Out with woolwood9 after attending the MEGA in Dunedin.Slowly heading back to Christchurch to fly home.Pleased that the weather was looking good for today!We enjoyed the drive / walk around on the way! SL *tm/ww NZ* or *tm/ww*.*Thanks for the fun cache, soon found.* Great area, good caches!

Thanks

There's a lot of stumps about but only this one counts. All good. Thanks

I was worried that some recent tree murdering activity had disturbed this, but luckily everything is fine.TFTC!

Found it

Took a little longer

We bypassed "the Decoy" as although it is probably warm enough we would be wet for the next four hours. Maybe one day.

We found this cache quickly. The road here was very marked with judder bars which made biking very bumpy so we biked on the grass instead. We saw a white heron in the pond here.

Very nice heron nearby

Found as per the hint - very accurate! TFTC

Find #7105
Found on March 15, 2023

We are from Abilene, Texas, USA and have come to New Zealand to visit with a friend. We plan on going after different Cache Types while here. We will also find geocaches while going sight seeing.

Thank you, Bitsprayer for placing this cache for all to find. We sign log sheets either as Love Cachers or LCers.

Driving over 50 miles to have...
Rusty barbed wire ripping through your clothes...
Curious rattlesnakes that come out of nowhere...
Itchy mosquito bites on every inch of your body...
A 40 mph wind gust blowing sand into your ears, nose and mouth...
Cactus needles getting stuck deep in your hands, arms and legs...
Thorny Mesquite trees scratching you up from head to toe...
Some or all of these things on a hike through 101° heat...
To sign your name or trade a toy...
SOUND LIKE FUN TO YOU?

It does to us, we're geocachers in West Texas! - {Taken from a Greater Abilene Association geocoin.}

Not stumped on this one.

Saw two stumps. Got the right one first. Thanks.

#22179. We had more luck catching what we were after here then the fisherman. TFTC.

StreetWalkerNZ and I had never been to Bortons Pond before, but now there are heaps of caches here, it was a must do while we are staying in the area.
There was a fisherman parked near GZ so I let him know what we were up to (he had heard of geocaching before) while SW got stuck in and found the cache. The fisherman left before we returned to the car - no luck for him this morning. TFTC.

We parked here and e-biked around the loop. Nice to have a bit of shade. TFTC

After a hiatus of 6 years I'm back at Borton's Pond locating and signing off caches.

Definitely no need to have a 4WD to complete this new series.

Cheers for the cache.

Good area

Another quick find.

I'm enjoying the park and grab geocaches today.. This is a nice area to explore.

On the road with NZ_B, graciesGPSfun and Nosynel. Quick find. Thanks.

Looked further and spotted a likely spot.
In Canterbury for a 25th wedding anniversary and am caching with GraciesGPSfun as well.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Bitsprayer.

A meander home taking on the inland route. What a lovely place on a lovely day. Would never have known about this pond if it wasn't for geocaching TFTC

On a roll here in a new area for us. Thanks Bitsprayer.

A nice quick find, easily spotted as we walked up. I remember visiting the area a few years back, and finding a few caches. There are more now! Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee drive to Invercargill and back. Today we made it as far as Oamaru. It was overcast all day.

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

The number of caches here has grown since I last visited, couldn't resist coming back especially with a rare weekend off. TFTC!

Tftc nice area

Yup found the stump and the cache in excellent condition

A little side trip to a nice area. TFTC!!

Found thanks

Found it, signed log with a stick and gum leaves as was an impromptu find. Will resign in pen on my next dog walk!
Thanks for rehiding this one I never could find it when it was Pine and Gums (I think)

Took a while but it shouldn't have. My reception was not working well here. Finally had it in hand. TFTC Bitsprayer

Parked up here for this one then walked to others letting dogs loose. Tftc

Nice to find some more in here.

Nice quick find on a walk with doggo

Thanks for rehiding this one

Found after a short detour after the afternoon trip to Omarama . Cache all good. TFTC

Thanks
