Gone again so I won't replace

I notice its been MIA since March - maybe disable it until its replaced?

Didn't check the logs first, before searching high & low for this one.

Had a couple of goes at trying to find but no luck

Looked around gum and dug but no find

This was my second visit to this cache. I was here in September 2011 but somehow didn't manage to log the find online. I was a bit worried that I may have got my caches muddled and recorded a DNF as a DF. However, I have checked my claimed finds for that day and am confident I didn't make this mistake. Oh well, I am back in sync now although a few of my milestone finds are not accurate.

There have been a few changes in this area since my last visit. It is turning put to be a very nice location.

Nice little find!!

See taybee log TFTC

by gum it was by a gum and easy found for taybee TFTC

A very nice developing area. TFTC #3627

New log book

Wet log book.

Found it but couldn't write in log as too wet. Will need new log book.

What a lovely little reserve to walk thro. all hidden from the parking spot..

Found while touring the district with Biggles. We had to play property developers just for a bit of fun. TFTC.

Found this cache with Kiwi Explorer on a most enjoyable and productive three day caching raid in the Wairarapa. Apologies in advance for the rather template state of this log. We found over 200 caches in our visit which has left me with rather vague and blurred memories of some of them. Anything that really stood out will get a special mention. The log book in this cache has become saturated. I managed to mark our initials in it but anything else would have ripped it up. Needs a bit of TLC I'm afraid. TFTC, Biggles.

Quickly found. Very close to where we were staying for the weekend. The log book is VERY damp and could do with being changed. TFTC Cheers!

Managed to sort out the best way into the gums and cache. Thanks

We could see the gums off in the distance but took some time to find the best way to drive nearer to them . Once we managed that the cache was soon in hand. Thanks.

# 4504

Quickly found by the youngest member of the EU crew. TFTC

Worked out the access to GZ quickly & retrieved cache with no problems. Left horse & took pet rock. TFTC

Nice new area and secluded little reserve. TFTC

A quick dash accross the empty sections to collect this one. Hopefully the access is maintained after the sub division is finished.

cooooooooolTFTC

Found easily after I had found the hidden entrance to this hidden walkway. However I committed the cardinal caching sin of forgetting my pen! Will return shortly to sign the log. TFTC

Hardest part was finding the road as it wasn't on the navman. Left a pet rock - a grey fox. TFTC

Quick find, thanks

Nice easy find on the way back from a run up Holdsworth - go to the snow line about Rocky outlook but caried on till totara Flats turnoff when going got very snowy.

TFTC

Yep by gum.-Bitsprayer

A quick find, once we trusted the directions (it was hard to spot the access from the road). Found a golf ball, so left by the cache for the next golfing cacher to claim.

#2321. SOme more very clear steams in Masterton; good to see. GOod spot for a cache. TFTC.

Quick detour on the way back to Wellington ... And by gum, wouldn't you know it, found the cache just as I was ready to admit defeat.

A simple and quick find to get us moving for the day.

Nice wee burbling creek as we made our way back to accommodation in Martinborough. Cheers Gav [7906]

"Stuck" in Masterton due to the weather on a "flying" visit... Staying at a Motel just around the corner... so when it finally stopped raining and blowing a gale, I took a quick stroll to shake off the cabin fever...

TFTC!

All good

Nice quick find TFTC

Pretty quick find after a wLk past some very impressive houses. Nice little spot. Tnln tftc

Quick find while in Masterton for the day.

#202 - A nice quick find... Hmmm, did we access it from the correct location? Thought we might have to cross a fence, but we found a small accessway which was very convenient. SL TFTC!

Found during the great Wairarapa weekend cacheathon. Enjoying the wonderful Wairarapa again, a fantastic time, so thanks for bringing us here. Tricky little approach shot to reach this one.

Cache find was straight forward, and cache all in order; rehidden safely as found after signing the log.

TFTC - found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

This is a well hidden reserve. I arrived at GZ and wondered where to start looking, then I turned around and noticed the obvious!

A quick find on a day's cache hunting in the Wairarapa with CrystalFairy. Signed log, TFTC

Did with agcnz on a day long caching trip. Think we came in from the wrong side.. But looks like a lovely reserve.. T4TC

#1634. Interesting access. Hope that this "secret access way" will still be available after all the new houses are built. TNLNSL. TFTC.

A straightforward find after searching for a while before remembering the cache title. TFTC

5111 By gum… it’s a find for us too, many thanks for the placement.

Our last find of the day and of our 3 day Wairarapa visit before heading home. Thank you skindo for all the caches you have placed for us to find, so far we have done 53 of yours, but still a lot to go! We'll have to make another foray soon. TFTC

first time to find it my self good hide

By Gum, almost couldnt find it.

TFTC

Took a bit longer to find than it should have but got there in the end. Had some muggle trouble, “why don’t these people just go away and leave me alone”. TNLN SL TFTC

Nice easy find ... TFTC

Wouldn't have known about the wee track in there if not for the cache. Rather interesting spot. Found after a short search. TFTC.

Well hidden must have looked around the tree several times be fore I found it.Thanks.

Parked in the wrong area and had a pleasant walk to cache site. When I got there realised I didn't have a pen with me and none in cache. Resorted to small stick and writing with dirt. Crude but my name is basically readable. TFTC

Quick find in between the rain. TFTC

Initially got a bit loss trying to find the correct entrance to this cache, but after a bit of driving around located the correct spot , once I did this the cache was quickly found signed and returned home quickly just before it started raining again. TFTC TNLNSL (1986)

oh you mean that side of the ______. A slight adjustment had us in the right place and quite a cute spot too.

Pulled this one out in the dark by torchlight. It was easy to locate. TFTC

Interesting access to a rather nice reserve.

Three beautiful tuis in the tree while we were there. Lovely area, great cache, thanks. 3rd to find.

A welcome FTF in a nice quiet spot.

TFTC.

(Unfortunately, as I was not prompt in logging this find and milnefamily didn't want to wait for me to log my find, I didn't get to log the La Jolla Half Marathon TB http://coord.info/TB392MZ into this cache.)

First to log, but not first to find. Lovely wee area of bush which I haven't been to for quite a while. TFTC

thought me might of been first, but alas 2nd
nice new cache never knew about the spot
