Logs
What a splendid puzzle - so useful - now I know how many there are and where they are! At long last we made the effort to pick up the final. All good with the hide, dry inside.
Busy elsewhere and didn't notice this new GCA cache pop up. Some unfinished business on Signal Hill and I had been concentrating on clearing out zones somewhere further away so only by chance did I see another one-find-only cache on the map wheep! Used the helpful map to learn something new! If only there was a database for the thousands of power poles that need replacing, it would make armchair solving puzzles much more easier. Waltzed up to the GZ after parking the wagon at the handy turning area and could see the black Mob bison from several metres away. The last to find had actually popped the logscroll in the lid properly so no having to fidget with the knife to get the slip out. Signed log and re-screwed the cache back together. Thankyou for creating this new puzzle. Dragon zone weekly task day and lets see how many points I might garner, have a cool sticker.

Well it took just a few minutes to come up with workable coordinates after I saw this published and I'd like to say it was a quick find as well, because it should have been. I headed to GZ shortly after solving the puzzle and the skies opened up just as I arrived, so I stayed long enough to get soaked, looking everywhere except the obvious place and probably over-thinking things a bit before going home to dry off. Came back a couple of days later and found the cache quickly, just as I should have the first time. Thanks for the hide Uncle and also for my first FTF of a physical cache in NZ.
