A nice quick find thanks.
Ms_KR and I are off on a wee road trip to Nelson. Today we had a great day cruising around Motueka, upper Moutere, and wherever the gps took us.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Out and about with DragonDefender for another cache-finding mission.
This one got in the way so just had to sign it off.
Cheers for the cache.

Cache names like this are sometimes misleading, but this one was definitely accurate, so a quick easy find. TFTC
GZ stuck out like a sore thumb, so no trouble finding where the cache was hidden. Left: (Sani0604) Jurassic World Geocoin TB. TFTC.
I thought I'd have the road to myself but nope it was oddly busy for some reason. This is the first time I've been up here and I made a quick find guided by the cows. Thanks Isis58.
Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to find!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on the many wet or plastic logs)
*Soon located, plenty more light rain today*

#8579. I have been over in the Nelson region for the past week, mainly up in Takaka on a work trip but managed to squeeze in some geocaching on the weekends either side and on a couple of other days. After driving back to Nelson last night and staying with a friend I had some time prior to my flight back to Wellington in the afternoon to pick up more caches in the Nelson area. This was one of them. My muggle friend has joined me on the trip today although she has geocached with me a few times now and knows what to look for.
Another easy one. Thank goodness. Always good to avoid the dreaded DNF. And true to its name the cache was found in the first place checked. The logbook was duly signed and the cache replaced where found. Thanks Isis58 for hiding it here.

Quick find here. Parked off road, quickly signed and moved on. TFTC Isis.
A day to myself for geocaching, so I decided to head over the Dovedale summit then slowly make my way to Moutere. Seemed to be a good mixture of trads and solved puzzles in this area. So I did that until I got a bit bored - RG1972 is working of course - a bit of shopping at Richmond a bit later on then attempted to make my way out of town at 4pm. Except there has been an accident on the hill, so I got stuck in a queue at Hira for 90 minutes and could not get back to Blenheim so almost had to spend another night in Brightwater. Eventually went the Tophouse way and got home after 9pm. A long day. But I had fun geocaching anyway. Thanks all COs.

Another quick snag and tag. Cheers
Its another weekend exploring Nelson and Tasman with The Seagnoid, Toby and Zara. Early start out of Blenheim getting to Nelson by 8am. Had a great weekend picking up a couple of Labs, even a new one on our way home in Havelock.

Out for a drive around Upper Moutere and Dovedale today grabbing a few caches. Managed to stay mostly dry. Sometimes you just need the easy ones. Thanks for the cache.
Queens Birthday Weekend so we are off caching for the long weekend. Todays route took us from Greymouth to Motueka via Dovedale. Yep, definitely a pretty easy one. Easy as 1 and then 23. GZ joke Thanks for the effort in placing the cache for everyone else's enjoyment.
Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache, Isis58.
Fantastic to have the double plastic bags - and great to find them both sealed !
Pottering around the countryside, collecting a few random caches, lovely autumn colours.

Messed up date recorded on log due to faulty watch date. Duh. Nice quick find. Thanks Isis58
TFTC. Up in Nelson for the long weekend. I decided to head to the Moutere area today. Lovely day to be out and about in the sunshine.
Thanks Isis58 for placing the cache in this lovely area.

The cache name says it all! TregearP and I decided to take a side road to grab a couple of caches and this one was an instant find.
All in good order, thanks for the cache

A quick park and grab for me as we had been caching in this area and now paddle chick and I are heading to Rabbit Island to get 4 quick caches before gate closes .Tftc isis58
Heading away from the event location and picking up a few stragglers along 'the route'. This was a welcome sight as it had resident TB/GCs inside, including a 'Secret' piece for that Urban Cookie cache, yay. All good here and replaced as found. Using a combo of GPS, just, and phone, when dry. T F T C I58.
Today is International Geocaching Day which means a souvenir is up for grabs- yay, though I've recently gained all those pesky Mary Hyde ones so am not short of a bit of (virtual) Geo-bling. Broke the day into 3 distinct phases; Phase 1 was the event back in Blenheim, a 0700 start, flat white and gentle Geo-chat. Phase 2 was the inevitable trip over the hill, drop the girls off at the shops and dash off and grab a 'quick' 3 caches before moving them for Phase 3 - trip to Richmond Mall for them, and a trip up the Moo Tree Valley for me, culminating in a 2nd event of the day. All ion all a successful day, though the weather was not what was advertised, there was some leakage from the sky which was not all that welcome. My current 'poorly' G P S just about coped and gave up the treasure as required, it lives on (for now!)

Caching in the area enjoying our day out and about in the sun and we couldnt just drive by this one. A quick stop and grab and another smiley joined the small collecion for today TFTC
Found I'd been holding some TB's and geocoins so this cache was first to one I've found able to take them so dropped them all off.
Still just following our noses around some caches - and starting to think about lunch (at about 2pm lol) as promised by the cache name a nice quick drive by thanks for the cache and the smiley
Found it ok. The name is bang on. We need the odd one of theses to balance out the DNF's. TFTC
Exactly as the name suggests - it was another easy one. I had been nearby this evening to find a couple of caches that are on a much busier road than this one, so while in the neighbourhood I found this as well tftc
Off on a days caching with MuzzaL53 helping him get to 2000 - well someone had to help him!! Log is a bit damp. TFTC
I remember coming here for the emergency stash, even found our name in the log book from last time!! TFTC
It was starting to feel like a mixed caching afternoon as I had made my way out this way to pick off some solved puzzles and some other caches en route.
After a few DNFs I really wanted Another Easy One, so could not let this opportunity pass.
Quickly found, helped in part by recalling its predecessor!
Thanks

Taking the long way from Blenheim to Motueka for a family gathering. Long in time too - it has taken about 6 hours so far! stopped of here for yet another reason why I take forever just to get from point A to point B. Yup! it's another easy one! Hey! I found $10 inside! Sweet!
Cycled here with the kids! Lived up to its name, swapped the hair tie for a screwless screw.
This cache was visited by one or more of the groups participating in an activity with the local Junior Youth Group. The groups were beep!, motorbooks and robots. They enjoyed the geocaching experience. TFTH .
The high muggle factor for some caches in and around Motueka made us decide to have a mini night raid. We started with a real Easy One to warm up. It had been on the radar for some time but not in the right direction for us till now. Thank you Isis58
After replacing a missing Baker's Dozen cache this was our next stop on a trip to Motueka tonight. It was too dark to see anything but I do know from memory this is lovely countryside.
Thank you Isis58.
Thank you Isis58.
This was a nice easy start to our caching today. We have a plan to end 2015. Thanks for the cache.Happy new year.
On our way to get a replacement cache for somewhere else and we picked up this convenient little cache. TFTC.
Had no problem finding this cache
Very curious muggles were watching us.

#9935. We were heading towards the Motueka Valley today, and went via the Moutere Valley "Highway" to pick up some recent caches. I looked in the right place, but should have given it a poke as that is where the cache was. TFTC.
Our destination today was the West bank of the Mot river, but we had a few park and grabs to pick up en route. This was the first stop, we parked across the road and I headed in the wrong direction as I hadn't yet sorted out my GPsr and thought that the nearby power pole was the destination . When I saw where StreetWalker was headed, I followed him and the cache was in the first place I looked. Picked up the TB to move on.
Thanks for another easy one, Isis!

Out to geocache along the Mot Valley on my way to the Skills event. This was my first of a few easy ones with a couple of trickier ones thrown in for good measure.
Thanks for the cache Isis58

I was headed for the skills event in Motueka and stopped to do a few caches along the way. This was the first one I came to. Nice and easy does it, does it every time (The Stranglers). TFTC (Biggles).
Nice One!!!!!!!!!!Easy on this one is an understatement. No worries. Stayed for awhile and watched the new born lambs just over the fence. Much fun. Thanks
Out for a Saturday afternoon drive with Nanzie. First find of the day. Isis58

When this cache was published I commented that I thought it would be as easy as 1, 2, 3. Well, yes it was - - - on 2 counts - - - though you had to be careful to read in the right direction. I was 17000 kilometres away on publication day, so I thought I'd leave the FTF for someone else , which was good because it helped with my goal of 4 caches for every calendar day - - - though I'm not going to complete that any time soon. Left a trackable that would love to visit Australia. TFTC .

Bum drove me to GZ today. We both decided that we had found this cache before and opened up the book to confirm our memories aren't quite shot yet. So, we signed it again. Another smilie never goes amiss.

So easy, even the navigator (Mr Marchwood) had no trouble
We both signed the log book again.
Thanks for another smilie.

FTF at 4.20.
We were about 15km away when we saw the notification - and it was going to be right by the road we were going to be on. So a bonus cache for us and exactly where we thought it would be as we approached.
Thanks for the cache - and for the timing.
