The hint is extremely clear. As there was no cache in the one location matching the hint, and with a third DNF now we suspect that the cache - last found 7 months ago - is missing.
Sad to say I looked here, I looked there, not sure if it was a senior moment or blind as a bat moment but no luck for me this time. 
Just had to come visit ABBA while in the vicinity. Left our calling card . Cheers
Its a long weekend in Christchurch, with The Seagnoid, Zara and Toby, and Star Gazing on the radar. Unfortunately clouds put paid to seeing stars but great event meeting up with the locals. Enjoyed visiting Halswell Quarry, Lincoln, Port Hills and running around after the Smurf family. Cool, fine days and NO rain made for an awesome weekend. Will be back again soon.

What is a ABBA cache? I get the impression we are not actually talking about a Swedish pop group. Speaking of which, ABBA was the first album my kid sister owned. She loved them!
Came down on Thursday night with Taybeedragon for a three day geocaching trip and to collect a rare cache type - so rare that this will be the first ever for me - a 10-Year Celebration Event cache (now rejigged as Community Celebration Events). But that, with some adventure labs and Halswell Quarry, was a couple of days ago. Yesterday we smurfed a bunch of caches, and today we are off to check out Lincoln (and another adventure lab) then head home at about lunch time.

We are at level 2 so geocaching is permitted.

Due to the government ordered Covid-19 lockdown, I will be doing my bit to #slowthespread. From 11.59pm on Wednesday 25 March 2020.
The virus can survive on plastic and paper for longer than three days
If you would like a geocaching related activity to do while you are observing the lockdown, I welcome messages about how to solve my puzzle caches - I am happy to give hints and tutorials so you have lots of new caches to find when this is over.

In Christchurch for the weekend and found this on my way to Lincoln on a wee detour before heading home TFTC
Had a site visit to make in Lincoln so combined it with lunch to make a few finds out that way. A quick easy find was made. Thanks to all the CO's for the effort of placing and maintaining the caches.
Perfect timing for a beautiful day after two days of horrible weather when I was stuck inside at a conference! I bit on the chilly side in the morning, but the temperatures certainly improved as the day went on. I used to love ABBA!!! TFTC!!
#3,514: SOS Smiley!
I came to this one after a nice time at The Laboratory with my family, and the Nor'west Brass band. Very yummy beers! Found in good shape.
May the 4th be with you!

I had a collection of cassettes and I think there was some ABBA in the compilation tapes "Best songs from 80s" or something like that. But those tapes were technically my parents'. But the first music album I actually bought I think was a [Shadow Zone CD by Static-X](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C1732/) and I did that in 2008. There are not many CDs I have actually bought. But the last one was a digital version of this 5 days ago - [
Korpulentrijs by Simons Krasts](https://tornis.bandcamp.com/album/korpulentrijs) for whopping 0.50Eur.
Stopped by the cache quickly after the Creation Celebration today. CHiquititita telll me yourrr name!

Hmmm let me see, Joan Baez, Carole King or Cat Stevens. I had a Buffy Saint Marie album early on to. I quickly learned not to play it when my dad was in the house. I think it was the only music he ever expressed an opinion on. Later maybe one ABBA album. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for placing this cache Nosynel

.Biking past so thought it would be a quick find. It sort of was, but I made it more difficult than it needed to be. TFTC
This was a pretty quick find today. Interestingly there were 3 scraps of paper inside. One the ubiquitous "Smelly Toes" note (git), one blank, and one with names. The most recent name belonging to Kiwi864, not the most recent online "finder".

Perfect day to be out in the country logging some caches. Soon had this one done and dusted. Tftc
Cheers for quick find back from the hint object. Lots of traffic. Otherwise quiet day with clear skies and no wind. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. BJ25.
Interesting. Found the container. Plastic bag inside but no log. Didn't have any spare paper to put in. Maybe the next person can? I'll take the claim though. Cheers
7531. A beautiful day in Christchurch so we decided to go for lunch in Lincoln and fit in a few cache finds. This was cache find number seventeen of seventeen for the day, with no DNFs! Thanks. Rodney and Iris.
Stopped the night in Rolleston and today we are winding our way back to Christchurch. A glorious day and ready for some quick and easy finds to boost numbers. We hoping to get to CHCH to do some Wherigos but having looked them us we decided they would eat up time too much on this trip. Gonna grab the Virtual in central CHCH though. Thanks to all who placed these caches along the way. Love the fact its easy to pull off and park. Surprised the country roads are as busy as they are. Wish we could have stay a couple of weeks and not just four days. We will return!
Quick and easy find. TFTC

StreetWalker and I are trying to surpass 3,000 finds for the year, so we decided to have a Sunday excursion to the Leeston / Southbridge / Ellesmere where there werequite a few unfound caches. With 28 caches found today, we now have less than 100 finds to make in the next 13 days. So we might just do it 
.
For some reason or other, we have either never driven down this section of road since this cache was placed, or maybe we have been in too much of a hurry, so today was the day to turn the icon into a smile. We were a little worried about the mammoth hedge, but with the aid of the hint, it was a quick find. SW manfully crawled in to retrieve it.
Don't think I have ever owned an ABBA album, as I am not that much into music. TFTC.

#13510. It was about time we stopped to look for this cache. Had to watch out for eye/head gouging branches getting to the cache (I managed to pickup a couple of scratches). TFTC.
Found when running home from a cache further up the road, was really keen to swap for the cool iron man trinket but no pockets. Thanks for the hide
Decided there was too many muggles in lincoln to grab some of the town ones so we headed out of there to grab a few out along here before heading home. tftc nice hide. found with chiko1
Enjoying holidaying down South with tmann421 and some more wet weather today.
A nice quick find for us. TFTC

No problem finding this one. Early morning, the traffic sure is busy along Springs Road at this time, TFTC.
Last day of the mega trip and not that much time for caching, still always time for just a few.

Good find road quite busy as always quickly signed log and went on down the road for a coffee stop TFTC
Quick duck n grab once I got to the right spot. Tftc.
The first cd I bought was probably bic runga's debut album drive

My first ABBA album was bought in 1975 I think, can't remember which one but I remember being very happy when I was given a photocopy of the signatures from one of their songbooks. Those were the days! TFTC
An unexpected day off work due to plumbing issues, so decided to head this way to make a few finds. Thanks for the cache. Kinda only one place this cache could be.
As we headed to Lincoln for a cache hunt via scooters we made this our first grab
People DO wonder what you are doing darting in/out of roadside bushes, going in - fine. Coming out, cyclist. Never mind, got it, TFTC 
My first album was Abbey Road, The Beatles! Quick find today, road quite busy! TFTC
On the way home from a successful FTF raid and stopped by this one as I haven't grabbed this one yet. I pulled up to GZ and made a quick find. Boy the old hayfever is tickling a bit.
Thanks for the cache.
