Time to say goodbye

Great find!

TFTC

Having just followed a week away for work and the MEGA I'm back down in the south for work and more Rep training. So of course what does the serious geocacher do when faced with being in a town that they haven't done a lot of caching, well cache of course, and this evening was to be no exception.

This was my fourth as had based myself at "The Saxton" on the edge of Saxton Park. Nice simple trad here and a pleasent walk around the park/streets and cycleways collecting caches.

Nice quick find here without any issues .
thanks for the placement , thanks for the cache

Easy find

Follow the stones. . . .

Great little cache but the lid is brolen and needs replacing. Freddykk

Log book full. Also the lid of the cache is broken.

Quick and easy while waiting for my brother to finish work. TFTC

Log book full but there's another piece of paper that should do for a while.

It's at the end of the wall! Try the other end? TFTC

Yip it was easy. But there was some glass.

We weren't/aren't streaking - probably that's a blessing for everyone, but landed on this one just the same.
Cache find was straightforward, all in order. Log signed; cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Easy but fun!

Quick find tftc

Smells like apples here yum yum.

Top cracked, great find

Quick find after picking rental car at airport. Lid broken. Surprised it's not wet.

A nice sunny day to be caching .searched for awhile finally found the cache which needs maintenance new log plus new lid. Tftc

Flying back from a long weekend in the Manawatu and the chance to grab a few caches to keep me going through the week before I head back ove the hill. Even though it was nice in Palmy today someone turned the hose on in Nelson and after a cloudy misty flight into the airport (the turbulence wasn't as bad as I thought it might be) I got back to the car and the rain started and pretty much rained on and off for a few hours. I managed a couple more Streak caches, two puzzles and some in and around the Stoke area so quite pleased to get double figures (and get drenched)
Second Streak cache in a row. I see some have been archived so I'll never get all 31 but nice to try and geta few anyway. The lid on this is cracked but the R I T R paper is safe and easily writeable (as it should be!)

A nice quick find and luckily being a Sunday no activity at the nearby premises.

TFTC

Easy find. Broken lid needs replacing.

Lid is cracked and needs replacing or to be glued.

6656. Our last full day in Nelson and a long drive home tomorrow so decided to take it easy, not go too far or do much geocaching. Ended up doing some biking and walking and found twelve caches. This was cache number six for the day. A quick and easy find in a safe spot after a very short walk from a good parking place. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Nice quick find here - enjoying caching on holiday in the area with Just-Lookin

Had another great day with some very good finds.
SL TFTC

On a geocaching holiday with tmann421 seeking out caches at the top of the South Island. Thanks to all the CO's for making this such a memorable trip.

Another good hide here.

TFTC

Quick find. Broken lid of cache. Thanks for the cache.

Another streaky one down. I seem to have been finding these for ever. TFTC

This place. Dad managed the factory over the road amany years ago (pre deviation) and my first summer job was under that canopy making sure the holes in cardboard boxes didn't have bits of cardboard left in them. Exciting times. Cache lid stuffed. Cheers

Great cache

Neat spot

Found it

A lunch time find. Nice to get out of the office thank you

This was one of the most epic weeks ever, and definitely my most epic caching week ever.

Me and mum headed up on a holiday north to Nelson and very wider surrounds. In total during the trip, we found almost 500 caches! (470 odd I think, but final results are yet to be in! ) We covered about 3000 odd km I think too. Crazy! And had our absolute best caching day ever too at 160 found. Spend 9 days travelling, caching, and having the best time ever!!

So sorry about not so epic logs, as otherwise this would probably take me the rest of my life to log, especially with two big events to organise coming up! Eeek!!

Almost every single log we signed as 'Team Polak' to avoid needing to write out both usernames taking up space on logsheet - as well as precious caching time!! Haha.

Consec caching day # 704

TFTC!!

For the sake of sanity we set off with sonia26642 for a crazy geocaching trip, aiming to cache until we drop. The main destination was Nelson and the ‘surrounding’ area, but then we ended up covering a few miles in three northernmost regions, plus a few in Canterbury. We were signing/stamping the log as 'Team Polak' or ‘TP’ for the two of us on this trip to save logbook space. We found a lot of different caches, city ones, road side, park side, up a hill and on an island, and we enjoyed every single one of them. It was good to be a professional thingfinder for a few days!

We had great fun and are grateful to all CO’s who placed caches for us to find, and help restore our sanity before returning to our other non-geocaching lives!!

Come and join us the next New Zealand geocaching MEGA event!! Register your interest now at www.nzmega2015.com to receive newsletter updates and be the first to know. It will be a great event, come and be a part of it!!

#7763. Out on the bike to catch up on a couple of caches Troodles had already found during her streak. Didn't take too long to suss out the hiding place. TFTC.

nice little spot TFTC!!!

Had looked for this one before during lunchtime a few weeks back, but passing muggles frustrated my efforts. Stopped by on the way to work this time, which was a far better time, although I still needed to pick my moment for the grab.

Time to drive home. Made a wrong turn, and this one was was right where I needed to do a U turn. Nice. Thanks for the hide.

Probably not a good idea to visit in business hours, but using the hint was able to go straight to it, and had the log written up and cache replaced in next to no time. I'm sure no-one took any notice of me.
Thanks for contributing to my streak, now 31 days and counting.

Cool container.

Good find with Smackroker, lots of muggles, TFTC!

Quick find with Contastimo. TFTC

Found it. Been here b4 but many muggles. Nothing today but the cache. TFTC

A nice quick park and grab to add to our numbers today. Thanks for the cache

Just out and about after tea tonight doing a cache or two TFTC

Found it on a run

Staying with family in Richmond whilst on Holiday (Mr G grew up here).
Parked up nearby and this was the 1st of the caches on this evenings run with Mrs G. Cheers.

just pulled in near here and someone else pulled in and didnt get out of their vehicle (next to cache).
just driving a way and they did also! round block and back again and managed it this time. TFTC

Nice quick find on Christmas Eve. Gorgeous day out for a walk around Stoke. A nice time to nab it. #8 for the day. TFTC

Thanks for taking us through a great area. http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif

Quick find last for the day. TFTC

Last one for today...now to find an EC for the 700th.
TFTC.

12875… Felt a bit exposed here..... but we were always undercover, TFTC.

A quick find by torchlight on an after-dinner walk while staying in Nelson. It was a good time of day to do it, there was absolutely nobody around. Signed log, TFTC

sweet cache

TFTC

First cache for some time and first spot I put my hand. Phew. Thanks for placing this cache.

Another quick find. TFTC

Out on the bike after a wee afternoon nap. Ah life is good. Tftc

Quick park and grab. TFTC.

A quick find after night shift. The number of times I pass here and I've never noticed the wall, TFTC.

Found in the evening after having spent the day in Wellington meeting my new grandson. Needed a quick find to keep my post streak Streak going and this one has been waiting such an occasion. TFTC

Found after a bit of ferreting around thanks. I guess the other cache that used to be in this area under the tap has gone now then. Thanks for the cache.

Found it after No-time. Easy cache, instant find Thanks.

Another smiley face , no one around 2nyt so quick find,,

A reasonably easy find with the help of the clue. GPS a bit wandery today.

Nice One!!!!!!!!!!!!Doing a bit of "Streakin' Around" before the rains came down. Much fun with my number one caching grandson. Needed a bit of rock hopping to get this one. Thanks

Fast find after House Rules, between the rain showers. Great time, with no muggles. Tftc.

Yes sometime in August and forgot to log it,. Thanks

Nice and quiet on a Saturday night round here!! Thanks for another great cache in this series!! Cheers

Brilliant for a wet arvo tftc

Quick grab between the showers

found in the rain
good one
thank you for the cache

Not streaking in any particular order but another one ticked off TFTC

#994

We decided to leave this one for an evening find due to the muggle factor here so we stopped by on our way past tonight and signed the log. Today is the mid point in the Streak and thanks to this CO and others it has been an easy run so far. TFTC.

Funny how sometimes you can think that a spot is perfect for a cache and within hours there's a notification. The find was strategic for the muggle factor and to keep the streak at full steam ahead. TFTC

A bit behind in the streak series numbers and certainly out of order. However this one was perfectly placed for the drive to work find and day 15 of my streak.
Thanks Eder-Ents for placing this cache.

#7208

Oh you mean there!!! Cache found, log signed, cache returned, streak continues!!! Thanks!!!!

I was streaking off to a friends place to get her laptop working for her and this was on the way. Great to have all these new hides so close to home.
TFTC

Mmmmm...A pattern is developing, got the 9th on the 14th. TFTC

One of those caches where you just have to go for it despite the passing traffic! TFTC

Quite a busy street traffic wise even today but a good quick find. TFTC

Got our streak caches all out of numerical order - but finding them in distance from home order as we headed for Wakefield. Which made number nine number two. SoBad barely needed to turn the engine off here as Mrs Sobad had an immediate find (good coords thanks) before he could get out of the car.
Thanks. Now on to the one she couldn't find last time hoping for three out of three from number seven on the 10th.

Needed to be patient waiting for a break between the stream of traffic. A quick dash and grab and then a relaxed signing of the log in the car. Another dash and stash to return the cache. TFTC

(Day 9 ) popped in and grab this one as it was on my way home after night shift, my first of the Streak series....

Joint ftf with ricklc

Ha! An "FTF" of a different kind for me here today - fourth to find Spotted this one had been published overnight when I got up this morning so headed off to see what state it was in. A good spot for it, familiar from a cache that I forgot had been archived. TFTC, Biggles.

Quick find with bullertrout.

Oh no, a DNF!! With no hint i was a bit lost.. will have to return tonight when less muggles around

Added a hint, because this one was meant to be very quick to find.

Found no worries...before hint added I see.

thanks

Wow what an amateur i am needing a hint !! Got it this time, problem was i was focusing on the wrong end! Also much easier at night with no muggle truckers across the road watching me. Our streak is still alive, TFTC!!

Decided on this one for my 9th streak attempt - nice to be spoilt for choices which was a bit unexpected before this whole thing got underway. Found with no problems before the hint was added. TFTC #4973
