A road sign has been placed over the hint numbers but the last few digits were visible and the coords look fairly accurate so the hunt began. Unfortunately unless the natural camo was blackberry this one has gone. Thanks anyway hill149c.

No luck but we can be blonde... however given the number of dnf's am wondering if it's been muggled.

Had a day of geocaching with Nahkins. I had worked out what roads 12 caches were on. Had to miss one out as when we got there a cycle race was on at GZ. Got 9 smiles and 2 DNF. It was quite windy but the sun did shine. #8. Oh dear our first DNF. Sad We spent a lot of time walking up and down and crossing the road several times. I found something but it had nothing in it. I messaged the owner hoping they will check it. The previous geocacher didn't find it either.

Had a day of geocaching with NZPatoto, who did the driving. Total of 12 caches were on. Had to miss one out as when we got there a cycle race was on at GZ. Got 9 smiles and 2 DNF. It was quite windy but the sun did shine. #8. the first DNF. NZPatoto asked should she park in the shade, I said 'Nah, we won't be that long', Little did I know. Basically what NZPatoto logs said. We looked, we crossed, and recrossed, dug, searched and came up empty handed. Got back to a hot car. TFTC. Big Grin

Couldn't find cache... We suspect that plant growth has totally hidden it, given that the last time it was discovered was two months ago.
 
Found but no pen sorry :L

The presence of NZBirder has led to me being able to log a few caches in locations that felt too public for me on my own. We were no doubt still suspicious-looking but at least I had back-up. Thanks for the cache.

Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.



Today our trip continued from Tauranga to Hamilton. Of course with some caching on the way. We had lots of fun and saw many nice places and caches. Thanks for the cache!



Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

17th day on our geo-roadtrip in New Zealand, and caching our way towards north. Logged using our group nickname FIN with janahola, laalaa and kapeka. After having a blast in South Island and in Christchurch Mega event, we had to start heading back home. Fortunately we still had few days left to spend in NZ while driving to Auckland.

The first day of winter today and snow on the ranges at home showing a white cap and a slight chill in the air. Another road trip too, need to go North via Horopito and National Park to get another two caravan wheels. Also chasing a few more unique minutes of N Z, getting ever closer to the magical 400 mark, might get there within this month dfingers crossed. Also got my eye on a couple of letterbox hybrid caches in Hamilton and finally there's a chance to extend my consecutive months F T F streak to 7 as there's a new cache just up the orad from home. Phew, what a day. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Been so busy working on the swede's cache that was recently published at I almost forgot to collect my cache for the streak that Im on. Had to duck out to this one as it was nice and close and i hoped that It would be a quick find. Luckily I was right on both accounts and I was heading back home before it was to late. Thanks for placing the cache and keeping my streak going.

Your cache was visited by a streaker #27

With my sister leaving town earlier than expected and another contact MIA I had the whole of the geocached Waikato ahead of me this morning. I decided to head to Cambridge as I always liked the (horses) area and it has one of the few shops that I truly enjoy. After a terrible start to my day with a DNF and two couldn't looks, I was very happy my luck changed. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC hill149c
