By Scottlisatamara on 10-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4WR8G

A beautiful day in Alex today a gentle breeze and quite hot, still a little snow on the hills, but nothing serious.... so I bet you wish you were here now . Cache in perfect condition and ready for the next finder

Quick roadside stop here to get this cache. Luckily I spotted it just meters from the car and was able to jump out and quickly sign the log before putting it back as found.Thanks for the cache

The next leg of rattll and my South Island road trip, whatever number this one is. Today, we're starting in Middlemarch, heading up to Ranfurly, then coming back down the Manuherikia River to Alexandra.After our morning cycle, time to hit the road. We've discovered that one of our indicator lights on the van has stopped working, nowhere to get it fixed before Alex, so no time to dawdle (except for some caches, of course).Finally reached Alexandra. Still time for one more cache! A quick find at GZ. All good. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

We are slowly winding our way towards Alexandra and enjoying stopping to pick up caches along the way.A straight forward find, without any issues. Thanks for putting this here

#774On our way to Dunedin after staying the night at a hotel down the road. We set out caching this morning in NZ.

Had to widen the search area, clue made perfect sense when I did find the cache. TFTC

Staying at the holiday park for a couple of nights. Choo Choo

Had to look for this one

It’s been years since I’ve stayed in Alex. But tonight I am, just not here.

A quick find. All good with the cache. thanks

We found it! Look for some rocks!!!

Yes found it.

One of those where the hint makes sense after you find it.

Removed lollies to dispose of. Should not put these in caches.

TFTC

Thanks For the Find!

Out for a bike ride and had a spare few minutes so came a little further out of town to find this one on a beautiful day. TFTC

Quick stop while having our turn on a central holiday!
Thanks

Nice easy find

Found

I'm driving logistics support for a bunch of crazies on a 4 day cycle tour (average 110km/day, no e-bikes!), which gives me time for a few geocaches.

Nice quick find here thanks

Back in Alexandra from Roxburgh for another appointment so I'm ready to sign off a few more caches.

Saw the obvious GZ.

Cheers for the cache.

Thank you!

Insanely easy very weird clue and bad cords found by accident when dad turned around to think

Nice quick find as I headed out of town.

Found in less than a second.

Yay

While I was getting my phone out, the 6 year old walked straight for it! Nice easy find thanks

Thanks not many sealable things for the kids mostly bottle tops

Given the distance from our cabin in the 'other' Holiday Park, I thought that this would be a short walk. So, having set out I had to continue, back to the entrance and then along a hot road to GZ. Easy find once there, although not sure about the hint -- maybe I am just thick.

TNLN. TFTC.

We are out and about in the area finding some caches and enjoying exploring and revisiting other areas again.
Thank you Scottlisatamara.

We're hunting Tour caches and anything that's not slowing down our objective to much. Today is the opposite. Just one Tour Cache in the area but we take what's on offer without bikes and within our capabilities. We found the cache as advertised and in good order. Thank you Scottlisatamara

Got bit wet looking for this one
A duh moment once I found it.
All secure. Tftc

Nice, good find easy spot

Took a while to find but great entertainment!

Quick park and grab on the way home after an early Christmas weekend with family. Tftc

On a nice day in Alex to get this one. Nice quick park and grab.
Found with annielin.
Tftc

I think the hint is a bit confusing but still easy to find. TFTC

Thanks found it. We grew up here so nice to come back with the kids to hunt in our old back yard

Nice easy find

We somehow made this much harder to find than we needed too. A friendly reminder and there it was.

A little bit of help with directions found by P&Vee.

Found on the way to meet up with a friend. Jude_E and I spent last night in Arrowtown and are planning on finding the fruit series, doing the lab cache and other geocaches in the Cromwell area. It is our final full day on this Otago Road trip.. Thanks Scottlisatamara for creating this hide. It was find 8749 for me.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

On a 7 day caching trip with Nosynel. Seventh day on the road focusing on caches in Cromwell. Drove through to Alex to meet a friend so finding a few before we meet. Tftc.

FOUND IT SUPER EASY AND VERY COOL!!!

Lovely day for a lock down bike ride and some sneaky geocaching

What a nice story for a Cache. Thanks for the Cache

We were staying in the establishment across the road, so a quick walk from our perfered Alex accommodation provider for an easy find.

Cheers and thanks,
S.t.

Quick find on a family Sunday drive, TFTC

Quick find with the family on a day trip to Alexandra, TFTC

Spent the day as part of support crew for Frame Family’s husband and friends. In between rest spots we were able to geocache. Hoping for a number of finds.

First one of the day. Quick stop. Tftc

Caching on the rail trail with Kerynz and being support crew while the boys are doing the whole track in one day! My first cache of 26 for the day. Easy park and grab. TFTC.

A nice quick find today. Cheers.

And now it is time to head home. Today we started from Alexandra, and travelled through the Pig Root. Once we hit SH 1 No caching! (As there re none left)

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Nice quick park and grab once worked out the hint. tftc

Checked around a few bushes then found the sneaky hide behind something that looked out of place tftc

????

Nice easy find while on a short stay at the garden court. Left TB that I have held on to for way to long

Been geocatching this morning on the rail trail 2.45 and I think I need some lunch.
Got the hint once I found it. That’s lack of food for you.

Great find, thanks

Jammed my thumb in the van at work so a few extra days off work so back up this way for a few more days and some more caching. This was a nice and easy to find TFTC

Our 100th find home to celebrate

StreetWalker and I stopped for this cache was we drove into Alexandra. The car behind us didn't seem to want to slow down despite being well past to 50km sign, so I indicated well before I needed to stop as didn't want to be rear-ended by a speeding driver.
I liked the old building a little bit further down the road and wondered if this was the holiday home , but no, the GPSr took us to a more traditional one. A quick find. TFTC.
