This was in our gps and we didn't realise that it had been archived - out 6 year old grandson found it - he was very proud of himself. The container is broken and the log is damp

Cache was missing so archiving.

This is top of the maintenance list but may be a couple of weeks. Not disabling as still findable.

Found with TregearP whilst exploring the area.

Cache was a quick find but top is broken and container was full of water with sodden logbook.

Have a photo of the logbook to evidence find.

Emptied and replaced the cache upside down to prevent from filling again but needs a full replacement - will send a M.R.

TFTC.

SJT_NZ's already reported the broken lid so cache was very wet. Nice part of the local area though despite the rain.

Logging as found have joined two members together only way can do it sorry

Found it but contents is broken and inside is filled with water! Was unable to fix as I didn't have anything on me

Was full of water but new log was dry, heavy rain here last night but might be letting moisture in longer than that.
Great spot TFTC!

And so I approach the the of this little GTT power trail stretch. The GPS map told me roughly where I would need to look and a likely feature was soon spotted. Thought I'd managed to damage the car as I pulled over, but that was just the odd fallen branch clunking the underneath of the car (I hope).

A quick skirt around the GZ and I soon had the cache in my hand - and down my leg - as it was rather water logged. The replacement log sheet and bag the previous finder placed was all good but the trinkets in the container were doing the breast stroke I'm afraid.

I emptied and dried things out as best as I could in the time I had, but the lid of the container is cracked which means it'll be wet after the next rain.

I toyed with the idea of passing through the community, but other caches beckoned.

Thanks

Everything's wet dried things and put in new paper

Thanks to flyinghigh NZ for the on the spot maintenance.

This cache is sadly very wet and in need of maintenance. Found without difficulty. Thanks for placing it; the thought is great, but maybe needs a big rock or something over it to help with waterproofing (rather than “natural camo”. Apologies for late logging.

Quick find while doing a few caches in the area TFTC

Found it. Thank you for the fun easy find for the kids

Found while cycling from Motueka through to Richmond. Fantastic views. TFTC

Found on a drive out Mot way

TFTC. no. 11 today.

A quick find and we're off. The tour continues. Thanks for the fun.

Lovely area easy find

Another easy find today. TFTC

#9462. Interesting road name, and an easy cache fine. TFTC.

Found on a lovely Tasman afternoon, after completing Sidewaze's Bicycle mini trail. I wondered at the cache name and now I know. Last year, we had stopped for a cache near the intersection of this road with Moutere Highway but hadn't spotted the name then.
A quick find for StreetWalker just as I made it to GZ - he's quicker off the blocks than me . TFTC.

Easy find.

Proper replacement put in today.

The cache was in fact missing so we have put a temporary cache in. Just an uncamoed large micro/small small as we did not have anything else suitable with us. Will replace it properly on our next visit.

Luckily the plastic bags have kept the rain out, container had some water in it. Fantastic spot on a nice day.

Pic of wet log have pic of

Staying in the old homeland for the Easter break with mrs tws, had a great time and weather not to bad, real nice on Easter Monday

Nice hide, many thanks

From this spot you can see Kina peninsular where we will spend Christmas Day tomorrow. Merry Christmas and thanks for the cache Sobads.

12864... Great community view, TFTC.

Amazing view even in the rain T4TC:)

Easy find. First time in these parts for me. TFTC!!

Found easily on a lovely spring day. Couldn't sign log as dropped my pen somewhere along the walk between here and the last cache.. Will return soon pen in hand to sign the new log. Thanks.

Very wet and exposed. Placed a temp log in another plastic bag, cache was out in open

Thanks Motgran

Easy find on my little walk. Natural camouflage missed, so I fixed it..

A quick & easy find. TFTC

Nice quick dash and grab
Cheers Gav

A superior view from GZ. Cache was soon spotted and log signed. Picked up TB. TFTC

Despite growing up in this general area I had no idea this road was here. The cache was retrieved by Hazedarus while I sorted a TB to put in it. Great views from up here too. TFTC.

A nice view from here this morning. Cache was sitting out in the open. Replaced in line with the cache description. TFTC

Good view to Kina from near here. Tftc

Quick find but I first got a fright when a pigeon took off from jut above me ( turns out she has a best here haha) and then just as I'm signing the log two young teens come strolling around the corner holding hands, I don't know who got the bigger fright! Bit hard to explain to them what I'm doing so just waved and carried on haha. Left you some treats so enjoy. TFTC

A quick find on a beautiful day. Took the long way in. Thankful for dry weather.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Easy find. Good view.

Easy find. TFTC

I remeber biking along this road when I was 8 or 9. These days its good for 4 wheel driving.
Good views from the cache. Thanks =)

found by Mr 3 lovely box of swaps. mum grabbed trackable and left a trackable.tftc

Not the first time along this road for us. Cache was visible from the car ! Covered a bit now. thanks.

Great views from up here and rather pleased to strike a nice sunny day to enjoy them.

TFTC

A quick find by M as the cache was out in the open replaced with some cover TFTC

Larger cache? I was hoping. I have this TB that I can't get rid of. Nope still not large enough First time up this road. Most interesting. cache out in open. Gave it some foliage.

TFTC

Enjoyed the view and the drive up through the community. TFTC #3264

Found on Easter Sunday with furpurse, Mum & Dad. #15/36 finds for the day, second consectutive day for breaking my daily record.
Cache was a fast and easy find, lots of goodies in the container to swap if you wish. We were in Dads 4WD so we went all the way up the top of the hill about 3kms and had lovely clear views of Motueka. Definately recommended, but only if you had a 4WD. TFTC

Nice sunny jaunt on Easter Friday. Easy find in a very cool spot. Going to have to get one of those umbrellas before winter kicks in. Thanks for the cache.

Nice One!!!!!!!! Took a somewhat round about way to pick up the three local caches, but total success was the reward. Very special reward for a couple of hours of caching. Seven caches, seven find with no puzzles to solve or body parts to distroy---now that's caching. Much fun! Thanks

Another quick find while on holiday in the area. SL TFTC

A quick run with Sidewaze to catch up on a few caches in the vicinity. Love the umbrella! TFTC

We're getting to know this road well, one way and another. Cool hide. TFTC

I found a lot of caches with my Dad - Biggles - and never logged these online. Now I've got my own account, its time to set things straight. Thanks for all the fun, Flying Phoenix.

Busy at work today when Stretch0 started and said we have to go out tonight theres new caches to go get !!! this wouldnt have been so bad but I was up at 5.30 am and he doesnt finish till 9 pm !!! oh well must be done to get this challenge part finished Loved the umbrella it showed up great in the car lights this evening - no view in the dark but have reconoitered this area before and the view is great in daylight - the first FDF of an evening caching run thanks for the cache

Thought this was a really quiet road until I pulled up at GZ and two cars went past at speed, attempting to take my wing mirror off in the process!

After that, the cache was found without incident.

TFTC

FTF!!! Great spot for a cache. Nice country out of the way type road and a scenic view. Thanks.

Got up this morning and gathered ths one was published during the night. Not feeling the best this am I sat down and it wasn't till i got to the mail on this cache found it was it's first day only a couple of housrs old. no logs so got myself organised and headed out. Got to the cache in a familiar area and quickly found but was not the first. But was good to grab a FDF all the same.
Will have to grab the other close one after work in the company of my wife Niteowlnz TFTC and a nice drive to start the day

Rather grey and dull and rain-threatening today so there was nothing for it but to suggest a bit of a drive with Stu with the promise of a DVD or two afterwards. Another FDF cache today. Pretty sure that today's haul just might complete a challenge for me. I was just around the corner finding another new cache the other day. Came past here and thought about it but didn't and now someone else has, oh well. There's also an interesting feature to the left of the cache (looking from the road) that looks like a very miniature stonehenge.... or maybe its just a bench... TFTC, Biggles.

Second for the day and on the same road weather not the best but it was great to get out and do some caches. Great wee spot and very interesting.Tftc
