Old Butts ( South Canterbury ) Otaio, South Island, New Zealand
By Bitsprayer on 15-Dec-11. Waypoint GC3978Y

Found it after a second look, first look I got a shock off the NOT suppose to hot wires. Must have been because it was raining .

Quick find whilst on a small tiki tour. Tftc

Quick find this morning with Hal2929 as we find some caches around the area.
Thanks Bitsprayer for placing and taking us to some new roads

On a roadie with Kiscardi getting some caches. A quick find. All good with the cache. Thanks

Took longer than it should have to find. Enjoying the caches

I met lots of dairy cows on the road. I planned a ski trip with hubby and friends. Then I had a couple of biopsies dine on my arm. So no skiing for me so I decided to cache instead. Thank you Bitsprayer for this cache.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021.

Out and about exploring the South Canterbury Roads making my way towards Mt Nimrod one cache at a time. It always feels good to sign off one of these older caches. TFTC # 17,245

Out for the day in the back blocks of Waimate for a days caching, glad the floodwaters have receeded. Great day out and some more to come back to another day. Apologies for the generic logging. TFTC!

Road trip back to Dunedin (and places further south ) after being halted by the Hinds-Ashburton flooding. I decided to explore this area, having cached here many years ago.
Thanks for this cache, Bitsprayer.

Obvious when I spotted it

Found on a drive around the back roads. TFTC

It was cool to see where the old bridge went and how the old was payed out

#18251. We soon spotted what the hint referred to, and Troodles moved in for the find. TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day one of a 4 day trip down south to Oamaru, a consolation holiday for us, as in a COVID-19 free world, we would currently be in Seattle .
Didn't take long to locate the cache. TFTC.

Thanks for the find. Logbook is damp but still managed to sign it

Full log to come

Out for a backline drive and grab thanks for hiding

Found with kakariki. TFTC

I had parked my snail shell up in Waimate and was at a bit of a loose end so decided to locate and sign a few caches hereabouts.

The 45 has gone and departed.

Cheers for the cache.

Pheww.. it took some time to find this one, as we couldn't spot 45 that easily. While we were signed the log, the container was blown away by the wind and it fell into the ditch side. I had to get down and take the container back that the log bag fell this time. Glad that we manged to put everything back in place. This is how we managed to make a simple park and grab into an adventurous one, tftc.

Another quick find as we headed towards Oamaru and further south along the backroads. TFTC!!!

Quick park and grab while taking the 87 year old mother for a drive. Tftc

A quick find of this not-often-found cache. Found with AorakiSheep.

We thought we knew what the hint meant but there was no 45 sign at GZ so we had a rethink and quickly spied the hide. Found with debsnz

Cheers for the drive by.

Quick find on a chilly morning tftc

Cold morning with a bit of frost on the ground. Quick find. Tftc

Found

Were the 'old butts' the remains of an old rifle range or maybe they were part of an old bridge. I guessed right and found a TB as well.

Quick find first of the day on the back roads in the pareora area. Dropped of Tb

My gpsr initially indicated the wrong side of the road but then it settled down and pointed out the Butts to me. T4TC

Easy find

Quick find, TFTC

We were considering a difficult clamber underneath, until we noticed the terrain rating, after which it was a quick easy find. TFTC

TFTC! Found with purdiepurdie on a caching expedition.

TFTC. I was wondering what on earth I was going to see here - it all made sense when I arrived at GZ.
Found while flobberworm! and purdiepurdie are down south on a caching break.

And nice old butts in the ground they were too Cheers Gav

An easy find - TFTC

A quick find, thanks for the placement.

Peaceful spot. Running water at last!

The old bridge would have been under a lot of floods.

Not where we expected but read the clue and cache soon in hand. Left Travel Bug.

Good quick cache find while heading north towards Timaru. SL TFTC

Not sure what butts you were on at the time, but none visible today!
Thank you for placing this cache.

But?

Took longer than it should have, but got the smiley in the end. Thanks

Ah, now I see..... we have a couple of old butts...... thanks!

Parked short and wandered across the bridge.

Quick find and spotted the old bridge TFTC.

Nice spot, more traffic than I expected.
