Took a little time before I clicked! TFTC!!

This was a cool find. Found it but didn't realize the first time. Tftc

Had an idea of what feature would be here and turned out to be correct. Quickly found the cache.
Thanks for the cache, farmer2some

Found

Quick easy find on a drive with my family, replaced the log paper. TFTC

Easy find though not much easy parking. Log very dry and almost disintegrating. May need some TLC. Great hiding mechanism. TFTC

Kia ora for the cache.

two local workers stopped to check me out. Tftc

Great little cache! Log is soaked and fallen to bits, needs a wee zip lock bag or something. Log will need replaced
TFTC

Tftc. We didn’t sign it because it was really damp. Needs maintenance please. Even a plastic bag and new log

*Found on a nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*
We soon had the container located. SL: **tm/ww NZ**
Thanks for putting this out for us to visit!

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.

#9032. After my muggle woes at Don't Blink I stopped here to do this cache. There were cows in the distance down the race and a farmer was on his motorbike not far away. But he seemed busy with stock and only gave me a passing glance. I soon spied the nicely hidden cache in its camo. The logbook has seen better days but I signed it and replaced everything as found. Thanks for pointing out this Southland feature farmer2some. Now why am I humming The Wombles theme?

Cache 535 good little underpass here but no Cows going through today they may get wet feet when they do as there is a bit of water laying around now from all this rain, cache was a quick find but log is full and starting to come apart other than that cache in good shape T4TC

The name of this cache reminded me of this song ~~"Underground, overground, Wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we, Making good use of the things that we find, Things that the everyday folks leave behind"~~. Quickly found with Natalie 24/7, nothing underground today but a few folks driving around overground. TFTC

Full log to come

Another quick snag and tag here. Cheers.

Friday 6 November. We are off exploring Waituna Lagoon and Seawards Downs today. Its a beautiful sunny day today.

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.

Fantastic catch! Very lucky find, such a clever catch. Tftc!

Just over a year since last found.
I think this is my longest between finds cache now.

Spotted from 20m away. Qui k grab on way to Wyndham.

Cache all good tftc

Quick park and grab

Nothing going through while we were there to

TFTC- quick find this morning while out for a drive to find a couple more caches toward my next solar souvenir

Choice cache.

Very cool hiding place

Very cool geocache!

Quick park and hide found on a sunny afternoon. Tftc

A nice day to go caching. Tftc

These structures seem to be typical around here, haven't seen similar anywhere else (which isn't much of course). Quick find. TFTC.

I like these "in plain sight" caches. A quick find. All in order. TFTC

Down from Northland visiting. Made a trip east today to see the sights and look for some caches. Love this type of cache... A quick find with the good clue. TFTC

The only cache on this stretch of road and the obvious place slid into view from afar. Good parking for the truck and a curious looking cache soon in hand. SL tftc

Easy find on a beautiful sunny day. Watched the cows leaving after milking

Quickly found on great day. Sucks to be working in cow shed today.

Aoraki, who was navigating from the back seat, issued the fateful words ' we need to turn left soon'. As driver I duly turned left at the next intersection . . . . . . after a couple of km's and Aoraki pipes up ' it's behind us, you must have taken the wrong left' so around we turned and back we headed. Found the right left and eventually were at GZ where we made a quick find. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Once we got onto the right road (no thanks to the driver taking my directions too literally) we found GZ and made a quick find. Hidden in plain sight with good camo. Found with debsnz

Heading back to Dunedin after a weekend in Bluff. Decided to take a detour and mark off a few more off the main highway. Nice quick find by K. TFTC

Quick stop and grab TFTC

Tftc well camoed

HOTA....

Took we while but got there in the end. Had no pen to write in it. Good cache

Yeah it does blend in. Got wet. Tftc

It did blend in. I had spied the larger con's at first but found they were humming when I got out of the car. Best leave those alone. TFTC

Found this one when the hail stopped. An interesting cache. Tftc

Angela found it very quickly in atrocious weather, the huge hail stones stopped and we leapt out of the car and back in to sign it. A bit damp, dried log and replaced bag.

cool easy cache tftc

Great cache thanx!!!

Quick find while the cows went under the bridge going to the milk shed. Cache a bit damp. TFTC

Sadly, our last day in Southland, but what a day it was. Bright sunny clear skies and sun, sun and more sun.
Making a few finds in and around before we have to hit the big tin budgie for the screaming ride back to the capital.
Taking the back roads.
This was a straightforward find, cache in order, and log signed; then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

This was a welcome chance to get off the bikes for a short while. PC Sniff and I caught the train to Invercargill with the intention of biking to Balclutha, and even with the tail wind, I was wondering if we'd bitten off more than we could chew. A stop to find a cache, quick look to see how far to the next, and suddenly all tiredness is forgotten. How I love this game! Thanks for placing this cache (and others) to make it possible for people like me to have so much fun.

Good spot to get off the bike, caches are a great excuse to take a break from the saddle. Fantastic day for biking to wyndham with that breeze at our backs. Found with jrb5050. Thanks for placing this cache here

Traveling to Invercargill. Easy find. #1060

Not many cows around today. TFTC

TFTC

Good hide. Yes a few of these around. TFTC

Quick find on the way home

Clever hide tftc

Quick find - love the container. tftc

Quick easy find as dad retreived while i supervised. Took longer for dad to log my find than it did to find. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC. Nice hide.

This cache is well exposed but still well hidden. No commuters today, but they have left their visiting cards behind. Nice one farmer2some.

No trolls at home today.

Found

Cool tftc??

Great cache!

Quick drive by.

A clever wee hide - these stock underpasses seem to be popping up everywhere.

Quite a cool wind this afternoon, easy find by the team. Cheers Gav

My first find today in the middle of a couple of DNF's...nice view out to farmland and a quick find. tftc

Blended in well - out in the middle of nowhere!

Getting a wee bit damp

First one for the day. A friendly local stopped to see if we were alright. I guess it was a bit odd to be paying so much attention to a cattle underpass. An easy find

Good things these. Save a lot of hassles.

lol, love this one blended in well! (8)

Blends in very well! Took a while

Should have been a quick did but was not. But got there

TFTC looked around for a while and them payed better attention to the hint(s)

Found by Mr C on the way to Dunedin. Not a very quick stop and grab . Had to use the hint [8]. TFTC.

Not the first thing I spotted, but quick enough all the same. Thanks.

As we were out and about today thought we would check on this cache as last log was a DNF. Cache is still there and in good order

I didn't find it and I had good look

A quick easy find at an increasingly seen feature on rural roads. TFTC

@1358 A nice hide. The container blends in very well.
Thanks farmer2some.

As a country girl, knew what this was all about. Did have one lady pull over and ask if I needed assistance! Very helpful locals in Southland. TFTC

A fourth night find with ingidayna. TFTC

Easy roadside find.

Yes, there are a lot of these structures all throughout Southland! Easy find.

Love these clever hides, they fool us every time! TFTC

Quick find on a short sunday afternoon caching trip.

Well worded hint as it certainly does, quite amazing to see these structures in what used to be sheep country.
Thanks
erninz

Quick grab, glad wee did not have to go under.
