See No Evil (Otago) Karitane, South Island, New Zealand
By Heafudd on 25-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KW06

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

till we we down and check this cache

Last in the series and no luck. Searched for sometime.

Yup, saw no evil. Saw no cache either. That's three in a row, might be worth a CO check.

What a shame last in this series & couldn’t see it anywhere.

Have been out and checked our caches today.All good here!
New log

Quick find, thanks!

The poor cache-mobile is in desperate need of a good wash after this one lol. As per Tuitugger's log there was splattered mud everywhere from the one mud puddle on the entire road. Oh well, that's tomorrow's job

Being on a corner, we thought it would be better to back up the gateway out of the way, getting stuck in the only puddle seen for miles. Cache quickly found. 4wd and downhill got us out easily.

Another quick and easy find. I am very pleased I decided to travel out this way today and see a part of the country I hadn't previously visited.

Quick stop And find

díky za keš

Woke up in my stone cottage Airbnb in Ocean Grove to find that it had yet again rained overnight. But the dawn was crisp and clear so another day to look forward to with dry shoes and socks. If it carries on like this, I would have packed extra shoes and my wet weather gear for nothing. But I’m not complaining, I’m utterly sick of all the rain we have had over winter in the Manawatu.

Heading from Dunedin through the Pig Root to Alexandra for the day. Very excited, I did spend a lot of time driving this route when I lived in Oamaru and it is one of my favourite parts of the country.

Another quick find here and I’m back in the car to go to the next one. Tftc

I drove up from Dunedin to to Oamaru today on my way to attend the weekend's Geofest Event. I ventured off the main highway a number of times to explore the country byways. There was of course the odd cache to find along the way as well. All in all a very pleasant trip with some interesting places and great views along the way. Cheers and TFTC

A day on the road finding caches as we went.
We found caches in some amazing places & wonderful scenery today.
Thanks for placing this cache Heafudd

Nice

Came down from Te Puke to visit the whanau and decided to do a bit of caching with 7 kids. TFTC

A quick find today while travelling around the area picking up a few. TFTC [^]

Quick easy

Quick park and grab. This one dry. TFTC

Heading to Clyde via the Pigroot so stopped to do this series on the way. TFTC

Done , time to head back out to the main road...
I'm on a 5 day caching trip in the south island. Have a few aims - right now its to up a few specific caches that I need to complete my grid for a challenge - and find some interesting caches on the way 1800km later I can say I've accomplished my aim!

Found it!

Found it

Quite easy

I drove and parked my wife searched and signed. Team work was required.

After a museum visit in the morning and lunch, it was time for a drive. It was raining on and off at our campsite but dry on this scenic country drive. Thanks for placing your geocaches in such a nice spot.

We have a goal of finding 500 caches by the end of the year and we are close but we still have a ways to go so we decided we better get out and get a few today! Luckily the weather stayed fine while we collected up a few more smilies.

Off to a good start with this one

Found with Granville86a on a lovely weekend for a caching trip to Palmerston. Thanks for your cache placement

Found with MrandMrsChosen1978. A great day to complete the series on our way home down the coast. TFTC

new log all good

Last of the series and after saying there is no traffic on the road a car comes towards us and stops and a lady says geocaching!!!!! so after admitting we were she then asked if we had done the others and seemed happy that we had.

easy find, but tree chopped down

Great spot and a great day for some caching up the coast. It nice to get out in the sun today for a change and hoping it stays this nice for the day. TFTC

having spent a couple of days down in dunnas visiting my Prodigy KJR , it was time to head home to Geraldine so I decided to take a short detour.
time to head back to the main drag but better grab a few more first quick find tftc

Enjoying a great trip with tmann421 collecting caches along the way and getting to see some remote locations.

Another good find for us here. TFTC

Another good find while in the area with Just-Lookin.

Weather was against us today with heavy rain showers.
We found this cache quickly. SL TFTC

Quick park n grab TFTC!!

Finally getting to get all these wines been wanting to for ages tftc

TFTC be aware of traffic as tight corner

After attending dawn service decided as it was looking to be a good day to go for a short caching park and grab loop.

Cache and log in good condition

No troubles. Thanks

A lovely warm autumn day to travel along Apes road.

No. 6 - thtc

Is there any better way to spend a balmy Easter Monday than tackling a few caches on Otagos coast?? T4TC!

I found this one, a cute little container. We'd missed it first time around when the phone froze, but CJ-Curry made sure we didn't drive past it again!

Hevic and I spent the day exploring the northern part of Otago. Cache #22 of 23 was found on the way back, as we'd overshot this one first time around. Hevic beat me to it despite me having a head start - her geosenses were more switched on at the time than mine. Cheers!

A nice find and a TB to go on a adventure. TFTC

Last cache for the day, a quick find. Dropped of the trackable 'Dor'.

i've been eying this little series up for a while and today an opportunity arose when I was in the area without any muggle passengers getting impatient. A quick find.

Today, I was heading down towards Dunedin and - like on the previous days - wanted to find some caches along the way.
The virtual at Seacliff hospital sounded interesting and thus I did the 'Ape series' along the way. Having found the last remaining APE-cache in Brazil two years ago I thought this little trail sounded suitable.
I found all caches, twice I had to search for the a little bit longer.
TFTC!

"Hello? Is there anybody there?" he asks, waveing his hands about.

Cheers for the cache.

The plan was hatched a few years ago now and it has been a standing weekend away with a few of us mad keen cachers. This trip was made up of Karma Reprint, Team_Gaters and me (TheWanglers). We couldn't use a previous anagram to sign the logs as one member was in Aussie. So we had to come up with another... Hmm, KiTT? We decided on KiTT but after signing the first few logs something KR mentioned took a while for me to sink in and I didn't really take on board until the next time I signed the log. "Hey, the double 'TT' looks like Pi!". Oh, that's what KR said! So we signed the log this trip as KaTT pronounced 'Kapai'! And the trip was kapai!!! We had an epic weekend starting with a detour to Peel Forrest for a few FTFs, stopped in Omaru, thrashed Dunedin and detoured to Port Charmers for a FTF and then back to Pleasant Point and Peel Forrest to finish off the weekend with more FTFs. We got home to our families at a respectable hour after clocking up just over 1100km!
We had a few milestones we really wanted to crack. My 4000th, TG's 5000th and KR's 10,000th. We cracked my and KR's goal and got really close for TG. It really is about the numbers. This trip was awesome as it has given me some ideas
We were heading back to Chch and stopped by on a few before Oamaru. Quick find


Thanks for the cache.
#4012
Cache number 22 for todays total of 50
Cache 260 of my total of 288 for this epic trip!

Show weekend and a Road Trip to Dunedin with 'The Boys'....Karma Reprint & TheWanglers. Initially came up with the acronym KiTT but on seeing the TT looked like a Pi symbol we quickly changed to Ka(Pi) (ie. Kapai)....and a fantastic weekend it was. 3 days, 1100km, a heap of caches and great fun.
Quick find and sign on our detour north. Nice wee series on the road. Cheers.

A nice little trail on the way back to SH1, quickly found thanks.

Canterbury show weekend and time for our annual road trip to some place with plenty of boxes to find. One player short this year as PurdiePurdie got a better offer over the Tasman, (no not another MEGA).

TheWanglers, Team Gaters and I took off at 4:45am for Dunedin for a weekend of fun frivolity and finds. The plan was to get as many as we could, while still having a good old time, which we managed in abundance. Logs were generally signed kaTT, which actually should read ka pai, but I can not seem to get pi as a symbol.

A great time was had by all.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

TFTC Danoxy

Nice wee hide. Found with Geomum on a good caching day trip. TFTC

Quick find with Busy paws, thanks for bringing us down this road would never have explored it if it wasn't for caches! TFTC

This cache didn't live up to its name today - good views and I spied a cache. Last cache for the day which is a bit dumb because there's still at least another one further on but time was up to get moving and stop caching. TFTC #7172

No evil did we see, and onwards down the road we went.

Found with Moneydork on a road trip during his visit to NZ TFTC

This cache was one of 350 found on a short trip back to New Zealand, which was principally organised so that I could attend my Great Grandmother's 100th birthday.
I have a great time and enjoyed a great variety of caches, most of which were new (ie published in the past couple of years ).
Thanks for all the great caches.

Ooops! Visited the cache, retrieved the Odie geocoin, took a photo and uploaded it to the geocoin log etc, but completely forgot to log the actual cache find. So here is the log...

My 100th cache!!! Placed a Geocoin inside to celebrate TFTC, lovely chaches, lovely route! BlackHawkFinder

Careful parking not too far away. Thanks for good sensible hides CO

Enjoying the wee diversion from the highway, and the finds.

Thanks For The Cache!

getting used tot he new technology now.

TFTC Great to get out to find these caches.

Checked today and all fine, replaced log.

will check this out next week

We were on our way back up to Christcurch from Dunedin when we found this cache. Thanks!

Trees all chopped down here and a muggle working with a chainsaw on the site so didn't bother to stop.
Might need to check this one.

cache owner may want to visit this and reposition.
Cache is still there....but......
Tree is just cut down....still some slabs to remove and fence to fix (gear is there).
I hid as best i could with bark and saw dust.
Cheers

Nice meander along Apes road on shortest day of the year.

Great walk

The tree is gone but the cache is still there!! We found it under lots of sawdust. CO might like to go and look for another spot.

Had a nice trip out at Karitane with Brontosarus and Grapea! TFTC

Lovely view TFTC

On the monkey trail with the Angry Walnut and Brontosaurusnz. Number 2.

A Sunday caching drive out with the kids and a chance to have a much overdue caching binge.

TFTC!

Another successful find

17 of 63 on a days caching with ingidayna. A quick easy find and enjoyable series. This one was very well hidden and quite a mission to find, so made it slightly easier for the next person. TFTC

Seen no evil

A bit of a tight spot to spot, but cache found quickly and we were on to the next one. TFTC!!

Found this lil' fellow lying prone on the ground - not sure it should have been there, so we nestled it back safe and sound. TFTC.

Second Great Day out.... onward we go TFTC
concerns about parking on this especially when we saw the size of the trackers coming down the road (may be road is to strong a word)
