By bumandworker on 13-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2J792

Cache replaced. Thanks elliott13

Same, no fun with that dog keeping guard right next to the cache...

Didn't find

I had same problem as previous logger. Dog sent me away

Not really a DNF as the dog was giving to much attention. Hopefully I can come back when he's out.

Quick easy find while out biking- TFTC

It really was humming...not to be confused with a hummer!

Heading away for a bit of Orienteering at Nationals.
Grabbing a few caches along the way.

Great little cache!

Finally, I day we can both agree on! Is 7/7/2021 7 July 2021 or July 7, 2021. We are both right.

The cache was hidden with lots of loose camo, but a little poking revealed the other camo device and the cache itself. TFTC.

Enjoying a walk around Bright water ..and gathering a few geocaches .
Thanks B&W

Lots of humming today. I also liked the downpipe placement adjacent. Lots of ingenuity. Thanks for the cache bumandworker

My first find after lunch.
I am being taxi Mum for my son and daughter in law for the Heaphy Track and finding a few geocaches. I stayed in Motueka today and will drive over the hill tomorrow. Thanks bumandworker for creating this hide. It was find 9621 for me.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

Cool recycling Staying in Brightwater for a few days and enjoying the lovely weather. Got on the bike to find a few caches in the area. TFTH

Great walk thank you!

Someone was working in his garden when I came looking for this one, but the fence was a great shield - if only their dog wouldn't bark that loud. Not at first place I looked, but at second. Nice little cache, replaced where found near the feature. Now quickly back to the car

Tried approaching this from a side street but no access. So we parked at Rutherford Memorial and walked back to snag and tag this one. Cheers

Awesome! Its a fine day here and in Nelson, so Toby and I headed over the hill for some caching, shopping and the most important thing, the event hosted by the Birthday guys. Picked up Bullertrouts Bro and went exploring for a few hours. Great weather and great time. Cheers

Not much humming excpet birds when I visited! TFTC!!

Please note. You do not need to touch the feature, cache not on it. Should be close by at ground level.

Nice quick find, tho couldn't be secretive with neighbouring dogs giving me away. Tftc

quick find here today on a quiet sunny day. TFTC

Day 14 in Newzealand. Today we drove from Murchison to Nelson.
A very beautiful Country with lovely places. We were able to find nice Caches and See Lots of interesting places.
Thank you for showing us this place.
Tftc

Nach einer angenehmen Nacht in Murchison, geht die Reise heute weiter nach Nelson. Die Landschaft änderte sich erneut und wir durften viele schöne Dosen und Erinnerungen sammeln. Zum Nachtessen gings dann zu einer leckeren Pizzeria.

Greets from Switzerland

A quick find down this little path after the event today. TFTC B&W.

International Geocaching Day today, and with a couple of events on in the top of the south I decided today will be a trip to Nelson, since it seeems I have not been there for yonks.
So a quick catch up with the Boomtown Massive over an eggs bene early doors at the local event, then a drive to Nelson. With an upcoming trip south, I decided I will target a few Nelson caches to fill in holes in the D/T and Hidden Month matrices. This will help clarify what I need to do down there. Sandwiched in between was the Nelson event of course; and a few lesser goals and plan Bs.
As it panned out, it was a reasonably successful day. Caught up with the ephemeral Capperz, who was flitting around the place also, but had managed to ditch the whanau at a mall for long enough to go for a drive up Aniseed Valley road and get a few. Then we went our own ways, and it was some cache maintenance and a drive toward Mapua to get a few just before there, before making the way slowly back down a less busy road. A 20+ day and good fun. Logs signed ricardinho, ric.nz or RP where space is limited. Thanks to all the COs.

With the last souvenir insight, SJT_NZ and I tackled a few caches before the weather watch kicked in. A quick find here and all in good order.

A quick find with Tregearp on a wet afternoon hunting numbers as the deadline for the Hidden Creatures challenge nears and we only needed a few more each.

A quick find. All in good order. Signed log and replaced as found.

Thanks B&W for yet another cache.

Out for a walk with the dog. All quiet on a week day and quickly spotted, signed and replaced. Thanks for the cache.

Found it with Jubey01. TFTC!

Another easy find on one of the walking/bike tracks around Brightwater. tftc

Out with JegsBigg Senior on a walk after tea...of course I grabbed some caches along the way. A nice quick find to start the walk. TFTC

Quick and easy

Easy find while on a bike ride.

Nice one.

Not much action today with the spring showers about, but I did find somone's pen!
TFTC

Aaah humm !

2 easy

Found this one ages ago by accident while out playing with the kids and today I upgraded to premium so I can finally log it. Tftc

Heard this bird humming. TFTC. Nice flat walk

The only thing humming beside this was the local kids playing baseball.

Not much humming today - except from very near the cache. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(2383)

I tried to hum along [:o)]
But I'm a shocking vocalist
Cache found with out us being spotted by the neigbours

TFTC, it shows great taste [^]

Yes it was still humming TFTC.

Found on caching mish with Ganeshotdarts. TFTC!
No Trackables inside however.

Gotya! Night caching with my awesome missus Obscenefairy as we have so much fun looking for caches in the dark. TFTC!! Trackable missing

TFTC - a quick one.

Found it Done it before back when it was
a public cache

Out on a bike ride to Brightwater for an ice cream. After the ice cream a little ride arownd reveled a cache our two TFTC

Easy find to boost the numbers in a rather ordinary location. And quite peaceful this sunny Monday.
Note for "onedude" (25/1/15), these transformer boxes are not a danger. The metal box is not live. The box is there to protect you from the danger within. There may be some electro-magnetic fields, most of which will be absorbed by the steel box.

Made a quick detour and grab on the way back from Wakefield. Despite the 'to-be-expected' urban weekend hum, I was in and out without any bother.

Flying in the face of the advice of a previous finder I touched the green metal, and I am still here to tell the tale.

Thanks

Time for one more quick one before heading for home. And it was. Thanks for the smilie

A weekend trip to Nelson to attend the event then cache our way back to Blenheim via Brightwater, Wakefield and 88 Valley Road was hatched earlier in the week and with Pi Day kindly offering up not one, but two shiny souvenirs, it was agreed that we would head over the hill, again!
Saturday morning to the Event, sleep in the car Saturday night (for me, the Seagnoid would take his bivvy tent and sleeping bag) then a long and slow trip back to bag as many caches as possible. Somehow though, this was lost in communication and the Seagnoid kindly volunteered himself to be Joe le taxi on Saturday night so the whole thing was brought forward 24 hours. My G P S has packed a sad and won't work anymore so I was on borrowed equipment and hastily loaded a G S A K list of potential finds, and some solved puzzles, and off we set at about 5:30 from sunny Blenheim. Grabbed caches before it got too dark to keep going, and managed 6 by torch light which helps towards one of my missing M G S C attributes, yay, just the Events to go now to qualify. At last it's Pi day. Wake up after an uncomfortable and too warm, then warm enough, then too cold night.
On the road home, the long way round, via Brightwater, Wakefield and 88 Valley and St Arnaud.
A short walk here after parking near the Virtual, Traditional and Wherigo location
No problems with the find, replaced as found
T F T C b&w

[green] Suddenly I find this weekend is free, So capperz and I set off to the Pi Day event in Nelson. And to grab a few puzzles. Gotta get them souvenirs! And, since we are out there anyway, grab a few dozen caches along the way.
Spent Friday night in Grampions Reserve, got to the event, and now heading back to Blenheim via St Arnaud. main objectives out this way - a wherigo and a letterbox cache. But gotta get there first, and this cache was in the way. Easy find.

Out for a bit more caching before we fly home tomorrow. SL TFTC

Hmm - took a while to find the way in. TFTC.

Not a fan of the cache location - it should probably be moved as it's in a potentially dangerous location (near electrical substation equipment). For future finders - you do not need to (and should not) touch anything metal, including the green painted metal. Otherwise, TFTC and greetings from England! Sorry for the moan!

6621. Out on a geocaching mission from Tahuna to Brightwater. This was cache number fifteen for the day. A quick find in a quiet area. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Replace cache, now micro

Couldn't find nuffink.

Bookmarked to check (see link)

No luck at all unfortunately!

quick find with two of our grandchildren, had a trackable to place so thought this would be a good place to move it on quickly tftc

This was found with the aid of torchlight after deciding the best way to avoid muggles was to wait until there wasn't likely to be any, and it worked a treat! TFTC.

After a long hot day at the grindstone this cache was just what the doctor ordered. A muggle free, dark and quiet wander to GZ. No GPS needed, we travelled by sound. TFTC

Many thanks for this cache.

I found it quick with a little help from my dad.

Heard this one before I saw it! TFTC

Not an obvious walkway, but a very pleasant one. Gz seems to be a rubbish dump TFTC. http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif

Yes was certainly humming today, TFTC.

Took longer than anticipated to find the right point to enter this walkway. TFTC

Neighbours were out and about so I had to take care, TFTC, #5341
