The whole area here has altered with the massive amount of gravel extraction and the original hiding area along with the cache have disappeared.

Could the owner pleas check up on this cache and verify it is still there?

I think too many earth works

Couldn't find. Recent earth works?

Couldn't find. Recent earth works?

After a thorough search, we could not find anything here. I think the cache might be gone. Due to all of the other DNFs, the owner should check up on the cache and verify it is still there.

No luck here today. With all the work going on think it is most likely gone

22022 Traveling through New Zealand to see nice people and places. Also to find some geocaches.

Today we went from Mount Cook to Dunedin. First, because it was sunny now, we visted the surrounding of mount Cook and the Tasman glacier. Then we drove alone and there were many caches along the road like the mighty oaks taril and many others, but a lot of them were on spots where I did not like to park a car. It were also to many to do them all, so we randomly stopped where it was safe and went for a search.

In Dunedin there are several Y2000 caches, and these we like specialy to visit. The Jasmer challenge is still not full..

Sadly no find. We had a pretty good look, but all we found was a suss pile of stones on a ledge - if this was hiding the cache, then it's gone.

Spent the day Geocaching with WGHS activities day, TFTC

Found on way to geo event in omarau, on a geo road trip with RowenaD and flipnz.

Nice wee scramble with coh ane roweenad

Another scramble under

Easy to find.

Took a little while to find this one. TFTC

Lovely stop on a sunny day. TFTC.

Mrs p headed under for a find. Glad it's dry. could imagine it's harder to get after rain. On our final days of an 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc erninz. Find # 3990

Heading home the long way after a night in twizel so I can pick up a few caches on the way. Another trolls house to explore all in good order .

TFTC

Knew where to look and spotted almost immediately. Found with debsnz

Being under when traffic goes over can be a bit disconcerting so thankfully a quick find. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

Stopped here on a day drive to explore the region and find a few caches. Another quick find. Signed log, TFTC

I approached this from the Alps2Ocean flood trail, so was of course on the opposite side of the bridge to where the GPS told me I needed to. Thankfully there was no water in the stream and it didn’t take long to find it. Only one “ouch” as I raised my head too soon during my travel under the girders! Thanks for placing the cache.

Noisy when the trucks go past, fun find.

A straightforward find while riding the Alps to Ocean cycle trail.
Thank you erninz for this cache.

Challispoint had a clue where to go while I was trying to get knocked out trying to get there... haha!! TFTC

Awesome time caching in the area during the long weekend with Eve07. TFTC

No joy here.

So easy to forget what there once was.

Headed down south with C&D and 11HPG11 for the CHCH Mega as part of the HOAC team, and decided that a Mega road trip/Mega Mission was the right thing to do. After a great day caching from Dunedin to Omarama we manged to get a few hours sleep before the big day 2 started.

Day 2 was the start of a ambitious plan to try and find as many caches as possible in one day! To maximise our chances of a big number we decided a 24 hour caching day was the only way to go. What an epic day, and some great moments too. The rough idea was to cache from Omarama to Oamaru, and then head north towards Christchurch. A huge thanks to everyone for the cache placments, and I apologise for the copy and past logs.

Find #61 for the day.

This was the start of a MEGA caching weekend in the company of good caching friends. In the company of both HKCB & 11HPG11 this was going to be another memorable caching road trip for many reasons.

This is the mission that we had set ourselves up for several months back. It was HKCB's idea, I was just dumb enough to think it was a challenge and I'd be up for it, 11HPG11 was silly enough to come along for the ride once we confirmed a spare seat (Nova Lightening pulled out for family reasons).

We were going to try to beat the NZ one day record in New Zealand (it would have been easier with 4 people), so after 2.5hrs sleep after a good feed at Omarama we were ready to go. This was the sixtyith on what was to be an epic day with what amounted to 401 caches collected for the day and about 38 DNF's. We managed this with 10minutes to spare but by this time we were done for and still had to drive back to Kaiapoi. All in all an epic days caching with good friends and something I don't think any of us will repeat in a hurry.

All in all it was going to be a big day with a number of challenges, great sceanery, and of course great company. Fantastic driving along and up here as the landscape was so different from what we are used to back in the Waikato. One good thing about backroads being that we could continue our neferious activites without being disturbed by muggles.

Nice quick find here without any issues .
thanks for the placement , thanks for the cache

What a Mega Mission for a group of Hamilton Over Achievers! A great trip, a long time in the planning. I teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to grab a couple of caches while in Christchurch and surrounding areas for the 2015 Mega Event. We flew out from Auckland on Friday night and traveled to Dunedin in the dark of the night. Stopped for a few hours sleep before setting off to grab caches in the Otago area on Saturday before attempting a few more on Sunday and then arriving at the Mega on the Monday. An amazing, yet crazy road trip

When C&D mentioned a day with over 400 caches I should have turned and ran... instead I said yes, and here we are. 401 caches in 23 hours and 50 minutes. All done on about 2.5hr of sleep. It was hard work with only 3 of us and there were times that were hard and tiring but I still had a blast! An amazing experience that one has to be slightly crazy to even consider

No problems on this one, thanks for the placement. Easy to search here in the dark!

Another great find while slowly heading to the Christchurch Mega.
Thanks for adding to the fun of my trip.

Coords were pointing at the tree. Eventually resorted to the clue, whence a quick find. TFTC

Found on our 25 day New Zealand South Island holiday.

Apologies for the late log but with little or no internet as we travelled and only super slow WiFi in van parks I decided to log all finds on my return home.

Stayed in Oamaru for the night and left for Twizel today

TFTC

Nice quick find

Surprised it doesn't get washed away! TFTC

Now thats a change!

Day 2 of our 5 Day end of year geocaching trip. We came through in Easter after the storms and all the rain, the river was too high to even attempt this. Today was a nice quick PnG with the river no where in sight - it was absolutely bone dry.

While looking for the cache, Junior Dakotacat disturbed a nesting Welcome Swallow. The bird took off in one direction while the Dakotacat went the other way!

The junior dakotacat found this cache quickly but she wasn't too impressed with the bird that flew into her hair as she approached the cache!

Good little hiding spot.

TFTC

Quick find.

We enjoyed the day caching today in this area

Headed out for a weekend of crazy caching with sharkiefan - it was all about numbers this weekend!
For me personally, I needed the numbers so that I could get enough caches to bring my average a day back up to 4 caches at least for this year, as on a streak it's not really possible to find heaps of caches in your home hood!

This was cache number 28 out of the 116 we found over the two days. And a huge thank you to all the cachers who put out all these caches! Loved the fun time we had - though weekend could have ended better!
Sorry for not writing cooler logs, but heading overseas in a couple days, and I don't exactly want to be behind in my logging then!! Haha.

Consec caching day # 405

It's amazing how caches multiply when you leave a valley untouched for a while!

A bit of dodgy parking but managed to get far enough off the road to feel safe enough. A quick find once I got to the right level. Thanks.

A quick easy find, although we had to step carefully to stay clean and dry. TFTC

A nice hide, and a good spot to visit, pleased to be making another visit to this part of the country.

Many thanks for the placement.

A quick, easy find, thanks.
