Nice little cache.Went for a drive to get some caches I normally drive by. Since a nice day, I decided to get some.TFTC cheers zl2sga.
Loved this find, although hints from hider were very helpful after original attempt failed
Thanks for your amazing cache Marisa & kris. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches.Found with Fisha1288 Cheers, Cympull.
Stinky smells from gas compond. Good find. Hidden back where we found it. Still a few spaces in the log.
Day 2 of our caching trip to Palmerston North area with HeMaLuDy, UncleSamNZ, Keylev, and myself, signing in as SEAC or TEAM SEAC to save logbook space. A big thanks to all the CO's for cache placement and maintenance, making this trip the success that it was.TFTC.
Day #2 of the Team SEAC extra long weekend little road trip for Labour Weekend.Woohoo after previous DNFs it was nice to find this one! The hint was correct but one had to see it before we were able to grab it. Thanks for the cache.
Tiny nano. Took a bit. Late at night.Small group of caching buddies drove down from Auckland for the long weekend, and headed for Palmerston North area. Sorry for the generic posts, but we had so many caches to find.Had a great time, with so many laughs. Thanks to all the Cache owners who placed the caches.All logs signed "SEAC" or "Team Seac"
12 September 2021 12:55. No pressure for GSEL who quickly spotted this one! TFTC, no 10078 for me.
#9883. After being in COVID19 lockdowns for several weeks the key to greater freedom came this week and a chance to get out of Wellington and geocache in a neighbouring region. Infoferret joined me on the trip up north. The main aim today was to pick up some Adventure Labs but also puzzle finals and any nearby caches. We were heading up to Feilding but stopped here on the way.
I was a bit confused here at first as I thought I was looking for one of the Manawatu railway series but soon clicked I had driven past the nearby one as I had a car tail-gating me along that stretch of road. This one took a few minutes to spot but once my brain adjusted to the new search image of a nano it was quickly located. IF signed the logbook and we replaced as found. Thanks marisa&kris for hiding the cache here.

After a couple of nights in Marton and one in Feilding where we stayed overnight at Timona Park, we headed home today and picked up a few caches along the way. This was one of them. Wasn’t where I initially thought it might be, but located it a moment or two later. Not the “usual brace cache”! #3853. TFTC.
Mrs Arcane and I found the hint object and decided to each look in a different spot. Mrs Arcane soon had the log in hand.
TFTC Mar1sa!

#1383. Found the nano lying on the ground covered in leaves, not up where I am sure it belongs. And the log is full. Scrawled on a spare bit but it really needs a new log. Replaced in an appropriate place.
Last find on this afternoon’s caching spree that started in Palmy and ended here tonight.
Tftc marisa&kris.

Slow cross country journey to Whanganui for work. Caching today in Ashhurst and on to Fielding. Tricky little find for a brace! Thanks
I attempted to do this cache the other day on my way home from my NZ Post Rural Delivery run. Parked up no problem, and saw the hint immediately. Thought I'd attack it from the track to the facility. I'll just cross at this fallen fence... Yeah, Right!
Forgot to lift a foot and FOOSH I'm on the ground. Blood seeping out of my knees, hands, and right shin where I'd caught it on the wire. Plus my chest hurt like a bugger from the hard landing. Feeling around gingerly, seemed I'd not broken any ribs, so thought Bugger this, it can wait for another day.
Today is that day. We're out of Level-4 tonight at midnight, but there won't be a lot different. But we will be able to buy takeaways and COFFEE! Woohoo! In the meantime it's still quiet here, and it was an easy find. Logbook is full - just one space left.
Postscript: I did crack a rib. Still sore weeks later

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We were really keen to log a Leap Day Event cache and collect the souvenir, but our nearest was the camp-out at Awhitu. We have already cached in that area and wanted to use our time a bit more effectively, so we reasoned that a trip south would be worthwhile. There were three events in the Manawatu region. Road trip...
Another Leap Day marked and confined to history - Now it’s time to head home to some normality, but not before we visit a few more caches along the way... Once out of the main traffic, there was considerably less pressure on us - A quick find. Thanks marisa&kris and TFTC.

Found on our way walking out of Feilding toward bunnythorp on our TA thru-hike. TFTC!

This one was a bit tricky. Searched several likely spots so we were relieved when we finially spotted it. TFTC # 14,925
Hmm had we both looked properly in the first place we both looked we would have both spent much less time looking. Anyway, we found it in the end so at least our efforts were not in vain. Sneaky. TFTC

Found as a part of a previous group TanjackMüley, aka WanderingSparrow. Now I'm continuing on my own. TFTC
Easily found a parking space, and quickly found the cache, then the fun began to sign the log, Cache logged and replaced as found. Thanks for bringing us to this place.
Collected this one whilst collecting some of the mystery caches. signed SJ. TFTC
Another cache that Ryan was able to make short work of, my car has done so many u turns on this trip I think the tyres have worn out on one side
Found on our return journey north to Papamoa after a cache raid of the maonland. No problem with the find TFTC.
9/2019. A little tricky to spot but found. Hard to write but x marks our find
A fantastic day to be out on the road caching, especially when you making your merry way to attend a great BBQ knowing you'll be catching up with plenty of good folk from the wider Manawatu-Wanganui community.
I was on my way to fulfill a promise to climb a tree in Feilding to search for an elusive cache, but left early enough to be able to grab a few others along the route as I'm still working my way around parts of the Manawatu that I have never been caching in before.
It was a case of out-witting myself initially. Having found a very similar cache in Auckland a short while back, I had already convinced myself of where the cache would be as I was parking up nearby. So of course I wasn't finding what I was expecting and was scratching my head when a cry of "found it" came from the 6 year old accompanying me this morning.
Ahh well, the foolishness of expectations! All was fine with the container and log so once the appropriate caching administration was completed the whole lot was replaced as found and then it was back to the car to carry on towards Feilding.
Thanks for placing this cache.

If this is micro, then the micro dogs at the agility competition we are here for are Great Danes
I was in the area after spending a lovely weekend with family decided I needed an earthcache and some more caches to get my 60 points for the adventure thats on at present so did a detour and grabbed a cache or two down this lovely country road along the way. Thank you for placing a cache out here in this lovely rural area lots of sheep and their baby lambs in the paddocks, so cute. TFTC cache was a quick find and all good here. My first cache of yours I'v found I think, I look forard t getting lots more.
Quick find by the 11 year old. Road was really busy, had to be careful of the muggles
A quick find while taking the long way between Wanganui and Palmerston North. TFTC
A quick find exactly where it should be. I'm not great at writing that small, but I made some marks in the log that look like a date and name. All safe and dry. TFTC
no high pressure for this one, low pressure as i think this will be my last one for today and for my trip to feilding, tftc
