This was a quick park and grab in the dark after coming down from the White Horse.
It was windy as heck up there but a lovely sunset.

This cache was exactly where I expected it to be and a nice consolation for my dnf up the hill- also proof to my Dad and brother that we are actually looking for real objects

Container and log are dry and in good condition.

Found with StreetWalker on day 2 of our Queens Birthday weekend, on a most enjoyable Waimate - Kurow - Waimate round trip. It turned out to be a good choice to head inland as the weather was fine (though cold!) until we reached the coast on the last stage of our journey.
Not an instant find but got there in the end. TFTC.

Headed out for a weekend of crazy caching with sharkiefan - it was all about numbers this weekend!
For me personally, I needed the numbers so that I could get enough caches to bring my average a day back up to 4 caches at least for this year, as on a streak it's not really possible to find heaps of caches in your home hood!

This was cache number 12 out of the 116 we found over the two days. And a huge thank you to all the cachers who put out all these caches! Loved the fun time we had - though weekend could have ended better!
Sorry for not writing cooler logs, but heading overseas in a couple days, and I don't exactly want to be behind in my logging then!! Razz Haha.

Consec caching day # 405

TFTC!! Smile

It began to pour as we approached this one. I used the hint, made a mad dash to retrieve and replace, signing in the car, hen took off for the next cache. On the return trip back from the Haka I made sure we stopped and had a good look at the monument, to make sense of the cache name. Nice tribute. TFTC SL
