Down here for the Dunedin Geo Toroa Event from the sunny Bay of Plenty,Tauranga and are with some of Team BoP. Great to get together with our fellow cachers. Signed Logs MDF. (McJandals,Davidson clan & NZ Flossy)I am logging using the Cachly App and using their template option which helps with my memory for logging. I genuinely thank every CO for their time and effort put into these caches. Much appreciated. ??????

Clearing up a few local caches on our last day after the Mego. Quick find and TFTC Natalie 247[binliner](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=binliner) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA7N4X/77109 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap) Were here for Geo Toroa (Dunedin Mega). Between flight cancellations and re-routing, things could only get better, right? But wait, theres more! Somewhere on our caching escapades, I dropped my wallet Its still at large, so if anyone finds itOne of us usually drives, the other is the retriever. That works for us. Weve either logged caches with our separate handles, or weve used FANGS to sign the logbook. Using the latter handle is more for mental health and well being. Its tiring having to write 15 + characters on each logbookWeve experienced some of the most atrocious caching weather conditions this Mega weekend. So it was a bit of a bitter pill to swallow when the day dawned clear and bright Up early to pack our wet, muddy clothes and give the room and hire vehicle a quick spruce, and then we were out the door! Let the mad dash to the airport beginTrying to weave our way southward toward the airport, we spotted this nearby challenge cache - Challenge accepted:[squirrel nutcase](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=squirrel%20nutcase) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA7N4X/77109 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Some lazy Monday caching as I decide when I'll point the car towards Christchurch, which is home. Sweeping up some solved puzzles and a couple of others that I'm driving past.

When I arrived, one cacher was already there looking perplexed. I looked in some of the same places, and with my high-intensity flashlight, but nothing. Soon, another car pulled up with two more cachers. GZ was scoured carefully, but the cache was not found until the search was expanded a bit.Now we know what the second part of the hint means. TFTC.

Dunedin MegaQualification: I have checked Project-GC and qualify for this challenge. I have attended 123 CITOs. Out caching with GrimRaider and Joolay. GrimRaider, Joolay and I are in NZ for the Dunedin mega event. It is great to be back to see more of this beautiful country. Thanks for hiding this cool Challenge Natalie247

Annoyingly I had to miss the MEGA Cito due to travel issues but thankfully I still qualified for this challenge. I ended up nearby after solving a multi (but deciding the terrain was a bit too much for me today with my current injury and the rain). There was clear evidence of the recent rain and I walked through several streams of water. I was so confused by the hint and couldn't figure out what I was missing. It all made sense when I found it, haha very clever. Carefully walked back to my car without slipping over and it was here I was really wondering just how crazy we are us geocachers??!! I was already pretty wet and my socks and shoes had no hope of drying out. Fav point awarded for the clever container.

Outnabout with Chamad, Snickersallan, Ardom, Bluewattle, Gcoven & BenM70 on my first ever trip across the ditch. Log signed as QLD+1 to save some space. After a week of caching around Brisbane and at events last month with other Geo friends, I couldnt pass up the opportunity to hop on board for a NZ Mega adventure. Another great day for caching. ??

Day four of the GeoToroa Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and our better halves. After a couple of nights in Queenstown, arrived in Dunedin yesterday for the Mega weekend. Today started with the Mega Opening Event and a nearby LBH before we hit the road with McLookers and feathertop for the Aeroplane series, followed by some challenge caches as well as a few in the Albatross series along the way as well. The weather was not kind with steady rain as well as the occasional heavy shower as we made our way around some interesting terrain, including some quite wet, steep and slippery dirt roads.Signed the log for this cache and will claim a find once I can confirm that I qualify for the challenge.TFTC Natalie247

I easily qualify for this one with 18 CITO's. At first glance, nothing fitted the hint but it all became clear once we found the appropriately disguised cache. Found with Spoonz2

Thought I had been to more CITO's than I have, but 9 is enough to qualify. Found and signed with debsnz.

I easily qualify for this quacking challenge after attending 23 CITO events but unfortunately that didn't help me to find the cache today.

Pretty sure I qualify for this one...will use the PGC checker later tonight to confirm....Just checked my stats, and I will have done 5 by the time I get down for the Mega event in October.

Today was a ? dot day and one for today and one for tomorrow will mean that I've completed a month challenge. I chose an easy one to get to today because I really needed to rest up and this is more or less a park and grab. Nice container. I'm the second visitor for today.

A round about trip to get to GZ...parking up albeit next to yellow lines! Waited for a muggle to pass then honed in on the cache. Cool container, cache in good order.

Thanks for hiding this cache Natalie247 I appreciate it. ?? Nosynel has 23 finds (5 needed).Filters:( types (Cache In Trash Out Event) ) I actually haven't done many lately. A nicely themed cache container.

Stopped the car while doing chores. This looks familiar - a recycled container? Did an annual Cito for quite a few years - back when the Keep Dunedin Beautiful coordinator was helpful - but haven't logged attendance at the events we hosted.

Made a quick find after checking I qualified.

No surprises there...

We qualify for this challenge, although only just, and the nicely appropriate cache was a quick easy find, and gets a favourite from us. TFTC

Neither Napoleon_Solo nor I qualify for this cache yet. So, in accordance with the Rules stated on the page, we have signed the logbook and are posting here as a Note only. We will convert to a smiley when we qualify. The hint made sense once we had found it. TFTC.

Found with dad but we don't qualify yet so just posting a Note. We CITO at most caches we visit. TFTC.

Published

FTF at 5.23 just about to leave home to attend an event by CO when I saw this one published. On my way but still surprised to find an empty log. Definitely qualify for this cache
