By katie w on 02-Jun-10. Waypoint GC29MNA

Time to close this one.

Puzzle solved and coordinates found quickly. Cache was found almost as quick on our way back north after a weekend of caching to and around Dunedin.

Found with Sevren. See his log tftc

Nice spot, only spoiled by the presence of something near the river and very dead. Some bones near GZ weren't too good a sight either. Still, it all made for a nice break on my cycle ride down LVR, caching on the way.

TNLN. TFTC.

Solved this one a few weeks ago in preparation for our trip home to see the family. A simple puzzle and a lovely hide.

Cute

Found with SpyDude13 and Us04. TFTC.

Found with Lollipop and Us04. TFTC.

Quick find, though there was one quick slip up (might be a record for spils over the given walking distance!). Found with Lollipopcat and SpyDude13. Kia ora for the cache katie w.

Its nice to replace a few of those question marks in the harbour with smilies! No trouble with this one, thanks for the puzzle and cache! And it is a nice little spot to stop!

Day 20 of 31 TICK. Another puzzle solved ages ago just waiting for me to find. Quick trip after work to a very quiet muggle free area, but cold wind blowing, hoping for a quick find. Into bush turn around and there it is, great cache camo. TFTC Log nice and dry even though outside of cache very slimey and icky.

I'd solve a few puzzles before coming south but this was the only one I had time for.
Excellent - both puzzle adn cache.

Working on finding a few of the puzzle caches that we solved earlier when in puzzle solving mode. Nice to get out in the sun today and find a furry critter. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

The co-ords (once we'd solved the puzzle) were spot on. Found with debsnz

Picking up a few puzzles around this area. Walked around in cucles for a bit before finding the cache.

What was Fuzzy became clear with a little manipulation !!! Solved back in Motueka but is always nice to find the actual cache !!! Enjoyed solving puzzles down this way thanks for the time and effort in making these puzzle caches for us to find Thanks for thr cache

Love this sort of puzzle and as soon as i bought the page up it was obvious where we needed to go . Proof is in the actual visit and getting the log signed which was no problem TFTC

We had solved this puzzle prior to coming to Dunedin for the NZ Mega Event. We could imagine this to be lovely spot on a warm & dry day. Took a while for the GPS to settle down with the tree cover and wet weather but we soon had the interesting caching container in hand. TFTC.

Appreciate the extra effort with the container. A quick find on a beautiful day.

I visited your cache as part of a week-long self indulgent Geocaching trip from Nelson to Bluff and back again. I apologise for not leaving a completely personalised log, but I do want to thank you for the time, money and effort you put into placing your caches. Without people like you who place caches, there would be nothing for the rest of us to come and find. You are fantastic

This cache was found as part of the New Zealand MEGA 2012 Event trip.

My magic spell was caste to clarify the fuzziness and numbers soon appeared before my eyes. A very cute cache container that made us smile. TFTC

Another puzzle we had the finals for as part of our preparation. Once at GZ ozibags only needed a minute or two to locate the cache.

Thaks for the puzzle

Day 4 on our caching trip to Dunedin for the NZ MEGA 2012 event with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ozibags, Ghostgumsand MrMeccano. The morning was spent wandering the Flagstaff hunting in the mist & rain, rambling and plundering. After the CITO event, the afternoon was spent starting at the Octagon and heading through North Dunedin, around Forsyth Barr Stadium, University of Otago and heading out towards Leith Valley.

Sorry about the late lo but almost caught up now


TFTC, katie w!

Well the puzzle was solved by accident as it turned out. Arrived at GZ and Ozibags found the container, one of his favourites as it turned out!

Day 4 of Cache Hunting at NZ Mega 21012 with Gunnie69, Ghostgums, Mr Meccano, Ozibags and TheFourBees

Another quick find by Ozibags

Group sticker in log & away..


TNLNSL

Thanks katie w

This is the kind of fuzzy magic I like, the kind that leads to a cache I mean... Having sorted out a set of final coords some time ago in Aus, the cache was added to the list of finds for the Mega event weekend... [^]

Out and about with a group of other Brisbane hunters, we headed in for the hunt and found ourselves arriving at a likely place for a hide... Good start... Shortly after we got there, OziBags spotted and extracted the cache... A group sticker was added to the log and it was tucked away again.

Found in the company of fellow Queensland hunters Kaisho53, OziBags, TheFourBees, Ghostgums and Mr Meccano.

Cheers katie w.

Unlike other puzzles with checkers we did solve this one before flying over to NZ and gave it nod to find.
Great spot for a cache, weather cold but ok, so another enjoyable cache found with Coruze and Bushbaby321.

troobloo

Solved at home in OZ. Found with troobloo and Bushbaby321 while at the NZ MEGA. Cute hide! Lovely spot for a cache. SL TN Left some PT's along the way. T4TC

#4204. Descided we just had time for a couple of puzzles en route to the Mega, despite the snow that was falling was we reached the highest point of the Northern Motorway. Conditions had cleared a bit by the time we got to GZ (though the foliage was very wet). Easy find once I had sussed a route to GZ. TFTC.

Despite the blizzard conditions as we approached the last summit before reaching Dunedin, we decided we had time to stop and pick up a few puzzle caches before registering at the Mega. Fortunately by the time we reached GZ, the snow had stopped but the vegetation was dripping wet making searching unpleasant. Pleased when StreetWalker tracked down the cache.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

Sure was fuzzy when trying to get here in hail, windy & rain! Love these KatieW puzzles that I can solve!

Got a good looking set of co-ords - will be looking for the GZ in Oct.

Dropped by with a new log book, and larger container, which also has pen and pencil.

A nice spot to visit, and a quick find. Tftc.

Solved the puzzle the other day and got to GZ today. Quickly found the cache guardian who was at first reluctant to relinquish the log but I eventually convinced him to give it to me. Signed the log and then gave it back to him

This is a nice little spot that I hadn't been to before. It would be great on a nice hot summer day which today unfortunately wasn't

Cache was dry and in good condition.

Thanks
Frewster

Cool hide, both of the code and the cache. Thanks

Solved a while ago and finally going past on the way back home to collect. TNLN Thanks

All good, did a little CITO near GZ.

A bonus cache while out caching with Rediguana today. TFTC

Solved this a while back, and found fairly easily today whilst cleaning up a couple of solved puzzles. Cheers Gav [10170]

A quick solve with 1st resort.
A short stop on the way up to another cache in the early evening murk to sign the log, still some snow lying about and the stream was flowing fast.
Will bring some lettuce for 'sitting tenant' if in the area again.
TFTC

nice drive up to the spot, thanks sonia26642 for the hint and the driving what a cutie!

Recently went to an event up here in Auckland, where I was given a presentation on mystery cache solving skills... a similar one to this was used as an example...
So this was pimp squeaks!
The finding involved a bit more searching, but tunfisk got the cache easily enough.
Enjoyed the quiet streets, as then I could practice my driving!! (Much nicer than trying to learn in Auckland traffic...)
Nice camo/box/cache!!
TFTC!!

Really simple find cache was easily spotted.

I was a bit slow and missed out on the original puzzle.
I liked the cache container.
Thanks.

Well with the right GZ this time it didn't take too long to turn up the cache.
Great to get this done.

The google earth update has taken all the fun out of the puzzle, but I have done the next best thing with it where the information required is still in the same location, only changed in format. Cache is still hidden at the same place. many thanks to Gibler for his communication re his DNF.

Oh I see... no wonder no cache was turned up.
thanks.

The fuzzy magic has recently gone astray with a recent GE update, so the puzzle needs a new clue. Will fix as soon as.

hmmm I will confirm the co-ords with the owner.
Not having the picture with me didn't help....

5795 A nice random spot for some fuzzy magic, cool container... we like, TFTC

Found at 12:20 on 08/11/2010.

Driving up the road and realised that a cache should be around here some-place. Searched for a while then got the right spot and went straight to it...

TFTC katie w!

Nice one TFTC

It is funny how all trees can look alike after a while but after a bit of head scratching and the prowess of Bitsprayer and Drawp the clever cache container was found
Thanks
Erninz

We finally managed to sort out some coordinates which looked a possibility and today was the opportunity to check out our logic. It worked for us. TFTC

Good to get this one, took a few minutes to find the right spot.

Thanks Bitsprayer

Neat. nice spot indeed cheers {;)]

The puzzle was quickly solved, after initially trying to find something more complicated. Although GZ seemed a bit unlikely initially, the cute cache was soon found. TFTC

TFTC SL I like the cache very well thought of suited the scene bet there are more of these in the stream somewhere well done thanks

Good cache

2nd of 6 for the afternoon. TFTC.

TFTC. Found with Johnnygoescaching.

2nd of the afternoon for the geodogz. Tftc.

Cute hide, We had a great time at this cache with Guwapo relocating a good number of stones in to the middle of the water. Thanks for the cache.

Stopped off on a freezing cold morning bike ride, We noted that Adventure Tharon now has cute stickers with a motorbike logo, but couldn't sign the log because we had no pen with us. You could say it's taught us to check the information on the website, just as "A Mathematical Dozen" taught us to do the puzzle.

Found on a day out caching with ZCA.

quick find with nofs cheers

Haha! good puzzle don't know when I'll be down to sign the log... last trip was magic, but so long ago my memory of the area is quite fuzzy...
TFTPuzzle & the reminder we must stop putting off another SI roadtrip!

Aaaa....the warehouse..!! Got the co-ords but not get the letters on the page. Quick shuff in the right direction and found it. TFTC. Great puzzle!!!

[SUPER BIG YAY! FTF @ 8:40am and #400 for me!!! After an excellent week of annual leave and caching in areas I had not been able to get to with children (swampy, cloud forest, Davies etc) which included what are now some of my favourite caches I could not think of a better way to end the week and bring in my 400th find. A FTF on Not Obvious for Some four minutes earlier then a dash up the road for a try on this one. Spotted Fuzzy from the roadside and popped down for a little celebration jig (sorry, no photos of that!). It wasn't until I had departed that I worked out what the first part of the puzzle was] - ironically I used the mobile version of that tool to get to this spot without actually obtaining the coordinates! [Unfortunately the jnrs are both unwell and are not up to much more than sitting in the car, so I had to give up thoughts of a FTF on Weirly Interesting Three today. A fantastic start to the day! TFTC!!!!]
