TFTC!

Today we had to leave the North Island and took the ferry in the morning to get over to Picton. We decided to take the scenic route via the highway SH6, not the coastal highway. We stopped very often, because of the wonderful views on the way. I placed a cache up here on the North Island and hope it will be published soon.

A quick park and grab on our way on the sceneic route today.

We decided on a trip east today to pick up a few new caches and finish what we ran out of time to do last trip. We were just about to get out of the car when a couple of muggle cyclists appeared on the pathway, we very quickly recognised them as the geopopnz whom we had also had the pleasure of bumping into recently at a cache in Motueka. A pleasant conversation ensued before we each went on our way. TFTC.
 
06-Feb-13
As we pulled over familiar faces peered at us from under cycle helmets. Always good to see local fellow cachers. While Holymu took care of the social aspect I did the honours. Until we meet again Mr and Mrs Geopops. TFTC

Kid Muggles: Luca, Jade & Alex and now new cachers ([green]Grant + Wendy007[/green]) Takes alot longer when you have more people Smile This was our 2nd stop of a long day heading into Havelock. Had to make sure everyone was quite as it was a Wednesday. Thanks for the cache Smile

This cache was found as part of my epic as move down south to Christchurch from Auckland - A drive that involved around 3,000km, 350 caches, 14 days, and a bit of a detour through East Cape, Gisbourne, Napier/Hastings, some back roads in the Wairarapa, Cape Pallisier and Nelson/Tasman as well as every CANZ cache along the way that I was still missing. (Hence my excuse for the not as interesting log as I usually try to make mine.) But thanks to every awesome amazing as cacher that placed caches along these roads, you made my trip awesome, and very cache happy! SmileSmileSmile

Decided to take the scienic more pretty coastal route to Nelson along the coast, and collected up this cache along the way.

TFTC!! Smile

Farm opposite very busy with much milking in the marshes! Staff near the cache must wonder about odd people pretending to use a GPS as a phone whilst they fossick about in the bushes. Tempted to take little purple fuzzy-haired doll in cache but had no gifts to relace it with.Sigh! TNLN TFTC. Big Grin
