A nice rest area thank you. The log slips were sodden but I squeezed my name in using my RITR pen.
All the log slips are sodden. They need to be replaced please. The container does not appear to be watertight.
4-week family trip through NZ - Find #170!A short break in our drive to Dunedin.TFTC!
Well, 2023 and Chrissy holiday over, heading back to ChCh from my old stomping ground in Lumsden. By myself. Perfect for some en route caches - till at least Clinton. See how I go from there.Nice and easy. Cheers!

Nice quick find on a very windy day. Pulled over for lunch and got the cache at the same time. Thanks for the placement.
Found covered by smaller objects than hinted. TFTC and greetings from Singapore
A muggle vehicle was here, but we blocked their view with the campervan.
It was nicely tucked away.
Thanks for putting this here for us to find

On way home from an early family Christmas down south.
We lived in this town for 15 years before heading to Australia. This was the turn off to where we used to live when coming back from Central. Tftc

good parking at all of these along Stead Street .
We were down in Invercargill for a week or so and i managed to get out and locate quite a few caches around this area. Most were finds but there were a couple of D N F and a couple of "help" e mails to owners etc and i finally located them . I really enjoyed Invercargill as it was a good and easy size to drive around esp after 6.00pm when i often went out for an hour or so- there was very little traffic and very easy parking often right near G Z. I hope i have not muddled too many of these cache as some i did log earlier on and others have had to wait .
Thank you for these caches

Liked the name on this one - maybe because i wish i was nearly there! Anyways thanks Gore visited a cache each side to stretch legs and stopped for coffee inbetween. TFTC. Now back on the road chasing those TMGT's where they lie.
Cache 482 Another quick park and grab on my way up to an event in Dunedin, luckily no body needed to use the weigh station while I parked and dashed this cache, cache in great shape T4TC
#19027. Quick find in a decent-size rest area. We were nowhere nearly "there", but we had finally made it out of Gore. TFTC.
Found with StreetWalkerNZ as we slowly make our way north from Invercargill. We encountered a bit of rain in Gore, but luckily it cleared up and we were able to carry on caching 
.
A vehicle was parked in the rest area, with a couple sitting inside but I was able to (through good luck rather than good management) park our car in between them and GZ so we were shielded while searching. TFTC.

Yep Nearly at Gore, but its taken the day. Lots of side trips! Got this one tagged. Cheers
Friday 13. Balcultha to Gore and back. Another long day with Gore on the agenda. But got sidetracked with back to basics with the ABC series. So lets hit the road!
Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

One of those that you say "I can't work out why I didn't find it last time"
In my defence the large stone by the fence was a goo decoy!
Thanks

Quick lunch stop. Missed it first time around, got it after a sandwich. Then a muggle parked in front of it. Time for a coffee and wait.
Missed this on the first pass and went looking around other trees. But then came back and made a quick find. TFTC
