The cache is gone and as I hope to be leaving soon to live in the UK for a couple of years have decided that I won't replace it.

Bugger, I read in the local rag today that the trees here are going to be firewood-i-fied and the whole thing redeveloped. It looks like it's happened already.

I will go out this week and check the cache

The obvious hiding spot is impossible with the hint, but other spots may have gone... Some trees in the area are now firewood, we just wonder whether the cache was part of it. But maybe try next time (or someone knowing the cache can check it out)

Easy find between the cars.TFTC

Nice cache, nearly missed it.

Cheers.

The really interesting thing about this cache for me was the last 3 finders (including me) are Nelsonians. There's a fair bit of compettition up there TFTC (621)

A nice area for meandering and caching gave an extra reason for being out and about. Had fun exploring an area we hadn't been around before. TNLN TFTC

Tried hard to figure out the reason for the cache name, and failed. But did find the cache - thankfully . TFTC.

Welcome to Leeston. Muggled by cows.

Nice quick drive by

Nice little cache on the back roads. TFTC!
Cheers,

Quick find. Still on the heels of GSVNoFixedAbode this morning. I wonder if I'll catch him at a cache further up the road? T4TC

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

I spotted this one easily. Sevren was still trying to look for it

I feel like just a blind companion today as Classielass seems to be drawn to the caches on this little trip. Easy placing for the find all the same TNLN TFTC easy placing all the same

Reasonably quick find, good cache.

Easy find in a nice part of Canterbury country side TFTC

Good one TFTC

Fairly quick find on a nice day.
+ nothing
- nothing

A nice little hide, found quickly, TFTC, cheers.

This one has been sitting in the GPS for a year now and it is nice to find this and delete it out of the system. A quick find. Thanks. Hatas

Found on way up to ChCh. TFTC!!

Found quickly and easlily on our way home to Dunedin.

Somehow failed to load this one into my GPS unit but Georgia and I still found it with the written info that we had. We took a coin and left a toy tank. Thanks Witchy

Found it eventually

Nice cover from the road, although I was very surprised that it wasn't hidden under the nearby cordyline! Cheers Gav [1852]

Mrs S.t. go this one, the tree makes nice shade on a hot day
Cheers,

#1088 When I saw the name of the cache I couldn't envisage where it came from. When I got there the significance was clear. TNLN DS8300

Decided to stop by and drop off the I Love Australia TB, in the hopes of some friendly Aussie tourists taking him home.

Nice little find... now know where the name comes from

Ryrager & Amethyst

A nice easy find. Didn't understand the name until I was driving away, nice one.

Good stroll from previous on Christmas Day. TFTC.

Cache was quite visible from a distance, covered it up but this wind will likely undo most of my efforts

TFTC

Found it! TFTC.

Busy place, got som stares from passing cars. Great day out. TFTC

Easy find on a beautiful day!! Left buzz lightyear toy and a monkey. Took calculator and a toy car.

Was a good spot to stop t eat our ice creams. The dairy in town does very nice ones for a good price. Found the cache without any bother and without losing an eye.

I was working in Leeston today and had just been talking on "kiwicaching.com" about the lucky people that get to travel out of town for work and get the chance to sneek in a few caches while out of their normal caching area. Well I was here so I did! But don't tell the boss This was a nice quick on so didn't hold me up too long. TFTF. No trading today

Pull to a stop, a quick scruffle and there it was. Thanks for the cache. TNLN SL.

My speciality - they call me tarzan. Thanks. SL.

Our ninth find on a Labour Weekend cache drive. Another good spot. Stopped for some honey too!
+ Badge & something
- badge and charm

Yes a nice easy find while out night time caching in the rain with rincewind3,Thanks

Isn't rain a wonderful muggle suppressant? A nice easy, though wet, find. Not the most obvious spot, either, which made for a nice twist.
- Earrings (a reward for my wife's FTF this morning, lol)
+ geocaching.com wristband

This was a close call just about drove past the dam thing.

Thanks Bitsprayer

Have been meaning to do this for ages - drive past it nearly every day. Managed to park to make it look as if we were enjoying a bit of sunshine. Took blue tea cup to add to our collection - left calculator. Second cache of the day.

Nice quick find. Pretty damp day. -Coin. Thanks.

Third success out of three so far what a beautiful day to go geocaching.
Was in second place I looked.
Took photos as people drove past.
- Ice Rose Geocoin
+ Butterflys Micro Geocoin

Found it at the same time as someone else. First time running into other cachers! Well, to be exactly honest, they found it.

An easy find. Found One-Fang approaching from the opposite direction.
Left Geocoin. TFTC.

1561. Had our grand-daughter out for a ride today so naturally we did some caching. This was a quick find as we drove round.
- bracelet + compass
Thanks
Iris & Rodney & Stella

A nice easy find on a ?short? detour on my way home to Greymouth from ChCh. Thanks for the cache. - Geocoin.

[Lucky me - just happened to be passing through that way on a rainy morning. Cache duly beta-tested. You wouldn't believe it, but at 8:10am I had quite a problem with a string of walking muggle schoolkids on their way to school - I pretended to study the ]rocks[. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(901)]

Even if I hadn't been babysitting this morning it is doubtful I would have beaten Grandalf to be FTF. Left a geocoin.

Raced out after work but beaten again, twice. Took a bit of time to wait for a gap in the homecoming traffic to replace the cache. -coin. Thanks.
