Retiring the A to Z caches. Making way for other people.

Went past, before eventually checking the hint. Seemed a bit like someone's backyard! Thanks.

Interesting to read about the punt. Tftc

Every day we are traveling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.

Mallorcatommy and I were on our journey through the southern island of New Zealand. With the help of geocaches we came to so many beautiful places, saw breath-taking landscapes and had, all in all a very wonderful journey! Thank you to all owners for placing all those nice geocaches!

Nice spot to stop for lunch.

Quick find in the morning; no muggles were active at this time of the day.

Nice easy

Easily found, nice place

A quick find as I was driving into Cromwell this afternoon. Of course I missed the correct approach and ended up approaching from below - at which point I found the cache as well as the correct track. Signed log, TFTC

96 of 100 on a road trip up to Christchurch and then down to Te Anau. A quick easy find. TFTC

TFTC. Path clear but extreme stealth definitely needed as muggles with boat having a picnic at the bottom and looked set up for the afternoon. I did the retrieve, and sent Melon in to replace.

Track has recently been cleared, quick cache find. Unfortunately arrived here at the same time as the rain.

5743 + 591 = 6334. Day 9 and the last of my week-ish long visit to the New Zealand South Island for the NZ Mega 2012 event along with Sol de Lune, Zsazsa7, Winglen. We left RexTrex here in his home town.

Today we drove from Cromwell to Queenstown doing some caches and heading up the Gondola. After all that we went to the airport and flew home. The end of another Mega trip !!

First of a short day - quick find. This seems like an interesting series - pity we just didnt have the time to do them all.

Thanks again phiki614 !

Our last day in NZ after our trip from Australia to attend the NZ Mega. We stayed overnight in Cromwell and made our into Queenstown for a look around, a few more caches, lunch, then the flight home. The cache was found after a quick search, no problems with it.

Found with ZsaZsa7, Winglen and fitzy_1965 on our trip around the South Is after attending the New Zealand Mega. We managed to grab a few caches on travels and this was just one of them.

Thanks for the cache and the chance to see more of the South Island.

Found during 'The Gangsters' trip to New Zealand, being Big Matt, The Rats, steeba and myself.

No problems with this one even though the steps were not well defined and the grass was rather long.

Thanks phiki614 for the cache.

Found as part of the Gangsters- The Rats and Farmer Frentzen- as part of our NZ Mega Event Tour 2012.

An interesting little private park and the cache was found quickly with the hint. TFTC!

Found this cache as part of the Gangster's Aussie assault on the first NZ Mega with Big Matt, FarmerFrenzten and steeba.

Once again heading north we turned off here for a quick find.
Thanks

A great little out of the way spot perfect for a cache.

#1319 Found on a recent holiday to the beautiful South Island. It was one of many that we found in our most enjoyable 2 weeks there. My travelling companions enjoyed a cuppa here while I found the cache - had to finish the arvo tea in the car as a rain squall came in across this lovely lake. Thanks for the cache phiki614.

NZ12. The rain had returned, but with not far to go I slid down the steps and started poking around. The grass was pretty wet and thick and it took a bit longer than I hoped. Thanks.

Thanks for the cache, phiki614

We were on a Wine Tour with "Funny French Cars Wine Tours" and we convinced the driver to stop for this one, so we could show him what Geocaching was all about. We didn't approach this one the easy way, but we still made it to GZ and found the cache. Thanks for hiding it.

My Hubby (Digital_Dan) & I are on vacation with our good friends, Mr & Mrs benny7210. Heading out of Wanaka, picking up caches along the way. Out and about caching and sight seeing. Have 3 of the alphabet caches now... wish we could finish the series. One never knows where caches will take you
