Garden to well made to Geo trash

Might need checking, that is 5 dnfs now

No joy for me either sadly i could be blind though

Couldn't find it

Couldn't find it

Far too many passing muggles to give this one any time -will have to try a quieter time of day!

Nice quick find at GZ after parking around the corner and strolling back. Didn't need a tool as described on the cache page so formalities were completed and cache returned. SL TFTC

Easy to find even in the dark when traffic was much quieter and no muggles about. Thanks

Tftc. GPS had me all ova the place but got there in the end.

Easy find! Bit of water in container. #GB4LIFE

A quick find - although I was muggled by the one of the local's dog who clearly heard that someone was fossicking around on the other side of the fence . . .

Tftc.

Mid-week caching en route from Palmy. A handful of random caches in Levin.
Straightforward find, cache in order; log signed, safely re-hidden.

The Turtle strikes again!

Three of us had planned a day out geocaching in the Horowhenua area today. Alas, one of the party members had a late withdrawal, so there was just two of us. It was a great day in the end. The weather was hot, we even had a few spots of rain trying to cool us down at one stage. I ended up finding about 45 caches with one DNF.
A quick find here as the cache was easily spotted in its resting place. Plenty of cars zooming by but none taking any notice of what I was up to.
Thanks for the cache and the smiley. Found with Tommygun9.

Easy find. Visible when close. Lot of muggles about to be weary of. TFTC.

Working in Levin for the week and caching after work. This one out of town a bit but took a drive to get a few caches in the immediate area. Felt horribly conspicuous and with no hiviz even more so. Having said that cache was quickly found. TFTC

Welkom in Levin

Took a wee while to find this one with muggle cars driving past from all directions! But then there it was and a bit bigger than expected

SOOOO many people about! managed to get it in between cars! Thanks for the cache

A nice quick find. TFTC

Some water in main cache but log still dry

No problem to find this one.

Funny!!! Found the original container before the "new" one - very small, and with a dessicated-up tiny log. Shortly afterwards found the new container, signed the log and placed the old cache inside the new container.

TFTC!

Quick find as the rain started, before going on to the famous Levin licorice factory for cheap seconds!!
TFTC

Good find log in good condition nice and water tight

Bigger better and 2in 1 so log stay dry and as bigger ( much check re cover to hide ) room for swag

Found the cache with Jax479 however log had been wet and then dryed, so that it was stuck together. May need replacing. TFTC

Cache found lying in the open.Log book has obviously been wet at some stage. Dry now but all stuck together and could not unroll it without destoying so no physical signing of log. Hid as best we could.

Log book needs replacing.

Cache unexpected although took a while to locate. Not having much success in Levin. Found at 1053 while returning to Piopio from Wellington. TFTC

TFTC
Nice easy find
Couldn't write on it though - too wet for pen to work

A road trip with tommygun9 was decided for today so we set off from work at lunchtime for a trip down the line to Levin in a truly dreary, wet and damp winters day.
A quick and easy find at GZ thanks to the company of previous finder tg9
T F T C

Dry and new might need a bag if I remember BUT now ready and waiting

Found it. The log book is wet so we didn't write in it otherwise it would rip. Posed for photos so we looked less suspicious.

Quick find on our way home. With Princess-Emily. Log wet & unable to write. TFTC

Found with Just-Lookin. Quick find, then climbed all over the sign. TFTC

Not quite the container we were expecting

Was a lucky find. Pretty easy to miss this one. TFTC

3:23:00 PM. Off the plane and heading home to Palmy for a week to catch up with family. Just had to stretch the legs and grab a cache while passing. Quick find. TFTCSL

All good. Nice hide. Tftc.

fingers were to big for this spot but got there in the end , tftc

Glad I could find this one quickly as I could imagine it taking a while if you didn't happen to fluke the spot on your first search location.
Found with Atoms7.

Found with Tommygun9. Pretended to be taking photos which seemed to work well. TFTC

A quick find today. Was initially looking for something different but regathered myself. TFTC

#326 - I have been meaning to get this one for over a year and on my trip south I was unable to as there were gardeners at GZ. On the return trip back up to Palmerston North it was all clear and I could have a good look. It didn't take to long to find the cache. Great to finally get this one ticked off.

Felt very conspicuous, as was confirmed by all the looks we were getting - seeing as we had to actually walk in the garden around the sign - but was the only way to grab the cache and capture the munzee there as well - I love these double whammys! Was a nice stop on a very very very windy day (summer..... come back....all is forgiven) - its a nice entrance to Levin although we think our blue lights and sculpture on the roundabout into Wangas is pretty cool, especially at night - but then we're biased. LOL. We've used those cache containers too - they're a good free alternative to the rather expensive ones - luckily Mrs RiffRaff spotted it quickly while scanning the crevices. TFTC

First find in the new year 2014 when walking the dog in the evening. TFTC!

this really was micro..great find. TFTC

Very stylish entry. Quite a few options here but easier once at the correct end! Tftc

Ha- I was at the right end from quinella . Tftc

A very neat and inconspicuous hide. This worked well in conjunction with capturing the munzee that is also hidden here. TFTC.

I didn't enjoy the exposed location of this cache but luckily it was a quick find so hopefully I didn't look too sus.

A quick and easy find while heading North. TFTC

Found . Quite a lot of cars about but I dont think they realised what I was doing. Im glad I had my tweezers as I had some trouble putting the log back in. TFTC

was able to get this very quick. thanks

Easy find on the way to a holiday in the South Island

Beginning to be my favourite caching area when traveling, knocked another off for Levin.
Nice hiding, almost missed it.

Didn't take long to track down and StreetWalker was able to retrieve the log without too much difficulty. Probably not the best to get while travelling south as had to cross the very busy and fast road.

5013. Troodles always like round numbers, and this was 30 for the day. Quick find, and easy enough to extract. TFTC.

Good hide. TFTC

nice easy find ty

#901. Took a few minutes to track down, wasn't quite what I was expecting but we got there in the end. We got a photo with the kids on the stone posts to mark the occasion. SL, TFTC.

Wasn't quite the hide I was expecting, but still found it quite quickly. TFTC

Late log, sorry! TFTC

Stopped here for a quick find on the way back to PN after being in Wellington for the day. TFTC.

Nice cache and nice hide - Jnr GoodNik found it pretty quick!
TFTC!

On the way back to Wellie, with a couple of nights in Levin at the better halfs parents, after a great New Year at Mangaweka Campground.
Nice quick find, and hard to not be seen here at this GZ, so again out comes the phone while doing the paperwork.

Nice hide, quick find with JDSavannah.
TFTC

Found it with family. very public spot tho

Nice liked it. Out caching with family. Great clues

This isn't my favourite type of location to go caching. However, I quickly found what I was after and was soon on my way.

Nice cache! Shiny! TFTC

So so hot...gimme water!!!
