This cache had to be found on so many levels.
1) Many of MacPacMum's childhood holidays were spent in Picton, so had to find a cache here.
2) This was the closest cache to her Grandmother's holiday home that she used to stay in
3) It was got there by traveling on Milton & Lincoln Streets - both street names in the area where she grew up in Christchurch.
MacPacDad made the find. Thanks for bringing me back down memory lane.

#5468. Just time for a couple of drive bys heading towards the ferry. Great hide. TFTC.
Always a worry when caches are near to private property, so we went straight to the hint. Quick find after that.

After spotting the favourite points when logging a DNF Mrs SoBad knew she had been fooled by the obvious. Back today with her caching brain turned on - and the cache is now a smiley.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Tricky! Well done. Not what we initially expected. Gets a favourite from us. TFTC
Found a spot that looked promising but no cache in it. Even knowing it was placed with permission Mrs SoBad felt a bit conspicous so left. Seeing the favourite points now, it may be there but not in the obvious spot where she looked.
Waited till the yacht was moved and the owner had disappeared before making the grab.

Out for a morning walk and found this cache. Thanks strolling along for your cache.
Staying in Momorangi Bay for the week and our first day there we werent allowed in the water 
Good thing we had planned to do some caching anyway. Accompanied by [red] Ariestiger [/red], [blue] Ben1998 [/blue] & his Mum. Kid Muggles: Luca & Jade and now new cachers ([green]Grant + Wendy007[/green]) Takes alot longer when you have more people 
This was our 13th stop of a long day. I had a pretty good guess of what to expect before we arrived at the site and I was right. The owner did pop her head out at a sudden mass around the front of her property but gave a friendly smile as soon as she saw the GPS. Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache This one made me smile - searched in what I thought was the most obvious spot and was about to go back to the car and as I stood up BINGO! TFTC
Found after visiting friends in this lovely town. Gorgeous day- lovely views. Sweet hide. TFTC

A nice bit of architecture, not sure it would receive a code of compliance with a roofing penetration like that. Maybe they have different rules in these here parts. TFTC

Well I couldn't leave Picton without finding this one. It must be famous because the bloke at the car rental place told me all about it! He also mentioned his mum was a keen cacher, so I might see you at Dunedin next week.
A quick easy find of a slightly differently hidden cache. We think we were nearly muggled, because as we drove away, someone drove up the hill and into the adjacent property. TFTC
TFTC. It took me a couple of minutes to discover this well placed cache. Its holder is beautifully made. Thanks to the owners for allowing a cache to be there.
1st look but no find. Then back again & with the kind words of the man at house soon had it in hand. TFTC
What a neat hiding place! Wish I had a job like that. Checked the hint and spotted the cache. No problems here. TFTC, Biggles.
A quick look after visiting the dentist (my dad) and loosing yet another wisdom tooth. At least it was dry for the moment. TFTC
A quick drive-by cache early in the morning after disembarking our ferry.

Last cache of the day before heading to the ferry. Nice hide, you don't see too many in a place like this. Perfect camouflage match too! Signed log, TFTC!
Signed log, TFTC!Nifty little hide this, well done. It must be home to a cacher!
Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'how ever long it takes' NZ tour.
Thanks for setting this up.

Nice evening walk around Picton, last for the night and just starting to rain.-Bitsprayer
We certainly 'saw more' 
from this vantage. Haven't explored the back streets of Picton for over 50 years.

. Apologies for being a little late . TFTC .Down visiting the Grandson and family for Easter, turned the gps on ... hehe 40m from our location i.e. next door. So just had to trot out the door to log this one. Didn't realise this was here and if the family get annoyed with us I guess we could always get a room here.... Nice camo. SL. TFTC.
Staying in Picton with family just around the corner. Took 2 year old granddaughter in her buggy, but as she was asleep she missed out on the occasion. A fun cache, thanks.
Last cache for the day. Found it easily even though it was dark now. Good to know that you had the okey from the muggles nearby. Greetings from Singapore and TFTC!
