Final Resting Place #5 Hinds (CANTERBURY) Hinds, South Island, New Zealand
By team_macdonald on 03-May-16. Waypoint GC6GZ51

Having just completed another one in this series, we thought we would do some research in the car. Once we arrived at the cemetery, I realized it might have been doable right there. Thanks for the cache team Macdonald*Found during the Dunedin Mega Tour by Tiz13 and Snips and Co.*

Worked out CO on the way so a quick wonder thru cemetery

Finally the time has come - The GeoToroa Dunedin Mega!JustLookingOO has arrived in Christchurch from Wellington and we are driving down together, hunting down some multis on the way.Information was easily gathered, and cache was a quick find once. Thanks for setting this one up.

We do enjoy wandering around cemeteries reading the headstones and learning a bit about the history of the area. This one looked to have good parking so we made the small detour to come and have a look around. We had found all but one of the people and I said to GK that the cache is probably over there. Sure enough while I was searching for the last one he called out that he found the cache. We took the trackable so that it can continue on its journey. It may end up at the Mega in Dunedin if we don't find anywhere suitable between here and there.Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley.

Found with ivss_xx. We never found Sarah so we did a bit of poking around. Had it in no time. Thanks for the multi. I enjoy a cemetery cache.

17:40FITW ObnoxiousSpaceCatLast cache on todays tour. We generated some good amount of fuel for Signal!We both did about 2 whole rounds each past all of the gravestones, and located everyone but Sarah.As that number wasn't going to make much of a difference anyway, we just chose an average value and put it in. Walked right to the cache GZ!Cache all good here, and I put a trackable in, hopefully it gets travelling on as lots of people are doing multi caches lately.IN - [Gingerbread Geocache Tag](https://coord.info/TB94GYJ)Kia ora! Paldies! Thanks for the cache, team_macdonald!#11377

Managed to figure out this multi after looking around for a while. The cache was found quickly after. Thanks for the multi.

On my way to visit my sister and getting some caches for a challenge. All good with the cache. Thanks

Heading home after a weekend up in Christchurch with AlpiSteve who was happy for me to add a couple more caches for our trip. Cemetery multis are another favourite of mine so why not try for 3/3 in a row and all different types too. Soon had the numbers needed and then a straightforward quick find TFTC

Found with KJR (who did the hard work!) TFTC

Like others I struggled to find 2 names. However I found a work around. Cache was in plain site and in pieces. Signed and shut container and returned.

Took me twice around, and I still didn't find Sarah. Cache log signed.

An interesting wander around here, pleased to find the final easily enough. One name took us ages - not sure why!!! TFTC

Came here today to check out this multi. Found all the required info then made our way to final. Very appropriate place for the cache, happy to sign log as bunny ran away. Thanks for this multi and cache team Macdonald.

Nice, easy multi. Cache is in good condition. TFTC!

Found with dakotacats - this took a couple of goes to get the numbers - but we got there in the end. TFTC

Although there were a couple of small spelling errors we did manage to find all the numbers we needed - Sarah took a while until we opened our eyes and had a better look! Thanks for placing this cache team macdonald.

Our second resting place multi for today and another nice one in a slightly bigger cemetery. The numbers took slightly longer to find than at Winslow. A couple of names took a while to find but we did find them on our second walk around. Also, we found a particularly interesting headstone with a laptop and what looked like a travel bug number but when I checked it didn't seem to be. We soon had the coordinates and easily found the cache which was where we expected to find it. It has been 7 months since this cache was last found. This was our 9200th find.

Out for a drive to get some caches for the last part of the reach the peaks challenge. This was a nice and easy find. Thanks gir he cache.

Quick find, with the cache very exposed covered with a couple of sticks; TFTC

Full log to come

Stopped off for a quick leg stretch. No problems finding all the numbers in this little cemetery and the cache was a quick find. TFTC.

Heading back down to Dunedin for a few days; I've been meaning to stop here for some time & today was the day.
Didn't take long to find most of the graves (Sarah Dolan eluded me but I was able to extrapolate) and the cache was quickly found after that.
Thanks for your efforts, team macdonald.

First time ever that I have found all the headlines in a single sweep.

After a fun morning tackling Coal Hill track (but not quite making it to the top) and heading further up the Rangitata it was now time to head back out and homewards. Stopped by here just because I could.....a nice quiet wee spot. Soon enough had the numbers and was making the find and sign. Cheers.

On a trip down in the lower South Island with woolwood9.
We soon had the container found at final location SL: **tm/ww NZ**
*Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit*

Enjoyed the multi at another good cemetery.

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.

Sarah was hidden away but we found her in the end

Great challenge! Loved it

A invigorating stop as pretty chilly out there. Found all bar one but nothing a quick google couldn't fix. Cache in good order. Thank you!

Thanks. Was fun to do with the kiddos

Enjoyed this great little cemetery, 2 of us divided the tasks and found a lovely smiley. TFTC

Had a great wander around cache was a quick find

Last cache during our Xmas holiday before heading back home to Christchurch. Quick find on a small cemetry and a quick find. TFTC

Every time I go through Hinds I have said il get this cache.... Yesterday was that day... A quick look around and the info gained... A smiley is now mine cheers

I was heading to Temuka for the weekend, good opportunity to find a few along the way. I could not find one name, but luckily I had enough info to go on and find the final. TFTC!!

Found all safe and secure in perfect condition after my second attempt happy to have this one ticked off on a dot day tftc team_macdonald

Always value these cemetery caches. Thanks for this one.

Well that's a little tricky one isn't it - sister was the one who found the one that eluded me after a trip or two up and down the isles so to speak. Always love visiting these places and she even commented that there was a grave of someone that she knew when the family lived in Methven area buried there. I never met or knew of them at all. Found and cache is all good. Picked up TB to move to another quiet place after it travels with me back home before I set it free again in the next couple of days.

Yes I found it.
My original plan had been to try again yesterday as it was the middle of three dot days, but steady rain put a stop to that trip.
I thought I had kept the final coordinates but couldn't find them so retraced my steps tonight and got all the numbers again. Still had the cemetery to myself so I proceeded to hunt for the cache.
Well I managed to make that a lot more difficult than it needed to be. Easy return, added a travel bug.
Thanks for the cache.

We soon gathered the required information, and although it was a bit tricky getting into the cache location, it didn't take too long to find. TFTC

Wanted to tick off a dot day. Lovely calm evening and easy to get all bar one number. Decided to hunt for it without the last number when two people arrived. So took a photo and realised where the last number would be found. Got the number and left.

Today's task was to try and clean sweep all my unfounds (bar 1) between the Ashburton & Rangitata Rivers, east of SH1. Had to visit GZ twice today - I left my hiker's pole there on the first visit!. [xx(] TFTC team macdonald.

Another final resting place, and still the little guy sleeps. Another wander around and a quicker grab of the final. Cheers

Heading South for a break and a bit of Geocaching. Grabbing a few between Christchurch and Oamaru. Mrs banian is always on the lookout for cemetery caches.
Signed log, TFTC team_macdonald.

Three times round the cemetary before we found the Dolans. Tftc

Tftc!:

I was fast running out of time if I wanted to arrive in time for my Grandson's family birthday dinner so decided I may as well complete another of these multi's before I headed south with no more stops. Very pleasant here this afternoon walking up and down the rows and then off to sign the log. Another ticked off in this enjoyable series thanks team_macdonald. # 11,890

Great fun!

DNF, maybe try again another time

Driving down to the event in Oamaru with Injeanious, we drove slowly and took some of the back roads to pick up some caches on our way. We signed the log as JeJe to save time and space. It was great to get out and walk around here, interesting to see the same names pop up again and again in here, TFTC!

JD and I set off early to Oamaru for the Geofest and grabbed a number of caches on the way. Another fun geocaching road trip! We signed the log as Jeje.

JD and I went around and soon picked out the required names. One was missing so we checked again. Nope. I bet it's that one over there. I wonder why the Nolans happen to be so distant. I guess I'll never know. Tftc.

Man, those Dolan's are right twats. Had to look at the previous logs for help finding C. Eventually found for the last cache of the day. TFTC!

Last find before an event. Better get a wriggle on. I was suffering from cabin fever. Lucky for me Bbear came to the rescue and suggested a weekend away.
Aftering driving to Temuka last night we decided to explore Pleasant Point and the surrounding area before an event in Ashburton.

Find out more about New Zealand's next big event [Oamaru Geofest](http://oamarugeofest2017.wixsite.com/geocachingevent) and come and join us.

Thanks. team_macdonald for putting in the effort to hide this geocache. This was find 4954 for me.

A weekend trip away with Nosynel. Good to see the sun after a cold wet week.

A quick flight around to collect a few caches before we head to a pirate event in Ashburton.

Nice wander around collecting required info.

Cheers for the cache.

#13976. We had to do the leg work for this one (and with the grass still wet after yesterday's rain my shoes were pretty damp by the time we had the required info). Another interesting cemetery. TFTC.

I had pre-solved this multi as well, but this time it back fired as I had a couple of the numbers wrong and we couldn't find the cache at my co-ords. We set to and did the multi the intended way, and this time the final had us about 15m away from my solution. Cache didn't take long to find here despite there being a few possible hiding places.
Good to find a cache big enough for a TB I have been trying to off load - and I grabbed the TB already here. Thanks for another in the series and TFTC.

Hmm - making people walk to the farthest grave isn't very nice. Couldn't read my own writing and looked in completely the wrong place for a while before going back and checking. TFTC.

Why was the one grave so isolated??? TFTC

Another multi, and as we are not in a huge hurry, stopped and made the find. Cheers for the cache.

Bother the weather. Decided to head to Oamaru after reviewing the forecasts. The best of a bad deal. Had a great couple of days caching too, though slightly wet at times.

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Love this little series but its always a bit sad seeing the young ones. Sarah gave us the runaround!

A very quiet Sunday and a wander to pick up the clues. A very nice find. Thanks.

After a lengthy walk around headstones some nice sayings on them got coordinates then found thanks to co

Took a while to figure out clues. Found cache while out with chiko 1 and creek road girls

After good search and collecting dates found the cache

First of the day, great to get such a good start in a quiet place, no applause from the locals!
Thanks

Had a great road trip around the Canterbury Plains caching today 122 for the day many thanks to all the cache owners. - Bitsprayer

Our first smilie on our caching journey into Canterbury today, Found after a bit of an alteration to the coordinates we deduced on line before the visit. Cache all good. Another nice tidy resting place. TFTC

A small resting place so easy to solve the puzzle. Wonder why one grave was so far from the rest? TFTC

FTF oh yeh. Just spotted this by chance didn't get a notification so just had enough time before I had to be back for soccer practice lucky it wasn't to far from home and a nice quick find bit of stealth needed as a muggle on a digger was playing in the corner. Thanks TM&R will look out for #3 better get moving Fav for ftf as is the norm
