Fire! Fire! (Nelson) Nelson, South Island, New Zealand

This has been muggled once too often to be practical.

Cache has got messed up again. Will sort it soon.

Find #407 for the BAMMJams. This one took a bit more looking than we expected. Then we found the lid where we imagine GZ should be - and the container a bit further along, and empty. This one's definitely been muggled sometime since the last log. Hunted around for the log paper, but no sign of it. So we've put a replacement log in (sorry - just an A5 scrappy piece of paper, didn't have our whole replacement kit on us today, foolishly!), and have replaced the container where we *think* it should go. Will send a note to CO to let them know where we've put it, in case it's not quite right.

TFTC

Can't send CO a message from in your profile?? Send me a message if you want to confirm where we left the cache!!

Sat there just for the look...
Easy find.

Nice easy find for the kids

Quick stop and grab thanks. Busy place

On a big mission up to Nelson over Show Weekend with Purdiepurdie, Karma Reprint and Team_Gaters we signed our cache finds as PKTT the 'power packet' but we called ourselves the 'G4'. We headed off on Friday morning at 4.30am. We had a mission that we wanted to perform in Nelson and this was the day to attempt it. After a good nights sleep we headed out for the day for more laughs, caches and poke our noses here and there, driving and memory making. It was a great day we didn't stop until about 11.30pm back to base for a cuppa and relax and getting ready to do it all again tomorrow!
Quick find, onto the next...

Thanks for the cache.

Number 4 for the day

Quick find at GZ and all in order. TFTC

Just introducedd 4 clients to grieving and they really enjoyed it! One of them found this cache

Quick find

The log book and lid were missing. I found the lid but I think a new logbook will be needed.

#520 still there and nice and dry. TFTC

Nice quick cache! Thanks.

Tftc bit chilly this morning but the always shines when cache in hand

Thanks for the cache

We saw this one was back in action and so made it a first port of call on our trip out today. We had a good idea where we needed to be looking and were spot on.

Thanks for getting this cache back in service.

#160

Another cache in place

Found it! TFTC

TFTC #firstcache

Logging with permission from CO as it had gone AWOL. thanks

Gone awol again. Will replace shortly.

Just yet another D. on my worst ever GC day..18%success!

Stopped off for a look on the way home. Miss MSEBN and I looked all along the GZ and unfortunately found nothing. Later, when looking at previous logs it appears this cache has gone missing on a few occasions. We wonder if this has happened again?

From Ohio, USA. Grabbed while waiting for a pizza.


Thanks jackieandgrant for fun.
This is my 5119th find.
Found on 04/12/2014 [dddd, mmmm dd yyyy] @ 6:32:00 PM

Our travel from Christchurch to Nelson has been long, but we saw beautiful things. Now, we have done some busking in the street, and obviously some geocaching. This one is interesting becuase of the draws on the wall, and after a bit of searching, we found it. Now, it is time for us to leave Nelson in order to go to Picton.
Thanks for the cache.

Notre voyage de Christchurch a Nelson aura ete long, mais nous aurons des belles choses sur le chemin. Maintenant, nous sommes a nelson, et nous avons fait du busking dans la rue. Et bien entendu, du geocaching. Celle la est interessante avec ses dessins sur le mur. Apres un peu de recherches, nous trouvons la boite. Il est maintenant temps de quitter nelson pour aller a Picton.

Merci pour la cache.

Kind of lame

Only sun was burning.

Not too many muggles today - easy find. TFTC!

We are staying a few days in Nelson, and naturally, logging some caches is a priority. Tftc!

New container in.

I'm not sure when I logged this, I'll go back and check the cache when I'm around the area next. But grabbed it at the start of 2013. I'm so sorry guys! But tftc

Found it on a lovely sunny evening. Needs a new container, it has a larger split in it.

Found it abit crushed

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

After a night in Nelson we spent a very wet morning picking up a few caches around town before setting off for Kaikoura. A quick find here, while the streets were fairly quiet. TFTC!

Happy Halloween! TFTC

On the way to Nelson with hopes of another dot-day, beating PB, busting past 1400
Easy find after another finder today I think
Left it covered

Last find for the day on what's been a big and successful day caching in the city. TFTC, #5323

Thanks for the cache! It was nice to log a few caches while travelling through Nelson.

Quick sneaky find. TFTC

Catscatscats22 and I decided to spend an extra day in Nelson & cycle around for a geocache grabbing tour of the area. Lucked out & had a beautiful day! TFTC!

Found with Heroica1010 on a cycle tour of Nelson. TFTC!

Another cache container in place. We'll see how this one fares.

In town for a wee holiday to catch up with Mr G's brother who's visiting from Oz. In the area so made a quick find and sign. Container was in pieces so put back together as best as I could. Nice one. Cheers.

Will put in a new cache shortly

Did find it but unfortunately container was found in the gutter near where it was sposed to be and small bits of soggy paper were scattered on the footpath. We did find the lid in the correct spot however. We put all the bits back but I think it will need replacing.

See maintenance entry.

TFTC. This cache was located with persistence. A nearby muggle was settled in for a mega texting session, so I waitied patiently in the cache mobile for him to move on. Cache was then located within 2 m of his rest spot.
Great mural.
Thanks to jackieandgrant for placing the cache.

Second attempt and a smiley this time with few muggles, TFTC.

No luck today will hav athere go 2mrw

Went to try a couple today did not find it this time

Oh would you look at that...spotted that this one was back up and running...knew it wasn't there....so back to the first place we looked..ah yeah. Good to get the DNF out of the way before flying back to the UK on sunday.
TFTC.

Went straight to it this time - good to know we had looked in the right place last time. Liked the hint re the mural! TFTC

Thanks

New cache container in place

[green]Day 3 of our 5 day Easter caching roadtrip. We had to bypass a few to make checkin in time so we went out afterwards to find some more caches before dark.[/green]
Yay! First in new logbook. It was a very fast sit and sign cache in the first place we looked. I guess you have to be lucky with no muggles. Thanks for the cache

Disabled for a day or so until I can check it

We're pretty sure we searched the right place after taking on board the various suggestions, but with no luck. We wonder, too, if the cache is still there. [?]

Dropped car off at Smith & Smith for a stone chip repair, did the Harvey who? on the way down to have another look for this one, but still a big DNF!! Is it still there?

No luck with this one.

Our last one for the day but ended up with a big DNF. Read a few logs before hand and spotted where the fireman is pointing his hose!! and widened the search because of the hint but to no avail...even looked at the bits that carry water!! Will have another look soon.

Cool as

A quick find during an afternoon's caching in Nelson. Signed log, TFTC

A quick find.

Nice quick find, very quiet

Found during our stay in Nelson with members of the Essendon Bushwalking Club from Australia.
A wonderful town in a wonderful country.

Today I Went for the 100 caches in 1 day. With a very early morning and just breaking even at lunch time with 50, it looked like it was going to be 12am to 12pm. But after a move out of the city they started to speed up, and i managed to grab the last at 20:30 with 106!! Thanks everyone for the caches that they have placed, from the ones that have been planed for months to the park and grabs

I had last day off before apple sezone, was beautiful day so what to do? Yeah spend time out with my GPS. So went to Nelson for geocashing TFTC

Tftc.

Found it on a lovely still summers eve, nice straightforward one TFTC

Tftc

Found it. St quiet. A quick sit down to find it.

As it was a nice day I thought I would have a walk and look for a cache or two. It turned out that I only managed to get one, but I was happy with that. Even on a Sunday there are still cars coming through, but no pedestrian muggles. I still had to time things carefully. Thanks for the cache.

Found it. Road was fairly quiet tonight. So easy to find and then rehide.

Heading to Motel now after a good days caching

TFTC

Off to catch an 8am ferry, so decided it was a good chance to pick-up some caches in busy parts of Nelson. This was one I have tried to pick-up before, but it is a busy street during the day. TFTC

Nice quick find TFTC

As the munchkins sang, "Follow the Grey Rubber Hose!" Or something like that. Despite heavy rain in Nelson, this cache is dry as a bone. TFTC!

Thanks to Kehu for alerting me to the fact that the large object behind which the cache is hidden has been tipped over and the cache exposed. He has kindly relocated the cache to a similar position but with slightly different coordinates.

Quick find using the sit and lean technique and the car as cover. TFTC (904)

A required stop at Repco got us to the area, no point getting that close without finding the thing so I did. Cheers.

No trouble finding this one this afternoon. Nice job on the container. SL TFTC
