Kahurangi Camouflage (Canterbury) Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
By cfahey1, ayeffay on 24-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3F7YV

This cache has been temporarily disabled for quite some time. Can you please either fix it and re-enable it for cachers to find or archive it so that the spot becomes available for other cache placers.
 
I note that the cache seems to be in place, so all you really need to do to fix it is re-enable it.
 
If the cache isn't maintained within a month then I will need to assume that it has been abandoned and archive it.

Sorry, I disabled this cache while overseas and since getting back I have forgotten to check on it. I will check it out in the next few days.

I will need to check on this, but am out of the country at the moment. I will replace it in a couple of weeks.

After searching the most likely spots, we read the past logs and this is when we noticed that the cache has not been found in a while. As others have reported, needs to be disabled and checked by CO.

Please check this

3 DNF's in a row....pretty sure it's gone-ski.

May be missing had a good look but no luck nice walk

Had a decent rumage around here but no luck. Spoke to a fellow cacher later on and asked him where it was. based on his description and where I looked it may be gone. May need to be checked.

Nice quick find. Cool pathway. TFTC

Quick easy find as was in the area decided to mop up a few unfounds. Thanks for the hide.

Excellent cache.

Round and round the garden went Nosynel. One step two steps she found the geocache.

Nice, easy find. Located at night, very quiet public area. Cache still well maintained.

A nice find. Originally I came from the wrong side and went up the nicely maintained 'private' grass walkway and realised I needed to try again. TFTC

A lovely little pathway and the water is incredibly clear

A nice quick find on my way to CHCH

Quick find with Spanky Moore 3rd for tonight

Nice easy find but not how I expected. Tftc

Quick find before class.

Think we started walking through someones yard so did a bit of a backtrack and went round the road looking for another entrance. Easily found and cache was quickly grabbed once we reached GZ left TB took coin. TFTC

Found with Sevren.tftc

A quick find on the way to work to keep my souvenir collection going. Found a Lord of the Rings GC in here (which wasn't in the inventory) and dropped in a Paga 2008 GC.
TFTC
Edited to allow the GC I found here to "visit" to keep the miles tracking properly.

Found on an early morning caching run before some meetings at UC. The log is a little late because I am travelling and don't have regular Internet access. An easy find, following the hint. Dropped the "Lord of the Caches - Fire" Geocoin, which wants to travel to NZ, that I brought with me from Adelaide. Rincewind3 was too quick and has already "grabbed" it from me - thanks for logging this so diligently! And TFTC cfahey1!

Nice quick find on the way home, TFTC

Tftc found with jake12354

Ooops! I initially approached on the wrong side of the stream and had to back track a bit to find one of the two possible access points. Quick find after that little diversion. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find. Had to take a seat while some muggles walked past before we could replace the cache.

On the way to St Georges hospital to visit my wife after she has been in surgery but figured she would be still in recovery, so why not score a couple of caches to buy some time. Out with my son, a nice track to the GZ with a boundry of the Ilam river according to my son. He spied the GZ ans a little bit of movieing the camoflauage off it it was Lickity split the cache was in hand, log book signed. TFTC

Found in the semi darkness but it was all good - I love 'base of tree' caches, eliminates so much unnecessary foraging. This one turned my rather crappy day into a happy day. The only blue object I had wouldn't fit in the container, I shall return sometime with something smaller. A small prize removed, not the blue nail polish! TFTC

4. Lots of pretty blue things. Really like this one.

Lovely sunny day for caching. Awesome swag in here. Added a blue button. TFTC

#3001 @0615
Heading south for the day. Noticed this had been enabled so detoured for a quick find. TFTC.

I have replaced the missing cache with a new one. It is still at the same coordinates, and is full of pretty blue swag.

I have a replacement cache all ready to go, so will place this once I get back from my holiday.

Had a quick hunt for this one today but came up empty

Cache has been muggled, or moved significantly from GZ. Searched the area thoroughly, but had no luck finding the cache. Will replace cache shortly.

Unless the co ordinates are wrong, this cache does not appear to be here. Had a thorough search and came back again after finding a cache close by and still nothing.

Since I was in the area I gave this another go. Extended the search area but still couldn't find it.

No sign of a cache at GZ. Based on previous logs, I suspect it has either been muggled or not put in the right place.

Find # 4904 and a total of over 700 in 11 days on the 2nd last day of our NZ Mega trip.
Final day to look around the Christchurch city area. I just loved this country and driving around it looking for caches. Another nice cache and hide and a quick find.
TNLNSL TFTC cfahey1,
Roostaman.

Found way away from go moved back to gz added a koala took blue beads tftc

Decided to go down to Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand and my first ever MEGA. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 9 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 8 of the road trip. Today we were making our way form Timaru to Christchurch for the night and picking up a few caches on our way and it was another beautiful fine day.

After finding GC3F7YF - Mawhero Mission (Canterbury), this was the next cache that I had on my list that I needed to find as we finally arrived into Christchurch for the evening. As we neared GZ, we managed to find a safe parking spot in the parking area not too far from GZ and once we got out of the car it was an easy walk over to GZ. This one took a bit of finding, lucky for us there was 4 of us and we widen our search and finally managed to find the cache 15 metres away from where our GPSr was pointing us too and we soon managed to spot the hint object and we soon managed to see something and once there we had a closer look we soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, signed and then replaced the cache back where we found it. Thanks cfahey1 for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5372).

Now it is time to continue to the next cache on our list as we made our way towards our accommodation in Christchurch for the evening.....

Found as part of an epic NZ Mega Event trip. Day 8 - Timaru to Christchurch in the company of agcnz, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Found after a bit of a hunt and widening our search area. Thanks for the cache cfahey1

Found on the great post-Mega roadtrip with agcnz, fozzmiester and yeetrees. A great trip from Otago to Wellington, taking in many backroads and some fantastic scenery along to way to over 400 caches. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches we found on the way.

This one nearly got the better of us, but it was eventually found 15m from where the coords seemed to be pointing.
Thanks for the cache, cfahey1.

Came here in the late afternoon after having arrived in Christchurch with fozzmiester, -gonefishing- and Yeetrees. Found after a short search, it wasn't where we were expecting it to be. Signed log, TFTC!

Last in a rapid run through this part of town before doing a pickup in Riccarton. Took a while to find. Struck it lucky as found the cache in the open near the creek under some bushes. Looks like it had been moved. Placed it in a position at the GZ as described in the hint.

First ever cache find, lovely spot!

We really got the blues with this being our third DNF today.

Easy find while having a caching trip around the South Island. TFTC

Nice easy cache to kick start the day!

Nice little walk-way. TFTC.

Quick find TFTC

Found on a lovely Sunday afternoon, out with the Geoboys, who loved racing around in the bush reserve playing tag.

We walked a little way on a lovely grassy walkway on the otherside,realised our mistake,and crossed over and found the Cache.Nice of you to have a seat handy,for writing the Log Book..Left a Blue coloured TB.TFTH

Feeling a bit blue on this cool crisp winter's afternoon. Nice location for an easy find. TN:LN. #38 for us.

Was waiting for a meeting that never eventuated, so decided to do a handful of caches instead Cheers Gav [11936]

Easy find

New log added.

Cache was visible from track so covered with leaf litter.

Found after a quick visit to the nearby supermarket.

This log book is also full so you might be able to kill two birds with one stone!

Another quick find.TFTC.

Found after the pink one just down stream. Took Cow tipping GC. Left something blue as required. TFTC.

I love geocaching for helping me learn about NZ - now I know what Kahurangi means. Also, I found a little gem of a pathway in an area I thought I was very familiar with. Marvelous.
In my search attempt I made a slight error of judgement and ended up on the wrong side of the stream...which I think is actually private property ? So watch out for that potential error. Once on the right path the find was simple - and colorful.

# 222
(# 2/4 4x4 challenge -Traditionals)

A find with KiwiCampNut after 8ManAfter's farewell event.
took the GC with blue spots and left another GC featuring a mammal that lives under blue skies and traditionally grases near blue streams.
We traced most of our steps along the path back to the other entrance where we'd parked the cars. KiwiCampNut was convoy leader and had just taken off when a car came from behind, thought I'd have to track KCN with a car between us, but they pulled in to where we had been, so I took off to leave plenty of room. Assume it was another cacher post-event. Sorry couldn't stop to say Hi again, I'd have lost KCN in th dark.
-GC +GC

Followed the path to this one after finding cache at other end of where car parked. RuruNZ found this one and took tb, which I discovered. Interesting area in the dark, should see it in daylight. Kiwicampnut

#287 Feeling a bit blue today so a walk & a geocache was just the thing required

A nice quick find while in the area today. TFTC. Cheers Bo

Another Peasant little walkway that I had never been too. Had this one reserve as a dot day. TFTC

Quick find with a very sad wee boy who had not long fallen out of tree then stood in dog poo, tftc

Would have felt blue if I didn't find it.TFTC,SL grabbed two bugs

Found with the grandchildren. A muggle was down in the stream foraging. We were more interested in her than she in us. TFTC

Found with Hello Mrs left 2 Tbs

Left TB

A quick find returning home from a family function. This is a great wee path that I can add to my list of cycle ways through Christchurch.

Thanks

TFTC

The cache name suggested something with more camo.

Easy find. Having been there a few weeks ago, I might move the Grand Canyon TB onwards...
