Scenic Extravaganza (West Coast) Greigs, South Island, New Zealand
By jake the muss. on 16-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19DZV

Oh bugger we were going to get it on Tuesday. Wonder if someone will adopt it.

Archived as to many caches to maintain

Cheers

Jake

Thanks mongyspeed TFTC

Im assuming from the previous logs we found it as we found the screw top container for now boarding but there was no log book inside and were we found ground zero the bank has slipped away so the scenic extravaganza might not be there anymore?????

Tried to FTF this one at the time, and had to leave it as the $&*()#@$ cars and camper vans kept coming at a steady rate. Not so today in the pouring rain - with a lot of help from Mr KE, I managed to put this one behind me. TFTC.

Like previous log, we found the small scrue top container, where was no logbook.

Took about 5 minutes to find this cache, was water logged. And also couldnt see anything to sign our name? Wasent sure it was the right cache as it had a different name 'Now boarding', was this caches name changed at some point? Done without GPS!!! Cheers TFTC

There is a lot of work going on with the bridges here, cache may have been disturbed? Might need a check.

Spent about 5 minutes and felt we were getting nowhere. Reading all the logs and having the alternative coordinates might have helped. We will try again next time on the Coast.

Quick find, this spot is certainly a scenic extravaganza.

Found this cache with my personal travel bug Ice Age Scrat along our 3 moths trip around the whole New Zealand,

Had a walk across the old bridge, but GPS was continuing to indicate the middle of the river, and we felt sure this would have been incorrect due to safety concerns (mainly not too many cachers can fly) - had to give it away and head up the coast for other caches were calling.

This was an easy one!
Actually we were just trying to explain a new friend how Geocaching works and he spotted it immediately.

Beautiful gorge. Found it easily. TFTC

This little thing took me quite a while to find – about 15 minutes!
But finally I made it, yeah!

Time: 11:45am.

We stopped twice, but couldn't find it. Any other clou?

Friend directed me to the general area and found it after quite a bit of hunting! Great spot, very well hidden TNLN, TFTC

Clever hide, river was a clay coloured torrent after the rain.
Thanks

Took a few minutes to hunt down used Balded Coords.

Thanks Bitsprayer

A bit of a scratch around the place and was about to give up when I spotted something not quite right - the cache it was. An interesting thing to be under when a truck went over! TNLN Thanks.

Found it. We used Bald Eds co-ordinates and they put us right on it. Good hiding place! TNLN

Only had a short time to look and to many spots so have to log a DNF another hint would help, thanks.

GPSr signal a bit variable (due to nearby cliffs no doubt) but felt the co-ords might be about 20m out despite that. Took a bit of looking before I found it. A well done hide.
Many thanks.

Initially I went to the published coords but this didn't really tie in with the hint. Once there was a break in the traffic flow the cache was a quick find. My coords are S42 20.254 E171 15.877.

Followed the GPSr, roamed around for a few minutes and the GPSr homed in on the same spot repeatedly, climbed down and smelled the all too familiar smell of human poo... Ran to the car and drove off... After reading the logs we realize that we were not searching in the right spot.

Found this one while out exploring with 7/7ths of The Grady Bunch. Grady #4 made the find for us all. TNLN TFTC

Good Cache found after a bit of looking.77 of the Grady Bunch found this one.

2nd time looking and i found it! Easy location, just easily overlooked!

Cheers Flynn.

Nice hiding spot, but coordinates seemed a bit out. TFTC

1st of six that were done today. Much easier searching for this in the daylight. Spotted in seconds. TFTC

Fantastic little valley. Would be great to go exploring further up, but no time today.
Nice little cache, picked it up while moving to the second part of the Coast Road Cruise multi cache.

My second visit to this one. Pohutukawa spotted it.

Spotted this one as my dad was giving up on his search.
Thanks for the cache.

Our GPS was insistant the cache was over there not near the obvious place at all. After some consideration while traffic passed by we forgot about the GPS and ducked for cover. Cache was found on the other side just when we were running out of hiding space. A double milk tanker does not leave much room linning up and over the bridge. TFTC

Found quickly and if our opinion counts then FTF goes to those that first signed the log, which would make us 2nd to find. A log unsigned is a cache not found in our book. Nice bridge. TFTC.

Dodging the continuous Easter traffic was getting to be a real pain, and in the end walking away without a find was too. Didn't like not finding this one, and having seen what happens to the bridge when cars drive over it (from underneath) I'm not sure I want to go over it again . Maybe next time?

Found it, but is this a FTF or a STF? The logbook was indeed empty, so I was the first to write my log in it. I think the owner has to decide about it.
There were four, not three, trinkets. I took one, so now there are three left.
Impressive gorge.

oh my god i was a ftf yahjust i for got to log my name opps!
