Very little tree? That's gorse. Surely the CO knows that is a bush. I started going up the other side of the big one and then I spotted the small one on the cliff side. No for the final search that didn't take very long. Thanks drawp.

#19321. I got to GZ first but managed not to find the cache. Troodles did a better job of searching when she got to GZ. From memory, I didn't think the hint was entirely accurate (that's my excuse for not finding it Smile). TFTC.
 
07-Feb-21
Found with StreetWalkerNZ on day 2 of our Waitangi weekend to Kurow and surrounds. Today we are doing a loop trip, travelling the road east of Lake Aviemore, then up to Omarama for a late lunch back south to Kurow, finding 55 caches along the way.
Once in the right place, the cache was a quick find. TFTC.

A nice quick find today thanks. Pleased to see that it was there this time. Picked up a travel bug.

Ms_KR and I decided to have an extended Show Weekend break, and today we cruised home. Some walking, some biking... Another lovely day with plenty of little distractions to find.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.
 
16-Nov-20
Glad to get the first cache of the day here on the way home to Chch
Glad to have had a good brekker at Wrinkly ram
Glad it wasnt a real fish
Glad it's sunny
Glad to see funny pine cones.

Beautiful spot on a less than perfect day easy find with Spoonz2 ... this was an alternative after our initial plans were gazumped by red tape due to wilding pine logging tftc
 
26-Oct-20
After all the rain the water is high today, but cache is safe and dry. Found with Flumsy2. Thanks for this one.

A easy find and saw a couple of fish
 
17-Feb-20
We apparently visited here on 28/9/2015 but it wasn't there then and was later replaced by drawp. This time it was a quick and easy find. I could see the telltale rock sign on our approach. Then we drove a short distance away, where we found a picnic spot right by the lake but in the shade. After lunch, I sat in the perfect temperature, no wind, no bugs and watched M fishing. The perfect day. Tou could not ask for more. I even had 5 blips on the cell phone! M didn't catch a fish here though he did get a bite. We moved closer to opposite the spillway where we watched it spill some water and he caught a small trout, just right for tea tonight. A favourite point for the perfect day.

In Kurow for the long weekend and today's geoadventure started off with a walk up Kurow Hill. Plenty of snow on the hills but a beautiful winter's day and hardly a cloud in the sky! First mission completed so now to head to Otemetata. A nice quick find here and the dam was spilling so pretty spectacular TFTC
 
21-Apr-19

Yebo dwarp

We are on the southern island for business and leisure and that leisure part includes geocaching, of course

Found well

Tftc
 
05-Feb-19
Yah, another one.
 
25-Jan-19
Found it. Must read the logs first.
TFTC
 
25-Jan-19
Out geocaching for the day with Aussie Pete. Found the large tree and some small ones but no luck. Group of young muggles then arrived to jump of the rocks into the water. They were fill of bravado till they hit the cold water. None of them went in for a second dip.
Finally found the cache. Later we looked at the logs and it shouldn't have been so hard to find.
Note. Plenty of toilet paper around.
 
20-Oct-18
this one had been found and signed be a muggle and then just left out in the open so of course I replaced it under a pile of rocks at the base of the tree TFTC
 
04-Oct-18
Yay! This was missing last time we came, so very happy to get a yellow smily now.
 
04-Oct-18

Found with nissan 65. Flew in from sydney for a short holiday. Hoping to see as much as i can on the south island and pick up caches along the way . Thanku for the cache.
 
17-Apr-18
Like a real bunch of muppets we forgot a pen. So we took a photo.
 
12-Apr-18
Camped overnight so had to stroll over and grab this one. TFTC!!!
 
03-Apr-18
Tufty accompanied Mrs BaldEd and I as we made our way around Lake Aviemore. Nice quick find, but the road toward it could do with some maintenance. Come on Waitaki District Council, do some maintenance. TFTC drawp.
 
03-Apr-18
Out with BaldEd picking up a few caches around the Aviemore and Benmore dams area.

I dare say the little tree is getting a little larger but is still a little tree in comparison.

Cheers for the cache.
 
10-Feb-18
Staying just down the lake. Out for Mtb. TFTC

13-Oct-17
Had a good look. Reading the comments, I think this one has disappeared.
 
04-Oct-17
Hmm. Had a good hard look and read the clue however we just couldn't find it. We could see where it probably should have been but unfortunately it looks like it's gone.

No luck today.

Thought we had the right spot, between the 2 hint items. Maybe daylight will help. Cheers.

Next time.......
 
27-May-17
A shortish hunt (there aren't too many options here) by torchlight yielding nothing for us. Hmmm, not many places it could have been either so we'll be back. Cheers

Fefe.adrien and I visited the left shoreline of the lake Aviemore and we did the deep stream walking track. We found all the boxes on the way.
Nice landscapes around.

We signed on the logbook with our team name : Lekiprokos.
The last one of the afternoon.

Ninalila and I choose to walked in the valley 'Deep Stream' to find some boxes and then search for some others along the lake Aviemore by drive-in.
All of them where well maintained and easy to find.
