#4220 Today is day 36 of my geocaching vacation in New Zealand. The weather looks nice, and it's warmer as well. Today, my goal is to get a geocache in Gisborne region and make it back before the road closure.This was not part of the plan. I was going for [Bridge Pillar (Gisborne)](https://coord.info/GC1R48C). As I parked the car and walked to that cache, I saw a person pissing under the bridge. It might have been where the cache was. So, I continued walking to get this one first in hopes he would leave when I walked back. This one was an easy grab.Rubbishparty, thank you for the cache! -crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan on November 5, 2024 @ 17:47:15[GC9TTMQ] First to see the light was a D2.0/T1.0 Micro Traditional Cache at the time of finding.
Day 3 of our epic Auckland to Napier and return caravanning road trip during the school holidays. Only passing thru, heading to Mahia freedom campsite. Easy find with miniAG. TFTC. Didn't have a pen with us (at lunch) so took a photo.
My first find in Gisborne. I had phone trouble. A quick find once I believed the GPS. Thanks
Really enjoying these caches. Some very creative cache holders. Super fast find, but did do a bit of hand flapping thanks to what felt like destroying a spiders home... (sorry!!) Cache retrieved, signed, replaced. Sadly spider will have to rebuild. 
A day trip from Napier to get some East Coast caches towards a Challenge cache in Tasman. I found a park and went for a walk around the City finding a cache or two and doing the two AdLab stages. An enjoyable way to spend an hour in the sunshine . Cheers and TFTC
An easy find cache in good condition, lost my oen so photo of log taken as proof tftc
Quick find on our way to farmers market! Trackable we have been trying send on adventures didn't fit!
Second find in Gisborne, heaps of runners about, but nobody seemed to care what we were doing! A nice easy find here, I like the container - haven't seen one exactly like this before. TFTC!
Another nice little cache hide, found on the way home from the beach on the scooter. TFTC
This was the second cache I found on my walk around Gissy.
Directly in my path on my way to the first adventure lab waypoint over the river.
An interesting name, it reminds me why I wanted to come here in the first place and one day upon my return, a summit at hikerangi (sunrise?)
So this cache Would have become my most easterly found cache on the planet...
...if only a curious nearby bridge didn't sit a slight shuffle closer.
This was a quick find along a path I'd like to see in daylight.
Thanks Rubbishparty for showing me more of gisborne with a geocache!

On the way over the bridge, got a little side tracked getting a cache or two more. Didn’t take long to locate thanks to hint. Tftc
Summer Geocaching Road Trip - Day 3 - Palmerston North to Gisborne - definitely put the road in road trip today. It's been a while since I've been off on a road trip and this one has been on the cards for quite a while. I plan to visit some parts of the country where I've done very little caching before and hope to complete the qualification for a challenge cache in Nelson. Very appropriate cache to find for my first cache in the Gisborne leg of my road trip. TFTC, Biggles.
I was fooled by the light, but then I got a bright idea and found it easily. TFTC!
Easy find, heaps of muggles around and yet still able to grab it and put it back discreetly, thank you <3
B got to this one first. Easy to extract without attracting attention. TFTC Rubbishparty!
On a short wander before meeting COs for dinner. Quick find of the clever hide, thanks Rubbishparty!
We were sitting at a nearby bench reading past logs when it dawned on us where it probably was. Looked towards the possible GZ to notice a fellow cacher putting back the container. Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat.
Cache quickly retrieved and log signed.
TFTC.

Quick find, cache signed and returned to its location. Locket early morning walk on the circuit tracking down other caches. Interesting learning about the shortest River.
Nice hide. Quick find - once I followed the technology. Silly me and my crummy assumptions. TFTC. And greetings from Oregon.
Cache is in good shape.

We almost couldn’t handle this search, but knew we had to get a grip, very cool spot!
Pretty easy find on a lovely day. Not many people around at the time we were there. TFTC!
