A nice quick find. Good to see some familiar faces, and some new ones. Thanks for hosting your event.Ms_KR and I are cruising around town catching up on some newer caches.Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Latvians in New Zealand, aye!? Not often do I meet other Latvian geocachers in NZ. I do sometimes meet other Latvia s, who may have heard or even geocached themselves but no one this active on geocaching has ever been in NZ before, I think (well, except myself, of course).Bija fori satikties un parunt par slpoanu un ceoanu. T k uz alus eventu netieku, jo braucu ciemos pie austriem taj vakar, tad saorganizjm mazu privto alus eventu tiei pc .Lai veicas turpmkaj ce, un gan jau tiksies jnij/jlij kaut kur Latvij! Kia ora! Paldies! Thanks for the event, Matisons!!#10743

Thanks for organising, sorry I didn't stick around long. Hope you have a great time in New Zealand! Thanks for the event, I needed an event in May for a challenge so great to have that ticked off now.

I look forward to meeting you.

I think I'm working, but I'll see if I can sneak away

I might be able to attend this one.
