Little vegetables - Carrot Cromwell, South Island, New Zealand
By central otago hilton on 06-Mar-17. Waypoint GC71MMC

Completely missed the nudges for this one, apologies. Don't have another carrot! so will archive.

Hi central otago hilton

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

Appears to be gone.

Nothing found here today.

Sad end to the 9 km walk . With Tokerau

Reading the last comments it was no point in looking further.

Cache is damaged

We're hunting Tour caches and anything that's not slowing down our objective to much. We scored 3x nights at Rotary Glen with max occupancy of 10 vans. The plan was just staying 2 nights but it's just to nice here. We never explored Cromwell, just raced through so we're going to make the most of it. The wind is already picking up and grew into a decent storm as the day progresses. It took two phones and a GPS to be reasonably sure we had the right tree. Then suddenly the carrot was spotted on the ground minus its bison. Victim of muggles, weedwacker or tractor? Took photo of the carrot as proof to claim the find. Thank you central otago hilton

We are out and about in the area finding some caches and enjoying exploring and revisiting other areas again.
Today we focused on healthy eating, making sure we got our recommended number of servings of fruit and veges.
Unfortunately all we found here was a carrot on the ground and the bison and log likely a victim of a tractor.
Thank you central otago hilton.

Beating the heat of the day a drive around to pick up a few caches. Have found all the fruits so thought I'd grab a few veges for my health Coords a wee bit out but geosenses had me looking for the cache where I thought it might be. Just needed a TOTT to grab itA couple more to go on the vege trail, another time too hot now! tftc

Found with Fisha1288

Out for the day Geocaching around Cromwell. After completing the Little Fruit trail we carried on to do the Little Vegetable trail. This one we found on ground. Mr S reattached. Mmm Qjjite like carrots. Always have some growing in the garden.

Thanks central otago hilton.

We didn't find this in June but this time we did find it quickly. Easier with no leaves on the trees.

Quick find today. Thought I would try again before too many leaves grow. Must have been put off by previous dnf's.

Really like this trail and the fruit trail. Such a cute idea and awesome container. Thanks for hiding

On a 7 day caching trip with Nosynel. Seventh day on the road focusing on caches in Cromwell. Having found the fruit for a balanced diet now we are onto vegetables. I love ! Thank you for the hide.

It took a while to spot. Jude_E and I spent last night in Arrowtown and are planning on finding the fruit series, doing the lab cache and other geocaches in the Cromwell area. It is our final full day on this Otago Road trip.. Thanks central otago hilton for creating this hide. It was find 8715 for me.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021

Maybe need some carrots to help with my eyesight?

We couldn't find this one either. Felt like we were on someone's property so we were too uncomfortable to look for too long.

No sign of this one today, with the ease of the other finds, we were wondering if it has gone?

Found on the ground without hidden. I put it somewhere better (hint). Thank you for a tip where to go for a walk after sitting in beautiful public library.

Last one for us. Thanks for placing all the caches!

Quick find. Enjoyed an afternoon on Bike, visiting some Winecellars.

TFTC - up in central for a bridge tournament - came a little early so I could claim some more smiley faces up this way
Quickly found

Found on Xmas day

I had parked up my snail shell in the Lowburn caravan park yesterday and decided to sign off a few caches today.

These are good for making you see in the dark.[:o)]

Cheers for the cache.

A quick easy find, although a strange place for a root vegetable. TFTC

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Lovely little find, really brightened my day. Thank you

And the last one, we like this trail , thank you very much

For this one a favorite

Thanks for the cache Greetings from the Netherlands

Great easy find!! First one of the vegetables

We’re based at Arrowtown for a couple of days and headed over Cromwell way today to find a few caches and do some short walks in the process. This was one of 24 caches we located. A quick find. #2683. TFTC.

My turn to do a little safe cracking. Some jewels need returning to the vault. Yum, Topweight all the way laughing. Found the cool cache and signed the logslip in the thingy. TFTC

Found it

Hmmm Carrots, I'm not partial to cooked ones and prefer eating them raw; not that they help me see any better in the dark. A fresh new day seen me grabbing my vitamin ABC's on the hunt for the third of three Sapphires taken in the great jewel heist at the Museum having been briefed on the case by the detective and gathered the clues at the start of the investigation. An eclectic collection of keyrings attached to the cache holding the squeaky clean logslip was in hand after a wee reach and first to SL after the caches were recently maintained. A muggle ploughing his field responding with a noice wave, hmm nothing suspicious going on here. TFTC COH

Log book replaced

A very fun series of caches, I loved the fruit and veges around Cromwell. Lots of fun with Mum and Dad for the morning, TFTC
Log is very full, 1 space left.

A very well put together series of caches. Had great fun doing these and getting kelboy to tell us what vege we found. TFTC

Log book is getting full and will need replacing

Late log cache carnival was on when find it is not on now

Last one for us, now home to prepare Veges for dinner

Thank you from Howard and Kath

Sorry took a while to work out how to log this

Today we made a trip in and around Cromwell, thus visiting many sightseeing highlights. On this trip we searched, found and logged many caches, too. The weather was beautiful, sunny, very warm, no little bit cloudy, and only sometimes there was some wind.
Almost no muggels observed us as they had to drive their cars on the not too easy roads around here.

Thanks to central otago hilton for showing us this location and for the fun we had at Little vegetables - Carrot. The search we had here today didn't take too much time.

Greetings from Germany and hope to see you soon in the forest.

The youngest of the EU crew was involved in a hockey tournament for 3 days, so some great caching had between games. Enjoyed the Little veges trail in an area we hadn't been before. TFTC

We enjoyed the little veggie series. Good fun and good hides, many thanks

TFTCS

Great idea and great hiding place

Many thanks to all the COs who helped make our geocaching holiday a great success
We left home early April and returned 21 May 2018. We toured from our home base up to a wedding in North Taranaki then carried on heading south right down through wellington and on down the west coast and back up via the eastern side of the alps some times going around in circles. Our aim was to get as many smiley faces on the puzzle caches that we had solved but of course stopping for many traditionals, multies and others as we went. some time we biked the bike trails or walked but mostly by campervan. we enjoyed the quite back country roads, many of them were metal but we just travelled along slowly going from cache to cache. Most caches were in good condition and I will remark if we thought it needs maintence etc.

We've been up for the weekend and were meeting a fellow cacher at 10 who had already done this series, so we de-iced the car, layered up and had the first cache in hand at a chilly 8am. Thanks for the cool series.

First one of the morning. Veges are a bit frozen.

Up for a couple of days of caching staying in Cromwell. Loved every minute of it.
TFTC

My partner finds your GCs fun and amusing. Thanks!

If I was setting this I would have planted it ha ha mean aye ...great cache and really enjoying the series thanks team Hilton

Yes! I think I might have left my training a bit late for rail trail tomorrow!!Thanks for the series Central Otago Hilton

From the big fruit yesterday to the little veges today. I woke early this morning so thought I may as well get out and about on the trail. I must've been eating my carrots because it was no trouble to see this one in the dark. Although I haven't seen one growing quite like that before. TFTC # 12,112

Another find along the veggie trail - tftc

Last one from the vegetable series. This one was a quick find in the refreshing shade of a tree. TFTC central otago hilton!

Cool, never noticed these trees before. Tftc.

Nice easy find for the first cache of the day. Think the vege series is going to be just as entertaining as the little fruit one yesterday

After doing many of the Little Fruit series, we got hooked on this one. So fun and cute. TFTC.

Found with Mporokosa. TFTC.

Another great series to follow along, once again great containers. Lots of cherries for sale as we traveled along.
Thanks for the placements on another set of roads I have never traveled.

Great day out caching in the area, lot of neat caches, and interesting spots. Many Thanks Bitsprayer

A quick park and grab while up here to clean up Cromwell's caches before Xmas as I want to try to get to 2000 before 2018. TFTC

last one! loved this one! we now have the whole trail!

Logged with GCDroid. With the end of the year looming I needed a good boost in cache finds to up my daily average. With my eyes on this series for quite sometime, today was the day to venture out and nail it. A great series, impressive hides and a creative theme and caches this was great fun. Most caches in good nick, few lids missing and the odd logbook full, thats all. Tftc RowenaD

CZECH
díky za keš z pěkné série

Much too cold for any self respecting carrot

Log book replaced.

What fun. Needs a new log this one full.

Beautiful day for a picnic so we decided to gather some vegetables on the way. Didn't need a hint to carrot hunting. TYFTC

Found with Spydude13 and Us04. TFTC.

Found with LollipopCat and Us04. TFTC.

The (major road trip was about to begin) that was for the Oamaru Geofest trip in the company of HKCB and iammrwalker for a bit of a road trip across to the west coast, through Haast and in a roundabout way to Oamaru.

My trip stats were as follows: 617 caches (214 Puzzles), 3300kms, 500 litres of Petrol, 21 hours sleep, 100+hours caching time. THe weather was wonderful and apart from about a 6hour period on the sunday we had fine weather all the way and feel that we made a bit of a hole in the region.

Firstly thanks to all the CO's that put in the effort to to set up these caches and to all the CO's whose caches we did not find this trip, well we are already planning our next trip.
We worked hard at getting specific caches (especially the Geo Art around christchurch and hence our concentration on this area for the preliminary 24 hours. So after a couple of running repairs to the rental vehicle (fuses not working) we were off knowing that all ports could be charged and that sleep was for the weak.

Sorry about the copy and paste logs but that is what tends to happen with a number run of this size.
Well we made it to Cromwell by 11am so now its just to collect the fruit and vegitables along with a ouple of others before heading up to Bendigo.
