Quick find, on route to Chch, off to explore Balmoral nature reserve now tftc.Top of cache is damaged and log is full
I am out of the area for some time and cannot maintain this cache.I appreciate your patience while I find a solution to replacing the logbook and container.
I've passed by on the main drag several times since the cache was placed but generally we were on a non geocaching mission. Today we had enough times up our sleeves for time to grab a couple before our next appointment. A couple of campets making use of the grounds. As others have said before, the lid has a hole in it and the log sheets are full. Replaced as found, upside down. Thanks for placing.
A quick find afrer i had waited for the clue to download the lid has a gole in it so replaced upside-down
Staying overnight in the reserve, so made sure to wander over and grab this cache while I was here, TFTC
Drove all the way here from Christchurch for a FTF 300m down the road. So need to find a few caches on the way home to make it worthwhile. Was looking at the protected small tree first of all but soon moved to the mid sized tree. Must of grown. TFTC.
On an Overnight Mission with That Darn Bear, grabbing some caches along the way Took two goes at this, as we went to do a late-night find only to have a dude in a Falcon do a creepy drive-by, a U-turn and then setup for the night in his car right across from GZ. Fortunately the Creepy-Car-Sleeping Human had departed by the time we rose from the dead and went for the find
GeoHubby (GNARwhal) and I are heading away on an overnight adventure in the camper as Miss 11 is away at camp. A few quick stops made along the way, this being one.An eventful cache for us. Waited until dark, because who doesn't enjoy a bit of night caching, only to be disturbed by a muggle setting up camp in his car across the road. We came back in the morning to make the find, then headed off down the road to place a cache of our own. Thanks for the cache.
We pulled over on the road side and jumped out of the car only to notice another vehicle had pulled over not far behind us. Hopped back in the car and read through the logs until they left again then headed of for a nice quick find. tftc#7214
I have parked my snail shell up at an old camp ground on Lake Sumner Rd. I then jumped into the cachemobile to locate and sign off a few caches around Hawarden and Hurunui.This is a massive camping ground.Cheers for the cache, kiwi-pete.

Quick search around and it wasn't long before we spotted the cache Thank you for the cache
Tftc. Very quick find on way home from weekend away to celebrate queens passing. Fitting as this was in balmoral, Scotland
The gps zeroed in brand new construction activities. Lucky the coordinates were 15m out!
Caching around the Amuri Basin. It was all clear until I started approaching the cache, then a convoy of vehicles parked close by. Thankfully they just ignored me; TFTC
This was a great place to stop for lunch as we made our way to Hanmer Springs.
The cache is a little visible but seems safe enough.
Thanks for putting it here

We were speaking to someone this morning about this spot and as we drove past we decided to pull in and have a look. Quite a large area to camp.
A nice quick find.

Nice easy find in the rain, great little spot about 25 years ago I helped build the original rock gateway while here with Venturers (new one looks way more stable) tftc
What a busy camping area! Found a gap between cars to search. Read previous logs and hints, as cache was not where my GPS lead me. Log is damp but usable. Thanks for the placement.
Found in the open but all OK. Re hidden as per hint. Lovely spot but so many cars pulling over, it seemed like Picadilly circus!! Cache is also now behind a wire fence, just saying. It's a been a bit lonely, so glad to give it some attention. TFTH

Quick park and grab on our way south. Tftc
Did note that there is no travel bugs in the container, they must've been snaffled after being dropped in 2020

#9299. Its Good Friday. The start of an Easter road trip to the South Island to pick up a swag of geotour caches in Canterbury, West Coast and Otago over the extended Easter break. Doing this trip with caching buddy Infoferret as we decided to share the cost of a rental car and fuel plus share the driving with the long distances planned for this trip. We hired a hybrid car and it was a good choice as it was economical but easily made it through all the long distances with no concerns over fuel tank capacity. Today we are heading to Hokitika via Hanmer Springs, Lewis Pass, Reefton and Greymouth (just 25 litres of fuel used for this day).
Making our way north now. Stopped here for a park and grab. Busy reserve with lots of campers in attendance over the Easter break. I walked too far but IF checked out an object that matched the hint and was rewarded with the cache. Signed the logbook, and replaced everything as found. Thanks kiwi-pete for the cache.

A quick and easy find, just had to be aware of any muggles coming in. Must come back and maybe camp. Thanks for the cache.
