On our way to Reefton. Filling in a few gaps in our smilies. TFTC

Thanks for another quick stop

Quick find today as we head around Buller grabbing the geo Tour caches placed up here. TFTC

Stopped here on our drive today to pick up the nearby geo tour caches. Enjoying a great trip along the west coast thanks for the cache.

Today we were out on a maintenance run out to Nelson Creek to check all the cards then up to Ikamatua and home via Taylorville Rd on a miserable rainy day. While we were passing we stopped to check on this one aswell (seems it was placed with us in mind ) We replaced the damp book and gave it a new container so its just like brand new again. All good here again. Happy Caching

On a mad mission today to complete one Challenge cache and fulfill part 11 of 12 for another. 580km later, missions accomplished.
A fine sentiment for a cache and a quick find and sign.

Quick find.

Quick find. Bag in cache quite wet, log damp. Cheers

Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to find!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on the many wet or plastic logs)
Weather today was unsettled with rain at times.

*We soon had another good cache located, log pretty wet!*

Nice to be away on another geocaching trip with tmann421, travelling to a few places in the upper South Island.
All logs signed tm/ww NZ

Quick easy find. TFTC

Very random, tyftc

Yes that was quick, tftc ️

Great find with blunsdon. Thank you for the cache

Too wet and soggy to sign. With crickethawea

Could not log as too wet.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ on our first post COVID-19 lock down weekend away. The forecast for the West Coast this Queens Birthday weekend is sun, sun, and more sun so that's where we are heading .
Stopped by this cache as we headed to Blackball. Nice views from GZ and cache was quickly located. Log book is wet, but managed to sign our names. TFTC.

#18178. The road was quiet so we crossed to the other side to get to the parking area, and stopped right next to the cache. Troodles did the finding before I had a chance to get out. TFTC.

Had a great day travling from the West Coast back to Oamaru, 3 days of great weather, many thanks for the caches. - Bitsprayer

Found on a three day caching journey over to the West Coast. We really enjoyed the challenging hours spent in solving the many puzzle caches and now the signing off on the log books. We had a great spell of weather as we traveled along the many roads in the area. Many thanks to the various cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches. TFTC

After an awesome 4 days tramping the heaphy track and 2 days in westport with some underworld rafting thrown in (and some caches) it was time to head home to geraldine grabbing more along the way..
Got the boys finding while i drive nice quick find tftc

Found floating once rock distrubed, dried out as much as we could, logbook dry. Signed and returned. Pul ova 2 txt, was today's message

TFHC!

found on our way to Greymouth, I agree lets not rush to eternity
thank you Ariestigerfor the cache

QUick find with no.13 when travelling from Nelson to Greymouth. TFTC

On the road for a trip down the West Coast with our little caravan to explore this part of the country. It is not a caching expedition as such, but we do manage to stop for one or two
Our travels lead us to your cache, as we travelled down the Coast, many thanks, Ariestiger, for bringing us here. We’ve had great fun so far and look forward to finding a couple more caches as we travel on our way. TFTC.

Epic day trip to the Coast with K C N; having found "Under the Goalpost" and filled a DT hole for both of us, we were heading down to the nearby Earthcache and stopped here on the way.
Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache, Ariestiger.

Kotuku-SI and I certainly were not trying to rush eternity but we did find it on a fairly quiet very hot and sunny day on the Coast. Thanks for placing.

After having had lunch at Blackville and not being able to look for the caches there I was pleased to find and sign this one. Slowly creeping up to 1000 finds. TFTC

Out on both sides of the river today doing abit of a maintenance run.
We stopped here to check on this one for the CO and surprisingly it was missing!
We replaced it with the same type of container in the same place.
All good to go here again. Happy Caching

A quick find while on a coastal caching trip with SJT_NZ, all in good order

A quick find with Tregearp whilst in the area for the nearby power trail and a side trip to Blackball for some sausages and salami.

All in good order, signed log and replaced as found. Thanks Ariestiger for the cache.

This was to be BaldEd's last day with me as he was heading back home at lunchtime so we ventured out towards Blackball locating and signing the odd puzzle and multi on the way.

Cheers for the cache.

After Tufty had ticked Blackball's "Under the Goalposts" off his bucket list we stopped by on the way back to Stillwater to make this quick P & G. Thanks for placing the cache Ariestiger.

Finished the work in Blackball so now its time to pick up some caches on the way back to Greymouth. TFTC

Picking up a few caches in the area that didn't involve to much walking after wearing myself out on the Croesus track before heading home. Thanks Ariestiger

Out doing maintenance on the other side of the river so afterwards we came over this side and Mum maintained this for Areistiger. New log and baggie. The container was dirty but fine. All good to go again.

Found very wet container. Water poured out. Cleaned as best I could. Log book very damp buy able to write name - just.

Wondering what this cache would bring us to but soon it was all so obvious, Approached the structure and soon spotted a possible hide and i was right. Quickly grabbed and signed and heade on with our journey.

A nice quick park and grab - done in no haste or hurry in fact 2 very relaxed fat ducks were sitting by the rivers edge and completely ignored us Thanks for the cache

A quick find on the way past. Thanks.

We always obey the Road speed signs,except when we're in a hurry to get to the next Cache..TFTH

Definitely not going to do that. Quick find. TFTC.

An easy find here. TFTC

A quicky

A quick park and grab. TFTC

They are working on the Carpark could be buried soon. Lovely view.

I was fortunate enough to be able to squeeze an 11 day holiday out of two leave days!! I headed out west to find some caches, see some sights, and relax before the madness of the semester hits. The weather was unbelievably good, only a bit of a storm over Arthur's Pass on the first day, otherwise hot and sunny. I found a great variety of caches, drive by's, walks, hikes, even a power trail. Thank you to all the CO's for their great hides!!!
Today was to be a big day, and it started early, too. I was out on the road with the break of dawn, aiming to get a few, and a couple more The main plan was to attack the cards, but I managed to get in a good variety today! Last one for the day, after dark, making up a total of 75/76. TFTC!!!

Great views from here Tftc

Race between two of us to get to this first!!! Just had an icecream at BLackball after being good samaritans and finding a tourist's gold ring!!!

SmsRenwick saw it but I got to it first loved where you put it but did not like the sight.

Read the message and still do not understand why people keep speeding. Had a lot of people on our tail and despite not going slow ourselves got overtaken more than once. This was the last find of a very successful caching day. TFTC

Another Quick easy find, thanks

.. a quick and easy find which was good the rain was now pouring down! TFTC

Mum & Grace kindly did maintenance for this while they were out this way. Thanks

Log soaking wet, unable to sign

Drove over from Christchurch yesterday, staying in Greymouth for a couple of nights. Today I got up to Ikamatua along the state highway, then the return trip via the back roads on the other side of the river, caching all the way. TFTC (2191)

[green] Drove down Friday night for a three day wages to petrol extravaganza. Doing the Blenheim - Greytown - Westport Blenheim loop. Drove to Reefton Friday night so I could grab some empty log books early this morning. That done its on with the main mission. An awesome three day experience, only about 30 caches per day, but two badge upgrades, wekas, seals and penguins, an awesome coast road and coastal walk. Wonderful.
Taking the back road into Greytown, if this road can be called the back road .
Great view of the river plain. The photo does not do it justice.

On an epic caching mission with Shannonp1 through Reefton to Greymouth over the Lewis Pass, cacheing in Greymouth then returning to Rangiora via Arthurs Pass over two days. Final count for the weekend was over 200 caches. A quick easy find on our way past.

On an epic caching mission with Surveybase to North canterbury, Waipara, Culverdon, Springs Junction, Reefton, Greymouth, Arthurs Pass and back to Rangiora over two days. Final count for the weekend was Saturday 124 caches, Sunday 80 caches. not a bad weekends work. sorry for the cut and paste but it would take forever to log them all.

Found this one while on vacation away from my home in Whangamata. TFTC

Easy find tftc

Liked the name so an easy find.

A brief stop on the way home again after a weekend in the area. There was a surprising amount of traffic along this road today so we had to exercise discretion. Thank you Ariestiger.

Returning home from Greymouth we decided to stay on "the other side" of the river till Ikimatua and do some caches on the way. We didn't rush it but still had a quick find. Thank you Ariestiger for placing this cache.

quick find on my way north. tftc

Found on our return trip from Blackball after showing Chelzea Under The Goal Posts. Was not what I expected as I had not even read cache description so took marginally longer than it needed too. TFTC

Found on our way back to CHCH with Sevren.tftc

TFTC! Found while on a trip to Blackball to complete caches there

Ftf replacement. Tftc. Might have date wrong as it's minutes out of midnight. Nice random.

! came out and placed a new logbook. The canvas has been changed so doesnt match the cache name anymore but I was told that they just rotate the canvases - so it may come back. I will add a pic to the cache page.

Log damp. Had a ptoblem to sign
Tflv

Found a very soggy logbook- dried as best we could. TFTC

Quick find but log book needs replacing. Tftc!

Quick drive by. Cache and log book very wet. TFTC

Yeah. My sentiments exactly. Too many caches to find!!!!

Easy find. Log very damp but just writable.

Yes I'd prefer not to thanks. TFTC #5999

I had been wanting to come over caching to Greymouth for a while, since I had never yet been caching further than the West Coast CANZ cache!!
Spur of the moment, a trip was planned, and I decided to head off on Friday after work. However realised we had monthly after work drinks! Ah, stayed for that then, and then left.

I was driving quite slow actually - stopping at too many caches!!

Consec caching day # 503

TFTC!!
