This cache was still in place and in good condition when I checked on it at the end of June. Decided to check and replenish again today after the previous log but it has indeed gone. Thr trees have been freshly marked for a severe prunning so I presume it was discovered and removed then. No point in replacing with the work still to be carried out and its done it's dash anyway. Thanks to everyone that visited.
Had a really good search of all the Hong areas within about 20m. No luck here today.
Oooh a little trail that must lead to a treasure! Nicely themed cache full of items I am unfamiliar with on a beautiful Nelson evening just before sunset. Thanks isis58 your cache is in good condition.
Lovely. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2288
Day 14
Visit Nelson for the day. Travelling on both islands for 22 days holidays. My rental car has broken down and stayed another overnight waiting for a replacement another car. Nice view from here. Found it. Thanks Isis58 for placing this cache

This was a fun find that Miss 10 and Miss 9 would've loved to find. I took a photo of the cache and showed them when I got home and they had big smiles on their face and said how cool it was.

Lovely cache. Certainly fit for a princess.
Got spotted by a muggle as I returned to less royal society

A very well themed cache, wish my granddaughters were here today to help me find this one. Thanks CO.
Fit for a princess indeed and more cosmetics in the cache than I own myself. As there was royalty in the region this week thought it was appropriate to tackle this cache while in the area. All in good nick and well disguised, Thanks isis58 for a nicely themed cache.
Fit for a princess indeed. Haha. A quick enough find with Tregearp - a couple of choices, the third as it happened. Enjoyed the cache contents. All in good order, signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache isis58.
A quick and easy find. Thanks
Having a wee break up in Nelson. Today we drove not too far away from the middle of town, had some good walks and had lovely fine weather. Those we found together were signed Ms+Mr KR.
Thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches. Cheers.

Amikacine is a princess so when we come to Neslon to visit the shop of the ringmaker and we see a cache "fit for a Princess", we will go . Pretty large, we don't miss it and it's a found it, thanks for this creation
A nice big container with lots of stuff in it for future princesses. Dropped a TB in and put it in logbook bag so it doesn't go astray with any of those princesses. tftc
Very nicely stocked. Pretty quick find. Hope the theme of this one keeps going! Let a couple pathtags. Please only take one, and log if retrieved
Yes, it most certainly is that. Plenty of girl loot in this one, I felt a bit like an intruder opening this..... Took a seat on the grass and enjoyed the view as I signed the log. TFTC Isis.
Today I decided on a trip to Nelson with a pretty open agenda. I had noticed that my D/T matrix is a not flattering 55, and has gained only one in the last 6.5 months. Not good. So I targeted some that may help that, as well as a few for the the hidden month matrix, and of course any others that get in the way. Not hugely productive but a good day anyway - spent too much time revisiting some that have been causing me problems....

I'll sort this one out sometime this week. Sorry I had totally forgotten lifestylea's log
Over in Nelson for a quick visit - and a nice drive up here for the fantastic views.
Parked up the road and wandered back - darted off the road and hid away nicely for the signing of the log... but then was almost sprung by a dog chasing a stick down the bank. Dropped a TB to further its travels.
Wet log book - sorry didn't have a spare with me - I must be more organised next time.

Quick find, biggest problem was waiting for a gap in the traffic before bursting out of the bushes.
Great theme, really enjoyed that.
note - lid was not shut properly, and log is soaked, almost unusable. Sorry, had no paper with me.
Made sure I shut the lid tight/properly

I visited this cache this afternoon couldn't find it. It could have been the fact I was looking in the wrong place but with the help from pc I soon had it.Thanks for placing this cache isis58. Another one on my streak no76
We had a look for a nearby cache but could not find that one, so this one turned out to the cache of the day as we were running out of time to find one in between appointments. Our wee granddaughter (our princess) would be disppointed if she knew what she missed out on. Thanks Isis58 for the cache
Nice. I took too long to find this cache. The cache took about 25 minutes to find. It took longer than I thought it would but I'm not surprised as it was well disguised. means we turn up 15 minutes late to dinner at a friends house but geocaching was a good way to fill in the time. find #255
Us Princesses wanted to add a few caches to the numbers so we focused on low d/t caches.
Happy to grab this cache as one of them.
TFTC.

How about for my little princes born 10 days ago!?! Great spot with fantastic views.
Thanks very much
Thanks very much
Went and checked on this cache today after a request from an unsuccessful searcher. All good. My GPS read 2 metres. Interestingly the cache was practically bare - probably from all the muggles signing the log but good for them that they have left the cache in tact. Happy caching.
Was out caching with Gorby , rustynz and Rebel98 ....we are down here for 3 days from Auckland ....
We hunted in several trees with no luck , looking for something pink and girly .
Rusty made the find , a bit tricky to see as was in a black bag !

Down from Auckland, me with Rebel98, rustynz and supernanny, and we're here in sunny Nelson for 3 days, such a privilege to be able to do this. We all searched at GZ, but only after expanding our search did the cache come to light, quite relieved to have it hand, rusty found this one tonight. Very girly alright - SOO pink!
Our adventure started with a local event arranged by Rustynz and a group of us are collecting as many caches in the nelson area as possible starting with this one and ending who knows where and by whom
our group is the Gorbynator, Suppernanny and the Rustynz.

With the city lights twinkling below, our group of rebel98, supernanny and gorby searched in a few places, for this elusive hide. It took a little longer than expected for a container of this size, but we are no quitters, and thankfully I spotted something girly, and reached
Thanks for the hide, and being part of our Nelson caching adventures!

Found it thanks to using a stick to poke around. Nice ray of sunshine coming through on it too. Tftc
Purdy pink pack placed perfectly.
TFTC!
(Could use a little TLC, some water got inside)

After searching through two wrong trees first, found this rather obvious cache (duh) and Mr 4 enjoyed the contents, not phased by its girlieness at all. Tftc.
Almost thought it was a rubbish bag! Princess and Prince loved claiming treasure and placing theirs (Duplo block!). The King and Queen enjoyed it too.
I had much better luck this time than I did back in 2013. Drove off shaking my head and wondering how I missed it that time. Cheers and TFTC
Beautiful morning for a walk. First Nelson cache after arriving last night off the ferry. Fantastic views in all directions. Fav point. Thanks for the cache.
Thank you so much Gransline - that is amazing for a first time cacher. Disabling in the meantime till I sort it out.
Quick find, very girly indeed Bit disappointed I didn't have my 4 year old princess with me. Thanks!
Enjoyed tripping along the ridge. This has to be the girliest of caches I've encountered. All in the pink.
Cache find was straightforward, all in order. Log signed; cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

mrs capperz, and nightowl19's holiday on the South Island is over which means a run to the airport at Nelson to get them home. We spent a pleasant morning in and around Nelson doing some of the sights; Cathedral, Tahuna beach, views from up above the beach and it was another great day weather-wise too. All good things must come to an end though and once they were safely up in the air and away I turned on the G P S and had a little look-see for a few before all the daylight deserted me.
A good sized container and one nightowl19 would have appreciated. I will bring her here next time she visits for a girly find
