Found this one years ago but never logged it, now that kids are old enough to join in we've been back in the hunt. Knowing exactly where this one is I gave my phone to the boy and sent him to lead the way. Only prompt I gave him was to think about where he would hide a cache, and he soon had it in his hands. Kids enjoyed the curious cows keeping a close eye on us too

Convinced KathyKaches to take a day off work and come caching with me...we spent the day collecting caches while driving from Tauranga to Hamilton (and stopping for coffees and treats along the way of course).

This was our last cache of the day coming back to TGA. What a lovely spot to end our caching adventures today. Thanks Very Happy

Zara, Etherlord and I are at last on our way home from the Turangi Mega. The trip back to Palmerston North will take three days!

Ngamuwahine? The female... somethings? What does mu mean? ... Move. The travelling women? That's the problem with Maori place names - they are descriptions, and shortened forms take them out of context

It took the Seagnoid and I three days to drive the ~250KM from Palmerston North to Turangi for the Mega.
I wonder how long it'll take us to drive back home given that our post-Mega road trip will be via Tauranga to collect the North Island's only remaining Webcam Cache!

Thanks for the hide, I was intrigued by the container. Do you know the origins of it?

24-May-16
Went over to Tauranga today for my grand-kids cross-country event. They were lucky with the weather. On way home decided to do some geocaching. This was a nice fine. I like that the container had MATCHES on it. I have seen large matchbox containers made of cardboard but not metal. SL. Needs a new plastic bag. TFTC.Smile

On the mission today to make a joint milestone - finding my 4000th and Hari's 1000th - 5 left to go.

Liked the container here, well matched with the hiding place Smile
Also, the river is very rocky on one side of the bridge and without rocks on the other - interesting.

#40 Out with LimmyB. and cam_777 on a caching trip to Tauranga. Three out of three so far for the day. Seen this bridge plenty of times while travelling over the hill. Very cool hide, took us two sweeps of the bridge to find it but well worth it.

We are heading off this afternoon to Mt Maunganui for a relaxed weeks holiday. On the way down from the Kaimais we stopped at Ngamuwahine to make the find on this cache. A lovely spot that we have visited before for the multi that once started nearby. Thanks.

Great to have a safe parking spot close by as grandson was keen to explore!. My phone decided to log out at the crucial moment so while I was waiting for it to reload I looked and put my hand on immediately! Thanks for your cache.

#11761. A lovely wee spot; well worth a short detour off a busy road. TFTC.
 
23-Feb-16
Today we leave Auckland and are headed to Mt Maunganui, not via SH2 on which we have travelled a few times in the last couple of weeks, but via the scenic route: Matamata and the Kaimai Ranges. Not a lot of caching opportunities along the way, but we were grateful for the caches we did find to break up the journey.
A very peaceful spot, in contrast with the busy road not so far away. Cool container, which didn't take long to track down. Last find of the day. TFTC.

Heading over the Kaimai range to attend a geocaching event in the hills above Whangamata. It's raining but WTH I haven't done a cache for a little while and this one is a Zork V who now resides in Taranaki, so with 5 FPs I just *had* to stop. Different container. Strikes me as a good spot to stop over for the night if one needed a free camp. TFTC Zork V

#7112. Parked off Ngamuwahine Road in Lower Kaimai for a short walk this morning. Great view of the Ngamuwahine River. GZ was all quiet when we visited. Quick find. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.
