Heritage Trail - Airport Hokitika, South Island, New Zealand

I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

The object has been moved and the cache is now missing.

Will replace.

Had all three boys on hands and knees searching rocks each to no avail. We even looked at photos for clues. Either terrible eyesight (could be, given three males 9yrs and under lol) or it’s been taken.

Awesome first find, thank you. I didn't realise I needed a pen so, I couldn't leave my details

Day 7 on our holiday in New Zealand. Today our tour is going from Fox Glacier to Punakaiki. We also visited this traditional cache, found it, and signed the logbook.

When Albi mentioned about his work commitments at Fox Glacier, as always we decided to make a trip out of it, but this time its a long over due overnight one. Spending quality time together, enjoying the drive, picking up some caches, small walks, and also cherry on top, a Heli ride woo-hoo.
After searching 2 other rocks, we found the cache from its hiding spot under the 3rd rock. TFTC.

Another great find , nice n quiet around here

3rd Rock from the sun! ...in the afternoon TFTH

Logbook very wet but we managed to sign it. TFTC

Nice quick find. Thank you. The log is wet and we had nothing to replace it with. Good idea having it inside another container, perhaps a small plastic bag to pit the log in.

#17831. I let Troodles do the searching (I was busy doing something in the car; can't remember what). Seem to take her longer than it should have. TFTC.

After spending the morning at the Hokitika gorge then Lake Kaniere, StreetWalkerNZ and I had a cuppa and a wee rest back at our accommodation before heading into Hokitika for lunch and more caching .
Haven't been to Hokitika airport before, hoped to see a plane land or take off but no luck here. Did find the cache though - it was an easy find once I was in the right spot, but took a few minutes searching the wrong spots first . TFTC.

.We are off walking along the Heritage Trail. quick find but container wet. Log ok though. Cheers

Waitangi Day - Ruatapu to Ross cycle trail, and exploring around Hokitika today.

Making a long weekend out of Waitangi Day exploring the West Coast with Zara Toby, Bullertrout and Bro. Its Waitangi Day today. Exploring Hokitika, Ross, Hokitika George, Lake Mahinapua, Lake Kaniere areas today. Great time and visited some amazing places..

Found on a three day caching journey over to the West Coast. We really enjoyed the challenging hours spent in solving the many puzzle caches and now the signing off on the log books. We had a great spell of weather as we traveled 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 traveling from Oamaru to the West Coast, grabbed heaps of caches, and had a lot of fun. Many Thanks Bitsprayer

A nice quick find thanks. Last find for the day.

Its a lovely weekend to visit the Coast. Time for some biking and caching, and driving home, after a whistle stop tour.

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

Found this on a nice walk with the kids. Thanks!

Small children are handy

We are introducing a new family with kids to geo caching and the kids are loving this trail. Thanks heaps.

Easy find

FTF with Hazedarus.
We had returned to Nelson a couple of days before these new caches were published so knew we would have a nice adventure when we came back, a combination of walks and park and grabs.
This was our last find for the day. We have been down here before and always happy to come again when there is a cache to find.
Thank you maitahisteve.

FTF With Holymu. A beautiful morning, ten caches on the wish list and nine of those possible FTF. A few new caches appeared along the heritage trail since we last visited so we were back in the hunt. This was our last cache for the day and left us with a perfect score. One STF and nine FTF. Thank you maitahisteve
