A quick png. I found this cache during a Mum Taxi service.

Unfortunately they had to abandon their trip an a few hours into the walk due to sickness.
Two of my children are walking the Routeburne. So I offered my services for drop off at the Glenorchy end and am picking them up at the TeAnau end. I invited Jude_E along for company, so we'll be taking a few detours along the way.
Thanks for hiding this cache chosen1978 I appreciate it.

Thursday 5 November. Wintons wherigo is on the radar today also visited Foresthill. Time to go exploring Toby!

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

#4099. Day 2 of the southern adventure. Have flown south to attend a conference at Te Anau over Queens Birthday weekend and we stopped for the night in Invercargill. Plan is to do some caching on the days before and after the conference. Enjoyed taking in the ocean scenery from Bluff Hill. Now heading north to Te Anau. Parked the car and headed off to find the cache. Nice quick and easy find but lots of cars driving along this road. Soon had the log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for hiding it here chosen1978.
