No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

This cache is no longer available and the owner appears to be inactive.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

We couldn't spot this one today, but on a mission so only looked for a short time.

A quick stop off, but no luck here today.

# **Not currently in location,** will get it returned to CO and get them to write a log note when back in place for finding again. #

Found this cache many many km's from its home, sitting high on a stone wall in Lyttleton !! Have emailed CO to try and arrange for it to be taken back and placed in its proper location. **WARNING: Until then, it is safe with me. But not where it should be !!**

Cache had been moved as council cleaned up the area and dumped the cache in a prickle bush. New coordinates are as follows.

Found. But ruined jeans and felt like I'd been attacked by vicious dinosaurs. The cache area is overgrown with blackberry. Cache was in the open but about 3m in from blackberry edge. No sign of any stump. Looks like a dozer has pushed debris up in the area where gz was. In the interests of saving shredded legs, clothes and arms I have moved it east about 5m to base of tree. Photo taken and will email to cache owner.

No luck here. Think it has walkabout.

More detail later.

I suspect this one's been muggled. We looked high and low and at every stump we could find without any joy. I could see plenty of muggle activity in the area, including a fire close to GZ, and considering the previous activities logged I'd say she's a goner.

Not having much luck here!

Was in the area and called past to grab this one. Quick easy find as it was in the open. Gave it a covering before I left. Thanks for the hide.

Found it

As I was signing the log, I relised that I had already done this cache months ago but failed to log it , so I signed the log again and now finally logging it lol. TFTC

The lid has a large crack so I placed the box on its side to minimise water entry. Did not put it lid side down as then water lies in the seal area. Thanks.

What a lot of dinosaurs. We didn't take any as we didn't have anything to replace them with.

Nice easy find and a great day out. TFTH

I hope brother Colin spotted this one.

Out with the Dunedin caching crew.DCC. TFTC!

A little bit of twilight caching during the Mega with the DCC

full day of the Mega long weekend we (Dunedin Caching Crew - DCC) hit the road and went for a drive to log as many caches as we could.

A quick find and we were on our way again. Found as part of the Dunedin Caching Crew (DCC)

Nice hide

Out walking with a Dunedin mega mob.

Found with DCC.

Walked passed it then came back and found it. Thanks.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

For us it was Rangers Everywhere. Why do they come out on a Sunday? At least we managed to put the cache back before he turned up too close. Quick find, TFTC

Found tftc

Kids would love this one. Tftc

Didn't see any dinosaurs but turned up the cache. TFTC.

Easy find

Was pretty exposed so quick find

velocoraptor used to be cool now has feathers. made famous in Jurassic park.

Quick find.

A fairly painless find, although the gps didn't appreciate the tree cover. Tftc.

I needed my cache for the day, but traffic was soon to pick up. So I didn't exactly want to tackle that. Something slightly further away from town on the way home sounded a bit better.

Decided that this looked like a good one. It didn't involve any intense bush bashing in the cold and wind, and it was early enough that I could still get a right turn back onto Marshlands road in!!

I came along, but far out this was much significantly harder than it needed to be!
There were so many fallen pine needles that I couldn't see where the hint items were, and it pretty much involved puling the whole forrest floor apart!!

In the end I was rewarded not too far from the coords though - yay!!

Consec caching day #941

After a morning of damp grayness the sky cleared enough to encourage me to get on my bike and head south over the Waimakariri Bridge to seek out this cache. Happy to report that new coords were just what this cacher needed. No troubles this time. Thanks for the cache Caitie.

Was raining by the time we got out here, but not a worry with the trees. Geodog loved a sniff around the forest while we signed the log. TFTC

The reason the Tyrannosaurus rex was so angry...

TFTC (2003)

Superbly presented little cache and not a difficult find. Didn't even take the keys out of the car. Did you know that Dinosaurs were the precursors of birds, and creatures such a T-Rex might have been covered in feathers or hair. Well done and Thanks.

This was a fun cache to find. I love the effort made to keep it in theme. Make sure you take some swag swaps to do with dinosaurs if you find this one.
Sadly I didn't have any swaps so I took nothing and left nothing.
Do you know that a T Rex would have found it tricky to open that cache. It is such a ridiculous shape with it's great big head, feet, arms and tail. It's little arms look out of place. Thank goodness dinosaurs are no longer around.

Not sure what has happened at Kianga but a Property has been taped off,and there were a number of Police keeping guard on the Corner!!
But I digress.We could see the Dinosaurs as we approached,and have left them safely tucked away,a wee bit deeper..TNLN..TFTH

Let the Monday Night Madness commence. The plan was to head ou the South Head to grab the letterbox and the few along the way. We had a look a the tides and everything seemed alright. TG came and picked me up and there was lightning to the north and the south. Hmm. We headed out and hopped onto the bikes at Spencer Beach. The tide was up a bit higher than expected. The riding was hard as the sand was soft and heading into a strong wind. The sand was moving over the beach which was interesting with only our bike lights. We did turn around and it was the right move. We had to walk the last 1.6km as the tide was too high and sand too soft. Great fun though.
We got a notification of a new cache published and decided to grab this one and the one nearby before we decided to head to Rollerston. I hadn't loaded the updated coords and was looking in the wrong place. I was glad TG had the right coords. We made a quick find after that. More lightening too.

Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with TheWanglers on a mad monday night mission. We'd biked halfway along SouthHead on the beach and grabbed the couple caches there before turning back. We then drove out this way to have a bash at this cache and the other nearby one. We started searching in the wrong place before I noticed the updated co-ords...with those in hand we soon found the cache. Cheers.

Noticed a few of the entries say co-ords are out. I've now fixed this. sorry for the inconvenience.

Got to GZ only to find the most likely hiding place completely destroyed - either by a trail bike or a malicious cache destroyer? Searched other similar objects within 10 m without success. I fear that this cache is no more.

After 2ins of walking around we eventually found it. Coordinates were a bit out. Tftc

With a dozen new caches published this morning, I figured I'd try to grab a FTF or two, seeing the usual FTF hounds would hopefully be on the other side of town! Got to GZ pretty quickly, and it was deserted which was a good sign. Didn't take too long to find the cache, and I opened the logbook and signed for a FTF at 8:55am.
I have no particular favourite dinosaur, but the T-Rex had teeth that were nearly 25 cm long!

Q: What does Triceratops sit on?
A: Its Tricera-bottom!

Thanks for the cache

Took a bit of looking and walking in circles before CuddleBunnie located this one. Luckily the dinos all seemed to be plant eaters.

A lovely sunny afternoon for a drive. Bugzptr had seen these caches published earlier in the day so we decided to go find them. A wonderful spot for a cache, not sure i would came in the dark, took a bit of hunting before i had cache in hand, bugzptr was over looking in a different direction, the co-ordinates seem to be a bit out. TFTC

The only Dinosaurs we saw were 2 crazy motor cyclists racing round the trees. Spent some time looking and noticed that others had been before us. After going in ever increasing circles we had decided to give it a miss and go home . Then to our surprise there was a flash of something and P found it. The co-ords seemed a bit out. Never mind it adds to the game. TFTC
