By Jake The Muss. on 24-Apr-08. Waypoint GC1BJP6

It's day 5 of my 3-week bucket list road trip around South Island, and today, I'm heading from Fox Glacier to Wanaka. A quick find here after visiting Lake Matheson. However, the cache (both containers) was full of water and the logsheet is waterlogged. Photo log attached.Thanks for this smiley.

Thanks!

Empty skies, apart for birds and clouds. Thanks for hiding!

Day twenty four of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.Staying in Fox Glacier.The forecast is not good, but it is not raining.No one out in the skies today except for helicopters going back and forth to the glacier.Thanks, Robmc.

Day 24 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and we spent the night in Fox in the hope of a helicopter ride this afternoon. The fellas headed out to the lake for AdLab and of course your cache.Sadly the helicopter has been delayed until tomorrow but at least it gave us a chance to look around.We got a lovely view of the glacier between the clouds.Thanks for contributing to our amazing holiday

CaptainVimes and I have crossed the pond to attend the Geo Toroa mega in Dunedin and tour around the South Island for two weeks.Found sitting in a puddle of water but dry inside. Cow watched on and tin roof of shed applaudedThanks Jake The Muss. and happy caching

Easy find

#3965 Today is day 16 of my geocaching vacation in New Zealand. I drove to Fox Glacier to do last-minute geocaching and filled up the tank before tomorrow's long drive. Found it! The outer container had some water in it, but the inner one was good. Jake The Muss., thank you for the cache!-crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan on October 16, 2024 @ 15:44:38[GC1BJP6] Cessna's Jump Run was a D2.0/T2.0 Small Traditional Cache at the time of finding.

After our walk around Lake Matheson we had a short ride to the Glacier viewpoint, on the way back to our camping ground we exchanged this cache into a laughing smiley on our map. View towards the glacier is here as nice as at the viewpoint TFTC #462

Nice easy find with a stunning view of Fox Glacier. Some muggle cows witnessing our adventure. Unable to sign as no pen but TFTC

Gevonden samen met Bald Eagle op onze trip door Nieuw Zeeland op 5 apr. 2024 12:12. Dank je wel Jake The Muss. voor deze cache. Groetjes van mij 1740 uit Eindhoven

A quick drive by on the way to the viewing point today. No issues here. Nice view even from this location! Tftc

Quick found, TFTC.

Thanks

On the way to the Fox Glacier viewpoint SiamFee and I could find the cache very quickly. Tftc Siamkiwi

GPS was very accurate here and cache was in the first spot I checked - tftc

Lovely surrounding, but unfortunately low cloud so unable to see fox glacier

Cache very wet , needs a new container/bag

We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Signapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. The day before yesterday we drove from Wanaka to Fox Glacier. Today we are already heading to our next desination, Greymouth. Since it that is not a long drive we spend the moring in and around Fox Glacier. We have a walk with glacier view, visit a look out and Lake Matheson. We also visit this cache. No parachutes today but the cache is found rather quickly. Thank you very much for this cache.

During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia we travel from Fox Glacier to Greymouth. Before we really get on the road, we try to catch a glimpse of the Fox Glacier.This cache was found in a nice spot.**Jake The Muss.**, thanks for the cache.

Toller Ausblick zum Gletscher, und dann noch den Liebling gefunden. Tftc

Log Buch und Behlter nass

Dieser Geocacher hat gemeldet, dass der Behlter beschdigt ist.

We are on a trip in New Zealand. A wonderful country with a lot of (old )caches. There are too many caches so we limit ourselves to the (old) gems or where we happen to make a stop. We found dit but couldn't sign or stamp it. Totally wet Jake The Muss., thank you for this cache, regards xizat-NL. Take care, this hobby can develop to an addiction.

My husband and i are on a 2 week vacation from BrisbAne Australia and today we travelled from Westport to Fox Glacier and wow what great scenery there was and we picked up a couple of smileys along the way. Took some photos here of the glacier, wow and then is was a quick find. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Awesome. TFTC

Logged this one to document our trip through New Zealand. The cache contains a lot of moistureTFTC

The tour of New Zealand, what an impression and what beautiful things we get to see from this country. In between everything, we are also looking forward to the geocaches in this country. Fortunately, we were still able to find a few caches today. CO, thank you very much for that, we see and look around in a slightly different way. With warm geocach greetings from the Netherlands

A very easy park & grab after visiting Lake Mathesson. Watched by a huge bull as we searched. No plane activity while we were here. TFTC

Summer Holiday 2024Day #7Time for AlpiSteve and I to head to Queenstown and the weather is terrible here in Fox so sadly no helicopter ride to the glaciers before we go. After having a look at the viewpoint down the road (and the memorial) we stopped here in the pouring rain and thankfully it was a quick find and 1 more closer to #6000 for me woo hoo TFTC Make your way to Dunedin for New Zealands next large multi-day event. GCA7ZHD Geo Toroa will be held on NZs Labour Day long weekend 26-27th October 2024

Magnificent spot tonight. Cool stop off on our way back from exploring Gillespies beach. Thanks!

Found it on the way to the beach. Nice and easy cache indeed. I dont think its a parachuters field anymore. Full of cows.Thanks

Tftc... great spot(Replaced plastic bag to add some protection)

Tyfc, nice easy find with Kerryowl

A quick and easy find. The cache was full of water despite the double plastic bags. I emptied the water out and tried to dry a best I could. No swaps in there, so I thought I would add a few just to get it started again. TFTC

Quick find on the way back from the glacier viewpoint. We had no luck with the view due to a lot of clouds.

GPS a bit bouncy but then we spotted something out of the ordinary to all but cachers and there it was. No view of the glacier though. TFTC.

log later

Nice quick find while passing by today. TFTC Jake the Muss and to whoever it was that has replaced the rusty tin with a new one. # 20,661

After traveling around Australia with Oopie for 7 weeks, we have now been traveling with the camper in New Zealand for 4 weeks. Along the way we will of course also visit various types of caches in beautiful places, including this one. Thanks CO for creating and laying this cache.

Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. After 7 weeks driving around through Australia we arrived the 2th November in New Zealand. For ten days we will cross the Northern Island and than for 2 weeks the Southern Island.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case Jake The Muss., thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

Quick find. Coords spot on. Sadly too cloudy for skydivers this labour day. Replaced sodden log with a sheet of waterproof paper and added mine + Z-masterNZ's name back to it with a new (but oversized) Ziploc bag. Also put Ziploc bag around the cache container so it hopefully survives a bit longer. Definitely needs a new waterproof container (pill bottle etc) hence I am flagging it as such. Still should be able to find and write in the log with no problem now though. TFTC!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Detoured to grab this on the way back to the motel. Cache wasn't in great shape, however I've thrown together something for the mean time... new mint tin, damaged ziplock back which probably won't hold water, really... and some standard paper.. if anyone swings by with either rite-in-the-rain paper or could double ziplock bag it, things would be a lot better I think. Thanks for the placement.TFTC Jake The Muss., Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 4 find(s) of 4 today, making this find #4401

This one needs definitely some love.TFTC,bahaMAfive

Container squashed and logbook disintegrated completely. But still happy to have found it. TFTC

We are on our long-awaited journey around the world in 99 days. Second try after canceling in 2020.
Our third stop after Los Angeles and Hawaii is New Zealand.

This time was of course used to find some geocaches here.
Today we were searching for the Traditional **Cessna's Jump Run**

Thank to the Hints and the good coordinates the little box was found quickly!
After signing the logbook there is a new smile on our geocaching map!

At least we would like to take this opportunity to thank Jake The Muss. for creating and maintaining this Traditional.

Glorious day for a view

After we walked around the beautiful Lake Matheson we have had a look for this Cache.
Thanks for hidding say GeoGrillen

On a trip to Ross. All good with the cache. Thanks

Trobat!!

Thank you. This is our first ever find

2nd one! Brr it's cold, no tree like in the image. Mum found this one.

We were coming through here as part of a family roadtrip holiday. We had stayed the night nearby and came down here to try an get a view of the glacier through the mist and clouds.We got lucky and the clouds parted for a short while to let us see the lower part of the glacier. Now we were continuing on our way so got this quick park and grab as we went past.TFTC

Very wet. Cleaned cache. Left new log in dry bag and put old wet log in another dry bag for CO to collect. Friendly four legged locals. Tftc

Found today while watching the sun rise over the mountains and listening to the stags roar. Perfect

Found after a walk around Matheson Lake. Awesome view of Fox Glacier!

Tftc

Thanks , cool cache , bit damp , glad the cows were at the other end of the paddock

After checking out the views of the Fox Glazier from the Peak Viewpoint, we stopped by to collect this cache on our way to Lake Matheson. Quick park and grab here. TFTC

Day three trapped at Fox Glacier in this weather bomb, caching is keeping rhe adventure alive as in these conditions nothing to do here.

Drove down to this park & grab excess water everywhere definitely straight down the middle sides full of water.

Parked grabbed cache easy find when it seems your the only person on the planet oh did past two cars going opposite way.

Jumped in car dried of cache log book soaked dried as best I could tipped water out of cache book bag. Sealed it all up after logging & replaced.

Caching is an adventure & that's certainly true in a weather bomb. Never a plan to say at Fox Glacier yet three days later still here. If we're trapped much long may have to go for a cache that's in Road Closed area.

Thanks for providing me relief with this cache.

PS: no one made enough to sky dive today lol

What a view! Thanks for this one

Nice easy find. Tftc

Nice easy find

After a wander around Lake Mathieson and some refreshments in the cafe…. A slight detour to grab this easy park and grab. Fantastic view here of the glacier.
TFTC

Beautiful day and nice day for caching!
