Removed form action.

'One moe' before heading to awaken the night shift fella. This one was a return trip to here, the other has been archived I guess. Great hide type and worth an F P, nice one. T F T C H-H.

A new day dawns in a town where I haven't cached for ages, plenty of scope for a successful day, plus we have to stay out of the house as daughters partner is sleeping off nights. That can mean only 1 thing, a caching day or as my daughter called it a visit as a tourist in her own town. Grabbed a few today, some goodies yet again and Wanganui continues to set the bar high for cache construction and innovation, nice one you lot.

After swimming in the Splash pool we found this one. Tftc Sprunghörnchen

In Whanganui for the afternoon, had time to find some caches. Good hide. Thanks for the cache Hermitz-Hyjynx.

TFTC wisoka from Germany

Spent most of the day inside the stadium playing volleyball at the NZ masters. Took the opportunity between games to venture out and grab this cache... I also gave my attention to a piece of machinery... but soon realised where I needed to be looking...
Had to squeeze my details on to the log as it is full and I did not have my caching swag with me to replace it... thanks for the cache

Took the RiffRaff out for a trip to pick up some stragglers - we spent some time on this beastie and narrowed down where we thought it was but couldn't get access. Took a photo and messaged CO who has graciously allowed us to log a find. Pity we couldn't get to do the whole series. We had a brief look at one of the others and it looked like great fun. (sigh) TFTC

WE especially came to Wanganui today to get some caches and get our numbers up as not much left around our area for us anymore unless you love puzzles. It was a nice walk to ground zero wasn't long before Mr Watcache found the cache signed the log and placed it back exactly where he found it. Thank you for placing a cache in a beautiful area a few people playing in the area always nice to see. now to get another cache. wanganui has a few still for us to get. TFTC

FINALLY! In Wanganui for a work event and had to pop down town for a few extra bits and Push'n East decided it was time I had another quick look at this one. She had previously found it but my hubby and I had a DNF in amongst a sea of smileys after spending at least half an hour here ages ago. Funny how you can look and look and look and then go back another time and there is it - much to the amusement of by colleague! Glad to finally have a smiley face on this one. TFTC. I shall give this a favourite!

This cache will need a new log.

Well hidden TFTC

Decided to have a look for this one after having found the Springvale Shenanigans cache nearby. I was looking somewhere else for a while but once I reread the hint it became a bit more obvious where it was. Such a neat cache definitely well hidden. TFTC

A quick dash and clever hide. Forgot to grab the clue so will have another quick trip! TFTC!

We is the geocache is it in that hole where the fan is because the birds might of taken it

First placed i checked...too bad i didnt check properly and searched othe things lol...glad their was something to stand on with my shortness tftc

Quick find my Mr Bee. Cool hiding place. Tftc

ok straight off the bat gets a fav point from us this is why I love coming here, caching here is so much fun with all the effort that goes into the cache for people like us to find, no muggles around took a few mins to find with hubby doing the spotting - got the code placed back and now on our way before we do get muggled - thanks for the placement

Cool find

Very cool! TFTC

Excellent tftc

Awsome find took a bit of thinking but very clever spot

Some tree cutting happening here and cant find anything today

Last find for the day. Found while taking a walk from adjacent freedom camping park-up for the night. Another great RRR cache. TFTC

Third find for the day, with second half of the TMNT Multi only left to find to get all clues for the TMNT Mystery. As with Raphael's Rest there was no clue in the logbook which I was expecting to find having found Leonardo's Labyrinth first. I now realise the clue is in Donatello's head which I will need to go back and recover in order to solve final TMNT Mystery. This cache I (MRS TEF) also found frustrating to find as the description made me look in the broken machinery first (and TEF Jnr and TEF Grandad). The actual cache was tried with hesitancy as it was very difficult to remove and I wondered if it was actually it or not. Grandad used his brute strength though and after wayyyyy to much searching we had cache in hand. TFTC.

Nicely constructed cache and clever hide. TFTC

A very nicely done cache, well worth a favourite point. Thanks very much for the cache.

A second visit and this time managed to eventually locate the concealed cache. Nice hide. No sports today despite it being a public holiday. tftc

Public holidays do give you a chance not to look mad clever hide TFTC

Wasn't too sure where to look for this one, but thankfully the hint narrowed down the possible locations quite a lot.
Nice hide. Couldn't see any codes in this one either.
Thanks.

While roaming NZ and encountering lovely landscapes,I found this cache.TFTC

Found while visiting Gypsy fair TFTC

A good hide and pleased there were no sports on today, might have been hard to explain what I was doing.

TFTC

Very wise, cute face!

This is probably my favourite cache in Wanganui hahaha. Thanks!

Couldn't see it anywhere

Cruising the area, picking up caches as I go. Nice spot

TFTC

This is the second TMNT cache of the day

Out picking up the parks caches with kbutterflynz.
Really good camo but clue steered us right.

Nice series of cache hides.

On a fun road trip with tmann421 to Wanganui for the weekend collecting come caches along the way.

Enjoyed this series of fun caches.

The rain had finally stopped so after lunch I took Miss 5 and 6 off geocaching and this was the first. We spied the hide but had to wait for a couple of muggles to walk past (hurry up!). After signing the log we made sure the coast was clear before placing the clever cache back. We forgot to locate the hint for the final so will need to make a return trip to this cache at some point.

TFTC

Really good cache loved the idea first cache I've seen like it and always wanted to find a cache like it. Deserves a favourite point.

Read the hint as I approached and then looked up and immediately saw were I needed to go. Nicely done. TFTC

Had a bit of time while waiting for the youngest Rattll so stopped by here. We were a little worried when we saw the circus vehicles nearby, but there didn't seem to be anyone about, so it wasn't a problem in the end.
Didn't take too long to track Donatello down, although it was a very nicely constructed cache.
Just the currently disabled one to go, then onto the final. Thanks HH

Found with a scramble. A good hide!

Out with JonoS who had returned from travels and finally found this cache. Clever container. Don't disturb the nesting birds as its not in the old fan. TFTC

GPS Wada a bit out on this one and arrow on map was a bit off too but after a while of searching Mr berries went back to recheck and found it. It had been put back quite tight so took a bit to pull out but got there. Just realised we didn't get clue for 5th one in series so will have to pop back tomorrow as kids keen to get all the TMNT ones tftc!

Quickly spotted the cache and wasn't too hard to access. Nice effort gone into the cache. Tftc fav point from us

A FP from us
Again looked at the obvious first many thanks

Love the tmnt series! Boys learning about them - tftc

This is a highly 'authentic 'cache and i was worried.. being vertically challenged. But. It is well laced, although wouldn't want to thereon a sorts day! A great cache and placement. thank you for this cache and another smiley face.

Another nicely made cache. Had to use surrounding structure to access as I have short legs. Daughter thought that Donatello's eyes were hilarious. TFTC

Published

Saw this cache go live with a few others by GummyHermit and also saw that rattll had already picked up two of them so was surprised to find this was still not logged when I checked at the end of the work day. Seeing it had not been found I loaded the new caches into the GPSr and off out the door. Parked up in the nearby carpark and went for a wander. Got to GZ and had a look in what I thought were obvious spots but no.

But then one of those moments, I wonder if that's it....and it was. Nice hide GummyHermit although Don did not quite look like I remember him. Gets a FV for the hide, the effort in the cache and the background on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Looking forward to finding the rest of the series. Thanks also for the {*FTF*}
