Eh whats up doc

Lunch was lost for us tonight.

no lunch for us tonight

Couldn’t find it today on 2 attempts. Looks like someone ate the lunch

We biked out and around this neat track collecting caches along the way ...this one I could not find look in all the oblivious places and followed the hint still no luck. contacted the CO and logged with his permission as we feel it may have gone walk about thanks Riser for a great cache and I can only imagine a novel placement

Was walking about on the Boswell's track and thought I'd check on the cache that I have already found. Unfortunately it wasn't in it's hiding spot or in the vicinity as far as I could see. So it looks like this one has gone walkabout.

Sister tikitour and I were out on the trail gathering a cache for the Pokeman series when I stopped here to look for a bit of the lost lunch. I stopped near GZ and soon spotted the missing white vegetable. A clever little cache, thanks.

Good hiding place

found almost immediately. love the funny camo still i wouldn't want i t for lunch:).TFTC

Lost lunch we found on the way to NFC caches. I liked the place. Not far from the busy road, but nice. I let Kačenka find the right place. It took a little longer, I had to tell her .

Thanks for the cache.

Ztracený oběd jsme našli při cestě za NFC keší. Místo se mi líbilo. Sice kousek od rušné cesty, ale pěkné. Nechal jsem Kačenku, ať si najde to správné místo. Trvalo to trochu déle, musel jsem ji napovídat .

Díky za keš.

Out on the bike again, for only 2nd time in 15 years, to get some exercise and find some caches. Cheaper than driving the car everywhere, but a lot more awkward managing the GPS and riding one handed on a bumpy metal track.

Initially rode way passed GZ and when I rechecked the GPS, had to backtrack 100m. I really will have to get a handle bar mount if I am going to keep using the bike. Lunch then took a few minutes to find, because I short cutted reading the description,,,,,,, again...!! One day I will learn..

Carried on along the Waimahanga track and almost run over a jogger on the next narrow bridge. Whilst waiting near the next cache GZ for the seemingly endless muggles to pass by, the same jogger came back around the corner, fast and obviously on a mission. "0B80B8 ??" he queried and I had to wonder how he could posibly know that. Turns out the CO, Riser5, had seen my GPS when I passed him on the bridge. He had then checked the cache log, and turned around straight away, to try and chase me down.

Great to meet you Riser. I have really enjoyed your interesting and varied caches so far. ( And another trackable discovered too... )

Awesome cache took a while to find right mound daughter found it

On a bike ride with the kids. Thanks.

Nice easy find on a ride with the kids.

Rusty, Rebel and myself did this cache on our way to the final of NFC cache. We were looking at the wrong hump, but it needed to be checked out all the same, but eagle eye Rebel spotted something not quite right on another hump and we soon had some lumpy vegetables to deal with, Oh wait... it's not what it seems... Ok, it's the cache, but where's the paper? Oh, right, rusty has some spare somewhere. Thanks for that Riser5.

This one had us scratching our heads, as we thought we were looking for a lunchbox, but it was only on re-reading the description, that I discovered my error.

With gorby and rebel98: was a little worried about the large mound, but then we looked around, and rebel98 soon had the cache. He has been on fire today finding caches, when we opened it, no log, so we replaced it with some waterproof paper

Thanks for another tricky Riser5 hide! Lovely walkway in the mangroves.

353 Road works all around. Granddaughter and I caching

Replaced log sheet

Found OK but another water logged logbook as per an earlier 'needs maintenance' note.

TFTC

Glad to finally get this one as we have had a few dnf in the past. It was in the obvious place and we were kicking ourselves we didn't find it on previous attempts.

Another day out exploring our local area. The map has this one on a road, but went for a bit of a walk. Found more of your lunch today

137- Found this on the mound in the ground. Log to wet to sign.

Log paper is dripping wet so it wasn't even possible to put another piece of paper in for you as it would have immediately got wet too. Unable to sign on log properly.

Visiting from Tauranga and loving the caching here. Got our bikes out today and had a great ride. Easy find once we got to the right mound. Log too wet to sign properly, but our scribble is in green pen. TFTC

Walking mob dog and mini mob riding buke expedition. Log very wet. TFTC

Couldn't log as log was wet and needs replacing. Nice and easy quick find. TFC

Up early this morning with HKCB for a last caching roadtrip for the year and a chance to complete a number of missions that we had set ourselves.
Left Hamilton at 2am (it was about to be quite a long day), the day was at a much more reasonable hour by now aswe made our way into early afternoon.
This was our thirty eighth cache of the day and having met up with Alpenmilch80 earlier.
Having completed the MCSeries and now collected the last confluence point that we needed it was just the chance to grab a few last caches before heading back to Whangarei.
Back in Whangarei it was a good chance to collect a number of caches we have been eying up (as at this point its more about quality than quantity before heading to dinner at a nearby event for the CO

Thanks for the placement, THanks for the cache

A little while ago an idea was thrown about to head north for a final caching roadtrip for the year. So along with C&D a rough plan was formed with a certain few caches, a confluence point visit, an event to attend, and the rest of the plan was to be made up as we went along. So with a 2am start Saturday morning in Hamilton it was going to be a long weekend. Also Alpenmilch80 had decided to join in on the fun as well.

After a large detour to Dargaville to visit a confluence point we had a hour or two spare before the event we had planned to attended started so we decided to find a few caches around this area. This one wasn't to hard to find, but that could of easily been different. I have found similar hides on this series before so I knew what to keep an eye out for.

On a geocache hunt together with Cats&Dragons and HKCB caching our way up to Whangarei. It was a great day on the road with some very good cache finds . Had some time left before the event in town to collect some more smiley's. TFTC

you lunch looked like it might be about to take root. cool cache. tftc

Had some help from my mates along a nice walk. TFTC

Found with a little help from Liz

First day geocaching. Joined my girlfriend PageHeart to hunt for this one

Nice one

Love it

TFTC I love potatoes.

What a cool one! Found with honeykz

Easy find on the way past
TFTC

Always a nice place for a walk. No problems with the cache. TFTC

Hope you weren't too hungry when you lost your lunch. We had a little snack on the way so we wouldn't be tempted to eat your lunch. Quite a tricky cache but the clues worked well. This walkway is great. Kids were keen to do a little explore up the nearby path. Must have been someones private track as it looked like someone's garden at the top. TFTC

This one took me a while (and up an intreguing little path) but found it in the end
. TFTC

Sorry to say I didn't have a pen with me so took a photo. Great cache on a great walkway. Love the cache as well.

Was walking by this cache today, so stopped to have a look for it. After focussing on the wrong area to begin with, I soon spotted the cache when my attention shifted to another spot! TFTC!

Replaced log

Log very wet and disintegrating. Needs replacing.

Yummy vege for lunch! TFTC.

Tftc

Rainy day for it but great walk

Vegetable doesn't look quite so tasty to eat now but still seems to be growing from that mound Unable to log our trip as log needs replacing.

Paper very fragile from water damage - the last 10mm tore off as I was (carefully!) trying to log. No futher room for logging, sorry.

Thanks

Found it. Log wet. TFTC.

(NZers be careful as morning caches are sometimes recorded as the day before!)

Another great find while in the area.

Good clues found easy

Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!

Found your lunch and the cache, left both behind.

Logged as RAD together with renelm and aedk.

Difool - #1076 - 2013-10-24@12:38 NZDT

Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.

TFTC!

From the title, we thought this was something else, but fortunately it wasn't It seems there is something missing from the camo, but that doesn't make it any less good. It gets an FP

Found at 12:39 - #4233 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

#6239. First of the series for us; something a bit different. A short walk, but about all we were up to near the end of long day's caching. TFTC.

It took us a few minutes to find the cache, despite the clear instructions on the cache page . Very cool hide. TFTC

Don't wander too far up the bank.

Interesting cache container, but log quite damp. Signed and returned to the correct spot. TFTC !

A nice spot to visit, many thanks for the placement

TFTC

Slowly picking up bits of your lunch, nice to find another piece but you'd be hungry by the time it's taken to find them. Thanks for another cache in the series.

Im picking up the odd bit of lunch each time Im up here, but its going to take time to collect a meal!! Thanks.

Found it while out doing some Sunday caching.

Clever hide.And a quick hide by Mr Cacher. TFTC

Replaced log sheets

Awesome cache. TFTC

Liked the idea of this little series shame we didn't have time to find them all but we were on a bit of a mission this weekend. TFTC

Out and about for a weekend of geocaching with SethRaven. Very cool concept. TFTC

Found using the hint in a spot that I had already looked at. Great cammo and a nice location for a stroll. Unfortunately the skies opened just as I replaced the cache so I headed back to the car instead of exploring further. Log was soaked and needs attention. TFTC

Log is soaked and needs replacing.

Myself and my daughter found this one. Good track and good cache. Thanks

Met a fellow cacher Rednuam6 as we parked the car so wandered in together yakking caches. Interesting hide, log wet though. TFTC!

Had just parked the car when another one turned up! Had to laugh when I saw the passenger using a GPS!!! Made intros and walked In together yakking. Found the cache and fed the local mozzies while still yakking! Great to meet the 2 of you!

Pestered by a passing shower, but hey that's what raincoats are for.

TFTC

Gps said higher.......all clues make sense!!!!!!!

fastest find of the day, work out where before leaving track. Just time to sign log between groups of walkers.

Couldn't leave Whangarei without finding a cache in the the Whangarei guru's home town. Had a quick look at GZ before almost being run down by 2 cyclists. Another search no luck, checked out the clue - couldn't even see anything that resembled that. Read the logs, good grief, if Ghecko had problems I was sunk. Rechecked the compass and felt I needed to widen search area. This time went straight to it, no problem. Note to self 'follow GPSr, don't get distacted by bikes and don't read logs'. TFTC

Good camo job--enjoying this series. TFTC

Good camo! Would of been hard without the extra clue! Well done

Catching up on logs, did ages ago with butters* & Kenny897, have computer access now .TFTC.

Rounding up all your lost lunch items today. This was the third item we found. Missed it on the first search, but then took a closer look. Thanks.

# 3058

Found your lunch. TFTC

We found your lunch but would not want to eat it!! TFTC

What a neat camo job. No pencil in cache so scratched initials on jog with stick!! TFTC

Missed in first pass by young EU crew member! TFTC

We are becoming quite fans of your cunning cache camos... Honours to Mr P for the find. t4tc

Our second meal of the day, and another quick easy find, of a nicely crafted cache. TFTC

Second time back here for another search...success this time. Looks like the drought has effected the lost lunch! TFTC

TFTC

Pleasant walk to GZ and we spent some time searching for this one before we discovered the excellent hide T4TC.

Catching up on logs. TFTC

Late Log, Thanks for the cache.

Nice to see some imagination with Cache design! T4TC
