Archived.

found with 2pac oconnor

Same relic

Contrary to the previous log, none of the caches in this series have been archived.

A quick park and grab, cache all good. Interesting reading, thank you for the history lesson. Alas your suggestion of finding in sequence I think I have found a few not in sequence.. and have missed out on the others which have been archived. tftc

Cool railway relic nearby that I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for your cache description.
Stopped here on the way back to Dunedin from an excursion at Outram. TFTC.

2nd cache found on 2 1 21, between every 2nd rain drop.

Fun wee spot. Met a bumble bee and a brown skink!

Thanks for the cache

Quick find; TFTC

Another ticked off in this series. Quickly found. Tftc

Easy find

Very busy main road, cool find

Cool wee find didn’t have a pen though

Nice cache! Exciting!!!

TFTC - on a trip to Dunedin for childminding over school holidays. Had a spare hour or two for some previously unfound caches.

Easy find tftc

quick find tftc

Talk about an intersection. This crossing certainly is a lot busier than one might anticipate.
All is well with the cache. Thank you.

Back in place with a fresh logsheet (although the original sheet wasn't as damp as recent logs suggested. I could still write on it perfectly OK).

Pulled in for maintenance. Back soon.

A early morning start again as I need to go to Dunedin for little training and feld work. that's twice this week.
So with coffee in a travel cup I set off .
Not to much traffic today at this early hr but as I got closer the traffic was heavier.
With the training course done it was time to put it in to practice.
With what I learnt making sense in the real world it was time to head back to the work shop.
I managed to get the driver to stop so I could grab this one .
Did my best to find a dry ish place to sing log with not munch luck .
Now to head for home it's going to be a long day .

Thanks for the hide

To wet to write on

Today we found Ghost Railways: Outram (3) (Otago) on our travels. A quick find on our way out of Dunedin heading to an oldie at Sutton lake. A quick find.
Thanks U.N.C.L.E. for being part of our geocaching fun.

Quick find, very busy road TFTC

Super quick stop find and sign here on my way back to the airport. TFTC

For my personal challenge of working towards getting my calendar on GC.COM to be at least the same shade of green or darker I need to sign off at least 12 caches today. I won't grumble if I find one or two more. I Had parked my snail shell up at the Showgrounds in Mosgiel.

I thought I saw a Ghost Train today.

Cheers for the cache.

Zusammen mit apaspa die Cache Tour von Dunedin nach Wanaka gemacht. Dachten nicht, das wir den auf Anhieb schnappen würden. TFTC

On our 5th day in New Zealand we travelled from Dunedin to Wanaka. One of our goals was to get the old cache at Sutton Lake in between.
This was our first quick stop. After a look around all was clear and the log book in our hands and signed. TFTC and greetings from Switzerland

#6072. Its my third trip to Dunedin in 2 weeks. Haven't been here for several years and suddenly the flood gates have opened as I have come down to do a series of workshops. Decided to stay on until Saturday afternoon to give me a chance to do some caches on Friday night and again on Saturday morning. After picking up a rental car at the airport I headed off to grab a few rural caches. Quick find here on a complicated and rather busy intersection. The sun has set and the light is fading fast. But soon spied the cache. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found. Thanks for hiding it here U.N.C.L.E.

Last one of the evening. Off home to look at the area on satellite maps. TFTC

Quick easy find

After two DNFs in Mosgiel, this one came real easy. Signed the log and continued cautiously on the icy highway towards Sutton Lake.

TFTC!
#6062

Now I know what a bison tube is!

This was a easy one to find.

Up for a concert, thought be good time to find some caches in the area. TFTC.

Me and my dad went for a look and found it and had a lot of fun

Another nice find while out caching with my family

Great easy find thanks

Busy rd

Great spot for a hide. Thanks

Tiny geocache

Me and Dad found it

That is so tiny thanks... G.H.O.S.T

Thanks for another one! Co-ords are accurate.

Hard

Out and about with kjr on a mission nice quick find why so much paper in such a small container

One step across and little one soon in hand to SL. TFTC

Proliferation of Bisons in these parts. So Shiny. Caching in the old stomping grounds visiting the inlaw from another life. Found the cache after stepping across and SL, adding some RITR slips seeing as the muggle sheet is ¼ full. *The logsheet of last resort.* TFTC

Taking the long way home from the Geofest. Through Danseys Pass and down SH 87 to Mosgiel for the night, before my flight home tomorrow morning. What a great drive, some of the scenery was just amazing. Cheers and TFTC

Visiting from Brisbane with Slow Puncture for the Oamaru Geofest, and we're seeing all the wonderful sights the South Island has to offer as we travel along. Day 3: We left Oamaru and headed down along the coast to Dunedin before heading inland to Middlemarch and then looping back to Oamaru.

Thanks for the hunt **U.N.C.L.E.**, this find makes #4293. Discover our TB

Sunday. Slow Puncture has teamed up with Orange Crew to make a Moreton Bay assault on the Oamaru Geofest. Day Three saw us travel from Oamaru to Dunedin and return.

This was the 10th of 37 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***U.N.C.L.E.***, for showing us this place.

Nice easy find

Found with Kerynz, TFTC!

Second last find of the morning with Frame Family. Beside a busy road but cache quickly found and signed. Tftc.

Feely easy find... busy road tho.. lots of muggles. ...

New container in place and cache ready to go again. Container type is different and hiding place changed although it is only about one metre from original so will not update co-ords. Cache page has been edited to reflect the changes.

Checked today and container is gone, presumably washed away in the flooding. Plenty of evidence that water has flowed deep and fast through here. Cache will be replaced in a way that hopefully won't be affected by future flood events. Will be up and running in a week or two.

This cache has almost certainly been affected by the flooding on the Taieri. Will disable and do a maintenance check as soon as possible.

Busy spot but nice

Quick park and grab on an excursion to the Taieri. TFTC

found it

Done, prickly!
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 with CJ-Curry on our day out in Outram. Cheers!

E dopo la caccia storica degli ultimi due giorni oggi decidiamo per una giornata tranquilla
TFTC

Thanks for an easy find. TFTC.

Doesn't need a clue if you read the message

Found with Hevic on our way back from Outram. Another easy find - this time it was my turn. No dramas at all as the cache was a little revealed - tucked it in where it was but a touch further in. Interesting little piece of history too, though probably more up Hevic's alley than mine. Cheers!

Nice quick P&G after visiting in Outram. Quite a busy road so had to wait for cars to pass by first. TFTC

Greetings from Northern California USA.
Day 906 of nonstop caching. Three quarters of the way down to the cache on our walk Mr d says 'do you have your pen?' Well. Guess what. No. So, as I've done in the past. I improvise. Did a pretty good job if I must say so myself. Left the 'pen' in the cache. Tfth dictaham and clan

Really hard to reach but just got it in the nic of time

After a bit of the day it was great to head out this evening, enjoy the lovely weather and get some caches. Working slowly towards my 2000 for news years (last years resolution - might make it).

Thanks for the cache which was in good condition.

found

Easy find. Quite busy but cache soon in hand. TFTC

Easy find

A few of these funny gateway things around here, usually with caches in them. Cheers

Quite a lot of traffic in these here parts...especially on a soggy(ish) Sunday! TFTC.

I have found a few of these railway caches now. Thanks for the information

Another in series, nice part of the country, watch out for the police though of these long straight stretches.

Dried out and replacement log. All good.

My first find today making my way home after attending a funeral. After a few cold weeks it's nice that things are warming up. I'm loving the lengthening days as well. Thanks

Thanks! Water has got in - I've emptied it out and given it a wipe, but the log has taken a hit.

Forgot the pen- again! Thanks for the clues, we wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Thanks easy find went out with my neighbors

No pen to write in found it though. Took jasper for another walk. Tnln tftc

It was frosty. I came at it from the wrong 'side'. I waded through thigh-high frozen grass. **I was wearing shorts [xx(]** What a fun day!

Another one in this little series done a couple to go then on to the multi to complete it. It been great to learn a bit of the local history. TFTC

Quick find! Chiara and Toni

Enjoying holidaying in the area with tmann421.

The second of this series on our trip up to the cricket. A very quick park and grab with a nice little background story behind it. We are looking forward to trying to get all 6 in the coming weeks. Found with a couple of new catcher’s. hannah&ted and poison-dart. The kids have decided they don’t need me.(except for taxi work) Thanks for the cache, R-H’s

Another family find on the way to cricket today. We had to jump across a ditch for this one and I almost got wet feet. A nice quick find for us, looking with poison-dart and roaming -hayward. Log book nice and dry, thanks for the cache, h&t

Headed down south with C&D and 11HPG11 for the CHCH Mega as part of the HOAC team, and decided that a Mega road trip/Mega Mission was the right thing to do. We landed in CHCH late Friday night and after picking up the rental car we bee-lined it straight to Dunedin to grab a few hours sleep before the mission truly started.

The goal for today was to locate a certain few geocaches which help for certain challenges that we are all currently working on, and to explore some pretty cool country, before getting to tomorrows starting point in Omarama. We thoroughly enjoyed this day of the mission and saw some pretty awesome places, and managed to achieve most of what we wanted. A big thanks to everyone for placing all the caches, and I apologize in advance for the copy and past logs!

What a Mega Mission for a group of Hamilton Over Achievers! A great trip, a long time in the planning. I teamed up with Cats&Dragons and HKCB to grab a couple of caches while in Christchurch and surrounding areas for the 2015 Mega Event. We flew out from Auckland on Friday night and traveled to Dunedin in the dark of the night. Stopped for a few hours sleep before setting off to grab caches in the Otago area on Saturday before attempting a few more on Sunday and then arriving at the Mega on the Monday. An amazing, yet crazy road trip that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

A quick find here, neat to see some railway relics from another era.
