Dog Gone (Otago) Wyndham, South Island, New Zealand
By stegan on 19-Mar-13. Waypoint GC47ZH7

Out for a Monday drive thought we would try our luck while here...easy find TFTC

My second Stegan cache today: and a pristine logbook too. TFTCI found it as per the hint and (just) within the usual margin of measurement error with my phones GPS.

Just a jar not a dog

A saucy find

No longer at base of post

I'm afraid this dog is gone. But the concrete edge of the strip is indeed there.

Can't seem to find amongst the growth of the grass.

Tftc easy find sl and replaced

Quick find on a tiki tour around the area, don't know how I missed it last time. TFTC

Very hard to find took awhile to find very small

It was dark and wet so we didn’t have that good of a look lol

Still found it 5yrs on woof woof

Accurate location but extremely small to find!!

Couldn't find this one today unfortunately

Kia ora for the cache.

I would hazard a guess that not only Dog Gone but cache as well.

TFTC, thankfully this dog wasn’t gone.

great cache. thank you

Staying at this camp is a wonderful highlight of our trip. Very cute cache!

4th times a charm!
Found on a freezing southland day
TFTC

Turned the frown upside down , not sure why I didn’t look there last time. Tftc

*Found on a nice day going from cache to cache with woolwood9.*
We soon had the container located. SL: **tm/ww NZ**
Thanks for putting this out for us to visit!

Found pretty easily!

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.
Signed logs tm/ww NZ
TFTC

My third attempt at this one. Buoyed on by my wherigo success decided 3rd time lucky as the horses looked on. Then success!! How did I miss it before.

Oh well time for lunch.

Cache 538 awwwwww what a cute little cache, I have one similar hidden away in otatara ️ this one took a little bit of a hunt and I must have looked odd as I was down on my hands and knees but cache was soon I’m hand was a bit worried when I targeted this cache due to the DNFs but he was exactly where the hint said he would be, he is in great shape T4TC ️

Had a look for this one a couple of times and it continues to allude me

Couldn’t spot this cache today

Found this wee cutie after almost giving up based on last log. All present and correct. Signed and replaced. Tftc woof woof

DNF

Good find

Thought that the road was camping ground but still public so all sweet. Had to use the car as a bit of a screen from the campers TFTC

What a wee cutie tftc

On a caching adventure down south with KJR. Was a nice and easy find TFTC

Heading South for some caches to complete the Mystery at the Museum. A nice quick find here with Gadget169 TFTC

Found in the dark. Time to call it a day!
Tftc

Nice little doggy has a secret hiding place. I found the log and SL. Popped a band around his tummy to keep the loose catch in place and returned to hide TFTC.

Must have gone walkies on me.

Found on exact coordinates cool cache TFTC easy to do at night time with liltuhoe

Unable to find it

*Bow wow little dawgie. Replaced the RITR logslips. Still a wee cutie. Rub his tummy so the catch stays in place, tied with a little band to stop falling off. Wet cache. Oooh I found another white dawgie while on safari out of state but it didn't open as well as Spot does. **Carnival 3pt***

27 Oct 15 Found Another false start on this one. Returned to find coast was clear, waved to muggle golf cart people while I sat down beside post. The cutest cache yet, just luvly. Cache signed and returned to hide. TFTC

No luck for me today

Us locketts dnf either we stayed there about 2 weeks ago for 2wks scrambling, lots of growth there gudluck peeps!!

Swag kids couldn’t find it

A chance to visit a friend and pick up this one.
So we saddle up the dog and headed to the gz .
With dog on the lead we did not look out of place the muggles at the camp did not suspect a thing .
A quick search soon had the cache in hand we signed log and return to hide great container .
Now to put the thinking cap on.

tftc

Went for a drive, and thought to get this one on the way past.
None of the muggle campers even batted an eye.
Cute container!
Tftc

A nice road trip to found this one.
Found with Annielin and Downsouthinv.
Tftc

Glad my mom was with me otherwise I would not have found it. Tftc

Tftc! On our way on a trip through New Zealand we stay on this campsite en found the cache

Good hint

**This was 1 of 18 caches that was found by me on the 5th of 19 days in New Zealand.**
**Which also was the 58th of 75 days that my travels thru southeast Asia and Oceania would last.**

Here I found an excellent place to spend the night. With an kitchen and an possibility to was myself for the first time in a couple of days. So after parking the rental on an flat place i took an short evening stroll to this cache before I made the car ready for an nights sleep..

*During 19 days I traveled from Christchurch to Auckland in an SUV, that i also slept in during most of the nights. 5.956 km of driving did it take to visit the 351 caches that I have marked as found in c:geo.*

*Earthcaches was my main focus during the stay. And I manage to visit 106 of them. So New Zealand is right now the only country where earthcaches are my most found cache type .*

Cute container!

Cute little hide

Cute wee container but too wet to sign. Found with Luciusmalfoy05 and Footy08

???

A+

Easy find TFTC

Quick find of the cute wee container today so no idea why I couldn't find it last visit. Always feels good to turn a blue sad face into a nice yellow smiley. TFTC # 12,010

nice cute container found without to much trouble tftc

Was more interested in the post next to it and the long horizontal pole. Extended to nearby posts several thistles here. Thought dog was really gone. In the end found SL and replaced. TFTC

On the road before 8 this morning to see how close I can get to my goal of 2000 by the end of the year.
Quick find on the second time here. Earlier today there were quite a few campground muggles out and about so I gave it a miss aiming to return.
Muggles are all out and about (or having a siesta), so was able to pull up in the shade at GZ to make the find.
I do remember the hydatites strips around Taranaki when I was a kid. It's only as you get older that you realise (find out) what it was all about.
Unable to fully comply with 2nd part of hint as time has taken its toll. But is in a bit better state than when I found him - wiped out bag and dried off RITR paper, and both parts are more together than they were.
Thanks for the smilie.

Very hard to find

Cute cache, thought we would grab this before attempting another in the area, hoping the drizzle will subside. TFTC

Drove too far up as i spotted the dog sign. Quickly found, after initially "barking" down the wrong post.

4y.o. liked this tiny container. TFTC.

Happy to find it this time. Fun cache.

I thought I had found this cache before as the area was so familiar but as its wasn't logged . Found again. TFTC

Dnf

Found a dog with waimate venturers

Very cool find kids loved it. Log book looked like it has gotten wet and smudged.

Found it

Cute dog but not much else!

Found a wee dog but that all!!?

How cute! Was looking in completely the wrong place for ages

My mission is my first 3 day tramp on Stewart Island. The Seagnoid has Xmas off so we are off on an epic adventure with Zara around the South Island. The Seagnoid is navigator and scribe, Zara and I have teamed up and Im cache logger. Its The Catlins to Bluff today, so lets get going!
A hunting we will go and hunting we did. Finally snagged and tagged. Cheers

TaybeeDragon and I are off for a three day walk on Stewart Island. But we have a camper, so once you add in getting there and back, it's a three week trip. Day 9: Catlins to Bluff.

Well, this was a challenge! The many eyes of the Seagnoid were not up to the task. It too the sharp sight of the dragon to spot the cache.

Found

Found it

TFTC - found today on my way home after a visit to see the grandkids

Was hard to find but found it

Sooo small!

Took long

We'd been here before but back today and made short work of finding it today. Found with Aoraki Sheep.

We'd not had any luck before but that was when we were reasonably new to geocaching. Passing today so thought we'd stop and were happy to lay a hand on the log. Found with debsnz

A bit of a detour on the way home from Invercargill to pick up a few and visit a friend for a quick cuppa.
Quick find, but about 8m out for me.
Nice bit of history.
TFTC

TFTC Nearly missed it.

This took longer than it should have...I had to widen the search area to find what I was after. TFTC

No find today

Really cool!!

Love the cache idea, made us smile

Quick find while taking dogs for a walk, tftc

Your special wee friend is where he should be. At hint place beside the other big object, under the little object.

Disappointed not to find this one as it sounds a special one.

Think we found where it should have been horses were great though

Nice

Hehe cool. Tftc

Haha different style cache TFTC!!!

This is the most unusual cache I've ever found. So appropriate. Thtc. Found with Anytar on July 14. I was the driver and forgot to log when we got home.

Our last find for the day after enjoy the caches of Wyndham this afternoon. Fun and creative, thanks.

Thanks

Very well hidden!!!
