time to go

I passed here on the way to a nearby challenge cache. The GZ hint object is flat on the ground, and has been replaced by an entirely new one. There's no sign of the cache. It's either gone, or has got tangled in the old fence wire and can't be accessed. The CO hasn't responded to a maintenance request from early April, so it's time to put this to bed.
 
10-Apr-16
The cheque may well still be in the mail but the 'mail' is lying horizontally, wrapped in chicken wire. There's an impressive excavator parked nearby and signs of earthworks in progress, so this cache may need to be relocated or archived.
 
07-Apr-16
Might be worth a check, I noticed the GZ object lying on the ground this morning, and some heavy machinery parked next to it.
 
05-Apr-16
My only chance to find this cache and unfortunately there was a worker on the spot all day.
 
02-Apr-16
On my way southwards I had a short break here for to look at this cache. My GPS handheld also want to send me somewhere else, but this wasn't a problem. And I really liked the additional informations in the listing because I'm always interested in history of any place.

Thanks a lot for the cache.

Papa Bear couldn't see this one for looking, Mama and little bear who were waiting in the car guessed the right spot and wondered how long it would take Papa Bear to find it, he did eventually. Tftc

On way back to Wangaz, from wellington and took a detour down this way.

The holiday season at last! Off to Auckland to see my folks. Caching all the way.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Nice cache
 
04-Dec-15
I decided to go out on a big day of crazy caching and see how many I can find singlehandedly! I packed some food, plenty of water, gps, spare pens. I had a quick look in the morning and decided on a general direction with plenty of caches and some cool challenges on the way. The weather was great, even too warm at times, with considerable wind. I started after sunrise and went on until sunset, by which time I was rather exhausted - but happy... I kind of ended up somewhere where I was not quite planning to end up, but no problem! I found 124 caches in total - my biggest day going on a lone caching mission. Thank you to all the awesome CO's for placing the caches!!!

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.

Last morning in Wellington do a final chance to grab a few caches before heading to work and flying home. While grabbing the caches is great I can't say that I manage to get in much sightseeing in the dark.
Being so early in the morning the area was quiet so no issues with passing muggles.
Was surprised to see Kiwis69 as the last visitor as had just been talking to them last night

Thanks for the placement

A nice quick park, walk and grab while out on a Xmas-eve cache hunt in miserable weather today. Not too bad while i was in the vicinity of this cache though.

Had a "local" pull over & ask if i'd left a walking pole up the road (as i obviously looked like i was out hiking with boots, shorts and jacket). Thought it was odd until a little later a walker came down the hill toward me. Psossibly had stopped and dissappeared for a call of nature out of sight?!?)

{trying to get my December numbers "up" for a particular cache the CO had put me on to recently}

TFTC!
