Cache has gone

After completing the Rotorua Tough Guys & Girls Challenge in the weekend and then having to drive south for work on sunday this was going to be one of those very long weeks. After having completed a series of presentations yesterday today was going to be a simple one, training the Local Rep in the morning before heading back home hopefully in a lot better conditions than wha tI drove down here in on Sunday.

Finally a chance to grab the last few caches while on the way home am fortunate enough for Mrs Dragon to be getting home late tonight so a chance to grab a few more before making the made dash north. I had noted that the number of caches around this town had increased since I was last here so may as well collect a few smilies before I leave the rest can be collected next time I'm down here.
Called in here and the log was mush in the base of the cache container sorry as i know you ahve just replaced it. I have photo proof if you require.
Thanks for the placement and the fun

Found during night walk.. Found top then found bottom on ground ... Log a little wet but now 2 peaces back together TFTC

need to fix this one

As previously noted by LetsGoLooking the cache is missing... with only the top of the cache remaining there is no log to sign.

Wandering around Feilding grabbing a few caches as I go. Got to GZ and spotted the cache fairly quickly but could not sign the log as all that was remaining of the bison tube was the top, still attached.

Thanks for the placement Setucrust.

Have replaced log

Just as well I have a long reach! Spotted it straight away. TFTC

A quick find at GZ..all secure..TFTC!

definitely not for the vertically challenged tftc.

we had to muggles to pass before looking for this one. TFTC

We had to wait for nearby muggles to pass on their way to find mushrooms in the park. Once the coast was clear it was a nice quick find, even for this vertically challenged cacher. Found with purply and darthcacher1.

Nice little hide. Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice hide. Log book full but found some space. TFTC

Log book is full great find

Clever hide. Logbook full, TFTC

Nice hide, felt a bit foolish standing there looking for it but got there in the end! Log full so I've attached a photo to prove I was there.

Log is full so needs replacing. Many thanks

Found it a little bit too easily so rehid it a bit better. Log is full so needs replacing. TFTC

Easy grab. The log is now full and needs replacing. Tftc.

Easy find log full

High five

Gee! A muggle busy zone lolz. After looking all over we finally got it. Yeehah the jedi crew strikes. TFTC

Felt quite uncomfortable completing this one, nevertheless the job had to be done! TFTC, #6915

Quick find on a sunny spring day TFTC.

Yay! Good hiding spot. Nice day for it too

First find ever for me and my two daughters, lots of fun.

Our 2nd find on the night. I like this Game.

Did not know this park even existed and lived in Feilding for years. Quick find.

Found by mini and mrs z whilst over visiting the grandparents. We werent sure if the nearby residents would notice us as they seemed to be concentrating on fixing their car so we went ahead. Found after a short search, managed to retrieve the log okay but had a bit more of a Challenge getting it back together! TFTC

Spotted by curtis1915 wile I was still looking at the gps working out which way to go.

Spotted from a few meters away. cool hide

Many thanks for the nicely hidden cache at Rimu Park.

A quick park and grab for this one.
Thanks.

A quick find, with markhnz, although a little fiddly to open and close. TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Another good find.

tucked away nicely

Came here on a weekend trip to the Manawatu. Found quickly although I felt a bit exposed at GZ - fortunately there were very few people around. Signed log, TFTC

Tommygun9 found this one while I was still putting TG9 Jr into the pram. TFTC

Took a couple of searches but it was found soon enough.
Found with Atoms7.

Tftc

Thanks for the cache!

Lovely park easy find many thanks

Nice an easy. 21/1/2014

Found on 16-1-14 with insanitynz TFTC

Mrs RiffRaff lived her entire life in Feilding until marrying the handsome Mr RiffRaff and moving to Wangas and NEVER went to this park, so really can understand the cache description saying its not really used. Felt very exposed but spotted quickly and Mr RiffRaffs longer arms reached it easily but vertically challenged Mrs RiffRaff might have struggled. LOL. TFTC

thought I may have been to short and was considering flagging this one but was pleased to find it an easy reach for me tftf

Easy find on a nice sunny day. Flew a kite with geokids in the park. TFTC!

Tftc. Easy find.

Had to stretch a bit for this one, TFTC

A nice spot to visit after dinner, nice weather tonight

TFTC

Morning stretches complete. Found at 0706hrs. TFTC

Spotted the cache as we drove up. Fortunately, no muggle issue's here today. TFTC

the fence helped the vertically challenged! quick find even if we parked at wrong entrance to park. thanks

Out and about caching in the Manawatu, a quick find.

Thanks for the cache SetuCurst

#6634. We managed to outlast the muggle, and as soon as she went inside we swooped on the cache. TFTC.

We parked right by GZ and had a quick look at the neighbouring houses. Darn, a woman was sitting on her front doorstep, smoking and worse, was looking at us. We pretended to read our cell phones while waiting, wondering if we should just give up without leaving the car, when she suddenly finished her cigarette and disappeared. Yay, action stations. TFTC.

easy find as I am tall - TFTC

This cache was a lot simpler than I initially thought. I hope the people across the road know about the cache as this cache is pretty difficult to complete without looking too obvious.

TFTC

Good easy find - fairly open location. SL TFTC

A quick find but definitely not a cache for the vertically challenged.
Found together with MJMNZ whilst on a drive in the country with elderly mother.

A day spent geocaching with JonoS to complete some of the new caches around Feilding. Found a couple of puzzle caches and seven traditional caches and 2 did not finds which was frustrating as spent the most time on them.
Glad that my fellow cacher was taller than me.
TFTC

Another dot day and another Feilding cache, only 3 left to find now
Thanks for bringing me to this surprisingly large stretch of park
TFTC

Beautiful park and sneaky little spot for it. Tftc!

Quickly spotted, walking up to the site. TFTC.

Plenty of room here, although the grass could do with some mowing. No problem with the find but a tad frustrating to put it all back together.

TFTC

I had actually checked out this park for a cache of my own. But I guess I wasn't fast enough. Park was empty today which resulted in a quick find. TFTC

Had passed by GZ earlier but there were muggles in the playground and where we suspected the cache was hidden was too exposed to attempt. Returned after doing a couple of other caches and had the place to ourselves. Went straight to the hide and were soon on our way, only to bump into Seagnoid and friends cycling towards this very same cache. TFTC SetuCurst.

A surprise 'extra' cache this arvo, when I thought we were all done for the day. The Seagnoid let us know he was nearby, so it was a 'why not?' moment for a pleasant bike ride. Miss Swaybars chose to come along at the last minute and it was good practice for her cycle skills. I would have had trouble spotting this on my own, being a bit on the short side. We have found this park before - it's such an under used area - like they intended Feilding to expand out this way and it didn't. TFTC

[green] After placing a whole bunch of caches along the walkway between Ashhurst and Palmy with Etherlord, I set off to Feilding to continue my streak. Rag up Swaybars69. Then I swaybars and little miss 9 biked down to Rimu park, with its distinct lack of Rimu. Found the cache easily enough, hope that all the houses opposite know about it!
Streak now 99 days long. Off to the Jewel of the Manawatu tomorrow, then the overnight bus to Auckland, where continuing the streak is suddenly a lot easier!! Yay!!

Found it, awesome find, , I live across the road in Lethbridge St where I grew up and this park used to be farmland, they decided to make it a park years ago, and there used to be sports played there but does not seem to be played there anymore which is a shame so its pretty much just a park for dog walking and kids to play in.

Really easy find....was annoying trying to put it back though!

A straightforward find, but realise we put 19th on the log - getting ahead of ourselves a bit! Wonder why it's called Rimu Park - didn't notice any rimu. TFTC

Quickly had cache in hand. Had a quick look around massive park area that we dont hear much about. Good area for walking the dog

9.31 - Call from the lounge from Mr 2Wombles - "New Cache, 10 miles away (16 k's) - do you want to go??" Then two more!! Let's go!! This was the last of the three FTF's for tonight at 10.18 PM, with Mr 2Wombles. Thanks SetuCurst for these new caches.

FTF with popmac. More later
