Missing. It was very themed and cannot be replaced easily the trees are rotting and I feel they will be taken down soon as they border a cycleway. The cache has probably dropped into a bottonless hole. It's time to go.
Unfortunately I did not find this one today. It's a shame as the instructions seemed clear and the Activity log gave some helpful info as well. Will try to come back to this one.
A quick easy find of a most appropriate cache container, although probably not very appropriate for going geocaching. A favourite from us. TFTC
#18125. This one took a while, mainly because it wasn't where my scouting mission notes said it would be. I eventually spotted something interesting rather lower than I was expecting (down near GL). Loved the cache contents! TFTC.
Until the viral lockdown is lifted, my geocaches are disabled. Any logs will be deleted. DO NOT Geocache currently.
We went to get a quick cache straight from work. A good park and grab. Was looking at getting this one yesterday but saved for today. Love the work put into this. TFTC
Caching with themexikiwi and the little brother today and doing a few caches before dropping the car off and heading back home.
Didn't take too long to find a likely looking spot and we were soon in business and on our away again. TFTC

Nice easy find! In fact it is our first ever geocache! Thanks -Shyla & Tanna (BlackWolfAdventures)
Awesome find lol thanks I put our names down as Timber and Pheonix and our YouTube channel blackWolfAdventures thanks!
I had a bit of a better idea of what I might be in for here after the last cache. I love the song and the album this one of my favourites. Deserves one for you too then. TFTC # 14,459
A quick find and another interesting cache. Didn't time this well as school was just getting out so went home after this one.
Quick find but I got water all over my shoes with the bad weather. Staying with family nearby. Up from Dunedin. Tftc
Today I needed at least 2 finds for a calendar day, so was not at all pleased by the weather forecast. And even less pleased when the rain continued without stopping over lunch time, when I was planning on making a dash out. Luckily it was just an annoying drizzle rather than torrential rain, but even so, stuck with my plan of a couple of drive bys.
Of course, both drive bys turned out to be right beside dotted yellow lines
, but I was fortunate to be able to get a park across the road here. Stayed in the car in the dry while I made sure I had read all the info about the hide, as well as getting my pen ready. Some extra intell from an earlier scouting mission by StreetWalker meant that the cache was an instant find 
.
Another quirky hide from the CO, and a fav point for bringing some sparkle into an otherwise dismal day. TFTC.

Our 2nd cache was a lil tricky but we got there good clue once we clicked haha good fun thanks
A nice easy find here. Not my type of footwear! I much prefer a comfy pair of trainers. TFTC.
We looked for about 5 mins and then M saw the container. I was concentrating on the wrong place. We laughed when we saw what the title meant.
Went on a bike ride to visit friend and decided to pick up a couple of cache on the way. Wow this is very clever and beautiful, would love a pair with bling. Gets a fav from us as made us smile and liked the hide. Thanks for the cache busy paws.
What a find!!!!! Sooo creative. Wife and I loved this cache. Best one yet
I was keen to find a few more after the CITO before heading home for the night! By the time I made it back to the office, collected my belongings, and located the car, it was reasonably dark! Great cycle path, but more difficult to find a suitable parking spot when driving! TFTC!!
We found a number of caches on this trip - thanks to all the hiders for there hides. Trying to get these all logged.
Good to be back in CHCH, my hometown

The cycle way is NEARLY complete on this section. I'll put the cache back when I can.
The cycle way is being constructed and GZ has much activity around it. I think this will be out of action for some time. Have new cache ready to go back when it's possible and feasible.
Out on a scouting mission at lunch time, and came out with a 50/50 record (with a DNF here). Found a likely looking hole on an old post next to a tree (the post wasn't on the fence line) but the hole appeared to be empty.
Was in the area and had to park and grab. Another amazingly clever cache from a prolific hider! Thanks for the cache.
I love your imagination, busypaws! What an awesome cache. Thanks for the hide. Fantastic!

good to go, log book is a bit the worse for weathering, but have left it as original.
Have removed this while I think about the placement. There is no point in having a cache that no-one can find. It really is as the hint suggests, maybe I need to increase the D rating. I will look at the area and see what I can do.
As with recent searchers, I spent ages here, buoyed by the CO's recent log confirming that the cache is indeed in place.
I assumed the co-ordinates were accurate to 10m or better and looked (and felt) in every accessible hole in the maze of trees and old posts along the fenceline within that range. Quite obviously though, there is at least one I didn't look in!

Dressed in formal gear after a family birthday and 2nd DNF for the day so far... 
Even with beautiful orange shoes it didn't help finding this cache with MacPacParents
Not a quick find but eventually we found the Sparkly Container on Sparks Rd.TFTH
Wow, this is the second-most unorthodox way to store a cache I've ever seen!

7498. We needed three more finds to get to 7500 so went for a ride out Sparks Rd way to get the three. This was find number one and took a lot of searching, even with the hint! Loved the container. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.
Log book dried out, looks a bit mucky but should last a bit longer, now placed in plastic bag. Have changed the hint wording to be more helpful.
Searched for ages but no luck, even using the hint. Thanks anyway. Rodney and Iris.
We were looking for quickies this evening, and after scouting out GZ, decided this could keep for another drier, warmer day.
Walking my girl with ivss_xx, obviously he took us to a geocache. This one is very close to my old teenage stomping grounds!
I did not have diamonds on my shoes...

Found on an evening dog walk, this is currently the third closest cache to my home location, being 0.41km away
Reading the lyrics, all I can say that it is a bit weird song. **Bigoted** ways of rich girls?
Hanyway... Real cool cache container, surely made me smile
Thanks for the cache!

Another cache off the DNF list, that's always a great feeling. Found it easily on the second attempt, in the first place I looked, but I couldn't have done it without the help of an explicit hint from CO at a recent event. TFTC (3143)
we are never a fan of “size other” you never know what you will find and we found nothing, so many hiding spots on that fence line and gps not staying in one spot. Don’t worry it makes it even better when we find it.
Started the search when suddenly a car stopped. It was the cache owner, pointing into the right direction. Unfortunately the CO was in a rush - otherwise we could have done with some more hints! Thanks for the cache (and the help)
DNF on this occasion, but Mr Thrillstone managed to stab himself with a tree lol. Will be back!

Today at lunchtime, went off caching with 2 wombles - so we picked this area as one where we still had a few that both of us hadn't found yet!
Number three for me and number 2 for 2wombles...
Another that took longer than it should have! My GPS has been playing up lately, phone is practically out of data with still half a month till rollover... so only 1 GPS between us!!
Once one of us starting looking in the right spot it was quickly found...
Consec caching day # 1251

Was out with Sonia26642 during lunch for a caching session. Didn't take too long to locate this cache today. Thanks for the cache.
No worries finding but was a bit worried by what I did find, thank goodness for that little note.
Paul Simon's Anthology album is one of my favourite albums. After noticing that the CO had moved the cache since my last attempt (2 months ago) I thought I would make another attempt the next time I was cyclocaching out this side of Christchurch. Happy to report no difficulties this time.
