I found the obvious object. Needs to be maintained as log is to wet to sign

Nice quick find here people. Working at the church near by. Cool cache conrainer log needs some attention tftc

found on a cold crisp Spring day with snow on the hills. Dropped off my muggle mates at the pub and took a stroll down to look for this cache. V cool spot, gets a fav, everything too wet inside to sign. took a photo of the street walking back to the pub, there were peeps and a barking dog at gz so didn't want to make it weird.

Cache is easy to find.. However its in a mess with water destroying the log book. Container full of water

AMAZING. The contents of the cache were questionable but good hiding spot

In fun find found this with my sister TFTC greetings from VermontAlso, literally walked right up to it, picked it up thought it wasnt the geocache looked at the hint, and then realized it was

TFTC - its a bit damp inside. We opened it up and tried to dry things out a bit.

Out for a pie at the hotel and a quick cache TFtc

A sneaky wee hide, tftc

With Easter weekend upon us we decided to take a quick trip to Otago so we could ride the rail trail bike track. This has been on our bucket list for years so we decided last week that we would pack up the campervan and come and do it.Todays plan was to carry along the rail trail to Middlemarch find the caches along the way (and a few others that were nearby).There really are some fabulous buildings in this area.Thanks for placing this cache and thanks for the smiley.

Found it

Great cache thanks. Took awhile to remember press button B.. Haven't heard that phrase since I was a kid..! Great hide. Original book etc wet, I added more paper in plastic bag.

Ah, that was a fast find. Neat building behind.

Wet log book. But otherwise very clever.

Our NEW ZEALAND - TASMANIA - AUSTRALIA JOURNEY takes us to beautiful places and provides us with an incredible number of wonderful moments and experiences.Occasionally we also visit a few GeoCaches along the way.Three days on the rail trail by bike....After the many planets..., we also made a short stop here. A grip, but unfortunately the guest book is wet and dirty...!Thank you for placing, maintaining and caring snapfish2 from SwitzerlandPS: Translated with the Deepl app

Very cool cache container. A couple of muggles on their walk made it a bit hard. TFTC

Really cool cashe

A quick find whilst out exploring the area - tftc

A southern adventure for a wee family Easter school holiday trip. After a few days in Dunedin we were now in Naseby for a couple days. Spent a lot of time in Naseby and Ranfurly growing up. A break in the rain with a wee shred of sunshine so we headed out for a drive and wander in the patchy sunlight whilst it lasted....Decided to have a looksee at Waipiata...Cool cache, thanks.

Great cache thank you. A bit we though so I rebagged the logbook.

Log wet needs maintenance

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I now live full-time in our caravan & travel the country visiting places we want to visit … we are currently parked up at the Waipiata Domain … while here, we decided to go for a walk to grab a few caches … this cache was easily found … albeit with some workers patching the road further down the street, log completed (very wet) & then replaced … pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally … TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #3,793 for us.

Found while at Clutha Valley NZMCA rally at Waipiata Domain. TFTC.

A quick find, pub was thriving last night, a great feed and a deserving beer.

Quick easy cache after dinner at pub. Really good food and would totally recommend the pub for dinner. Also a swim in the river nearby was great on a hot day. 31 degrees today.

Cool, easy find. tftc

A quick find. A little bit of water in the container but the cache was dry. Thanks

Love these types of caches - TFTC

Tftc

Great container but the log was wet.

found with mwhitefield TFTC

Love these types of caches - so obvious to a geocacher but not to anyone else. TFTC

A fun hide and in plain sight! We spotted a likely container from the car so it was a quick park and grab! Thanks for the placement Snilos.

Awesome find

Fun container and great spot

Out on a family camping trip, lovely little spot!

East find

Pulled up alongside. Spotted something suspicious as soon as I got out, and decided to investigate. Sure enough there was the cache. Very good. Took me a while to screw the top off - once inside found that the logbook damp but easy enough to write on. SL. Took photos of the Soul Inn nearby. Found with Flamingo4850. Then headed off for lunch at the Waipiata Hotel - yum. TFTC.

Thanks

Nice cache

We found it!

Neat hide, wee guard didn’t draw too much attention

Such a clever cache, totally worth a favourite point. Tftc

We stopped here to take a photo. I spotted something suspicious & it turned out to be a cache. Fav point for a clever cache. Tftc

Easy to find but craftily hidden.

Easy find, about where I expected. As so many others have logged, the logbook is very wet.

TNLN. TFTC.

On a trip south from Tauranga. Nice to collect smiles along the way. Cycling the OTR. Apologies for some previous logs where I forgot to change my log template. Enjoying the fab scenery around these parts. Met up with Dee+ME to cycle with as our muggle hubbies we’re more interested in other things lol.


I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Logged with permission. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

Day three on the OTR. Stayed at Wedderburn Cottages. Bit of a chilly start this morning. Staying at the local tonight .
Cheers

Great spot had no idea I was there thought it had something to do with the power pole. Needs maintenance very wet. TYFTC

Spotted the clever cache - no idea about the hint until I was replacing it. Very good! TFTC Snilos # 17.179

TFTC quick find on a cold evening before
The pub

I had intended to visit this and the other Waipiata caches late yesterday but in the rush to ensure we got a dinner table at the pub I decided caching would have to give way. I returned this afternoon to cache at leisure. I had previously pondered about the hint but on reaching GZ it all became very clear. Nice one. Thanks for your first placement Snilos.

TYFTC

Great cache

Good clue. Nice easy find.

Nice find with a good clue. Time to head to the tavern for some lunch!

Quick easy find. TFTC

Easy find with Cympull

Found with Fisha1288

Had a pretty good idea where the cache should have been - but nothing

Found quite easily not sure about the hint. Tftc

Found it thanka

Very cool

A nice quick find thanks. All quiet at Z today. Fav point for the hide!

Ms_KR and I decided to have an extended Show Weekend break, and today we headed for Queenstown. A lovely day and plenty of little distractions was had by all!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

On our way to Queenstown from Naseby. Made a long weekend for (no) show day in Chch today. The show was cancelled early in the year, maybe for historical reasons. It went ahead after WW2 when soldiers arrived home with flu and the great mixing of people helped it spread. The organizers didn't want to repeat the mistake and spread covid19. We're feeling lucky to have this holiday. Tftc

Contents were all out on the ground- popped them back tftc

Day three of four on the ORT, today riding from Wedderburn to Waipiata; quite a short ride as it turned out...

Having arrived early at our accommodation for the night there was some time to kill so I went for a little ride around to pick off a couple of nearby caches.

Nicely done, this one.

Thanks Snilos

Very cool

Enjoying exploring this lovely area.

camping up in waipiata thought we would do some geocaching good hide

Wow!!! Very cleverTFTC

Day3 on the Otago rail trail and we were heading from Wedderburn to Hyde. Detoured to find this one before stopping for a drink at the local pub. A Muggle was hanging out washing near gz but she had her back to us and didn’t notice as we zoomed in for a quick find

Interesting container, luckily easy enough to find TFTC

Very clever hide. TFTC

Nice hiding spot. Found it straight away and unscrewed it. TFTC

Found it easily. Great hiding place in plain sight. TFTC

Loved the container. Good fun clue. TFTC

Quick park and grab. Being the long weekend, it was a little busy but I think I managed to avoid the muggles. Tftc

Easy find TFTC

Out for a ride today from Ranfurly to Middlemarch with half the team finishing at Hyde which worked well for the transport. Short side trip to this with a muggle friend and spotted quickly. Signed and we were on our way to catch the others. Weather is threatening but holding off at this stage.

TFTC Snilos

Cool sneaky spot

Lived our whole lives here and have never noticed it lol! Thanks to whoever hid it such an easy first cache!
