Nice find with woolwood9 today.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!

Found the attachment device but no cache. Searched in the long grass beneath but no joy. Will return one day if it gets replaced.
Today I went caching before, during and after the Mangawhai Walking Weekend. This was a lovely trail for that challenge: #7/20 tftc! easy treesy all in good nick.
Out and about with TW, doing some driveby's , walkbys etc, and just having a nice day cruising for caches. Thanks.
TF and I had planned a day up north picking up a few caches and this series neither of us had found so was lovely to drive along and pick them up. No problems with any of the caches and all placed in sensible places. TFTC
Nice easy find today thanks....heading back from a holiday and caching adventures in Waipu and Langs!
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We decided to shape our weekend caching adventures around a couple of Gap's jobs... and then it started to rain.
This is more like it... The iPhone gps pointed this way. so we left it in the car and searched visually. No problems, and a quick find. TFTC.

Today I had to go to Waihi Beach then on up to Mangawhai to measure jobs. weather was not the best but jobs were inside.
Arranged with Squirrel Nutcase to come along as a passenger so we could collect a few caches in our travels.
We both got wet and muddy (which is all part of caching) along with 7 DNF's with several caches needing new log books.
We decided to stop in Wellsford for the night, had dinner at the local roast shop which was very very nice.
Perhaps owners would like to do some repairs in area. SLTFTC

Decided to take a drive down here today with the kids and get the new caches of this series. Rain clouds loomed but stayed away for the afternoon. Saw cache as we pulled up. Made quick work signing and returning cache. TFTC.
1.55pm. Back at the farm for a few days so time to find the rest of this series. Quick one to start with.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
The weather was just right, so I took two days to go up to Waipu to get in some Geocaching. Also, I wanted to make sure all my camping gear was in order for next month's Mega in Wellington.
I guess I was quite contrary since I looked in a few places before finding this one. TFTC.

Had seen these three new ones when I checked the emails this morning and was very keen to try for a FTF to keep my monthly streak going. July is not usually a good month for new caches to be published, so I wanted to give it a good shot.
After checking at afternoon tea time and still no found logs, I made a call to head off on the 75 km trip down to Te Arai. Made good time and was at this cache just before 4:30. Cache was soon found and as I opened the log, it looked to be blank.....??, yeah....??, nah..!! KC had beaten me to it by a couple of hours. Congrats to them. And thanks for putting out some new caches in the middle of winter. TFTC

Last night we noticed 3 new Te Arai Trail caches had been published. We decided to keep an eye on them, and if they remained unlogged after work today we would head north to attempt the First To Find. We arrived at this first one about 2.30pm, and soon had the brand-new logsheet in hand. Very happy to sign for the FTF, keeping our monthly streak going
