Was keen to get a cache today and had headed down to the river and had a unsuccessful look for the bird on a wire.

for this one i guessed the container type from the size and where my GPS took me, and quickly spotted it.
So from one troubled water spot to another, this time a successful find.

Cheers

Only just finished logging the 100+ caches from the weekend and am shattered. But now to start on the ones we desperately grabbed last Tuesday to qualify for the Skindo 250 finds in February! Thank god for working part-time. Coerced hubby to come and put the pedal to the floor. I should be at home getting ready for going to Wellington tomorrow for work. Never enough time! Quick find here.

parking was easy and didnt take long at all to spot, the bottom seems to be stuck almost lost the log when I pulled it out and the log fell out and rolled away, but enjoyed the find and the view. thanks for taking the time putting the cache out and bringing us here

Cool little hiding spot for the cache
 
10-Aug-16
Quack quack quack! Be careful taking this one out of its hidey-hole, the bottom of the container seems to have fallen off and gotten itself wedged out of reach. I tried fishing it out with my pen, no luck. Bit of blu-tack at the end of a stick might help with getting it.

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

A nice quick find here today.

After placing a new cache for Panda Paradise I decided to take/drag Miss 5 and 6 to one more cache and this was the closest cache we haven't found yet. No problems with the cache hide and we all enjoyed the stream view from the footpath.

TFTC +FP Smile

On our road trip home from Palmerston North, taking a scenic detour north and stopping where we could - and not be too obvious in a camper van. Walked to this one after parking up in Kowhai Park. Good hide thanks.
 
25-Nov-15

Great spot. Have often driven over the bridge but not stopped to look down,. Must have been impressive in the flood. Posted a picture . TFTC
 
06-Oct-15
Perfect!
 
06-Oct-15
Quickly spotted. Water looks muddy down below. Tftc
 
06-Oct-15
We tried our hardest searching day and night but could not find it
 
05-Oct-15
Good little find nice and simple
 
29-Sep-15
I could. From looking at the site that when the flood were occurring the water would have been very troubled at the corner of the stream as it is now! All the snickered houses along Anza parade remind me of Christchurch! thank you for the cache and another smiley face,
 
21-Sep-15
Quick find today in logical place.Tftc.

Number 5 for the day and started thinking I would need help from my long fingered companion again but very helpful aid in place for extraction. Thanks gh.
 
19-Sep-15
Its really started to rain now, but have two caches under my belt so why not grab the last one on the way home? Parked up around the corner and walked up to the cache and as I approached I was fairly certain where GZ would be. Stopped at likely spot and looked down at the stream (and some of the odd flotsam & jetsom there) and while at it, scoped out where the cache was. Paperwork quickly sorted and the cache returned to it hide.

I used to catch whitebait in the stream about halfway between GZ and the mouth, used to get a few too. Thanks for the placement GummyHermit.

This one was quite close to junior Rattlls school so popped around for our second {FTF} for the day.
Took a little while simply because of waiting out passing muggles but the find was quite straight forward.
Thanks for setting up all these new caches GH
