29-Oct-24
Taking my new wheels for a spin to get a couple of caches down the river path. Found this one nicely hidden but unbelieeeevably didnt have a pen, so I scratched JJ into a nice fresh log and took a pic of my proof of finding. Rehid well.

Plenty of hint candidates but with some beautiful early arvo sunshine behind me I noticed something not of the ordinary and that was that. Geohound was off for a swim soon after, I may have been tempted. Tftc!

Quickly arrive at GZ on the bike, it's funny how we haven't really cached using a bike much, will be doing a lot more of it, much easier than running!
Not trouble at GZ once the correct gerr was located...

Moved to Palmy for a few months and thought I would get a streak going. Now day 54. Well today was a challenge as it’s cold and raining. Just had an hour of daylight after work so headed to two sad faces that have been replaced since I was last here. At least I didn’t have to worry about muggles. This cache is nicely tucked away from any accidental damage by gardeners as happened previously. Thanks for the maintenance and a smiley.

Quick easy find when out walking with the kids.

I suggest this cache go into hibernation for the winter. I found what assume is the correct place. Unfortunately there was no getting the cache today, a local has bet me to it and gone to sleep.
 
19-Mar-21
Over in Palmerston North for an appointment so bought my bike to take a ride along the river, grabbing geocaches as I go.

Quick find here, log signed and left as found.

Thanks for the geocaches PJMacNZ.

Went to find this cache again with my Brownies unit, and DNF - I wonder if it has been removed with all the tree removals in the area.
 
05-Dec-20
Visiting Palmerston North for the weekend as our daughter is performing in a circus show-Ithaca. Decided to take the geohound for a 10km walk along the river to tire him out but just tired ourselves. The trees have been pruned and I wonder if the cache has gone with the clean up.

#1043. Today is day 70 of walking the Te Araroa trail and this is the 41st cache I found along the way.

It was a nice easy find and while lots of people were out today, nobody was at GZ so it was a nice easy retrieval, sign and replace.

Thanks for the cache! [Here's a link to my blog entry for the day](http://teararoa.g2.co.nz/2019/12/04/day-70-palmerston-north-north-to-palmerston-north-south/) if anyone is interested!

This was a start of a full day caching trip from New Plymouth to complete the next two souvenirs for the Mystery at the Museum. Palmerston North was the nearest and best option to get the caches we needed as we had very few left to do in Taranaki. By the end of the day, soon after sunset we had managed to complete the souvenirs. Thanks to all the CO's who gave us that opportunity.
Pleasant little walk from a previous cache with just a few muggles passing by. It didn't take long to spot the cache. Many tftc.

Out of hibernation and a road trip was in Order so the team came down from taranaki to do some detective work for the museum thanks for the stroll along the river TFTC easy find and a gem of a cache

Out on a sunny day to collect some caches, some are puzzle caches that we have solved. Sunny start to the day, set off at the park. Following the fun climbing the tree in the Linklater Pines, we went to do Fred's Walk. Now we made it to the river to collect a few more including a favourite fishing for trout.

Quick find. tftc

Called here this afternoon with Yeetrees on a bike ride along the riverside trails. This one caused me a bit of grief - the GPSr had taken me to the correct spot but I missed it. Widening the search produced nothing and it wasn't until the third or fourth check here that I spotted it. You have to be looking from the correct angle to see it, it is easy to miss! Signed log, TFTC

Having spent a great evening gaming with my son and friends, we woke to find that rather surprisingly it wasn't actually raining as the forecast had predicted it would be. So why not try to grab a cache or two before heading on back home?

We had wanted to have a go at this one last weekend but we had been foiled as we were walking along the tow path, as the heavens had decided to open up on us and we had bidden a hasty retreat back to the car! But this time we had a far more pleasant stroll towards GZ.

The Hint wouldn't have been of much use if the co-ords hadn't have been spot on, but there were absolutely no issues there so it was a quick and easy find. Unlike last Sunday, there was hardly a muggle around so we were able to have the log signed in relative peace before it was all put back together as found and replaced in it's snug little hide.

Thanks for giving us the chance to stop off somewhere new, even for just a little while Smile

Great find to start the Hidden Creatures campaign. Tftc.

I have set myself a goal to get the requirements for the mystery cache The well-rounded cacher challenge (Manawatu) So each time I go out caching weather it is by myself or with fellow cacher I will try to get a least one cache that will get me closer to my goal

Here In Palmerston North to attend Haydn.seek celebration event. I have about an hour or so to kill before the event takes place, so I decided to use that time to go and hunt for some cache along the Manawatu Riverside Walkway.

Reasonable quick find not too many choices of where it could have been, it took longer to put the cache back in place than it did to find it, due to muggle walking by and having to wait for them to disappear out of sight before putting it back

Plan to come back here later in the year to get some more of the caches that are dotted along this walkway, when I have a whole day to spend instead of just over an hour

Thanks for the cache

As the kids say "Easy peasy lemon squeezy". The hint wasn't required which is just as well because it wasn't overly helpful considering the surrounding area
