Mind The Cows (Nelson/Marlborough) Motueka, South Island, New Zealand

Haven't got round to replacing this one, time to go.

Gone burgers. Will try and replace if I can find a bit of spare time.

Thought I knew what I was looking for here, but no luck.

No luck for us today. Probably worth an owner check after a run of DNFs.

Arrived at dusk so had the place to myself.

No luck at the obvious spots.

Should have tried this one before going to Water the Dog, there was no one insight then however by the time I got back and was just about to start the search when muggles seemed to come from every angle. Abandoned the search for another day

Easily found on a day out caching in the region with Waiiti20. Another nice hide - although a little temperamental. Gets a fav from us. TFTC

great spot....I have been here before a few times ....kayak training get out. as for cache, gps bang on for me....oh you do love those wee buggers don't you !! cheers for the fun.

Found with Emvy_us while on a road trip for the day in the area - no issues with extracting the log as it fell out and required a search on the ground. TFTC, #6111

A quick find today - I had come here a couple of years ago for a predecessor cache but it wasn't there. No problems with this one and I had a suitable tool to extract the logsheet. Unfortunately the lid of the container is missing but the logsheet is still reasonably secure inside. Signed log, TFTC

No cows and a find after ignoring the GPS.

No problems for me today - managed to lay my hand straight on the cache. Lovely area!! TFTC!!

Well wasnt a quick find but got it in the end,,, nice hide Kehu ... Thanx4tc

Are loving your hides Kehu. This took a wee while. TFTC

No cows today, a cute hide

Took us a little bit but got there in the end. TFTC.

Cute cache..had to fight off a spider but left her happily guarding her egg sac reasonably undisturbed. Thanks

had no trouble finding this cache
clever hide
thank you for the cache

You had me looking suspiciously at a lot of dry pieces before I spotted the cache. Another nice Kehu hide.
TFTC

Cache check = All good. There's currently a seal living in the river just upstream of GZ.

I've been on a three week tour of New Zealand. We were a group of 20 Danes, where I was the only geocacher, but many were interested to hear about what it was.

We arrived in Motueka late afternoon yesterday, and all day today was on our own. I chose to lace up my hiking boots and take a walk after the four caches I had chosen in the area.

Today's first cache was found after a little searching - and became todays most creative hidden container.

Thanks to the cache owner for the cache.

After having sucess at a close by cache tonight thought we would try our luck here too . No problems with any cows tonight but had to be careful where one puts there feet!!. Followed a logical path to GZ where things then didnt work out but after thinking of CO checked our location and a further look soon had us with cache in hand TFTC

Made our way to Gz and after a short look we then moved on to the other GZ that did hold the cache but the gps didn't agree with us lol either way it was nice to get 2 caches tonight and manage not to stand in the cow pats although the cows had obviously moved on tonight thanks for the cache

another goodie

Mrs SoBad and sister hoping to make it two out of two before heading off for convivial company on the way home. Two ideas in mind and the second one paid off when the search was widened a bit. The actual cacher got this one.
Thanks.

cant say it was quick. but eventually found it. tftc

Having suffered from the opposite experience to other searchers recently I was back again today after the event in Marahau. This time I broadened my search by just a few more metres and soon spotted where I needed to look. Nice one!! TFTC, Biggles.

No cows today and an easy find here before coming undone at your next one.
Thanks Kehu.

Head scratching for a bit then read the past logs and soon had it. TFTC

Took a little hunting, and found it after avoiding some poo
Cheers Gav

Hmm looks like I had the reverse experience of Geckoh. No easy find for me on this one so I've managed to prove the CO wrong on that count...

Cache check, still there, all good, no cows.

Took a bit to find this one got it in the end definate favorite.

We know by now to look for something a bit different from this CO and this one certainly fell into that category. Because of, or in spite of this it didn't take too long to find. Another great hide and another favourite point. TFTC.

At GZ we looked around to find that something appeared strange. And it was. Having worked the land probably helped A fav. TFTC

Found this one early this morning and took Bonniedoon09 to find her first cache! Perfect one for it thank kehu loving your mahi

Thought we would look for this cache while in the vicinity. Enjoyed the view from the stop bank - the river looked very inviting and though there were no cows, there were plenty of dogs enjoying a run. A quick find. TFTC

Completely fluked this as I had a very different hide in mind. I hadn't realised this was such a new cache so pleased to take the STF here. TFTC 4273

No cows about - - - or steers, or bulls, but you could certainly notice the effect of those big feet on the turf!! Wondered momentarily if the guy with the dogs might be the CO, but I'm sure had it been he would have sussed what we were up to and introduced himself. Don't you love it when it's a tricky hide but you click straight away? That's what happened to us today, which is how this one earns a favourite point from me. TVMFTC

Had a few errands first before heading out for a couple of new cache to check out an d this was the first of them at about 12:53pm and amazed to be the FTF. Nice hide on a quiet day off work.TFTC
