Time for this to go to the great sistema factory in the sky...

Please check on this cache. The plants have been mowed back and the cache appears to be missing. Thanks.

Greetings from West Sacramento, California! Papa EGTH and I are on Day 12 of our 19-day New Zealand caching honeymoon and our today's route took us from Invercargill to Dunedin. We focused mostly on picking up some very old caches and also stopped for some others along the route.

We stopped here so I could get a photo of the horses and then I noticed that there was a cache here also. Well, there USED to be a cache here. The plants have been sheared back and other cachers before me have also DNFed it. Please check on this one. Thanks.

Have done some cutting back of the tussock don't think it is there

The tussle here had been trimmed we found the lid of a 500 ml system a container and broken prices of the matching container but that is all. Will need attention by cache owner.

Father daughter day. Lovely spot to take photos. Easy find ☺

On our way from Mossburn to Dunedin today and coming to the end of our southern holiday. a couple more horses here than last time and dont they look awesome!! Another spot on the trip that mum had already said she reckons could be a cache here. And she spotted this one 2. Very cool spot for a cache. Another missing TB tho but having found 2 earlier on wasnt too gutted about it. Cheers for the cache here and a good photo spot opportunity.

Out on a caching date with AT for a day. The weather did not look ideal, but it worked out to be perfect for caching since all the 'normal' people stayed inside, leaving us to our enjoyment. A big thank you to all the CO' for giving us hours of entertainment!!!

I was so pleased to finally sort this one after repeated unsuccessful visits!!

Great night for a walk

Coordinates out by about 15m, so had to use the hint. Without it would have been very difficult. TFTC

Have been by here before and could not find it. Today a quick find. Tftc

Our 2nd day out and about and this is one of a few we found - so much fun! TFTC!

Great drive by

Together with Schneehex I had the great chance to tour the wonderful country New Zealand for a full month and so we came to this cache in the region Otago.

Schneehex had to climb up to take a picture of her riding

Thanks to stegan for bringing us here!

Together with kpalser I had holidays in New Zealand from early December to January 2015. We enjoyed this beautiful country so much!

Thanks to stegan to show us a bit of this country here in %custom_County!

Found it

The location didn't really fit the hint but quickly found on our trip home. TFTC

Nice find good location tftc

Found on the move, Dunedin to Invercargill road trip with detours on a magnificent balmy spring day.
Pleased to be making the find and registering the 2007 origins of this cache. Enjoying the history with the longevity.
Cache find was straightforward - sort of, a bit of hunting and scrabbling about, log signed; cache then safely re-hiden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Scrambled around. Found in the end. TFTC

Easy find forba fresh air stop. Thanks.

After a night with relies at Balclutha and seeing the weather wasn't as bad as the forecasters promised, we set forth for a day trip to Gore! Mostly a caching related trip, but Mrs W wanted to catch up with some friends there so off we trot.
A quick first find of the day, nice display.

Got to sit on the horses. Found with SpyDude13. TFTC.

Found with Lollipopcat. TFTC.

The successors to horse and dray thundering though while I signed this cache. #2 today.

Found this one in the dark on Sunday night. No muggles that time of day. Tftc

An unexpected chance to get it replaced materialised. Hint still same. Tucked under a tussock near the slab. Now a 400mL sistema.

Not past here very often anymore, likely this will be archive.

Have known about this one for a while but usually in transit to dunedin. Stopped today, got nice photos of kids on horse but no geocache to be found. Might need some maintenance since all the did not finds lately.

Had a good hunt around for this one but couldn't find it. Looking at the log it's been a while since the last find. Might need checking on.

Is this cache at this spot? no luck today.

Had a good look here but no, but did get muggled by friends from Cromwell.

Had a good look around and no sign of it....

No luck on this one

Looked for quite awhile but area covered in rubbish and broken bottles, plus some undescribables!!

No luck on this one

Did not feed the horses

Maybe a bit too exposed to potential muggle activity..

this one keeps eluding me...

GPS had me well away from hint placement, and when the first thing I saw in the hint area was broken beer bottles, I gave up.

Couldn't find, had a good hunt but lots of empty beer bottles and thistles doesn't help

Found it. It had just been thrown over the back . But hid again

Bought an ice cream from the shop along the road, then on to find the cache before hitting the road again. Found with debsnz

Hint proved very helpful. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

A quick find in the hustle & bustle that is Clinton!! The snow, sleet and hail dictated we stop for a break but the Cache wasnt very well hidden, so we hid it where it was meant to be.
cool wee spot. [:0)

Found this cache on the trot. Being able to park but a few meters from the hide, there was no problem retrieving the cache and signing the log.

During our visit in beautiful New Zealand, we have naturally sought some caches. There were many memorable impressions on our trip and showed us some caches the New Zealand off the beaten path. You have a wonderful country! We thank all Ownern for the cache and send best regards from Germany, Saxony, Leipzig 2 Supermuggels

TFTC 1st find of a cold morning

Nice easy roadside cache. Got to see the horseys up close. No travel big here though.

Haven't geocached for a while so it was good to get back into it:) Cool spot!

Couple of random caches thrown into our fishing trip with Castlewood Crew. TFTC

First on a fishing trip. Like the placement these are some awesome equine:) TFTC

TFTC quick stop cheers

We were on our way from Otago Peninsula to Te Anau and since one of the younger Trail Blaisers had to go wee, we opted to stop in Clinton. I noticed this cache on the radar and we made a little longer stop. A pleasant surprise was finding the TB in the cache. Also enjoyed the "Presidential Highway, Clinton - Gore" sign!! TFTC! #3440

nice horses cheers

Found with Nzbirder

TFTC

My first find ?? , nice and easy.TFTC.

Came back out to the state hwy after going inland to Gabriels Gully and Gore. Saw the horses and had to take a look. Guessed there must be a cache here and found it pretty quickly. Just remembered tonight (2 1/2 months later) that we hadn't logged our visit as we had no cache name etc. A quick search on the net and cache found, again. TNLN TFTC
