Power to the Geocachers (Nelson/Marlborough) Stoke, South Island, New Zealand
By Alien Kiwis on 01-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1WMRW

We are Archiving this Geocache as there is a lot of maintenance going on in the area and all the trees have been removed. Thanks to all that visited it.

Felt the Power, found the cache. Thanks Alien Kiwis, good stuff.

Nice Multi. Enjoyed the visit to this area but got the final location totally wrong in terms of my expectation. Headed off to the right location and made a nice quick find. Clever hide. TFTC

Started this one a number of months ago, bad maths had me miles of course on the 1st attempt. After redoing the maths ended up at the correct spot but still very new to caching and using paper system couldnt see for looking. This time walked straight up to it. Worth a favourite. Thanks

A very cunning cache. Definitely a favourite point for this one. TFTC

This was a very enjoyable geocache, the puzzle was good, cache was great, I loved it! Feel the Powa!!

Answered questions last week, but just managed to get back and find the cache today. Great hide. TFTC

Great multi and nice hide!!!

Wow after climbing the hill up to the trig, realised we were way off the cordinates! Tried again and got tha right spot. Great cache, nice easy multi thanks!

Called in to replace container and log book. Also starting off our new travel bug's journey to Europe here.

Easy find, log book quite damp. Caching with Hazedarus. TFTC.

Had to scratch an itch so went caching with Holymu. Easy find, liked the way it was done. Logbook was damp. TFTC

A very clever cache. TFTC

Was a quick redo of the figuring work today - which was rather pleasant in the nice sunshine today Was pleased to see that the figures bought us to a likely looking spot - and whilst Stretch0 was trying one spot I thought I wonder why - oh thats because its the cache !!!!! nice hide enjoyed the multi signed log thanks for the cache

Had grabbed the required info when in town before but had failed to complete due to the number of muggles about. We were very clever and left the info at home so we just reworked it all out and after a quick search we came up trumps (Niteowlnz) was in viewing tune today TFTC

No problems working out the final location on a quiet Sunday morning. A clever hide, I liked it a lot. TFTC

Found on a weekend caching mission with boxhill and yeetrees. No problems collecting all the required information and then off to the final. Boxhill quickly made all the right connections and we had cache in hand. Nice hide - just what I am learning to expect from Alien Kiwis!
TFTC.

Clever! TFTC

Found it on a bike ride. Nice hide a bit wet inside but managed to dry it out in the sun. TFTC

A great wee multi, with an apt final. Good hide, too, thought it must have been a kiwi-nomad cache!
TFTC.

#1757 (9/19 on day 7 in Nelson). Glad we were picking up the info at WP1 on a weekend. Excellent hide (not easy to park near final). TFTC.

This multi was quite easy to solve, managed to gather all the required info quite quickly for this one here today without any issues, found the final in a very interesting location, wasn't expecting to find a cache exactly where I found it, interesting hide, thanks for the great little multi and yes "Power to the Geocachers", TFTC TNLNSL (2438)

Nice easy multi - fun little puzzle and a really cool hide at GZ. This cache was humming today! TFTC!

Dropped of some TB I had carried around all day and not found anywhere suitable to put them.

finally had my caching eyes open. tftc

The "Fast Cache Travel Racer" TB isn't in this cache, but we called in to drop off 3 other TBs ( Ben the One Handed Ranger, Buddy the Bad Bunny, and These Boots are Made 4 Walkin) and a Geocachers Evolution Geocoin.

Very tricky!

What a very clever hide. Well done! Did this one with Flora of nickandflora. TFTC.
Jackie, Grant and dogs.

This cache is now up and running again, all thanks to Birds of a Feather, who very kindly dried it all out and replaced the log book.

Alien Kiwis here - we are told that this cache is very wet so are disabling it until we get back to NZ on 1st July. However if anyone wants to pick up the TBs that are in it they are most welcome. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well done! Lots of effort gone into this so thanks. Unfortunately this cache must have collected a lot of water lately, everything saturated including the log book. Needs some TLC.

Dropped Off "St Patrick's Day Geo Coin" and "Travel Racer"

Dryed out contents and replaced zip bag Add couple TB's

Will pick this up today and dry out will drop off tonight-tomorrow...

According to the last log entry, this cache has got very wet from the recent rain, so as we're away overseas until the beginning of July, it might be best to wait until then before visiting this one. Thanks. Alien Kiwis.

Cache very wet ( Full of water after heavy rain last night.) removed TB

Very enjoyable multi and a great final.
TFTC

Enjoyed the puzzle and the surprise!
left some TBs

Soon have it all worked out, and the log signed.

We loved this clever hide. A lot of thought and effort gone into it for a great cache.
Many thanks.

Another great Alien Kiwi Cache - Dropped off a coin.
TFTC

We thought we better do a spot of practice b4 the valentines geocaching event 2mro. Cheers!

3149. It is clever - but we have reservations about this hide! Questions and puzzle are well set up.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

found it with integersmirk, good fun solving the puzzle. took TB TFTC

Nice stroll quick find - nice thing to cheer up an enforced trip to Stoke TFTC

Got It! Clever spot. Took a few trips to find but we found it in the end. Thanks heaps!

Loved the puzzle althought it had taken us awhile to find all the clues
Clever hide good one thank you for making the effort. [^]

Dropping off a TB.

after getting fustrated with a nearby cache, we thought we would get our spirits back by doing another nearby......then we saw the owner. Oh no we say, not again !! But whew, we got this no probs. That other one will knaw away !! Nice hide, worker liked the creature ! Thanks

Found with Kwaka40
Lovely sunny day
Nice hiding spot
Took TB

Easy find with Wilson#41.
Clever hiding spot.
Left tb

Good find with geomutt,liked the way the cache was done.
TFTF

This proved to be an expensive cache for us as I got so excited at finding this masterpiece that I threw my glasses on the floor and promptly trod on them in my frenzy to swap TBs! Took geocoin and left jeep TB. This cache was such fun TFTC

This didn't take me in the direction I first expected. I have to say I have been futher enlightened by finding two of your caches today! TFTC (783)

Another good one, nice to see more real caches and not just a box chucked in a bush

Pining for a cache after a frustrating DNF up the road, decided to give this one a go with success. Swapped the TB for a coin. Great hide. Pity, it didn't do the trick, I'm still pining after Mrs B found it.
TFTC

Yay! First find with my new 60CSX. Time to hang up the trusty eTrex. Like learning to walk again. No problems with clues or find at GZ. Great hide, cool cache, scary guardian! V high on the the creepy crawly scale. - coin +TB, TFTC, Biggles.

What a good cache! - Woody TB +coin

Got sprung by Bullertrout while researching the clues!! Didn't know that the nearby walkway existed. Went to final co-ords, but mugglers everywhere, so decided to abort and finish today and what a lovely warm spring day for a walk. Great hide and very clever! TFTC.

Quick find after doing the calculations.Great hide.Saw 3Ds startring the cache as we finished doing it

Scary wee number! Very clever, and I appreciate the check-sum.

Rolled up near to Mr Navfam on my MTB and spied that he was acting more weired than normal. Realising what he was up to I promptly hid in the bushes waiting for him to complete the clues for the multi, before springing out for the find. Easy!

What a great cache. loved the clever hide and especially the little extra 'surprise' awaiting us.
Dropped off a Geocoin.

As we had just found the owners second cache we had some idea of what to look for here. Again the check sum was valuable confirmation of our reading and maths. We first thought the final would be in a completely different direction but, on second thoughts, the actual direction made a lot of sense. A well set out cache. Took Quatchi TB Left Woody TB and Blue Penguin TB. TFTC

Fantastic first cache! Appreciate the work that went into it - thank you. Lovely warm late afternoon multi. The info was soon in hand, and I had this idea that I could find the cache without using the coords. Well, I was wrong! I needed the coords, which were pretty much spot on, under the circumstances. Found cache in first place I looked, but only after looking there a 2nd time after looking in a number of other places! TFTC - great to have you enjoying this facet of Geocaching also. -TB

Nice One!!!!!!!!! Saturday morning find with Grandson Bryn. In the spirt of cache, Bryn had to do all of the math and determine the final GZ co-ordinates. Clever bit of ingenuity on the hide and cache container. Well done. If this is an example of what is to come, there will be much fun in the future. Can't wait! Thanks

Simply awesome or as the junior Beansos put it .. Way Cool !!! ..... and a great chance for them to do some maths. TFTC

Found while waiting for Burlis for our MTB ride. Did the sums, loaded the co-ords, got close to final cache and who should turn up to claim the glory....Burlis.
Great cache with plenty of twists. Well done and thanks.

Quick nocturnal find for me (I really must buy a torch) - clues and co-ordinates all worked out perfectly. Good one, thank you.

Wow!!!! What an awesome 1st cache you have produced, well done. Mr KE had an early start planned at work today but couldn't resist attempting a multi cache FTF by a new cache placer, he's glad he did. Worked the clues on the way to work but couldn't find (or perhaps see) one of the questions. Never mind I thought, there's a check sum so I will just work back from there. I didn't count on the cold effecting my brain and getting the sums wrong though, gz was pointing to the top of a large hill, nah it can't be there. Reworked the numbers and then found a spot that fitted perfectly and was more near where I expected gz to be, your co-ords were bang on too. Great container and hide, loved the extra twist (or two). Thanks for a fun cache, looking forward to many more. -gc
