A quick find, as you would expect.
Another well painted power box. Good to see this happening all over the place, there is a real push in Blenheim to beautify them as well.
TFTC flanell11.

Second day in Christchurch on an extended holiday. Caught up with both sisters and my niece in the morning, including some retail therapy, but with everyone else working I get a few hours to trundle around Christchurch in a random manner picking up caches.
Thanks to all the COs.

StreetWalker and I both needed a couple of finds today to bring our find tally for 8th April to 26 (and a darker colour on the stats grid). We decided to go for a drive after work, while it was still light, to find this and another utility box cache as this type of hide has been given the thumbs down by the PTB.
Definitely not another green electrical box, and very cool art work to boot. SW made the find, and I signed the log book (and made a hash of it as didn't have my glasses on and couldn't see what I was writing). Took longer to replace the log book. TFTC.

#16482. Given the recent edict banning NZ caches from power / utility boxes, and given we were keen to get another couple of finds for April 8, we decided to head out for a spot of early evening caching. This was the second find of two tonight. Then it was time to head off to The Tannery for a well earned bite to eat. TFTC.
 
26-Mar-19
After a while, we got it... mpf... We start our NZ holiday in Christchurch. Between a sight seeing tour we took some caches. This is one of them. Tftc!

To keep up with my personal challenge of achieving a minimum of 10 caches finds per day I needed to find 4 caches today. From viewing a map of my unfounds I decided that today's task would be best served by concentrating on 4 inner city caches. And I could be able to get them on my bike too. Cool

After parking the cachemobile in Shirley it wasn't long before I was wizzing down Stanmore Road en-route to the 4 caches. This one was quickly found and signed (still room for more signatures). Well, this cache completes my caching task. Time now to head back north and home for lunch. TFTC flanell11.

What to do while waiting for your new tyres to be installed? Take a walk and find some nearby caches! Stopped by here on the walk, and made the find. Excellent box art here, and a quick wee find.

7771. Out and about on the bike after a weekend of nausea. Trying to clear away the cobwebs! Checked out some of our caches and found three others. This was number two for the day and another easy one. Funny how nobody takes any notice if you are on a bike, but always look if you are in the campervan! Thanks for the cache. Rodney.

2nd look. Waited until after dark this time and were rewarded with the smiley. Not sure how I missed it last time. Never mind. These lovely painted boxes are quite common round here - better check out the other ones. Do you know the saying that inspired this? A man needs a woman like.... (not sure I agree with it though Wink ). Tftc

Quick find at the non green box we filled the second last spot in the log.cheers!

It is sometimes amazing how much time you can spent around these boxes - regardless of the colour. This one was the exception - not green and a quick find. TFTC
 
27-Feb-18
Out for an afternoon stroll with a friend - walking the dog and picking up a few caches. Love the design on this box, TFTC Smile
