#23461. Just as well our detour resulted in a find (a second DNF and Troodles would have been very grump). TFTC.

Today StreetWalkerNZ and I are travelling home to Christchurch after an enjoyable week caching in and around first Dunedin and then Invercargill. It's a long way to travel so we have to limit caching along the way.After failing to find the cache up the road, it was a relief to get this one (though did miss it on first pass). Also happy that the long grass separating us from the cache was dry. TFTC.

Evaross

Yay! Another one for today Tftc!

Day two of my road trip through Southland. Today's journey takes me from Invercargill back to Mosgiel. My rather indirect route goes by way of Riverton on to Tuatapere then through Winton, Mataura and Balclutha. With a final detour up to Middlemarch. Old School Challenge caches are the focus of the trip, but there's a few others to look for along the way as well.

I enjoyed doing this series. It certainly helped to give the days total a boost. TFTC

Thanks On to the next letter

Quick find while exploring with my family, TFTC

A nice quick find thanks. I completed all of the series today, 25 please Bob caches. (where is I? Hmmm looking back I found it in 2019!!)


Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. A day spent collecting smileys around and about Balclutha. It rained a wee bit about lunchtime, but it was a glorious day for caching!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Tftc cache in great condition

Kia ora for the cache

Today was the day I headed Nor-east out towards the other President locating and signing off a few caches.

Cheers for the cache.

Level 2 - geocaching allowed

On a geotour to celebrate Level 2. Tftc

As the country enters Level 4 (lockdown), https://covid19.govt.nz

It is strongly recommend that whilst we go for a walk for exercise, we need to take care on shared surfaces and geocaching should not be done at this time; https://wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/New+Zealand

To remove temptation, I am disabling this cache and ask kindly that you do not find this cache during lockdown.

Remember there is more than physically finding a cache, there are plenty of puzzle caches you can do at home. Or if you live near a multi you can walk the trail and save the find for another day. For more info or connect with wider community see Geocaching New Zealand on Facebook.

Stay home, stay safe and save lives.

Quick find as road got suddenly busy.

Cache 754 heading to Balclutha for a couple of days it was time to pick up some caches on the way so why not add some Letters to my list so I will have an L please Bob nice quick park and grab cache is in good shape T4TC

Found this one after going a little too far up the road.

TFTC

LOL got this one sorted. cheers.

Friday 13. Balcultha to Gore and back. Another long day with Gore on the agenda. But got sidetracked with back to basics with the ABC series. So lets hit the road!

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

For information on Geocaching during Covid19 in New Zealand please visit www.wiki.groundspeak.com/display/GEO/New+Zealand .

Note: geocaching is not allowed under Level 3 or 4.

Please note, not everyone logs as they go, so please approach this cache as if it has just been found, take care and keep up good social distancing and hand hygiene.

As the country enters a 4 week lockdown, it is strongly recommend that whilst we go for a walk for exercise, we need to take care on shared surfaces by avoiding them (this includes cache containers).... to remove temptation, I am disabling this cache. Remember there is more than physically finding a cache, there are plenty of puzzle caches you can do at home. For more info or connect with wider community see Geocaching New Zealand on Facebook.
Stay home, stay safe and save lives.

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. New Zealand is my 4th station traveling from south Christchurch to north Auckland, my first visit here, its far away. This is my sabbatical-cache #532.

Lodged in the fence so cool seeing all the names from like 2018!!

Easy find on the way to Dunedin, TFTC

Quick find on the way to Dunedin with the family, TFTC

Quick find hiding in the rain from passersby with headz123 and co , tftc first to find for the new decade yay happy new year .

After doing the needed work around home we decided as this was the only free day for a long time leta go and try to pick some clues for the mystery at the museum, but where to start so out with the trusty magnifine glass and with a little detective work come up with s person of interest.
So we decided to go and see Bob as we believe he may have some need info. After we talk to Bob we are now on the right track to find the jewels .
So first we needed to grab this cache ????? with a bit of detective work we the right info and got what was needed
Still alot of detective work needed but each clue is a bit closer to solving the case. But we are getting very close not long now and I think we will have uncovered what is needed
Heading out of town in hot pursuit of the last bits of the puzzle. Here's another bit of the puzzle back to Bob to get the last bits needed now do we have enough to crack the case???? Thanks Bob
Looks like we have got the treasure in site and are closing in
Log book all good
Thanks for the hide

tftc

Had to do a few jobs around home, and then the mission was accepted to find clues for the mystery at the musuem challenge.
We figured the only chap that might have answers might be Bob, so we then decided to head this way.
Great way to check out the big smoke of Balclutha
Tftc

Today on a road trip after the first week of the holidays . We were trying to find as many clues for the Mystery of the Museum.
Found with downsouthinv, annielin & loveheart900.

Headed down south a beautiful still autumn afternoon south which was new territory for me with CO to help with her maintenance run while convalescing in the car. Great way to find caches and check they are all okay. TFTC Natalie247

All good

Heading off on a random road trip, may end up at an event In Invercargill.
Thanks for this cache, Natalie247 - log all dry despite significant moisture in the containers.

out with the kids, no2 of the series

Heading home from holiday, saw these caches, had to gets these. TFTC

I decided to tackle this series today - having decided a couple of weeks ago I was rather annoyed when I suffered an accident yesterday which hampered my efforts a little. Nevertheless, I managed all twenty-six today!

This one took me a touch longer as the cache appears to have suffered a bit of cache creep. Still, found in good nick otherwise. Cheers!

A quick park and grab while out about grabbing a few caches down this way. A nice and easy find and on to the next one. TFTC

Thanks drove past this one on the way up this road so stopping on the way back to collect it.
Traveling down to Gore to my uncles memorial service so left early so I could cache on the way.

We found it after a long day at cross country was a nice distraction me and my daughter are loving this treasure hunt

Found while chauffeuring Ruru_nz and getting some driving practice.

On a road trip, chauffeured by Saethwr as she gets some more driving experience. This is a good run to get further on my quest to find the world turtle.
Convenient parking here, thought we might have trouble and have to catch it on the way home, but didn't. Wiped out the outer container.
Thanks for the smilie Natalie247.

Having a day out and picnic in the clutha area. Enjoying the winter sunshine. Again going to places never visited before. Thanks to all cache owners.

Found it. Tftc

Found with Kiwinutter - hunting for more hidden creatures - this time in the dark!

Nice n easy in the dark!

Dakotacats and I decided to make a full day of caching in the area and one of our main targets was this A - Z series. We found all caches in this series and enjoyed the different roads and scenery along the way. TFTC

4Clubs and I spent an enjoyable day caching in the area. We found all 26 of the Blockbuster series, and we travelled on roads we have never travelled on before. Thanks for putting this series out Natalie, we had fun.

Quick dash and cache. tftc

Our first find of this series. Looking forward to the rest of them! Thanks

Looked in wrong angle to start. Lovely view of Kuriwao tftc

quick find on a slight diversion on my way home tftc

Out for a frosty day of caching

Good thing I finally got this one!

A quick find today while travelling through, this was the first in this series for us. We will enjoy trying to track all of these down over the next few weeks/months. TFTC [^]

Down South for a geocaching day trip with the main intention being A - Z please Bob. Started this series with A but then all order was lost! A fun series which was very much enjoyed. TFTC Natalie247 and the time and effort for this series which many of us feature in

Haven't been on a caching "dawn raid" for ages! Set off before sun-up to clean up the Blockbuster A-Z series. Early on Easter Monday proved an excellent time to do so as, away from SH1, there was just nobody around. On way home the traffic was heavy heading south out of Dunedin. Apparently some second-rate musician had done a few concerts over the weekend in town, which generated a few visitors. All 26 A-Z caches found, plus another at Kaihiku Falls. All the side-roads were pretty much new to me so that was a bonus. Apologies to the CO for the generic cut and paste logs for most of the series but when you're "speed-caching" the whole thing becomes a bit of a blur. Thoroughly enjoyable outing. TFTC.

First of the alphabet. Good challenge would be to get them all alphabetically. Tftc

Full log to come.
Was found in a lower position.

Took a monent

Hoping my notes and memory coincide here - lots of lovely looking rolled hay rounds sitting in the paddock and hopefully no trucks will arrive to pick them up as I'm parked right in their way. In and out without incident. TFTC # 12,015

After a few days in Te Anau I've got the time to do these P and G's on the right hand side of the main road.

Another stop, another satisfying find, really enjoying being passenger and taking in the countryside.
Thanks
erninz

Great day out caching in the area, lot of neat caches, and interesting spots. many thanks the cache - Bitsprayer

Cache all good. TFTC

A quick easy find as we started off on this slightly different series. We replaced the cache on the ground, where we found it, as it didn't seem to wedge well into the hint location. TFTC

TFTC - time to grab a few new caches on my trip home from Dunedin - thanks for placing Natalie
Quickly found

Great wee find, was out and about with my wee geocacher and found this one easily. Tftc
