Got to GZ and thete had been some recent landscaping done around here and GZ was a nice flat featureless area with nothing to hide a cache. I think it is time to archive this one.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Even though I looked wide(maybe not wide enough) no sign of cache or even a decent bidet rock
Very hard to find this one, hint doesn't help, unfortunately. Must be super sneaky. I was searching here for almost 20 minutes!
No one around here which is a surprise considering what a nice day it is. A quick find, sign and return. Thanks SoBad.
Back to caching finally, SJT_NZ & I started with some local spots just to get back in the groove, this a quick find, few people out and about enjoying the day.
Ha ha. Nicely done - have a FP. Nice to be out of lockdown and out caching again. A quick find on a beautiful Saturday. All in good order. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks SoBad for a nicely themed cache.
Had a week in Christchurch visiting family, now visiting family and friends in Motueka area. Thanks SoBad for the cache.
I know it was found yesterday but the hint kinda doesn’t help. Cause there are a lot of small rocks lol
Found with orth71.

would love to have had the time to play a round but wasn't to be.

Area checked today and Mrs Sobad could only find the cache with a log in it. Hint added to ensure others know that they have found the intended cache. If someone finds one without a log could they remove it please.
Sounds like there are 2 caches here as we checked recently and the log was blank. Will check again when in the area to see if there is an extra cache.
We walked to here with a spare inner container and log. Walked back with them as well as the cache was found with the log nice and dry and the lid on the container.
Found as a part of a previous group TanjackMüley, now WanderingSparrow. Now I'm continuing on my own. TFTC
Quickly found. You wanted a warning for 5 or fewer but the log looks like it’s been signed over several times and the caches life is missing so the logs just get washed off so needs maintaining. Signed however was possible. Thanks for the cache!
Just walked down the spit. Now on the return journey. Snagged and tagged this on my way past. Cheers
Its Labour Weekend so Zara, Toby and I are off to explore Tasman for a few days. Left Blenheim early this morning, parking Zara up in Motueka for the next couple of days, while Toby and I go exploring.

Checked today and the new log we put in recently was there and blank so lots of space.
Took a few mi utes to settle here but then found the out of bounds object. Log is full. Thanks for bringing us 3
There was only one place for the cache to be and after digging down we found it TFTC
No go, wear and tear must have destroyed cache or something.. hunted everywhere for ages. Please check and replace owner.
Had a good look at GZ for this cache for about 20 mins. But nothing... Could've been the fact that GPS was all over the place or maybe gone... Ah well, gotta have some DNFs.
Nice cache love the whole track, logbook is super full so please bring replacement next time
Found ok. Good disguise. Log a bit hard to sign. Maybe it could be a little bigger. Thanks again for the great Cache.
After playing a round of golf at Motueka I needed to find a couple of caches to turn a one'sy day into a four'sy day. This helped and very appropriate cache hide in the circumstances. Thanks SoBad.
Took a bit of searching but managed to find it. Found a blank spot on the log to sign it. Thanks for the cache
After a nice few hours in Kaiteriteri we were heading back for home and agreed to a couple more to search for. Parked back the ways and headed along this lovely track. Great views on this mild Winters day. Soon had the cache in hand and extracted the log using natures offering. Could not add a mark to the log so just replaced as found. T F T C SoBad.
The weekend is here and after what seemed like the longest 4-day week ever known (after Queens birthday on Monday) it was time to come up with a plan for the day. Initially this weekend I had no real plan or caching targets and thought that it would be slim pickings, esp with the upcoming souvenir-offerings requiring some abstinence and careful rationing.
Then yesterday evening I decided that we would head over to Motueka for a few, and so that was the plan.
It's been all quiet on the new-cache front for a while but I knew that there would be some releases as I had a few of my own in the queue. I was checking Project-gc for unfound caches to see if there were to be any options to continue my streak and was surprised at 2130 last night to spot my new listings were already on the map, as well as a couple over the hill, and this one here in Marlborough. Not a single email had been received and despite much checking that was the case as I headed up to bed for the night.
Upon awakening this morning I saw that my inbox did overflow and aside from my couple of new caches a potential FTF was now actually on the website officially. On our way over the hill we were at G Z at around 0800 after dropping off Livi for work we parked up and stormed in for a FTF and got that monkey off my caching back.
We headed to the Nelson market and grabbed some great fresh veggies for taking back over the hill for the next few days and also found time to swing into Richmond for a tiny amount of retail therapy, much to mrs capperz delight, and my 'delight'.
Then it was just a series of trips to beaches, walkways and treats from the Tasman area and a few caches were found and enjoyed.

Took a little while to retrieve as it was very well covered. The lid of the cache seems to have come off the the log book was covered in dirt. Cleaned it out as best we could and returned to where found. tftc
Thanks So Bad. On my 2nd visit found it
What an awesome cache and well hidden. Not where I thought it would be.

Cool little cache, easy to find. My parents live in the house by it and asked me why people are always rummaging around in the trees! TFTC.
The container was pretty much what I was expecting. It just wasn't quite where I was expecting. Think I would have been taking a drop myself. TFTC
A quick evening numbers run along a nice walking track we explored for the first time a month or so back (on a non-caching trip then).
I remember thinking at the time where caches could be hidden and I was close with this one.
No strained golf puns in this log as I used them all up in the similarly themed puzzle cache not too far away.
Thanks

!!!Replacement cache put in today after a report that the original was in poor condition
We had attempted the multi a bit further along the track, but the final spot held a couple of muggles who didn't look as if they were in any hurry to move on. So we came up to find this one. Hunted high and low, even checked out the sprinkler system but not a lot of luck. Went and had a seat while some muggles went past and rechecked the previous logs. Aha - a clue so went back for another look. Eventually found and signed off.
Very cute hide here.....sort of expecting something along these lines !
Thankyou SoBad !
We enjoyed meeting Mrs SB at our Event !

Our adventure started with a local event arranged by Rustynz and a group of us are collecting as many caches in the nelson area as possible starting with this one and ending who knows where and by whom
our group is the Gorbynator, Suppernanny and the Rustynz.

Hoofing along with Rebel98, rustynz and supernanny, we have many caches to do along our way. I found this plastic thingy, but my fat fingers couldn't get it out, so I asked rusty to do the honours, since she has slender fingers, that did the job and we had a cache to sign! Cool.
Sometimes it pays to be small 
Then we needed a tool to extract the log, which we were able to squeeze our names on. Just beautiful, sun is shining, wind is hiding, not a cloud in the sky! oh and caches to find. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks for the hide.walked up the walkway here to find no one teeing off on the 11th so it was totally muggle free. hiding spot was obvious but the birdie spot would probably be higher up in the treetops. The cache suited the surroundings well, although the logbook for this geocache was hard to get out. find #102
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.
