Seemed to have struck a cone of invisibility here today, very odd. Think I'd better get smart next visit.
We were reasonably confident about this one, and found quickly. Unfortunately log is missing, so inserted temporary replacement. TFTC
Our most fun cache of the day. VERY clever. Luckily we had the aea (mostly) to ourselves as two cachers in their mid-60's "attacking" the spot. Thank you from Alaska.
There was a definite reduction in noise as I centered myself in the cone. Thanks for the cache.
Pretty sure I knew what I was looking for, but couldn't spend all the time looking that I wanted.
A liitle hint from owner after I shared my ideas with him. Not something for Baby-Organist, but she waited patiently. Off for lunch!
Quick find - NOT! Another great hide though. I had a fair idea what I was looking for but it took some searching for. I felt as though I earned this one. TFTC (712)
Nice hide. Found with mollymop birdflu and blueb so had plenty of eyes looking. Thanks
we were looking forever, then i saw it!

Found quickly on our second attempt, although we could understand how we missed the in the dark the night before. Really cool idea. TFTC 
Gave up in the dark last night. Returned first thing this morning and wow there it was. Nice one. Easy in daylight.

Sigh, a day making well overdue logs on trips ages ago. This was one cache of 22 on an Oamaru trip. TFTC!!
Cool cache. Well worth a visit. Found with Johnny Goes Caching on our secound trip to Oamaru. TFTC
TFTC - the work done on this was appreciated!! A quick stop after getting gas nearby.
It can only be summed up with "ha ha" very clever. Ironically it was faster to find than most roadside drive bys.... luck, we think. Thanks for this. A great cache.
Had some un finished buisness with this one.....
No probs this time - rather enjoyable too
TFTC!

Nicely done cache. J was a tad blind in finding it at first but was certainly keen to retrieve it, unfortunately her arms were a tad short so B was brought in. TFTC
My other favourite cache for today. Pretty much had a good idea what I was looking for and duly found it. Very nice piece of work Bitsprayer. I've managed to find a few of your very good caches today, but not all of them! Some were too good for me this time. Thanks very much for the fun.
As I was leaving the scene I had to shelter behind a large tree for several seconds from a HUGE burst of wind.

This was a great one and really enjoyed it once I had spotted it, well done, I think you and one of our master cachers in christchurch must have worked together at some stage lol. You two seem to think a like... very good... Cheers Bo
A bit of lateral thinking involved here but once the hide was spotted spent a while getting to it. One ripped tshirt later and success, albeit with just a slightly less than amused Mrs Moose Another great Bitsprayer hide. Thanks.
Another great Bitsprayer hide. Thanks.Nice!! After looking at the cache page knew exactly what to look for NOT!!!!! But spotted the cache anyway after a wee search.
Thanks

Knew what we were looking for, but GPS had us all over. Finally phoned a friend - oh no, really? Once spotted both S and H had a go at getting it, and H eventually succeeded.

AWESOME HIDE – took a while to find, a nearby sprinkler kept us cool, until we spotted it… Mums da word, and she made the grab… most impressed – highly recommended cache.

Oh yes!! This is a good one. Lucky that Annie used to have other hobbies before caching, that help with such retrievals! And so glad that the pollen appeared to have done its thing. Hayfever was bad enough already.

We had looked here before but looked more thoroughly this time. The kind of cache that makes you grin.
Got it this time! Had to stay nice and quiet to avoid the tennis playing muggles nearby. Thanks.
Had two goes at this - think we know what we're looking for, but there were severe muggle problems both times... we'll be back
Had an idea of what I might have been looking for, but no joy. The tree was obviously gearing up for spring - clouds of pollen every time I bumped a branch. Not good for the old hayfever, but I'll return.
I'd missed this when looking late last night, but after a quick word from the owner, I realised what I was looking at. Thanks Bitsprayer, it was an easy find early the next morning - in complete silence, of course. I should have got that one, as it has a certain congruence with one of my best caches. Many thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1241)
2185. Absolutely great! We loved it! We get really excited when we come across a cache like this one - a big thank you. Once we worked out what to look for we just had to keep looking - and then -
Thanks

First cache of the new day. We DNF'd last night, and had another go this morning. Were nearly about to depart when all of a sudden - there it is! It was exactly what we were expecting, but we just weren't able to see it in the dark last night. Nicely done. Cheers Gav [2200]
Very nice.
Didn't manage it in the dark but did manage it the next day (after some searching). TFTC
