By Kiwimykl on 08-Apr-19. Waypoint GC85YWJ

Headed out today to get the final points for the Cosmic Quest challenge souvenir. Had a plan but that got tossed out the window with the wet weather, so it was on to plan B which was a bit drier.This one had been pushed in a little bit far for short fingers so used something we had on hand to grab it. tftc#9853

A quick and easy one #TFTC

I had parked my snail shell up at the Nelson Speedway after moving it from Reefton in preparation of a day roadie to Blenheim to attend an event for the March Equinox. I had asked Paddle Check to accompany me and she agreed. So we left at sparrowfart so we would get to the event on time.I had to get my close-up eyes on to spot this one.Cheers for the cache, Kiwimykl.

Found it

**20,205**Had to do a couple of loops of GZ before finally spotting the cache. He was very careful t return it not too far in for the next cacher. TFTC

Great place.

Nice

After work had a stroll along the river then driving back stopped for a couple of cache. Nice new cache and log. Thanks for the maintenance. Left as requested for the next cacher. Thanks

Thanks for replacing! Found within a few seconds in the obvious place for a cache

All good to go again

Replacement cache placed at GZ

Three of us looked and we just couldn't spot it. Will come back another time for another try

Cache check carried out after recent DNF. It has gone, so temporarily disabling until I can rectify the situation.

Am nice cache - TFTC

Took longer than it should have to find. Enjoying the caches

So easy! Smart place

Visiting Blenheim to see family as well as running one of the Saint Claire events. Always good to snaffle a cache or 10
Easy find. TFTC 6 May 2022 5:21 pm 838

Cache updated to Premium Member Only due to muggle action after recent newbie finds.

Cache enabled.
Cache changed to PMO.

Cache replaced.

A quick cache check after a recent DNF shows this cache has gone missing after a couple of newbie finds. Will replace and update cache as PMO in due course.

CO has confirmed the cache was missing and given permission to log as found. Thanks Mike.

Out on a cyclocache ride this morning via the Riverlands Cycle Trail and the Wither Hills MTB trails looking for smilies. Now down from Wither Hills and seeking city caches as I make my way back to my accomodation. Just wonder if it has been pushed in too far, or is it me getting tired from a morning out riding in the hills?

Quick find by Cerys. TFTC

Great spot to hide it! Rather easy to fund but was lots if fun

Love these! Tftc

On our way to friends daughters house. Quick find. Tftc

Had to use super stealth today! Good wee spot

We quickly observed why the location was chosen, but it took somewhat longer to find the cache itself. No problems with retrieval. TFTC

Quick find between cars on the way home. TFTC

Nice cache

Good spot

Kids had fun retrieving this one and putting it back

Very clever

Cool place to hide it

As we were driving along I noticed the cache name and I thought I had already found this one but had forgotten to log it. As it turned out this is not the one I thought I had found.

The cache was soon spotted but I could not get to it, so I went across the road and found a tool that could help. Once I had the cache in hand the log was signed and returned so that the next finder can get to it easier.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

Cache sounded interesting - it also reminded me of the 'witch' type project, which in turn reminded me of the Slovak movie Crack. Nice hide, TFTC!!

Found by littlies.

Another sneaky little find. We are loving searching our home town.

TFTC

Found at the end of a wet day. TFTC

Found it on the ground so signed the log and put it back into the obvious place. TFTC

Nice quick find. Another lovely housing estate.

Looked for a few minutes in diff holes then Jan looked in the correct place
Thanks .....

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are on our annual pilgrimage to Auckland for our family Christmas. Today are cruising around Blenheim. Please excuse the generic logs, there have been a few finds and they get muddled up sometimes.

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

Thanks for putting out this cache for woolwood9 and I to find!
SL **tm/ww NZ** (may just be a black smudge on wet or plastic logs)
*We soon had another good cache located, now onto the next one!*

Nice to be away on another geocaching trip with tmann421, travelling to a few places in the upper South Island.
All logs signed tm/ww NZ

Today I was on a multi-purpose mission to Marlborough. Firstly, I wanted to find enough caches to collect the Ancient Wonders of the World and secondly, just have a good time driving around the region finding as many of the caches that have popped up since my last visit as I can before I ran out of puff. Whew! Found on my second attempt to search for this cache today, after a nudge in the right direction from the CO. Don't know how I missed that the first time I was here. TFTC, Biggles.

A nice find in a great spot - TFTC!

Sorry for the late Log..We had forgotten to Log it in when we got home from our wee trip away..
A clever hide..TFTHC

Creative

Nice spot.

Nice spot. Quick park and grab

Easy find

Found with judithrichards. Good cache. Nice wee area

Nice easy find thank you . With Crickethawea

Found it with gloves was

Cool wee hiding spot. Didn’t bring a pen

Such a good hiding spot!

#7826. My final day in Blenheim for this trip. Came over on the weekend to spend a few days doing the TMGT caches and then attended a work meeting. Heading back home today but had time to grab a few quick caches before I fly out. This was the last cache for my current Marlborough expedition. Now need to get to the airport. So parked nearby and raced over to GZ. Luckily I spied the hiding spot immediately. Signed the logbook and returned the cache where found. Thanks Kiwimyki for the cache.

Great found

thanks to meme3 for helping me find this one quickly

Sneaky little hide. Soon had it sussed. TFTC

#17573. A nice quick find (just as well as it was getting late in the day and energy levels were flagging). TFTC.

Day 2 of StreetWalkerNZ and my 3 day weekend trip to Blenheim. Today we are caching in and around Blenheim, Renwick and surrounds, where puzzles and the occasional drive by are the focus.
I think we have found just 1 of the Blairich Project caches - the drive by at the start of the walk. so now this makes number 2. TFTC.

Sweet wee find TFTC

I was playing paintball yesterday, (on company time, on company pay - how cool is that?) and tore my thigh muscle. Two weeks ago I shred a leg cycling over a cliff, this time I rip the other one dodging paintballs. So I am at home resting it up. Can walk really badly now, a big improvement over yesterday - could not walk at all. And getting stir crazy. And since my cellphone says I should get a cache today maybe I should do some exercise.
Cycling is low impact, and getting the blood pumping is probably good for the injury, so I cycle out here. So much for getting the blood pumping, it must have been the slowest cycling in years, leg hurts the whole time. Get to GZ - by the way I had attempted this cache before, but aborted as I was not comfortable re visibility. This time everyone has their curtain closed to keep the heat out, so no worries in I g... hobble. After 15 seconds of hunting for the cache I find it - lying on the crass beside me (can't bend down easily, so doing all the hunting while sitting). Signed the log and put it back where seemed sensible.
Back on the bike - tail wind, nice - to rest my leg up. Cycling out here might not have been the good idea I thought it might be!

I had a spare 5 minutes before an appointment nearby, so called in for this quick easy bonus urban Blarich cache. Cheers Kiwimykl

Back for another look for this one that was missing last time I checked. Not sure who is grabbing some of these Marlborough caches but thanks for the CO for replacing it anyway. A nice different hide style here and soon located .
I've decided to sweep up all of the extra caches that I'd saved for other such-days in the future as my improveable 4-days but that vortex chase is pretty much over. So the 4 remaining caches have been found over the weekend and that's the end of that. until the next challenge. or target. or whatever.

Owner maintenance carried out. Cache is ready to go again.

Cache replaced on the way to work this morning. All god to go again.

A cache check after an unlogged DNF showed this cache is missing. Will replace IDC.

Great find

Great find

My cousin is up from Christchurch with her family for a football tournament and wanted to go out caching. We took DevastatorM as well. After showing them some cool ones we had already found, it was time to get some for me. The bird boxes were easy and close to town and this one is too! TFTC.

Cool spot

Checked out various possibilities before alighting on the correct spot. TFTC

Clever but very busy. TFTC

On a raid from the West today with bumandworker.
We found v1 together on a previous Raid.
Today Bum found it while I was examining a decoy rock.
Each time we pass this street we recall our visits to a certain cache rich valley up the Awatere.
TFTC

we did recall the previous cache, but like this one better.
thanks for setting it up.

2nd one nailed it

It didnt take too long to spot the cache, definitely a spot worthy of a cache. Thanks Kiwimykl

#8954

What a great spot! I had a near nightmare at Leafmare when I spotted the pull apparatus, as it looked like quite a collection of legs and wings.
Thank you for the cache, I’ve never noticed this lovely street before.

After a DNF in May, I had a sudden wave of thought to seek out a couple of DNF's late after work tonight.
Quick easy find in the cloak of darkness with the torch.
Cheers Kiwimykl

A quick find while grabbing a few on the way home from work.
It was all quiet here and the light was fading a bit, so perfect conditions for finding this cache in its little hidey-hole. All good, TFTC Kiwimykl.

Hidden in plain sight alright! TYFTC

Cache position readjusted so future finders can retrieve.

Please read and comply with the hint.

can’t reach

Couldn’t retrieve but sighted.

Quick find. Cache easily retrieved. TFTC.

I was purusing my cache finds recently and in the process came across the CO's log after my find and feel it needs a response. I can't remember if I read the hint or not but I do know I wouldn't intentionally put the cache back so it could not be retrieved. I'm sorry if that was the result because I do my best to replace caches carefully. In saying that I have made several mistakes and likely will again. I couldn't 100% remember this hide so called by as I was passing today and there's no way with holding onto the attachment that the cache can be put too far in.

Hidden in plain sight. TFTC

Twelfth find

Cache check carried out at 2230hrs this evening. Cache in place within 75mm of where originally placed. It would appear that the previous 'finder' did not read the hint and the previous DNFer did not bring the recommended tool which is required if the previous finder did not read the hint and replace as suggested. Unfortunately, I did not have a suitable implement either but will try to remember to take one tomorrow night.

Update 24 June 2019: The previous finder assures me that she replaced the cache as found as I would expect an experienced cacher to do. Which brings me to the conclusion that someone else has looked for it in the meantime and pushed it back too far, didn't have anything to rectify the situation and was too embarrassed to log the mistake and bring it to my attention.

My apologies for casting aspersions on Isis58's character.

Spent ten minutes searching around the wooden features at the GZ, but the GPS was indicating the South-east side of the intersection, in an open grass area.
Unable to find this time!

Memories of a sneaky first on this one's predecessor as I pulled up so was surprised at the direction I needed to head this time. Round and round the feature and because it was a place I didn't want to loiter too long I was about to give up when I spied a little something - and there was the cache. Wandered off with it to sign it then replaced as found. TFTC # 13,771

QEF, TFTC

Sounds like a sci fi setting [:}] TFTC

I must say I initially had reservations about caches being placed on power boxes, then I became a bit blasé about it but when you think about it, had something gone wrong the results could have been somewhat embarrassing to say the least. Anyway, it's been rather handy that caches have been archived and new ones have appeared instead - - - all helps the searchers' tallies. TFTC .
