By gracie7 + Mum on 19-Jul-15. Waypoint GC5ZKK1

Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.

Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.

Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!
Liebe Grüße von Lærry

I found this cache as a member of the team LaMaLaMa (now: Mr_Lama).
Since the team unfortunately split up, I am re-logging with my new account Lærry.

I hope you will understand.
Furthermore I thank you for hiding the many great caches!
Of course I will leave a favo to each cache where the original account did it. If I forget a cache, you are welcome to write to me.

Best wishes, Lærry

Mum had a Lion meeting in Rangiora and she stopped on the way passed to check on this one and its gone again so we decided to Archive it. We have had a few unsuccessful attempt here since the tree was chopped down and no matter how much downsizing we did - sadly caches dont last long here.

Couldn’t find anything.

L’arbre a été coupé

Nothing there.

No luck with this one - too bad!

Unsere Castle Hill Tour war nur toll: was für eine Kulisse; Riesen Steine und Zwerge von Menschen, ein magischer Ort. Trotz vieler Muggel gut gefunden.

A quick easy find as we started our walk around this unique area. TFTC

Straight forward find on our way out. Great spot and have enjoyed our wander around. TFTC

Cool cache, good place. Watch for muggles

Tftc very fun. Still there despite recent excavation / landscaping

Fun challenge to not let the muggles see.

Description talks about GPS interference from a large tree. That’s not a problem any more! Lots of muggles here - had to be a bit sneaky. TFTC!

Great hide so close to everyone but so hidden.

Found it but had to be careful as there were lots of muggles around. Signed and rehidden

Nice easy park an grab beware of lots of foot traffic here as its a popular tourist destination!

Awesome Geocache, nicely hidden. Thanks!!

Tftc. Castle Hill is a magical place

Actually I hadn't this giant rock on my list but I saw it from the road, so I stopped here for a little walk. Found some geocaches aswell. TFTC!

Quick find while on our way to hike up to hike. Unfortunately lots, of muggles wanted on the stump to take photos so we had to wait to put it back.
Thanks for the fun, gracie7 + Mum!

Amazing stones

Surprised the muggles leave this one alone. Pretty hidden though. Tftc!

Full to come

Easy find - Best regards from the Radio Luna Team

A quick find between muggles. There is a Lincoln uni event on today at the car park. Tjanks for the hide.

Amazing area! Great walk about.

KL6 and I are in NZ for 16 days or so exploring the South Island mostly by campervan—with a few shoulder days in BnBs. We plan to visit the Fjordland first—Milford Sound—and the back track and head all the up the Punakaki Pancake Rocks vía the west coast, stopping by Franz Joseph along the way. Then back down to the lakes, Tekapo, Punaki, Mt Cook, and then Wanaka. Finally we’ll return back to Queenstown after our huge campervan adventure. Lastly back to Australia for a couple nights before heading back home to the USA.

Obviously, we stopped by this cache along the way. We originally had about 171 caches on the list to be near and check out. Whether due to favorites, or a planned stop for the evening. We have planned the adventure using cachetur.no which is amazing by the way. Highly recommend the website and app when you’ve got a lot to see and find. Helps keep you on track and it’s awesome to have a schedule with time estimates of when you’ll arrive at the next destination and if you’re ahead or behind schedule.

Thanks to gracie7 + Mum for the Cache! Found around 9:45 AM - I often sign as Wæki3 (shorthand for Wæki3_KL6 due to small logs and or KL6 not being with me for the cache find). This is Find #2193.
We have also contributed a lot of caches in the Flagstaff Arizona area, and currently to date we’ve hidden 85 caches. Even if you’re not in the area, I’m really into creating interesting and creative puzzles. I have some clever ones—many to do with logic, math, graphic design, or games. Checkout my certitudes page for a collection of many of the Unknown (Mystery) caches I’ve created (https://www.certitudes.org/feed?u=W%C3%A6ki3_KL6). Perhaps after a few solves, you’ll find yourself in the area.

A fast find at the killed one. TFTC

Lots of muggles today so we spent some time admiring the field next door and wondering what was being grown there! Thanks for cache!

Quick find on our way to see the stones. Didn’t get a chance to find any more caches due to grandparent duties! Greetings from Ireland!! TFTC

Q E F here and a bantam sized Chelsea container.

Onto the trail proper now, it's caching all the way for lots of park n grabs and a couple of modest walks.

It's the last full day of the trip and I intended to make the most of the day and was up with the lark, cockerel more like, and in the car at 0530 ready to get going. I called in for an early brekkie and hit the road early to meet Ricardinho.nz at Springfield. We cached our way back to the West Coast via road barriers and others en route and I set off for home after leaving him in Greymouth after visiting all 8 of the TMGT caches there. Home at 7PM and a decent haul of over 80 caches, including 5 Earthcaches. Awesome scenery and views and a cracker day of weather too. 620KMS for the day travelled and time for a rest!

It's that time of year again when Marlborough residents get a double bubble, two 3-day weekends in a row and a chance to get out there and find some caches. Last weekend I headed over to Golden Bay with ricardinho and we managed a healthy numbers-boosting haul of 82 over 2 days. This weekend I'm planning on finding some already solved Canterbury caches and get me closer to a 5 figure finds number, the big 10,000. At the start of toSaturday this was a 4 day, at the end it was a 120 plus day!!

The Saturday was planned to be a big day and to get over 100 caches in a day if possible and start converting those puzzle pieces into smiley faces. Success was achieved in that we found over 120 each. I personally found my missing Smurfs, Metal Mania, Glossary of Geocaching as well as a number of other solves and collateral Traditionals. The Canterbury weather turned it on and a good day was had with ric.nz driving and me navigating (sort of)
The Sunday was a Geo-art loose ends day. My plan wqas to track down the remaining Smurfs, round up some horses and grab a couple of loose Eclipse mint tins. I also explored the realms of Springfield in preparation for a return across SH73 on Monday.

Last day of the long weekend and a long drive back to Blenheim via Greymouth (yep, that’s right) with the goal of getting a whole heap of ‘bridge the gap’ caches and anything else easily accessible or interesting.
With a lot of kms to travel, there was not room for much more unfortunately.
So a successful trip but the real heroes were the weather and the scenery.
I had forgotten a bit how stunning it can be in and around places like Castle Hill and Arthur’s Pass, and a great spring day with snow-capped mountains for a backdrop made a bit of a self-inflicted slog actually quite enjoyable.
Thanks all COs, and sorry for the cut and paste, but I hope you can understand why. All logs signed Cap/ricnz or variations on the theme.

On our way to greymouth ,a nice place to stretch the legs.

Found it, Thank you

Amazing place!

Stopped here and amired the view while a bunch of tourists were standing behind us... sneakily retrieved the cache and signed before returning and walking away...

Easy find on our way from exploring Castle Hill and climbing around the rocks. TFTC!

Found together with rramaT whilst traveling around New Zealand. TFTC!

Tight find between packs of muggles

We are sitting on MissAllysa during the last week of the School Holidays so we are taking her over to ChCh for a couple of days and stopping to do some maintenance checks along the way. Allysa recently got her own account so was happy to find & sign the log at each stop. It is a little more exposed now but with limited options we will leave it here and see how it goes. All good here - for now atleast. Happy Caching

Nana and Aunty Grace are taking me to Christchurch and we are finding some caches on the way. They let me find this one because they already knew where it was supposed to be, then I could sign my own name. We didnt have Jaxson so I only signed lma.

Still there but very exposed now tree has been chopped down.

Great view

Tftc

Very easy to find, beautiful location

Found with the fam!

Found at 3:08 pm while on a week's break in Christchurch. Will expand log when we get back home (as well as answers to questions, qualifying caches, photos, etc.).

After making it back to the car after walking up to the rocks and back, I found that I had a little bit of cell signal and saw that there were other caches around here (I only had a solved puzzled stored on my phone), and that we had passed a few of them. Oh well, this was close so I wandered back down the trail to quickly make the find. All good here. TFTC

Had a spare day while visiting Canterbury, so came up to Castle Hill to grab some caches - and to enjoy Castle Hill in the snow. The snow and cold meant there weren't many muggles around for once!
Another very quick find.

Found this one on my way to Lake Tekapo.
Unfortunatly arrived with me a major group of people so waited and waited and waited until everyone was in good distance. Then grapped the Cache pretty fast and back in.
