Thanks for the easy find

Good spot

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are on the road again, up "North" to visit family an friends. We are heading South today and are checking out some hides around New Plymouth. Summer is here, it is quite warm!Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Had been staying with Scw23 but nabbed this once we had left, on our way out of town. Thank you Juty Bug

Quick find

Container fill of water paper is fine though

Quick find , very wet container , paper fine

Found it on the other side to where we first started looking

Easily found

Thanks! And a few slugs too!

It turned out I hadn't found a cache for a while so I looked for a quick near by cache to find on this cold morning.
After the brisk walk to GZ I found the cache on the other side from where I was looking.

Good spot

We rode from Fitzroy Beach today up the Huatoki track this morning and this was our turning point before we commenced the AdLab back to the wand.
A quick find and sign today.

Took the campervan around to the end and only a short walk

Was walking past here with the dog this morning and remembered an unsuccessful stop here once before. No trouble with the latest replacement. Tftc

Easy as. Who ever knew there was a dam up here. Tftc

cool find pretty view

Walked up the roadway to the top of the dam for the Adventure Lab then realized this one was nearby. Coming that way I didn't see a zig or a zag. Thanks for the cache, no need for a 5th replacement yet.

fourth replacement

A quick find if the cache once we were at the right elevation. Great views of the pony club from here. The mint tin is rusted and impossible to open. So have included a photo as proof of our find.

We searched for quite a while

Had a good look around but no luck.

I think it's gone

Was going t a pop of the year in a movie that have a pop culture that have a long way of life in a way to make the LEDs feel better than the LEDs and they have to

Tricky spot

Good spot TFTC

While out doing an AdLab cache this one was in my way so I just had to sign it off.

Cheers for the cache.

Visiting New Plymouth for the weekend. Nice sunny day to be out caching. Managed 2 out of the 3 Zig Zag. No joy here. Thanks anyway Juty Bug for pleasant walk.

Awesome, first time doing it, ended up going up high and finally spotting it. Thank you

It been taken again now have used my last bison to replace it, will seek out another placement later

Found where it should be I think but not there.

Looks to have gone

Found this a while ago and it looks like I did not log it at the time, so here goes. All good at GZ when I did it, nice wee walk down and back. Tftc Blenheim Bear

Having found Zig Zag 2 & 3 during our extended weekend stay in New Plymouth, I couldn't resist finding this cache as the last one before we left for the Mighty Waikato! Loved the series, TFTC

Replace bison hope this one doesn’t go missing

Maybe we weren’t looking hard enough

#12,171. A short zig zag walk in Hurworth. Good view. Quite a popular spot with quite a few other walkers passing by. Quick find between muggles. The cache - a micro rather than a small - was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the placement, and for bringing us to this site, and …

Cute little zigzag and a chance to visit the horses nearby. Nice geocaching adventure on labour day with Evisser8..TFTC

Found on Labour Day 2020 with Osbourneroadoddballs. Very wet log. Hard to write on.

Needs maintenance. Log very wet.

Awesome little hide awesome spot tftc

TFTC a very clever find with benandjen69

Great view!

Mr rattll wanted to pick something up in New Plymouth, which wouldn't take long, so what to do with the rest of the day?
We did the extra walk to pick up this one while doing the near by 'Hundred acre wood' series.
It was a lovely winters day today, and there were lots of horses getting attention as we walked past the pony club area.
No problems making the find here, thanks for setting it up Juty Bug

A quick easy find of a nicely hidden cache on our first Zig Zag cache - A bit of a workout here. TFTC

Cool micro cache

Thanks it was super fun to find

Thanks for the Cache.

Thought I would grab this one while do the Aker wood caches near by TFTC

Out and about today locating a few of the caches that have been waiting to be tackled but put off because of unknown access points etc etc (or any other excuse) . This time i was accompanied by two wonderful 'gentlemen' , local cachers! and the tasl seemed so much more straight forward. I was very close to this one some time ago when i was in the nearby horse area . nicely hidden but simply placed. many thanks for this cache today.

Was just about to leave when I found haha. Hint was a bit misleading tho.

Lovely view but unfortunately we were unable to find the cache. It’s been 9 months since the last find... we’re wondering if it is still here

These three Zig or Zag caches confused me - I often find a cache, mark it as found in the GPS then tell the GPS to Get Next Closest. As my GPS does not have room to show the whole title, I thought I had miss clicked and not actually selected Get Next Closest and selected it again. Almost failed to get this cache as I had thus marked it as found when actually I hadn't. Or maybe that was the other cache?

Ah - it was this one! because here GZ has been completely remodelled. The hide is completely gone. We put in a replacement cache, 7m from original hide. Original coords, size, hint all stay the same,


Merry Christmas!
It's Christmas Dai, day thirteen of Taybeedragon's and my big 3 week circumnavicaching trip around Mt Taranaki, starting from Palmerston North. Today we are rummaging around New Plymouth.

Highlights:
* 3 weeks, 536 caches
* Mt Taranaki had been removed for washing, which was a bit of a shame. Even after it had been returned we were only allowed to see it for it was less than half an hour a day.
* High percentage of caches with crappy coordinates
* Amazing Pukekura Park
* AMAZING Pukekura Park light show!
* Pukeiti Gardens
* Lots of cache maintenance!

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](https://coord.info/GC87777) - you won't want to miss it!

Merry Christmas. Another Zag orZig to complete. This area has been remodeled. We arranged a replacement cache with Temp RITR log to keep this one rolling along. Cheers

Day 13- Merry Christmas, Wednesday 25 December. Around New Plymouth again today.

The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby and I are spending Christmas exploring Taranaki via geocaching. Its been an amazing 3 week adventure. Rattls BBQ was a great event, meeting many other cachers. But also managed to fit in a few more events, especially New Years Day celebrating the start of 2020. Lots of caches - over 500. Lots of cache maintenance. Lots and lots of kilometers. And lots of amazing places visited along our journey. Mt Taranaki remained elusive for much of our travels and the caches on it at the top. Loved Pukekura Park Night Lights Show and the the Wooden Mechanical toy exhibition at NP Info centre.

Found it

A nice find on a hot walk tftc

Missing.

Almost didn’t find, but the eagle eyes of miss 6 spotted it just as we were about to leave. Tftc

Second time it has gone missing so have replaced with a bison

Looked saw the hole where it was and the rock it was under. Cave weta was with us and he found it a few weeks back. Looks like its been snaffled. merry christmas

Nice find on a good walking rkute.

Seemed to be obvious where it should of been but couldn’t find it today.

Nice easy find, great with kids. We left a couple of treasures for the next littlies to swap.

Yay 300th Geocache found!!!
Bella was getting irritable so I let her choose which one to find next. She chose this one thinking it would be an easy leash walk. While not that far 90mts as the crow flys was further than she expected.

It can be a little bit tricky locating the track to the retention dam from the nearest road. Had to wait for a couple of walkers relaxing in the sun before they moved off and I was able to retrieve the well protected log in the cache. Thanks Juty Bug

After dropping Mr geco off at airport had some time to spare before meeting a friend so I picked Vogeltown as a caching destination and took the furkids for a walk. Great view and quick find. Tftc

GigiEV ran ahead of me to find this herself first today. What a great zigzag! She found cache easily enough and while she was unboxing cache it reminded me of Russian dolls a bit. TFTC

Found it myself today. Could hear the thunder rolling in the distance the whole time. Loved the run up and back. TFTC

Nice quick find, would be impressive to see the dam full. TFTC

Catching up with some friends nearby. Cool morning to be zigging and zagging. TFTC

bother another zig zag and i missed it instead i amnaged to re visit one of the others i had found months ago! Got confused with names and places it seems .

Grand Nieces had the day off from school, and we were weren't out this way checking on the MIOW car (nephew has borrowed it), so decided to do this cache, that's my exercise for the day, tftc Juty Bug

Day of school today, so Aunty Nana is looking after us, I found this one before my sister, tftc

thank you for the cache, out with my sister Riley and Jennifer

TFTC!

a day with gem, and a lovely day to be out and about, nice walk accross the land dam and a cool little cache, 900th cache now found, TFTC

Cool hiding place

Nice to discover I was 2ndTF! Great viewing spot, and neat water-proofing.
Thanks, JutyBug, for bringing me back to this area. TFTC

It’s rare nowadays I can get to a FTF and for a start I thought this day was going to be no different, TheMaxners having found and logged Zig & Zag 2 before me. But where’s there hope... and in this case I beat them to here. Whew!
Thanks Juty Bug for another opportunity of another {FTF}. And fills a dot day to boot. TFTC
