMoose)....no online logs at that stage so we thought we were in with a chance; but no...beaten by a very Stylish Mr & Mrs TW......cheers. I'm liking the sound & looks of the new cache mobile?! LOL....overheating & fuel might be a problem with some of our missions though?! ha ha ha ha.....

Wow ! Elephant tracks already. Such a delicate little container and a fun hide. Thanks.

There was nothing logged online so we three Lincoln Lads thought we were in with a grin. However, a cacher with a much classier ride than ours appears to have done the deed a few hours earlier. Good on ya Tim! Cheers

Still unlogged on line so the Lincoln Lads cruised along to see if we could finish of the lunchtime mission with a FTF. Unfortunately, we were 2tf, but fortunately under the circumstances the ftf couldn't have gone to a more deserving bloke. All the best guys, thinking of you.

Thanks BP for the cache. Cheers.
