First find after long illness. Thank you!

Well thats interesting

After doing the remaining Shield caches (apart from the DNFs and the one the CO doesn't want to replace), I found I still had plenty of time in the day so took the wriggly line back to Palmerston North.Last time I was here I came via the road closest to the cache, but there was no route into the industrial area(?) from there. This time I was smarterer and took the further road. That worked and soon I had the cache in my hands. Man this place is empty on a Sunday!---I had a rough day at work last Thursday and came up to stay with some good friends in Palmerston North on a whim just to get away from it all. To run away, in effect. And that meant a good opportunity to finish the Shield series. I must admit it is a fantastic tour of the back roads.

Awesome find !!! Saw my last login from 2yrs ago!! Crazyyy

Very Clever well done !

very cute place to hide it

Somewhat easy

Going for March Equinox, nice day to go for a drive, quick to find no.2TFTC

Great spot. TFTC.

Thank you great spot

Windy and wet but couldnt find it

Was with jphunt2 could not find

A nice quick find. Not too many trucks parked nearby. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are on the road again, up "North" to visit family an friends. Today was a drive up to Taupo, with only rain as we drove around the Lake.Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Quick find at gzTftgc

Awesome find

Quick find with kilo2bravo

Up to Palmie for the CO's Coffee Time event today and barefootguru and I decided to team up for a bit of Palmie caching. We had been out for a bit and were just starting to think it was time to head back to my car - but there's always time for 1 or 2 more! Nice simple find here today, thanks Popmac - good to see you again today.

Quick find while clearing out this little area with Itchyfeet2020, thanks Popmac!

Another quick find for SuaineAlien. Be interesting to see how built up this area will become in the next few years. Log signed and cache returned. Tftc

Windy

Another quick find here, the cache was full, so I placed a RTR log in, tftc Popmac

My son found this one he remembered the other one down the road lol.

It's day twelve of this months Wheel of Challenges challenge, the streak, and what a day it has been. I got up at ridiculous o'clock and cached my way up to Palmerston North with very careful planning to make my arrival time coincide with the earliest of the possible publish times of a daily series that is appearing there (as it happened, todays one appeared an hour later than I was hoping). I then drove around Palmerston and almost half the way back to Wellington as I chased down a variety of caches that were on my todo list. This was one of them.

Fortunately it was all quiet here today on a public holiday. The cache was found with no trouble at all.

Thanks to Popmac for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches.
Found with Fisha1288
Cheers, Cympull.

Clever find. TFC

Found it

#12,865. I was heading up to Feilding but diverted here to find these two caches. This was a quick find as I know these types of hides. There were pied stilts feeding on the wet field close to the cache. Signed the logsheet and replaced the container as found. Thanks Popmac for hiding it here.

Nice find

found

Love the concealment. Log in great condition. TFTC

Super easy TFTC

Logs needs replace very wet

This log book is sopping wet and unusable. Other logs are fine.

Nice. A bit tricky.

Found it! Did not log it as the bag and log was wet- took a photo instead. Happy hunting

Found awhile ago but forgot to log. TFTC

Found it!

Out dithering in town so took the long way home to grab a few caches out this way

Haven’t found a cache like this, log was nice and dry

Good find! Similar to the others in the area. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found it

This was amazing to find and look at all the dates

Quick find

Nice easy find, particularly after you find the others nearby.

Flying into Palmerston North airport today making my way to Levin to conducting training for our customers night shift. Flew in early so I could cache on the way through to Levin before staring the training late afternoon.

On a roll now. Found easily.

TFTC! Found the one down the road same hiding spot! Log a bit damp but still fine thanks!

Easy now

Another cache find on the way back home to Marton. Parked alongside and soon spotted the cache in a style and container once used extensively in Whangarei CBD area.

After a whistle-stop trip to Hawkes Bay on Saturday for a couple of Geotour placements, followed by a day in the garden with chores to be completed and some lawn enhancements begun, which may yet turn out to be bigger than the chariot driving Benjamin Hurr. I was determined to attend an Anzac Day service too, and picked Colyton as being a viable destination, and my attendance in the improving weather was both moving and solemn.
Followed this observance with a trip to a call the troops event in Palmy and after that I picked off a few random caches, as well as completing stages on three previously started Ad Labs, and beginning and ending a fourth one. So just the one left in Palmy, for now. Thanks to all COs fore their hides today, the weather was awesome and a good day to be out and about.

Quick, easy find . Love the creativity here.

Thanks

3 quick finds in my lunch break. Thanks

you think they’d make it different to the other one in the area

In Palmy for the day, so great to get a few caches here. A nice quick find, but a odd area with boy racers.

Good to grab some more caches on my way through. Tftc

**14,583**
Another nice quick find before we must ultimately start heading in the direction of home. TFTC

Needed mums help

I made a day trip up to Palmerston today to gain some altitude in the November stage of the "Reach the Peak" challenge. I've decided that with the current Level structure we are in to complete each climb as early in the month as possible. No worries here. TFTC

Fortunately it was a quiet Sunday morning in the are making the caching much easier, Was with Crystal Fairy as we headed up to Palmerston North for a weekends caching. TFTC

Due to the postponement of the Auckland Mega, Buttels and the Crystal half decided to use the dates planned for the event to do some caching between Wellington and Palmy. Much quicker find than the last one. Thanks for the cache

How cool! TFTC

Cute!

Quick find after work. Day 114 of our streak. Cache and log all fine. Thanks Popmac.

2nd magnetic one! Also a nice one!

Sensing a theme! Tftc!

(Count #) Day trip to Ashhurst and environs. A successful day caching. A quick find when the area was very quiet. Thanks for bringing me here.

Interesting new work happening around this area. Tftc

Very sneaky!! My partner in crime was well confused!

Really cool find, partner found it, would have never guessed to check there

i see a theme here, at least this one i could reach without help, tftc

Nice easy find

I was around the corner doing some shopping and decided to grab a cache or two on this very very hot afternoon on the way home.
This was the first cache of the afternoon and as I had found another couple of caches near here I was pretty certain I knew what the hide would be.

Headed out this way while waiting for appointment. Quick park and grab find at GZ. Signed log and left as found.

Thanks for placing this cache here Popmac.

Replaced log book.

TFTC, log book full!

Glad id seen that kind of thing before. Couldn't quite fit my name in

Glad we did the other one first... Easy when you know the style... Needs new log book its full tftc

Great hide. Log book fill now tho

I seem to have seen a few of these cache types over the past week. No problems here although there were more people at work than I would have expected - not everyone has packed up for the year.

A quick afternoon jaunt out this way with Popmac to find a few caches.

Cache number 4212

Found it

Good find

Nice

Good find

Thanks for this cache, lots of trucks in the area. My great nephew would be impressed with them all.

Easy find.. needs replacement bag and log tho..

As soon as I spotted the object my gps was leading me to I had a pretty good idea what the cache hide might be and sure enough!

TFTC

A quick and easy find.
Lots of trucks parked up, but no people.
Nice hide.
Thanks.

Love these ones

Day 1 of my 2020 NZE (New Zealand Experience).

On the day that I had intended to be at the Sussex Mega in the UK, I flew down to Chch for the start of a couple of weeks of touring around the South Island instead. I have been lucky to see a lot of the South Island many years ago, but now I will get to see it through the eyes of a geocacher this time

Today was less about caching than it was about getting there and spending time catching up with a friend, but there's always time to grab a cache or two, and seeing as today was a dot day I decided to get this one on the way to the airport.

This was an easy find, thanks to having found quite a few of these type before. Everything was replaced exactly as found before heading off to catch my flight.

Thanks for placing this cache.

TFTC

Quickly identified having found a few of these. Thanks

Tftc!

After a quick park 'n' grab at Cul-de-sac 2, and a DNA at Cul-de-sac this was another quick straight-forward find in the dark. You're killing me Popmac with the use of these hide devices! I so need one. Signed log in the car, replaced (with a more powerful magnet as I dropped the original one in the dark of the car), and continued with my original plan to find GC2K6EF Wild Horses. TFTC

Tftc

Find number three tonight, log bag may be missing a component as was quite loose otherwise all Is good TFTC

TFTC

Quick find after finding another in this series. TFTC!
