Was off on a solo caching raid from Runanga to Lake Brunner. I DNFd this one yesterday and was determined to locate it today. I had soon had a DOH moment - why didn't I look there yesterday? TFTC TFTC.

When Albi mentioned about his work commitments at Fox Glacier, as always we decided to make a trip out of it, but this time its a long over due overnight one. Spending quality time together, enjoying the drive, picking up some caches, small walks, and also cherry on top, a Heli ride woo-hoo.
Quick and easy find here. TFTC.

Stopped on our way to the Arnold dam to go for a walk. We didn't get stranded today. But did a couple of circuits before we located. TFTC
No need for us to hitch a ride today thank goodness. All good here. Thanks for the placement Gracie7
We were on the way to ChCh for a maintenance daytrip and this was our first stop this morning. The cache is still here - not sure how some experienced cachers missed it. All good here. Happy Caching 
We headed out on a rainy Anzac Monday to Cave Stream to replace a full logbook (the best kind of maintenance needed ) Only 2 caches needed checking but we did a few random cache checks and managed to place a few aswell not a bad day for our 300km return trip. This was one of those random stops we made as I couldnt remember how long it had been since we were here - so long infact that I had forgotten we downsized the container last time we were here. LOL All good here. Happy Caching

(# 5358). Today is day 5 of my West Coast trip. All I can say is rain, rain and more rain. Today's order of the day was to go to Moana and have a look around. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC
Family (In Laws plus Sister & Brother In Law plus their kids!) holiday on the West coast (Hokitika and Westport). Holiday done and time to head for home....via Greymouth, Brunner & Arthurs Pass. Heavy rain set in but hay - gotta stop now and again for a cache or two.....quick find and sign here...and thankfully some shelter to sign it! Last cache of the trip - time to beat it for home. Thanks.
Out and about over the Easter weekend grabbing some caches as I head to Christchurch via the west coast. Thank you for placing all these wonderful caches out for me to find. Had fun looking in, under , around and behind to find them. Apologies for the cut and paste logs. Your caches made the trip a lot more interesting with some adventure thrown in. TFTC
Off to ChCh on a Maintenance Run via Brunner today.
All okay here and as it should be. Happy Caching

Nachdem Heckenstürmer und ich den gestrigen Nachmittag und den heutigen Morgen auf Arthurs Pass verbracht hatten (angeblich geschlossene Strasse wegen "Coast to Coast"), konnten wir unseren Weg nach Greymouth fortsetzen. In Moana eine kleine Runde gemacht und bei Brunners etwas Geschichte betrieben.

Out on both sides of the river today doing abit of a maintenance run and then we came out here to check these aswell. The logbook was abit damp so we replaced it with a new one. All good here. Happy Caching
Two days ago I came along to do these caches but I had a senior moment and forgot to load them into my GPS then. But now they are there.
The rain is starting to come down a bit harder.
Cheers for the cache.

Very easy, and the shelter has been recently painted. So someone is looking after it. TFTC
Last day of our enjoyable Queens Birthday visit to the West Coast. Time to find a few caches in and around Greymouth, polish off the last of the card trail bonuses then head back to Christchurch via Lake Brunner.
The bench seat seemed pretty dirty, but there were a few clean patches on it as though some bums had recently been sitting there! Hope they didn't wait too long for the bus. Quick find once in the right spot. TFTC.

#14215. I wonder whether school buses stop here. No danger of one turning up on the Queens Birthday holiday. TFTC.
