cache has done its dash - time to refresh the board

Nice quick find. A little a squished though. Tftc

No luck for me here today.

Master 11 had it in his hands before I even walked over - hadn’t even given him the hint - tftc

I didn't manage to find this cache back in 2016 but it seems the coordinates provided then were not as good as they are now. I managed to make a very quick find today. The container and its contents are in excellent condition.

We pulled up here and thought are we even allowed in here?! But when we drove in further we saw it was all good. Love cemetery hides...we must of visited at least 6 graveyards today and all were very beautiful. Nice hide and I left all its natural camo on as it made it look even better! This one was my favourite hide of this series. So I’ve added a FP. TFTC

Had wanted to do this trail since.....well...since it first came out...but life had other ideas. We finally got our chance and thankfully it wasn't too hot as we took a day to follow these trails. So great to finally knock them off! only 3 DNF's....thanks for the time spent putting them down.

A hidden gem and very historic place.

Decided since I had to go to Marton today that it was also time to get out and about doing some geocaches, some new, some old.

Missed this ages ago so gave it another crack. Cache quickly found at GZ, signed log and left as found.

Would like to see more of the lovely looking homestead which looks out into GZ.

Thanks for the placement marisa&kaleb.

Found with Tramper Ted after we had both taken part in the NZ long distance orienteering champs in the pine forest adjacent to Forest Road. Soon found thanks to the helpful hint. It's a neat hidey hole but it is very damp in there and the container is at risk of getting rusty. A nice little detour off the road, thanks for your placement marisa.

Found after the orienteering event. Here with Edvern. Interesting location. Log damp - needs replacing. TFTC

We also thought this was a private driveway. What an amazing place. Very peaceful here at the moment.

Thank you for bringing us here, this series and also TFTC marisa&kaleb! On to find some smurfs now.

Continuing my hunt for Snow White and some dwarves.
I'm impressed with this private Family graveyard, and the nearby house.
A straight forward find. All good here. I then spent half an hour wandering around the graveyard. TFTC
This cache also closes another angle segment on my project-gc 360° from Home Challenge, being 278-279°.

Had the day off work and so pleased to be back geocaching after Covid level 3 and 4. Headed out towards Bulls. Managed to find Snow White and 6 Dwarfs. Will have to return sometime for Sneezy who escaped today. Thanks for this series. A favourite for Snow White as this is definitely a place we would have driven past if there hadn’t been a cache here.

Wow what a fab final place, like many others I thought this was a private driveway.
Hunted for a while but this time unfortunately didnt find it.
Next time!

Great grab and go cache, thanks.

Day two of my road trip from Auckland to Nelson in my newly acquired convertible cachemobile. Finding a few caches along the way. After checking into a motel in Bulls where I decided to stay for the night, I took advantage of the long summer daylight hours to go out a find a 'few' more caches. I headed for this area as it seemed to have a few trails of interest. Starting with the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Trail or should that be the Six Dwarfs Trail? Apologies for the cut and paste logs. If anything stood out for me, I'll mention it. A cool ending to this series. I was Happy even though Happy was no more. The cemetery near GZ was an interesting feature too. TFTC, Biggles.

One of 30 caches located today in the Sanson/Ohakea/Bulls vicinity. Worth the special drive up from Wellington! I needed more than 25 to ensure this month’s total breaks my previous monthly record. Almost all quick finds, although it took a brief moment to find the hidey-hole holding this one. Wondered initially about heading up this ‘driveway’, but did so on the presumption that it’s open to the public. #3151. TFTC.

interesting drive around the country. dead end of the set.

This was a tad scary at first,as it looked like private property..so I was a tad apprehensive ..then all was revealed...I thought this would be the best place for sleepy ..any way Snow white was all good ..thanks Marisa&Kaleb1

Well what a surprise!! Cool little cemetery. As we approached I could smell something dead, hope it wasnt an occupant. Thanks for the cache Mar1sa

I'd had a pretty slack Geocaching month so far, and was in danger of not getting my normal personal monthly goal of at least 50 finds per month, so I decided to take advantage of the balmy evening weather to go back to a couple of areas I haven't spent enough time caching around before - Bulls and Feilding.

This particular cache was one that I had failed to find previously, so I was keen to put that right. Having spoken to the CO, I was able to provide a replacement container and log which was placed in an obvious geocaching location which hopefully will last a bit longer than the previous one. The old co-ordinates are pretty accurate, and if there's any doubt then the hint has been amended to make it simple enough.

Glad to turn the blue frown into a yellow smiley.

Have driven past here many times on the way to and from orienteering, have often wondered what was up the driveway. Now I know -a lovely little family cemetery, very calm and tranquil with a history of over 160 years of burials representing a number of related families.
Well worth the visit, even though the cache appears to have gone -had plenty of time to search all available spots but no success. Thanks Mar1sa for bringing me here anyway

This turned out to be my fifth and last DNF of the day, which wasn't bad out of the 49 caches attempted. I spent 10 minutes searching the very obvious GZ that the posted co-ords took me to, plus all the other such potential locations about 25m either way before looking at previous logs for a further clue. In reading those, and seeing an alternative set of co-ordinates, I switched my search and then spent another 15 minutes fruitlessly searching all around there.

Previous finders have suggested it may have been a bit exposed in it's current location, and I would suggest that it has probably gone.

I'll keep an eye on future logs prior to coming back this way sometime in the future.

Interesting spot. Thanks for bringing me here

This series made a great cycle. The finale led me to another nice spot with some cool shade that I could hide under whilst signing the log. TFTC

Day 3/9 of our New Years trip up to the North Island. This was find #33/100 for the day and #102/526 of our trip.
Today was a numbers run of mostly PnG caches. We started in Palmy and set off to see if we could Spell, then headed up to Bulls and after that rounded up a few Smurfs, Herbs, Airplanes, Railway stations and anything else along the way until we came in to finish the KAS trail we started in Oct 2016. Our incar navigator didnt know how to get here and from the road it looks like this is a private driveway but we went to check it out anyway. We parked up close to GZ and followed the GPS as it went down checking all possiblities on the way only to have to come back and find it in the one right next to where we parked 12m from GZ. I guess Snow White is better at hiding than the other dwarves. Thanks for the effort involved in placing and creating this cache for all of us to enjoy.

Lovely little area.
Had a good look around with no joy until I read the past logs.
Widened the search and soon spotted the cache
Thanks marisa&kaleb

Up for the Mega for the week, had a great day in the Bulls and the sunrounding areas many thanks to the cache placer's - Bitsprayer

Heading to Wellington Mega a day earlier with Squirrel Nutcase and NZ Flossy a day earlier.
Out to collect caches that we have previously passed.
So sorry cache owners, we had a fairly large find today so it's a copy and paste day.
Thanks everyone for their cache placements that we found. SLTFTC

WENZ Mega Weekend is almost here... Motoring south today with Gap (of Fap and Gap), and NZFlossy. Our intention is to cache our way to our accommodation in Lower Hutt... The big news of the day is that Highway 1 is closed at Pukerua Bay. A truck crash and chemical spill have shut down all lanes coming to and from Wellington. We have plenty of caches to find to keep us occupied, but this could be a long wait...

Friday: We have had our eye on these multiple hides to the south of Bulls. It's nice to be able to visit in great weather and with pleasant rural views. TFTC.

On my way to the mega with Squirrel Nutcase and Fap and Gap. Having lots of fun and enjoying the ride and the scenery. It’s what I love about caching - great company and visiting great places. Thanks to all the COs for all their caches Hopefully we see some of them at the mega this weekend. Coords were a bit out in this one but we left where found May need checking TFTC

We took a while to find this cache, after initially searching at the coordinates, where there was suitable hiding place, and which we suspect was the original location of the cache. However, after reading nodo's log, we realised it was now in a quite different location, by the gate, and went straight to it. Our coordinates were S40 12.004 E175 19.766, and we suggest these are used, unless and until the cache is moved back to its original location. We covered the cache to make it less visible. TFTC

Glad to see that the dwarves momma is back online and in place and I can also complete the remaining mar1sa caches down these back roads. Last time I was down here I was on a limited timeline so just grabbed the low-hanging fruit. This time I could add some flavour and add some herbs to the mix. T F T Cs mar1sa.

After rounding up some caching sheep on the way here via backroads from Wanganui, I diverted into Marton for a couple more whilst 'on the way' to Bulls. A few years ago I found Marton's first cache and there weren't many here then, now there are a few - which is nice.

Day 4 and it's a day to grab a few numbers just for the numbers. With too many late starts and lie-ins I decided to get up with the lark (8 o clock) and head out after a quick n easy breakfast. I grabbed quite a few sheep, some herbs to accompany them as well as a revisit to a couple of previous DNFs. Over 30 finds for the day and a good day to be out and about in the Spring sunshine, and occasional raindrops.
Thanks to all the CO s for their hides.
I have had some holiday leave booked for a while now and we are heading North on the ferry, along with the Cache-Qai, and off to Rangitikei to visit our daughter, her partner and our son. First time this many members of the family have been together for a few years so should be good. The plan was half day in work followed by heading off after lunch, then arriving early evening in W(h)anganui to catch up with kids. We're on the North island for a week so there will sure to be some cache found whilst in the area. My Marlborough and Tasman finds have been inching slowly but surely towards my Manawatu/Rangitikei finds but this trip will be sure to redress that balance again for a few more years I'm sure.

11.00am. This one took some time. It may not be where it is meant to be. At gz there was an ideal hiding spot but it was empty. Widened the search and finally found it 16 metres away. And very exposed to anyone going through the gate. Replaced as found.
Thank you. David.

all good to go again thanks to haydn.seek

Out this way again and this time i went armed with a replacement container as discussed with C O so i replaced it as i was instructed and it is now ready to go again.
many thanks for this cache and another smiley face. this is a great little series with great names of the smurfs which i remember from 40 years ago! and i still have some of the original and slightly taller smurfs. ie smurf singer, smurf teacher. etc. that i was given .

I think this one will need checking

Could not locate either

Out and about with Taybee, Taybee NZ and Team Geocacher Mr. T finding caches. We had a good hunt around for this one, but without success. It does appear that this one is missing.

Sorry to log a DNF on this one we will be back log by gsak

Sorry to log a DNF on this one we will be back log by gsak

once again not found

once again a DNF we had hoped to clean up these last two caches not found on our earlier trip but this one still eluded us!! we hunted everywhere and left plastic flowers in all the likely places!!

No luck finding this one.

I had some spare time while in town visiting some of the rellies, so I thought Id do a few of the easy drivebys in the area. I had a great day and grabbed a heap of caches. Lots of damp and wet caches, but not surprising given the weather. I did find some that had been replaced, but found the original nearby. Signed one or the other depending on which I found first. Thanks to all the CO's for a great day and apologies for the generic log.

Found lying out in the open. Signed and replaced in obvious spot. TFTC

While staying at Scotts Ferry we decided to have a couple of hours caching many thank for the Smurf series.

Had to drop Jr. Cache #1 and friends off at a farm in the area where they were helping out for a couple of hours so decided to grab some nearby caches. Had skipped this one earlier as there seemed to be a collection of vehicles near GZ, including the one that arrived while finding the cache at the entrance. However the boys still had another hour or so before they would be finished and decided to give this one another go. All quiet here now, other than a herd of friendly cattle alongside the track, and spotted the cache on the ground. Returned the cache to the hinted location, TFTC.

A day's caching around the Manawatu. Very pleasant day out, nice weather and plenty of caches to find.
No sign of anything where the hint suggested and was about to give it away after noticing 2 previous dnfs. Just thought I'd have one last look on the ground in case it had fallen out, and sure enough, quickly spotted it, signed and replaced where I thought it probably should have been.

TFTC mar1sa

No luck today on trip with Haydnseek and Jono S

No sight nor sound of this cache.

When looking at the map I did wonder how we were going to get here. But all was revealed as we got closer to it. I will be back to have a look at the area over the over the fence and I am intrigued about its history.

Many thanks for this series.

Log signed as 'IE'. TFTC.

The finale to this excellent little series. So far we've met sheep, trains, bulls and Dwarves, now on to tackle the Smurfs! TFTC!

Bad news I didn't find the cache - - but good news, I did find my glasses which I have an annoying habit of putting down any old place. It was a cool spot to visit anyway even though I didn't end up with a smilie. Thanks!

A great morning/afternoon with lil_taurus following the trails... Could not find cache..

spent some time here but no luck

#9105. Another park and grab after returning to Parewanui Road in Bulls to continue on this series that we had started earlier in the afternoon. GZ was all quiet when we visited. Found after a short search, at a spot some 13 metres away from the published coordinates. Our averaged coordinates were the same as those obtained by agcnz on 24 February 2017. The cache was in good condition, all thanks to the weather proof paper inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for bringing us to the site, and …

#3832. I had the day off work so decided I needed another road trip to wrap up a very busy month (of geocaching). I am working on the DGSC challenge and foolishly decided to go for the bulk find elective which needs 1500+ cache finds in the year. But one month needed 300+ finds and I was close enough to that target in March so went for it today to get the remaining 61 caches I needed. And so onto the next Sanson power trail: Snow White and the seven dwarves. Maybe I will remember all their names next trivial pursuits quiz. A cemetery seemed an appropriate place to find Snow White. Couldn't find any sign of the poisoned apple however. The cache did take a few minutes to track down. It wasn't close to the published coordinates but a check of nearby places soon revealed a nicely tucked away container. I see other coordinates have been suggested but I didn't need to use those today. Signed and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for the cache.

Called here as part of a day's caching in the Manawatu area in fine warm weather. After lunch at Bulls I headed down towards Scotts Ferry where there was an abundance of caches to find along the way. This one took me a bit of a search, the coordinates were about 15 metres out for me and were placing me within the cemetery amongst the graves. When I eventually found the cache it was in a place I thought I had already checked. Note that you don't need to go into the cemetery! I have added a set of averaged coordinates from my Garmin 64s, hopefully these will help subsequent searchers. Signed log, TFTC

Another fun themed series by marisa&kaleb which made for an enjoyable morning visit to the area, a quick find thanks to the good co-ords.

TFTC

This was always going to be a bit of a caching trip in the company once again of HKCB. Having though about it and done a fair bit of planning over the past couple of weeks this was a chance for a reasonable clean out of an area that we don't normally get to. So with families in mind, rather than setting out on the Friday evening we left home at 2am on the Saturday morning to make our way south before either the heat of the day or there was too much traffic on the road.

Some stats for the weekend
- Distance Traveled = 1457 kms
- Petrol = 3 x Fills
- Time Away from Home = 42 hours
- Straight Driving Time = 6 hours
- Sleep = 4 hours
- Caches Found = 250
- DNF's = 3

So after a straight forward drive down here this was the first that we located of what was going to be a very long day, and followed by another very long day.

While I apologize that these are 'copy & paste" logs, I would just like to say thank you to all the CO's that have have put out and maintained these caches for us out of 'non-locals' to find. It was a great weekend and we traveled though some amazing countryside.
A key learning from the weekend was that a Mazda CX5 is not designed to ford rivers.
So thank you for the placement, thank you for the cache.

On a weekend mission with Cats&Dragons, for a bit of a numbers run along the new trails around the Northern Manawatu area, and anything else along the way. As usual these types of trips mean maximizing caching time and minimizing sleep time. So with a 2am start time Saturday morning we left home and headed South, and not getting back home til 8.30pm Sunday night. Some numbers for the trip as I know we all like caching stats are:
* 1450km traveled.
* 286 caches found (192 on Saturday, 94 on Sunday) with only 3 DNF's
* 4 hours sleep
* With a 3 hour each way drive to the Caching area, so about 32 hours of caching in the 42 hours we were away at an average of nearly 9 caches per hour, this isn't including stopping for fuel and coffee!!!

So a huge thanks to all the CO's for the placements, and for the reason to see some more of our wonderful country, we saw some pretty amazing places. Sorry for the copy and paste logs. We signed the log books HKCD, or HKCBC&D.

This was a tricky find, with the coords out a methodical search finally revealed the hide.

Found a likely spot with cover but it was devoid of a cache

Out and about on Wellington Anniversary Day with No1Son. Had done most of this series before but somehow missed this one all together so back today for a look. Waited for the rain to stop then having read the logs, checked what we thought were likely spots but we did not find. We did find a birds nest so thought we were on the spot - but no.

Will be back another day marisa&kaleb.

Quick find, interesting place. Tftc.

Took longer than should of as coordinates were way out for us here today but got there in the end. Tftc

Thanks

I much prefer finding, and viewing and seeing the country.

A blustery day but it's long since time we got back into caching after shifting into our new home. We love our home SOOOOOOO much it is hard to drag ourselves away from it - even to go caching! However, we recently purchased a new (second hand) geocaching wagon - 4wd Toyota Rush - in yellow to suit our geocaching name lol - that we simply had to get back I the game to justify the expensive purchase lol. If you see us out please give us a toot. We are not hard to miss now. So off we set, with mum - CNAH - to collect enough to get past that 2,000 magic number. We had a great afternoon with success at all but two. Disappointed to see that many had missing plastic bags to keep the logs dry - which we know Marisa would have put them in when laid. Sadly we had not brought any with us or we would have replaced them. A good run with not much traffic and grateful for the fact they had good areas to safely pull off. Many thanks Marisa & Kaleb for taking the time to place these which has helped us quickly boost our numbers.

This one nearly had us beat. The co-ordinates had us in the cemetery and we were uncomfortable and about to leave when we had yet another check on the other side of the cemetery fence. It was about 10m from where the co-ordinates wanted us to go but it was incredibly windy. Hubby found it lying on the ground. We logged it and put it back in the ...... nearest to where we found it. Hopefully it was the right thing to do. Will mention it to Marisa. TFTC

No joy for me here. My GPSr wasn't directing me anywhere that fitted the hint but I thought I conducted a good search of all the likely places.

I finished work at midday so decided to grab a few of this series before heading home. Like others before me, I too had thought this to be a private driveway but was surprised at what I found. I initially read the hint incorrectly because the screen protector had distorted the first letter and it looked like an 'r' which meant the hide options were endless. After 10 minutes of searching and wishing the hint started with an 'n' to make things easier, I eventually realised my mistake and found the cache soon after.
Thanks for the cache and the smiley.

This cache was attempted as part of the Palmerston North Power Leg of our "Road to 6,000" Extravaganza for 2016.

A quick find.

#5849

A nice early start this morning for tmann421 and I. A full day of geocaching ahead and making our way to the annual Rattl Christmas BBQ at lunchtime. Enjoyed this quick fun series and the back country roads not often travelled. TFTC and the series marisa&kaleb

This is what I enjoy about geocaching - these little hidden spots you would never find on your own.
Nicely kept and looks still used location, surprised there is no signs by the road.

SL TFTC

Got to log the finds for your series to find that I had not even loaded Gargamel and Snow White onto the GPSr so missed both all together - haha! Will grab on a later visit.

A nice shady spot to place a hide, TFTC!

Spent a pleasant couple of hours here this morning. Got pretty much all of the ones I planned to get. TFTC

Initially hesitant to drive down what looked like a private road but any thoughts about this were soon put to rest on arrival. tftc

What a nice resting place for Snow White I was a little uncertain about driving down here but what a lovely surprise a resting place for many TFTC

Today, along with D6NZ, we were attempting to get ruby in the "Daily cacher" feat by logging 120 caches in a single day.
There were a number of trails in the area that we had already eaten into, so while we could hit pockets we lost precious time travelling as we ventured to each new hot spot. Today we planned on west of Bulls, north of Ohakea, skirting Halcombe and Fielding, then topping it off south of Himitangi.

We seemed to miss a dwarf with Snow being our seventh find of the day.

Thanks M&K for the series.

Planned a days caching around a goal of logging 120 caches today to obtain a ruby feat. Unfortunately some of the runs available I had already eaten into during normal
caching days which meant I had to target a few trails with 50 or more minutes travelling time between them, chewing up precious daylight hours.
Left home at 6:30 got back well after 9pm. it was a long day.
I targeted three areas, Bulls, Feilding, and Himitangi.

In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs[edit]
Main article: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)
Snow White first appears in the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). In the film she is depicted as living under her wicked, vain stepmother, the Evil Queen, who forces Snow White to engage in menial labor, fearing that one day Snow White's beauty might become greater than her own. After many years, the Queen's Magic Mirror confirms Snow White as being the "fairest of them all", which causes the Queen to cast Snow White out and send a huntsman to kill her. When he refuses to do so, the huntsman helps Snow White escape into the forest. Snow White stumbles upon the home of the Seven Dwarfs, who happily aid her.
The Queen discovers that Snow White has survived and uses magic to disguise herself as an old hag and creates a poisoned apple that will kill, whoever that eats it will be put into "Sleeping Death" and only a kiss of true love could revive her. When the dwarfs are away the hag arrives at the dwarfs cottage and offers Snow White the poisoned apple, unbeknownst to her that it is the Queen in disguise. Snow White bites into the apple and falls into a coma. The dwarfs discovering what had happened track down the Queen; a short fight ensues and the Queen is killed. Believing her dead too, the dwarfs build an open grave for Snow White to rest on. Time passes and the Prince comes across Snow White. Saddened by her apparent death, he kisses her, causing her to awaken. As the Seven Dwarfs dance with joy, Snow White and the Prince go off to live togetherCharacteristics[edit]
Snow White is a princess,[6] and the fairest in the land. She is described by her stepmother's Magic Mirror as having "hair as black as ebony, lips as red as the rose, skin as white as snow."[7] Her voice is also the inspiration for that of Minerva Mink in Animaniacs.[citation needed] Though she is first seen in rags at the film's beginning, Snow White is most well known for her iconic dress with a blue bodice, puffy red and blue striped sleeves, an ankle-length yellow skirt with a self-sewn white petticoat and a high white collar. along with yellow shoes, a red cape, and a red bow in her hair.Snow White is innocent, kind, gentle, sweet, and cheerful.[8] Her generous, trusting[8] and helpful nature can cause her trouble, as other people might take advantage of it, such as her vain and evil stepmother.[7] Although she is sensitive and soft-spoken, she can be energetic and stern, such as when she told the Seven Dwarfs to wash their hands or when she scolded the birds for "frightening the poor old lady [the Queen disguised as an old peddler woman]".[7] Snow White is motherly, compassionate and delights in keeping house for the lovable Seven Dwarfs while she waits to meet her beloved prince again.[8] With her kindness and ethereal beauty, Snow White charms every creature in the kingdom except the Queen.[9] She also shows great resilience and an inner strength against adversity.Animators' initial sketches for Snow White's character, some of which bore a resemblance to Betty Boop, did not meet Walt Disney's expectations, as they were too cartoonish.[10][11] Hamilton Luske, whom Disney had selected as the supervising animator for Snow White's character, was tasked with the challenge of making Snow White more believably human and realistic than any of the Disney studio's previous animated characters. This was a challenge Luske and co-animator Les Clark had previously been asked to explore while developing the character of Persephone for the Silly Symphonies animated short The Goddess of Spring. Of that project, Les Clark later remarked, "I'm sure Walt was thinking ahead to Snow White."

A quick find while completing the Snow White, Smurf and Herb series. Thanks for the series. TFTC

#2717 More to follow.

In the area hunting down 200 plus finds today as a group, so finding trails was a great help for the goal.... we managed a cool 206 today final count, so target achieved.....

Signed in as SEAC to save logbook space.

TFTC.

In the Manawatu for the weekend with some caching buddies- Uncle Sam, NZTravellers, Stik-a-crane, HeMaLuDy. The goal was to find as many of the caches in the area as we could in the space of a day, and we all had a blast jumping in and out of the cars, racing each other to the caches, and laughing and joking along the way, and in we general had an awesome weekend down here.
After a while we started playing "musical cars"- and would race each other back to the cars in order to vie for prime position.... or just to pip someone else at the post..... it was rather hilarious, mainly because of the creative ways of piling into cars or sneaking in just before someone else when you knew they were aiming for that seat. One or two people may have accidently (or not so accidentally) have got sat on!!!!!

I never really got into the story of Snow White as a kid, but of course I am famliar with the story- who isn't? Snow White the cache was found safe and well, though!

Apologies for the generic/ cut and paste logs- as we did over 200 in 14 hours, it became quite difficult to remember individual caches after a while! I did enjoy this series though, and we had fun doing it
Log signed as Team SEAC (South East Auckland Crew) in order to save log space.
TFTC!

A group of us were down from Auckland for the weekend in order to complete some of the power trails in the area. Logs were signed with team SEAC to save space on the logs. Caching today with darthcacher1, purply, stik-a-crane, UncleSamNZ, NZTravellers, NewlynFam. We travelled to the furthest cache (basil) first and worked our way back to Bulls. A nice quick find here, helping us towards 140 caches in 13 hours (including 5 local FTF's). Thanks for taking the effort to place these power trails.

Our team from Auckland wanted to do a major day of caching, so headed down to Foxton area for a massive day. We got about 205.

Very sorry for the generic logs, but when doing so many in one day very hard to make notes on each.

But a big thank you to all the cache owners for putting out all of the great caches we visited.

Logs signed as either “Team SEAC” or “SEAC” – South East Auckland Crew.

A group of cachers from Auckland spent the weekend in the Manawatu. We went by the name of SEAC (South East Auckland Crew) had heaps of fun running around the district squashed into two cars. Thank you for the wonderful caches. TFTC!

We were out this way today participating in an orienteering event in Scotts Ferry forest, so we naturally had to fit in some geocaching.
The co-ords put us out by several metres here, but geo-sense and the clue put us right again. TFTC
Have never come across a whole cemetery just for one family before.

After spending the morning prepping my bathroom and laundry for painting, I decided to reward myself with an hour or two of caching. Decided to head to this new trail that went live yesterday. Sorry for the cut and paste logs, all caches were easy finds and coordinates were pretty much on the money. Thanks for the new trail.

We carried on down this little road to a quaint little cemetery. It would have been nice to have a bit more of a look around, but we were on a mission
We went through the gate & then realized we didn't need to, so back tracked to the most obvious spot to hide a cache.
Thanks for the new trail & another {FTF} with Popmac

Morning tea time - the phone birdie whistled ... Wow, 31 new caches in Bulls area. Quickly downloaded onto GPS and off. Morning tea not important at a time like this. Quickly found a blank log for Joint [FTF] with rattll's. Thanks marisa&kaleb for the cache & Seven Dwarfs Trail.
