By Bitsprayer on 25-Mar-10. Waypoint GC25DMY

so wet!!!!!!! Everything in there destroyed..tftc tho

This caches has done it's dash.

Cache has a hole in the lid and was very wet and pretty grotty inside. Also was by the fence, not where the clue says it should have been. Definitely needs maintenance.

Found on our three week trip around the South Island. Needs maintenance.

A lot of traffic at this one. Good cache, but everything wet

EXTREMELY WET! It was un-sign able. Found with Busy Paws!
TFTC!

Found with Geo Jessie. VERY wet, soaked in fact. Will need a replacement sooner than later !!. TFTC

Wet wet wet. TFTC

Quick find. The lid was cracked and has a hole in it so the container was full of water. Emptied out the water but the contents are in a bit of a state so this cache needs urgent attention. Was lovely to find such a good sized cache. Thanks Bitsprayer.

Day 3 of our 5 Day end of year geocaching trip. Today was our biggest day of our trip with 75finds and 4DNFs with most of them being park and grabs. A quick find in the dark tonight. The cache wasnt really at the hint but it was well labeled. A nice sized box too! Sorry for the late log but Thanks for the cache [purple]Our cache find: #3301[/purple] | [green]Cache of the Day: 73/75[/green] | [blue]Cache of our trip: 140/235[/blue]

Glad we stopped on a Sunday, this one would be fun to find on a working day Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Nicely hidden in plain sight Left TB. Found with debsnz

Lots of muggles... Tftc

Had to read through other peoples logs to figure this out and after some hunting found it nicely hidden

Spent the day geocaching on the drive from Christchurch to Dunedin. Resulted in 156 finds. Quick find. Signed log. TFTC!

Found with Chosen1978. There was no mistaking this container. Signed log.

quick find on way home south with granville86a TFTC

A nice big one for a busy cacher in this area. A quick PnG on a Saturday PM so not much traffic in or out of the yard.
TFTC

Revisited to drop off a TB Bee and since there were TBs there took some.

Had 4 too long sorry

The name of Ernienz was by now well known to us, and we couldn't pass this one by. And a good sized cache after so many micros !! Thanks Bitsprayer.

Biggest one we have found. Enjoyed it

I was looking for a 1l container as I thought it must be a typo - never seen one of these before I believe! Great size and hide, cheers!!

Found with Hinemoana while caching around oamaru.
TFTC

Had to wait while a ute came out and locked the gate and then had an easy find.TFTC

Found it together with Team Autoværn on our New Zealand tour back in 2013.

We found this cache on a transit from Dunedin to Akaroa.
We think this was the biggest box we found during our holidays here in NZ.

Thank you for hiding and greetings from Germany!

What a lovely big cache! TFTC. + 2 x GC's

Awesome cache, thanks!

Thanks for the cache, nice and easy when there is not heaps of traffic around

Has to be one the biggest containers we have found, and it was surprisingly hard to see. I thought 7 Lt has to be easy, wrong.I really like it when caches are hidden with permission. Thanks

Took longer than I would like to admit to. Cool container.
Thanks for placing this cache!

TFTC

very easy large cache. easy park and grab. 20second job!!!!
TFTC.

TFTC

Nice to find this one which is so close to home. I always like to feel familiar with those finds nearby.

Found with Nzbirder TFTC

Thought it should be classified as large but still good. Found a few interesting parts of circuitry in it.

Found with Buzzybe. TFTC

TFTC such fun

found it too easy

I stopped in here while I was heading south to Dunedin.

Nice easy one

Took a bit of hunting because was not between flaxes as in log so replaced between flaxes as per co ordinates.

Found it well. TFTC

I can't believe I have never stopped for this one before, I must of driven past more than a few times since it was published. A good cache to find.

TFTC

Found with kiwicampnut after Mega.
Like ernienz this cache has migrated out of the hint object and about 7m +/- 3m to the north.
Nice big container, though not the biggest I've found.
Kiwicampnut took the coin that was there.
Thanks.

On a drive to the south end of the south Island of NZ. Finding a few caches along the way.
TFTC Happy Cachin!!!

Found on our way to the Southern tip of NZ. Love the Scenery - gorgeous!! TFTC!!

Thanks for this cache on behalf of Erienz's move - hope the new job is still going okay. Took the Coin.

#4255. Our search effort was pretty poor, thought the muggle factor (and out of date hint) didn't help. Great to see the CO in his natural habitat (a bitumen sprayer). TFTC.

Almost a DNF...we were a bit spooked by all the comings and goings very close to GZ and were ready to call it a day when we were embarassed to be muggled by the CO. He helpfully pointed us in the right direction - looks like the cache has migrated, but even so we should have found it without help.

I hope Ernienz is enjoying life on the other side of the river. TFTC.

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

A nice quick one as we made our way down to Dunedin. TFTC!

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

Leaving town we stopped and grabbed this large cache on the way out.
Thanks

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

Another quick find on the highway heading south to Dunedin.

Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache.

Our 6298th overall find.

Found on the "Gangsters" NZ Mega 2012 trip with steeba, The Rats and Farmer Frentzen. It was time for us to say Hooray as well. We had a ball in town.

Thanks Bitsprayer for the cache. Stats for our trip can be found here http://www.campersdownunder.com.au/geocaching/NZTrip/stats2.html

Reperio at 1115.

This was another of the many stops made today with Roostaman on the way from Timaru to Dunedin for the mega event, and if I never see another flax bush it will be too soon! Luckily we did manage to find this one ok...and it was great to see a nice big container.

Gratias Bitsprayer.

Find # 4378 and a total of 113 today with Marcus Vitruvius on the 3rd day of our NZ Mega trip, on the way south from Timaru to Dunedin. Another nice cache and hide and a quick find then on the way again. I hate this stuff here, but found this one OK. TNLNSL TFTC Bitsprayer,
Roostaman.

This was one of 69 caches for the day along with bogonghazy enroute from Oamaru to Dunedin for NZ Mega. We had sunshine, rain, snow and wind throughout the day. But still got to enjoy a greats days caching. Thanks to the CO and greetings from Oz.

Found with Sully1 on our third day in this beautiful country.
Today we headed from Oamaru to Dunedin, enjoying even more of this scenery
and friendly Kiwis, and finding a great variety of clever and educational caches along the way.
Thanks again Bitsprayer, nice hide

This is the last one on our way south or we are never going to get to the Mega today Great parking off road TFTC

Took a bit of searching and I was mindful of the cars parked close by. Finally I got it. Heading south to the NZ Mega event.

Tge largest cache I have come across in NZ road date.

TFTC

pick up tb to move on

Dropping in TB

what a treasure trove, picked up TB

What a good tribute for Ernienz ah. TFTC. Cheers Bo

Perhaps the easiest flax bush-cache I've ever come across; most of them are right little horrors. Also the biggest cache we've found yet! TFTC.

just about to leave and bingo

On a caching trip with ingidayna to Oamaru and surrounds to get 1000 finds. TFTC

one of many to get 1000 caches TFTC found with wethreefourdices.
Very cool cache

Love these big containers, it seemed almost too easy to find! Left a TB to continue its journey. TFTC

Just couldn't pass this cache and besides I had a TB ( Decapod ) who had become restless.
Caches don't come any bigger. do they ?

A road trip from Dunedin to Benmore Dam for fishing and a little caching. Find 22/31 with CachemanChris. TFTC Totally busted with this cache, thanks to the kids looking out and not yelling "muggle" we were busted by a car that pulled in behind us. Geocachers? Unknown at this time, but they did get out of the car and walked to the cache site as we left. Hope it hasn't been muggled. SORRY!

TFTC - Road trip with Castlewood_Crew to Benmore

easy find, thanks

Great hide. TFTC! Took TB

Nice big box. Left Birds of Love TB uplifted I Love NZ. TFTC

Very pleased that this was a public holiday so nothing going in or out. A decent sized cache. Swapped TBs. TFTC #3206

A quick stop on the way south, nice bog box. Cheers

#1104 Found while visiting from Oz enjoying this wonderful country. Hoping to pick up a TB to take back to Oz with us but someone had just taken the one that was there and another was dropped in there the same day after us! Thanks Bitsprayer.

Just dropping off a "bug"

Visiting from the UK with my brother, first of the day on our journey from Oamaru to Dunedin. Took the TB to move on, thanks for the hide

Decided this was a night time try so 11.23pm last night it became a find for us. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC While at the cache site construction vehicles zoomed in and out including a ute which stopped and a stern looking guy got out and starting walking toward us. I thougth we were going to be told to b----r off when he broke into a smile and said, "that was an easy find, aye." It was none other than the CO Bitsprayer himself, the guy who is totally responsible for us getting into this lark!!!! Had a nice chat then proceeded on to our two day assault on Oamaru caches.

This was also our last Hooray cache for the night, the 101th find, this included some serious walks (Trotter's Gorge) and plenty of driving, will do a bit of a break down of cache owners one day to see who is most responsible for our late night outing.....

TNLN TFTC

good one for those into swaps.

No missing this one. TFTC.
