Parked over opposite and crossed over to make a quick find before continuing off along SH99, TFTC

I was expecting this to be in a different location that fit the title, but I was just as happy to make the easy find. TFTC.

Travelling around South Island for 2 weeks while in NZ. Finding caches here and there. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Spending 2 days in Invercargill and have set aside one day to do the Pengi geoart and other caches along the way. Great weather today to be roaming the countryside. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining the caches we visited today.

Cool find not where you think it is

Quick find.

Super cool

Found but don't have a pen to sign. SCC Farwell

Found on a Sunday family drive, TFTC

Found this 11/06/2023

Did a maintenance check on this as an experienced cacher posted a DNF. It had a replacement creep of 1m from original spot so I have added a clue. Maybe they need to go to specsavers!!

This was a dnf despite a good search.

Out and about grabbing some caches between showers.
All signed with full names, hz + hm, or h+h.
Thank you for placing this cache.

Finally an opportunity to reduce our solved puzzle list and pick up trades as we went. The rain didn't dampen our spirits and a good day caching was had. TFTC

Invading Invercargill with Gadget169 for a weekend of caching and 2 events.
This one was on our list after leaving Riverton and heading up and around, making our way to Invercargill for our first event...The GeoDuck Race. Nice quick find here TFTC

We are slowly heading back home after finishing the hump ridge track , picking up few caches on the way. It was an incredible three days of pure magic. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
Pretty straight forward find here. TFTC

Easy park and grab tftc

I left 4Clubs in the car and made the dash over the road and luckily found the cache super quickly. I'm not a fan of cobwebs so glad it was in the first place I looked. TFTC

Not where originally expected but a nice fast find still.
TFTC

This was the first of our stops for the day. Not immediately obvious, but with a bit of thought it was located. Early in the morning, so not too much traffic. Thanks for placing this. Found with Debsnz.

Initially went for the object in the name until we looked at the GPS which had us at a different object and then a reasonably quick find in an obvious spot

To easy lol

Coordinates a little out with this one ! With a little thought we searched elsewhere and there it was !

Found It

#18883. Made hard work of this find. Got there in the end, and then decided next stop was our lodgings in Invercargill (time to put our feet up for a bit and have a well earned coffee). TFTC.

Found with StreetWalkerNZ en route from Te Anau to Invercargill, using the scenic route, of course. A beautiful day after a cold start, perfect for caching.
We were obviously getting tired, or maybe the spiderwebs were putting us off because despite this cache being in the obvious place, it took a while to find. Good to finally get our names in the log book. Must be time for a coffee . TFTC.

Got this one snagged and tagged on my way past. Cheers.

Monday 2 November. Headed out to Otautau today. Another cool overcast day this morning at 8deg. Toby lets get exploring!

Toby, Zara and I are on a 3 week geo adventure of Cromwell, Southland, Catlins, Balclutha with a day in Dunedin and quick stop in Timaru. With Lenny, my trusty navigator and TBD my companion/mascot. we managed to visit lots of green boxes, now happy faces with the odd sad one. Did some LABs , earth caches, virtuals and wherigos, all chucked into the mix to rack up 500 odd caches. Lots of kilometers, lots of exploring and lots of fun. Thanks to all COs for our wonderful experience.

Cache 153 nice easy park and grab on the way home from work T4TC

Found on a trip south. Now to find a place to stay

These are very attractive signs which I hadn't noticed before today but did over the following few. Nice to have a seat to complete the admin. TFTC # 15,483

Pretty quick grab

Found on a caching two day journey into Central Otago and Southland with Bitsprayer. Really enjoyed the challenge of the puzzle caches and the many hours spent to unravel the coordinates. Also great to travel along the many roads in the area. Many thanks to the various cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches. TFTC

Had a great day out and about caching in Southland area today, many thanks to all the cache placer's.Thanks Bitsprayer

I had a late start to caching today as it was household duty day today.

A bit of a scratch around and there it was.

Cheers for the cache.

Another wet day out caching. Nice quick find

A nice quick find today. Cheers.

Time to have a holiday road trip, and today we cruised around Invercargill and environs, to collect a few TMGT and other caches.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Easy find on the way back to town after a choice day out and about. Tftc

Lovely day out for this, tftc!

This weekend is my last chance to access the vault for the Mystery at the Museum.
Time to get this. Usually as I travel here on this side of the road it is farewell, though I sometimes take the back road where there is no signage at the boundary.
Today it was welcome, u turn, cache, farewell, then later tonight after the event it will be welcome.
Thanks for the smilie southlandicebergs.

TFTC- looking at my shadows and had ticked the box with a log dated incorrectly so thought I should do the job properly in hindsight
Now off to find some jewels
Quickly found !

Tftc easy find sl and replaced

We saved this cache for a rainy day, knowing there would be a challenge or a dot day when we'd really need it, today was the rainy day! We headed out to Otautau late this evening to start fulfilling the requirements of the Mystery at the Museum, we've cached the area almost bare so things are starting to be a little more difficult to fulfill without involving a roadtrip. On the way home at about 10.45PM we stopped and found this cache. After reading previous logs about all the spideys I was more than happy to stand back and let Tuitigger take the lead Easy find. TFTC

Thought we would save this for a dot day....
Five months after publication, plenty of dot days have since passed...
After a venture out to Otautau tonight, we thought we would get the required Shadow on the way past as part of the Museum challenge, even though it's not a dot day.

Farewell or welcome?

This one did not sit well with Sonya due to her arachnophobia but it was quickly located and log signed. TFTC [^]

Quick find but yes agree plenty of spider webs. TFTC

TFTC #1040 found with rachb

A bad dream can't get back to sleep. Check email oh ...ok a wee road trip. Throw puppa in car as we're passing Donovans Park the whimpering starts. Noooo no walk the sun hasn't risen yet sheesh we're on a mission!! Not the first to sign the book but first log (so for others there's no rush enjoy your Sunday morning I'm covered in cobwebs hopefully not containing spiders! tftc

Looked at nearby caches last night and this wasn't there, so when I switched to 'live map' this morning, I was confused until I realised it was a new cache. We weren't first (we were fast asleep when it was found) but happy to be third when so far away from home. In fact this trip we've had a first, a second and now a third to find!

Working on some personal goals and this *FTF* cache isn't far away from the thread I have been spinning the last couple of months. The first thing spotted was the new Aluminum signs the Southland District council replaced the old signs with last year or so, taking out two (three) local caches. The magnetic mint tin was soon in hand in a place not many squeamish peeps would look first as the Irish curtains were white and willowy. The wee book took some extraction, and while it is in a good weather proof place, a baggy does often help to grip the logbook when the cache owner uses his sneaky magnets that take up a bit of room in the cache. It will save impatient peeps from ripping the log book or just squishing it in. Really?? who's still putting lollies in the caches? I will pop a wee baggy in sometime as I have a good supply of them, and yes they will all have numbers stuck on them. The cache was returned to hide and since it was still a luvly morning, a possie on the walkway was sought on the bridge to watch the sensational sun rise come up, the smoke from all the fires can be clearly seen out to sea. Leaving just as the dogs started up at the kennels and the roosters cleared their throats at the chook houses. Thanks for the new cache SIB. *Day 10 of February galloping through my 1300th cache.*

*Added a baggy.*
