Quickly found with ivss_xx. Weve done a few districts today!

16:18FITW ObnoxiousSpaceCatAn easily missable feature indeed! We didn't even really see it until we were out of the car and crossing the road!It was then when OSC realised what the cache name stands for. I had not had that revelation yet.I was quickly on to the cache after we concluded it's not on the object itself.Kia ora! Paldies! Thanks for the cache, BrownscacheDiversBCD!#11375

We are away in camper with our cat Coco and exploring. Walked to this cache which is a lovely welcome. Thanks for this cache BrownscacheDiversBCD

A nicely planted out spot. Cache didn't take too long to find.

We are on our summer holiday, travelling around the South Island with no particular destination in mind, when I suggested to GK that we spend a bit of time trying to find a couple of Thompsons Track caches that I had missed when I was in the area a couple of years ago, he was obliging. So with those three now turned from blue to yellow smilies, I suggested we go and finish the series.
Now that that series is done we kept driving along the road to see where we would end up. We stopped for most of the caches we passed.
GK had this one found and signed before I even had my shoes on.
Thanks for the cache and thank you for the smiley

Camping at Peel Forest but needed some supplies and decided on a drive into Geraldine and of course a couple of caches. Quick find, thanks BrownscacheDiversBCD

I stopped to grab this cache on my way to the Orari bridge where I was going to follow the G.M.B.T. geotrail downstream.

Great day out caching in the area, lot of neat caches, and interesting spots, needed 43 more caches to hit the 10000 finds mark think I got 62 for the day trip. Many Thanks Bitsprayer.

A bit of recent rain around here made for a wet hunt and then for some reason I missed it in plain sight and spent a while longer hunting around. Oh, there it is, doh and doneski. Cheers

After a mission at nearby Lake Clearwater with BCD it was time to head home with a quick stop here along the way. Had a wander around a couple of times before finding and CO informed it was not in the right place so quickly returned to where it was meant to be and off we go. TFTC

couldn't see this one to start but got there in the end tftc

I found a yellow smiling face, and now I am logging a yellow smiling face . TFTC BrownscacheDiversBCD.

After attending the Oamaru Geofeast we are now heading back to Christcurch. Caching with Di Morgan and grabbing a few caches along the way.

We found caches in some amazing places, travelled along some great country roads.
Thanks for placing this cache BrownscacheDiversBCD

Monday. Slow Puncture has teamed up with Orange Crew to make a Moreton Bay assault on the Oamaru Geofest. Day Four saw us travel from Oamaru back to Christchurch, with a couple of loop diversions on the way out to the West.

This was the 26th of 37 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***BrownscacheDiversBCD***, for showing us this place.

1st of our 6 Day Adventure down to Oamaru for [Oamaru Geofest 2017](https://coord.info/GC6M2V0).
We found our vert first TDWY 5 years ago, but not this one (almost to the date - yesterday's date) when we were heading to Dunedin for the 1st NZ Mega. An easy find here although we had to go around the back to be able to see it. Gotta be careful with the lid as it now pops off and I dropped it between the rocks. (Got a little scratched getting it back) There was also abit of water in the container which we emptied and dried. Now we have to go and make checkin. 27/40 caches for the day and 250 for our trip. Thanks for placing the cache and adding to our smilies

Success with this one although not another in the series. Yes, we would have missed the sign if wre hadn't stopped.
Thanks.

TFTC.

Smiling!

Found it coordinates weren't a bit right though in a good place though

We've driven past here many times but today we had time to stop and find the cache.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Nearly did not see the sign.

Found it! Did this one on my own while Camping in our camper for the night at the close by stop. Thanks

Added a few bits to make you smile as well

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 this one while on a holiday from our home in Whangamata. TFTC

Day 2 at Mt Peel. Having had enough physical exercise, tramping to both the Emily & Rata Falls during the morning, it was time to utilise the cachemobile for the afternoon's caching activity. Decided to visit this cache whilst I didn't have the caravan hitched on the back. Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache BCD.

Did a stopover in my bike tour of the south island, now sunny and nice. Stayed at the holiday park at Mt Somers, going south. TFTC.

Found on way to Peel forest for the night

Really quick find whilst out caching with Geomum007 & Busy Paws on a lovely afternoon.
TFTC!

No probs getting the smiley for this one. Found with Geomum007 and Geojessie on a good day caching. TFTC

Day # 7 in New Zealand on a geocaching holiday-trip covering Thailand, Australia and finally my beloved NZ .
I had so much looked forward to return to this beautiful country, and now I'm here again - awesome!
Today's tour took me from Timaru via Alpine Roads to Arthurs Pass.

The weather was brilliant throughout the trip – although very strong winds . The landscape was sensational [^] and scenic spots invited for a photo-stop or a little rest - or a little cache ....
Needless to say, that along the route quite a lot of little treasures were waiting to be discovered .

Ended up in rainy and chilly [B)] Arthurs Pass - but rewarded with 30 Finds - a good days work [^] !

This nice little cutie was an easy find . Just had to look below you.
What a nice area at the scenic route! [^]

Hey - Canterbury and Southern Alps- you have awesome caches [^] !
A big thanks [:X] to all Owners involved [^] for hiding and maintaining .
Cheers from Germany

Tftc

Very easy to spot cache so tried to hide as best as we could. TFTC.

Yep could very well have missed it

Nice and quick

Time for one more on my way home
Thanks

A quick find this morning. The cache was a bit more exposed than I would have been happy with, I hope it lasts. Signed log, TFTC

A quick stop of to grab this one. found after a short search. On a 11 day caching trip around the south island. Log signed as b&p.Tftc BrownscacheDiversBCD. Find # 3564

Thanks to co never knew this sign was here out cacheing with Creek Rd girls and salvation army thanks

Quick find

Another great find for the day. Sun shining and great location for a cache

Day #2 of our Labour Weekend trip to Geraldine and today StreetWalker and I wanted to visit Peel Forest and do some of the walks in the area. Unfortunately, the day started out very misty so a slight change of plans saw us drive up the Rangitata Gorge Rd in the morning before tackling the walks about midday when the mist lifted.
This was the first cache of the day and wasn't an instant find. My GPSr was off song and had me quite distance from where SW eventually found the cache - in the obvious location. The sign isn't easily seen - we had passed it yesterday without noticing it. TFTC.

#13271. There wasn't much traffic on the road, so we figured it was a good time to stop and look for this cache. We made hard work of the search. but I eventually spotted the cache in a place where it should have been easy to see. TFTC.

Found on 22/10/2016.

Off to the South Island Orienteering Champs at Castle Hill.
Takuing the opportunity to grab a load of caches along the way.

Our second TDWY find this morning. Took a bit of roaming around but it was eventually found. A pity that locations like this are too often littered with rubbish, TFTC.

A quick find on the way home. Thanks.

Cache 20 of 27 today.
We went out for a bit of a drive on a cloudy/rainy day to give Al some new things to photograph. Plenty of Roads travelled that we would usually drive straight past.
Drove straight past, did a quick U-turn and still missed it as can only see it from one direction. Nice easy find, although very busy road so be careful.

Tftc

Finding on dusk so had my torch out. Walked around and around. Was about to give up. A little bit to much cover. Tftc

This is the second day of my two-day trip from Invercargill to Christchurch, grabbing a few caches on the way. A wet start to the day at Omarama, but improved as the day went on. A quick find, signed log and returned as found. Thanks for the cache.

Last find in this campervan trip.

I now know how this caches got its'name!
Thanks
