Out and about on Sunday morning looking for caches to drop off some of our (too) many TB's that we picked up at the recent Mega event. The geo-nana found this one - she's good at these ones, that's why we bring her! No room for TB's or GC's but still a nice spot to visit. TFTC

4788. Decided to spend a couple of extra days in Dunedin after the Mega Event. This was day two and the sixth cache find of the day - not too far from our camp spot. This one was very easy as we spotted the hiding place while driving up the road towards the cache, having read the hint in the car! Nice to visit this area with such a nice view. Big Grin Thanks, Rodney and Iris.

Was in Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 8 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 4 of the road trip.

After finding GC2HWZA - Finn's Favourite (Otago), this was the next cache that I had on our list that we needed to find today. We decided that it was time to leave Jubilee Park and work our way around and pick up a few more cachesaround the area.

Since we were in the area it was a quick walk to GZ once we found a safe parking spot it was a quick and easy walk to GZ as we arrived at GZ we managed to find the cache quite quickly, retrieved, signed and replaced it back as found, very quiet at GZ. Thanks thegingermoose for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot. TFTC TNLNSL (5098) Yes our K9 freind especially our German Shepard, had his special loves around the Gisborne when I use to take him around on his outings.

My apologies for the lateness of this log. I'm back in Dunedin for a few days and only now realized I'd missed login a few found with Rosmar and FMZ on a cache raid during the NZMega event. Seemed like I was a yoyo in and out of the car.... and I missed out on logging a few. Mighta been the run-in with the cops that night! They musta been wondering about all the rental cars and nuts peering in bushes and de-webbing pipes and poles all over town! I think we quit at about 3AM....

Thanks for placing this cache and adding to our fun. It's a player driven game after all.

Where have you moved to and are you still caching? All the best.

Found with Mporokosa. We had to wait for the teenage muggles inn the nearby house to go back inside. Thank goodness for the hint, as the GC was in nab obvious place to look, and true to the description, but around 15 metres from wherer the coordinates took us.

So glad there was a hint because the coordinates were off.

Grabbed this one on the way home today, after stopping at a cache in Mornington which I had no chance of picking up due to the muggle mania going on!
I had a good hunt around at what I thought was GZ, but I must have been a good 10m off. Had to use the clue to point me in the right direction. The cache wasn't where I expected to find it given the info in the description, I replaced it as found, but it may pay for the owner to go and have a hunt around and see if it is where it ought to be.

Signed the logbook on 28 August 2011 at 13:25:00.

Found on the way home from a failed attempt at the new Earthcache waypoint. Saw an elegant version of this type of cache recently - GC2DBMT where there was a woven holder providing both camouflage and a place to put the cache. And of course GC1MDVW "Cabbage and Cream" is a classic!
