Beautiful spot. travelling north. TFTC. Log full.
 
Interesting place, thanks for showing. Nobody watched us from the campground nearby. But the long nails from the fence could be a challenge. TFTC forestcats on world cruise 2024

This was slightly spoiled for me, as a lady living in a caravan nearby, pointed it out before I had barely begun to search but she meant well. The log is full, and if somebody could take a sheet of paper with them, that'd be good. I'm visiting NZ while on a world cruise aboard Silver Shadow. We're less than a month in, with about four months to go.Thanks for the cache.

The McArgister whnau are in town for a few days and while Mrs & Mum McArgister finished off our fish n chips dinner, Mini & Micro joined me here. We spent a while trying to find the oldest gravestone to wait out a muggle (I think we got to the 1860s) but then got to work and made the find higher up than I was expecting. The log is full but we squeezed out initials on. Thanks for the memorable cache!

Dear Owner, please excuse the one-size-fits-all log, but we will try to summarize our experiences in a few words, which is almost impossible in this beautiful country.Our route took us from Frankfurt am Main via London and Hong Kong to Auckland, where we spent 3 wonderful weeks on the North Island of New Zealand. After spending the first two days at the other end of the world in Auckland to get used to the 12-hour time difference, we spent the rest of the time criss-crossing the island in our fantastic camper van. The nature and landscape here is simply uniquely beautiful. We drove a good 2500km, saw beautiful, lonely beaches, visited impressive waterfalls, were at the foot of a volcano, visited ancient trees and enjoyed the wonderful views of nature again and again. Of course, we also searched for, found and logged a few geocaches along the way, looked at geolgical features and tried to complete the owner's tasks. For us, it was an all-round perfect vacation that we will remember for a very long time and we will certainly come back here again if we can.Thanks to the owner and best wishes from Germany Fantalismus

Well it's meant to be summer but it's a crappy evening overcast misty and wet. We parked near by and started the walk on the path which was all good until the path finished and we had wet grass to walk across. Well we soon had wet shoes and wet socks. Got to gz only to find people camping on other side of fence.We think we were very lucky here that we put our hands on the cache so quickly while being as discrete as possible. Thank you TheWonderStuff for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 4973
