Stopped by to replace logbook as CO has not been online for a while and local caches have not been maintained. Cache is no longer in place and appears to have been muggled. I'd be happy to adopt local caches for this member as I live locally and can maintain them regularly.
Turned off for a break and some caching. Really relaxing view; a de-stress zone. Pleased I visited. First cache @1435. TFTC LeftyNZ. Another of your's. You seem to get around. 
Tftc. Was found away from gz on ground put back where we think may go? New log needed. Joint find with woody whanau. 22/6/14
Geocache number seven on a day's outing from the NZMCA Rally in Foxton. Log book full so I added a page . Yep, it did fit. TFTC

Cache number 23 of a 40 plus caching road trip on a soggy Manawatu day. Managed to score a half day off work. This one was a quick find. So many nanos in Foxton. TFTC. Found with Capperz and Hunterhillson. Logbook is full so please accept my photo as proof of my visit.
Afternoon of cache hunting with Capperz & Spudnz. Cache 23 of 45. Nice n easy find TFTC.
#5267. Peaceful spot. Quick find. The logbook was full however. Managed to find a tiny blank space to sign initials. TNLNSL. TFTC.
A quick and easy find in a nice spot. Thanks for bringing me here to enjoy it. TFTC
TFTC. Found whilst others were distracted by a posse of model T fords passing through. Pen unfortunately didn't like the paper - all I could get out of it was 26/1 before it gave out. Neat spot though. Number 59 of the 75 needed for the MGSC challenge.

Found it while at the boat club admiring newly constructed boat/ship due to launch soon bound for OZ. Had to return next day with pen!
on a dog beach day expedition and thought we would do a couple of caches, stopped and had a rest here, very quick and easy find with endmosteye44 - TFTC
Could see the nano from 20m away. Signed the log and put it back in it's rightful place. TFTC
A nice quick park n' grab. I could actually see the cache from where I parked my car on the road. Took a minute to sit and enjoy the beauty before continuing on with my day of caching. Thanks for bringing me here.

I walked to this cache from the 'King Of The Park' cache - a very enjoyable walk. A few people were nearby fishing but luckily far enough away to cause no dramas. A quick, easy find. Great space.

Good cache..love these nanos..watched a flock of canada geese take off..nice sunny afternoon in Foxton Beach..TFTC!!
Log replaced. Interestingly the hide had been repainted, and the cache along with it, still good to go.
What a lovely location, on a fine afternoon. We had just come from the beach and was disappointed that there hadn't been any close to the car-park- apart from couple along the beach which not have been there still.
Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC log By GSAkUp for the official launch of the new Coastguard Rescue vessel so a spot of caching was just the 'ticket' on the way home. Was fortunate to spot the cache on approach so it was a quick and easy retrieve. TFTC
Found it while walking from the the motor camp to the Boating club for dinner. TFTC
quick find, it took longer to roll back up (first time doing one that small)

Quick find.
Took longer to get log back into cache than it did to find the cache.
oh well lovely spot.

After dinner and looking for activities to entertain the kids. We decided to drive out to Foxton Beach.
Walked along the estuary and made a quick find of the cache. A little cool this evening, with a strong breeze coming off the ocean. TFTC.

Nice spot. Nice easy find. took us more time to get the log book out than to find the cache TFTC
TFTCWe decided to take a stroll along the waterfront after dinner this evening and came to this spot. Wow, what an interesting bit of info, only 6 sites like this in NZ. Thanks for the cache which didn't take us long to locate
Very quick find and sign - took ages to replace the cache due to an unhelpful breeze making the job difficult to complete. TFTC !
thought the open road speed limit sign out in the esturary is a wee bit optimistic. nice spot for a picnic if you love seagulls!

Quick and easy find and fine but cool day. Had father with us who managed to locate this, not sure whether we have him hooked on caching yet. Great spot. TFTC
nice easy find while on an off-site outing with four teenagers from the School Holiday Camp at Foxton Bible Camp
I took them to the monument to read it and learn about the area before letting them follow the GPSr to GZ.
Quick find by "EP" while I *sat* back after already spying it through the slats.
Re-hid in same location but out of direct sight from someone simply sitting down.

Didn't take long to find it. Took a while to get log out, & back in again. Love those things! Nice peaceful place .TFTC
Found The Cache.
Didn't Need GPS As Kiwisurfer (a previous finder) tagged along and directed me to the general location.
Forgot a pen so couldn't sign log. (Will Remember Next Time).

Quick and easy find. Water level very low, but very beautiful setting. Thanks for the cache.. Did with Mycro Man
A quick find after an evening fishing. Didn't catch anything, but found a cache! TFTC
Found after the orienteering. Great views from here and excellent to see the walking/cycle pathway development. TFTC
It was our first visit to Foxton Beach, and I was very impressed by the area. Nice waterfront walkway, but we had a schedule to keep, plus the off-and-on-again drizzle meant lingering was not possible.

Great spot. Found the cache then sat and watched the yachties enjoying themselves in the estuary. TFTC
Had just about completed a two day geography fieldtrip studying the Manawatu River system with a school group. Left the group and rest of the staff sketching the estuary while I went to check out the sculpture and plaque. After all the info was relevant to our study. Oh what a surprise there was a cache next to where I found myself and it would have been rude not to sign the log.

TFTCSLMy first ever visit to this area. Went for a walk along the estuary walkway and spotted quite a few interesting looking birds in the distance. The cache was a quick find. Signed log, TFTC.
