As soon as we drove in the cache was right there staring at us. The camo is peeling off and the bank becoming eroded. We tried to conceal it a bit better. Was interesting to see a muggle's log in it. Again second signature in this one this year, but more finds on the cache page...

[:0] Easy find on way into Waikaremoana/Waikareiti walk TFTC. Great opportunity to teach a few fellow trampers about geocaching...and a pleasant distraction from the 2 punctures we got on the way. TFTC

Another break on the drive to Waikaremoana, but by now I had an unscheduled stop for a puncture, and was to experience a second, luckily our muggle friends were happy to watch us look for caches, supply tires and change them.

We asked at the touristinformation if this raod was paved. And they assured it was!!! Result: almost 150 km gravelroad in a splendid area. It took us 5 hours to cross this forest. Thanks for the cache

Magnificent tree. Glad we had a reason for stopping. Lots of slips and road works and rivers are high. Guess they had as much or more rain as Auckland. PINO TFTC

What a nice spot for a bit of a breather from the gravel winding roads. Easy find thank goodness, as I didn't like the thought of putting my arm down some of those holes. I know how big the East coast weta gets!!

Geocaching is sometimes hard to explain Sad

Another nice break to the journey. This one had me concerned for a few minutes - a number of possibilities! Found without too much drama though thanks.
Cool tree - it's like the phoenix rising from the ashes.
