By mumandme on 06-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3G9Y3

My last find for the day as it was time to return to Junior at her swim meet. My heart sank when I saw multiple hint items. But no! It could only be the one. Thanks mumandkids for maintaining these caches.

nice find

What a beautiful place and a sneaky hide. TFTC

Interesting location for a cache in the residential area. Quickly signed and replaced as found.

#38, a bit of a late log as I forgot to log a few online, TFTC

Nice little cache. Feel weird when it’s bordering someone’s property but it is what it is

Tftc. Feels so rural out here with the views.

We had fun looking for this (for a long time)! Staring right at it.
Thanks for your hide!

Reasonably quick find. TFTC

It’s literally a rock

This should have been our first find. We tried to find this on the day we first happened upon this fabulous activity, but to no avail. It was kind of disheartening due to the D/T rating, luckily not terminal. We have been waiting to avenge this defeat, and today with more experienced geocaching eyes we did just that!
Thanks!

A nice quick find thanks. The raindows looked good from up here.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. It was a great weather most of today, except that it was very windy!Today we cruised from Masterton to Whanganui. The fun part was getting an unrepairable side wall flat tyre in Paihiatua, and rolling the tyre down the main street for a repair!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

It was very good and hard to find

Nice hide

Fun

It took us a while but we did it MIS UNICORN FART

View may be built out before too long. But it's a cracker for now!

(# 6529). A trip over the hill to the Wairarapa to grab some caches. A quick find. Everything in order. Thanks for bringing me here.

Nice!

A quick find and a good cache.Wrote the log and re-concealed carefully.TFTC!

Quick cute find. TFTC!

Cute!

Ok this took us a while! But eventually found it

Working with mis school teaching geocaching to a group of students

2020

Found it

I have now found two geocaches now thank you

Cool hiding spot, you had us going for a while!

Even though we had a pretty shrewd what we were looking for at GZ it still took a little bit of searching. The views of the Tararua mountains are indeed fabulous here.

Something a bit different from the rest caught my eye! The cache was signed and replaced. TFTC

Quick find. Vinaka

Had me going for a while. Tftc mumandme

First find on day 1 of 2 while visiting family in Masterton TFTC

In Masterton for a few days and the weathers been miserable. Had no idea there was snow covered mountains so close. Have a feeling it must have snowed up there last night as it’s been so cold and raining. Cache all fine.

Found on my trip north enjoying the caches in the area

Took a few minutes to find on the dark rainy night. 10-07-19

Found it

TFTC! Found with Āni nice easy find

Good find nice hiding spot

This was a great spot good for it was easy to find good for my kids

Was pretty busy around this spot today so my looked briefly. Impressive views though so well worth the trip

A fairly quick find, as although the location looked ominous, the cache was hidden in a logical place. Robnzh's electrician was still at the house! Perhaps he lives there. TFTC

No longer uninterrupted views as a house has been built right next to GZ, it's currently for sale, maybe some geocacher could buy it?

An electrician's vehicle arrived at the house as I had finished signing the log and it didn't look like they would leave for some time so all I could do was discreetly return the cache and look as innocent as possible!
There is potential to move the cache to an identical hide just across the road which would be more discreet now.
Cloud was building over the Tararuas where heavy rain is expected tomorrow.
TFTC.

For quite a bit I was convinced I must have been in the wrong area, but after a look through a few logs I knew I was in the right place, took a look around a saw this being a bit suspicious and grabbed it finding out that indeed it was the cache

Over in Masterton over night etc and to hear performance of St Matthew's passion so i decided it was about time i located the caches in this corner of the town. Ah the gabion i do so love this word!! with the cache tucked in close by. I had to wait until a walker and a cyclist finished their little conversation before i could get out of the car and go and have a search retrieve it and sign and replace it.
thank you for this cache and another smiley face.

My GPS died 4m from GZ but that was close enough for the find. Very cool views from here.

TFTC

Good day for the view

TFTC loved this one, took awhile to find as it was on dusk but finally fiquared it out

Was quite dark when we got there so took a few looks. Liked where it was tftc

Great views of the mountains - for many years I hope. Signed as Team ICE. TFTC

25 November 2017 19:18. This was an unexpectedly quick find! Tftc

Found as part of Team ICE (Infoferret, Zissas & EthNZ) on a cache gathering mission. First time I've come up to this subdivision. TFTC

I'm sticking to my goal of finding at least one cache each day of these school holidays, so despite the rain today I was out geocaching. We had never been in this part of Masterton before, I think we'll come back and enjoy the view another, sunnier day. My heart sank when, standing in the pouring rain, I read the hint and saw literally hundreds of hint objects in front of me. However, I did finally find a point of difference and ran to the car to sign the log.
Thank you for placing this cache; it was lovely to sign a dry log!

Very nice to get a find before a round of golf today. Stunning day and the Tararuas looking beautiful early in the morning light. Cache all good. TFTC

#3140. I decided to come over to the Wairarapa today so I could find 30 caches as part of the requirements for the MGSc challenge. I had planned for a series of easy park and grabs out in the boonies on the back roads north east of Masterton. But just before I went to fuel up, I discovered much to my horror I had left my plastic cards in my jeans back in Wellington. So with just enough fuel to drive around Masterton and then head back home again I had to radically change my plan of attack for the day. My GPS map did not show a road extending up here to the GZ. So I went instead to Nikau Heights Road and walked through the path to the GZ. Soon spied the general hiding area and a closer inspection revealed the cache. Nice camo for this site. Signed the logbook and placed the cache back where found. Thanks for hiding it here.

I hate you. Passed it over twice. Tftc

Nice!

Mum, Dad and the littlest muppet, who is an awesome geocacher, out on an adventure. The littlest muppet loved this one he said he was a secret agent. Tftc

Happy to be in Masterton after making our way down from the Tararuas. Picking off a few random caches of which this was one.
We made a straightforward find on the cache; signed the log, and then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Doing a spot of urban caching after a visit to Holdsworth, all good here, TFTC

Beautiful day to look at the view and fly kites!

Some nice looking houses going in up here .... A quick grab of the cache and on our way again tftc

Tftc!

We are probably the lousiest geocachers as we forgot a pen for today's hunt beyond Masterton... That's happen when you move things from their usual place and forget to put it back...

Very nice view!

Awesome cache!

Great little cache. The kids loved looking for it and I loved the view. We parked at the end of Nikau Heights and walked through which was lovely!

Cache checked today. All good.

Found this but nothing else, we persume this is it

Think we found we

Nice quick find tftc

DNF

Checked today and sure enough both the missing cache and the replacement cache were there - although the original cache took a bit of finding as it was no where near where it should have been. Have removed the original cache and left the replacement all ready for the next finder.

Quick find on a nice day. Hint helped as I had an idea what I was looking for. Tftc

Second find on same cache with someelse this time. Not sure if I was meant to find more than one container or not. Very interesting.

Found two log books very close together but only one cache on the app I use. Confusing, but clever spot TFTC

No views of the Tararua's today. Cold, wet but fortunately not to windy which would have just added to the bleakness of the day. After finishing up at the annual Junior Football Tournament popped up here to pick an an almost instant find before the drive back over the hill and home. No problems at GZ and cache located quite easily. TFTC

Great view

Well camouflaged!

thought this one was well done. Enjoyed the great views too

Great view, and yes we did take some photos of the snow on the Tararua's. He He tricky find sis. TFTC.

Clever!

Nice quick find on a miserable-weather day in the 'Rapa.
No probs here - as soon as I arrived I knew what I should be looking for - and it proved to be so.

TFTC!

TFTC loved it!!

Found today after bit of a hunt, not a pill container. But very clever hiding spot. TFTC

Looked for a fair while, had thorough look because low muggle area, only found dog poop

Cache has indeed disappeared. Replaced with a new one today.

Searched and searched and eventually gave up. The hint was absolutely useless.

??

Wasn't sure if the hint was going to be useful knowing the GZ but spotted it quickly TFTC

Beautiful view indeed on our cycle ride. Tftc

Lovely views. Cold wind late afternoon. TFTC

Great views from up here, walked from Landsdowne Trails, had to wait for a few Sunday drivers to go past, but otherwise a quick find. TFTC
