On a great day out exploring the Karikari Peninsula and visiting Coca Cola Lake. Very little signage but well worth finding, especially as the sea is not swim friendly as we await Cyclone Cody. The water is an amazing colour and so warm. TFTC

QEF after afternoon swimming in Coca-Cola! GPS initially pointed to a much larger area of plant that I was NOT going to enter! As I walked away the GPS continued to count down until I was at a much smaller clump and the cache was easy to retrieve without scratches. SL TNLN TFTC

We are on our summer holiday, we usually take a few weeks and travel around the South Island, but this year we are heading around the North Island. Heading up the West coast and back down the East coast. Finding only a select few caches along the way, we are mostly targeting some challenges we have qualified for, some large size caches, some that fill gaps in our date placed grid, a few D/T combinations, some with lots of favourite points, letterboxes and anything else that grabs our fancy.

I had a fall earlier in the week so I was now pretty much out of action with a very sore and swelling ankle, so I am only going to help find the nearby caches and gk is going to find any of the caches that require more of a walk. After spending time at the Te Kuiti medical / hospital centre my sprain has turned into a fracture and I am in a moon boot and told to keep weight off my leg.

We thought we might go for a swim here, but I tend to like to see what is in the water around me and the water here was a bit like tea, so I decided to pass, even though there were heaps of people in the water.
The cache was not where we expected it to be but GK found it just the same.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley.

With the mega being postponed a plan was hatched for some of the Team SEAC crew to head north for some fun. Today was day 2 and the Karikari Peninsula was eyed up as the target area.

With so many muggles on the beach below we all agreed stealth mode was needed and for the first time on the trip actually managed to keep our voices down and loud laughter to a minimum.

Didn't take long to find.

Thanks for the cache.
 
24-Oct-20
Great day out with friends from Auckland for the long weekend. Day 2 of our trip. Sorry for logs been generic. All logs signed as SEAC.
 
24-Oct-20
Lagoon was very popular on this sunny hot day so we had to be quite stealthy. Signed as team seac.TFTC!
 
24-Oct-20
Day two of our visit the the Far North ...... a group of cachers from Auckland, signing in as Team 'SEAC' to save logbook space......

Caching reasonably local today as we were based in Cable Bay.....headed up the peninsula in search of new territory and caches none of us had ventured to before....

Thanks to the CO's for bringing us to these stunning locations we would probably not visit.

TFTC.

Out with Team SEAC on a long weekend raid of the upper north island. We spent the 2nd day catching around the Karikari Peninsula. Reading the logs provided enough info to head straight to the GZ. A short search revealed the container. TFTC.
 
21-Oct-20
Wow what a cool spot this is. Will have to come back again and stay! A great hide too. Went round in circles for awhile but got there eventually. The cache is bone dry which was a surprise given the location. Thanks for bringing me here Smile
