Found red herrings but not cache

Find nice spot

Found a few red herrings, but sadly no cache.

The red herrings we found all need attention, the containers were all rusted.

Looked and found 3 red herrings but unfortunately not the cache. What a beautiful spot to visit.

Yes red herrings everywhere. I spent some time here checking out several posts. Found 4 Red herrings in rusted mint tins but co cache. Bummer..

Day 9, Thursday 27 January - Its Waitangi, Russel via ferry then cruising the back roads to Taupiri Bay and back to KeriKeri. So you ready Lenny?? Lets go!

With time rapidly running out in the month to achieve the Mt Elbrus souvenir and no chance of the planned trip to Auckland for the now postponed Mega, an alternative plan was hatched to round up the few remaining unfound ones on the back road route to Russell.

After a little side detour down to Bland Bay, it was back on the road north and a stop off at this one. Like most cachers before me I soon located quite a few red herrings, but the actual cache eluded me. I did find what I considered to be the most likely spot for it, but a thorough search there yielded nothing. Talking to previous finders at the CITO the next day confirmed I was looking in the right spot, so unless I am totally blind, I think this one may be MIA unfortunately.

Thx anyway for bringing me to a new spot I have never visited.

Wow... That was a quick find and log after finding the proper pole...

Thank you for the cache

1227. 11:44 am. Red herrings indeed. I think we found all of them before finally finding the correct one. A lovely little side jaunt on our journey home. TFT(red herrings and the)C(proper).

Now this deserves a fav point, we found 4 red herons lol the red herons containers lids are really difficult to open due to corrosion though so may be worth replacing next driving through. Awesome little hidden spot we wouldn't normally stop. Our toddler had fun helping us hunt to. Just camping puriri Bay and making a trip to Russell

A fun little cache! Definitely quite a few red herrings around, but eventually spotted the real cache!

Thanks for the fun!

Well I found all of the red herrings before making the find. Definitely an interesting idea for a hide. Some beautiful views getting here from Russell. Thanks for the cache

I think that we found them all....do we get bonus points? TFTC.

I think we found all of them. Do we get extra bonus points. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely spot.

Managed to get only one red herring before the cache was in hand. The idea behind this cache is just brilliant so it gets a fav point. Went for a road trip since there is a souvenir available today. TFTC.

Found after a short search, logging in field, TFTC.

Quick find really lovely area TFTC

While over in Russell having such a lovely lunch at the Duke we decided a wee roadie about the bays would be fun. Was indeed a Red Herrings or two and then BINGO!!! I found it thx. Phew fun time and lovely beach walk here thx.

Looked here the first time I was here but obviously not good enough!!! Thanks for the fun.

Didn't expect to get any ftfs on this trip but yay got this one. I think I found all the red herrings before finding the cache. Worth a fav point

4 red herrings then ran out of time. Will be back! Lots of fun here
