Day 19 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and today we supposed to bike ride from Arrowtown to Queenstown but the weather prediction was pretty ordinary. Instead we drove to Arrowtown and had a lookabout, did a couple of multis, an AdLab and some traditional offerings. Then we ran out of parking time and toured a little.Thanks for contributing to our amazing holiday Wilbywarrior
Day nineteen of our epic New Zealand Adventure with The Morris.Staying in Queenstown, with a crappy weather forecast we moved out the bike ride to Sunday, and drove up to Arrowtown. Lots in interesting places to see and just a few caches done.I kept thinking it was barefoot tunnel as we approached!A short walk, and once we had the right altitude, a quick find.Thanks, Robmc.
I parked at the designated coordinates and then headed down the path. Unfortunately, this was not the right way so I ended up at the river where there was a jet boat taking passengers for a joy ride.Back at my Geovan, I spoke to the drivers of two vehicles waiting for the now sodden jet boat riders, and they pointed to the right track. I was too tired to walk to GZ, so they also told me to park right at GZ (like the CO said). With a quick u turn, I got to the right spot very near to GZ.I had no trouble finding the cache, but was a bit disappointment that there wasn't a For Sale like at other Barfoot real estate. TFTC.
Cache found during the magnificent mountain bike ride between Arrowtown and Gibbston Valley on very beautiful and impressive suspension bridges. The landscapes with colors of the automn are superb.In: 2016 TB Airplane Road Racer Thanks Wilbywarrior for the cache
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Hint much better than GPS
Today we biked the easy trail from Arrowtown to the Kawerau Bridge - not so easy on the way back in the scorching sun. It's an ingenious route, and this beautiful underpass certainly deserves a cache!
On a cycle ride from Arrowtown out to the bungy jumpers A very busy pathway, a cyclist had a bit of strife coming through the tunnel, a chain or something had come off? luckily for me no bike troubles so far.Happy to find and be signing the log with rebel98
Found on an enjoyable bike ride, sunshine and golden trees! Thanks Wilbywarrior for this straight forward hide - didn't want to hold up my friends.
We stopped above initially but we could not make sense of the hint so I walked further down the hill and the hint became much clearer. There were a few more people on this part of the track and we seem to be going in the wrong direction. Cache was safe and sound.
I'm walking today as my bike has a horrible knocking noise - think it needs some attention. I left first while my buddies got their bikes organised. They caught me up again here but they found the cache. Lots of bikers on the track today
Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. Cheers, Cympull.
A bit hotter than we expected it to be today & the shade of the tunnel, even for a few seconds was welcome. We went straight to the cache. Thanks for placing this one.
I walked in from a nearby carpark mainly to go to an AdLab location but this one got in my way.
Cheers for the cache.

No cell phone coverage here so put my geocaching hat on. Found after looking in a couple of spots. TFTC

What a great day for caching. No bike so I’m walking. Funnily enough I keep coming across the same cyclists at each point I’m stopping off at. I will one day get on a bike & cycle this track.
Quick easy find. TFTC

Tftc! Never stopped to admire the tunnel. Thanks for a new fun cache beautiful sunny spring day
I love the slate rocks around here. They are all so beautiful. Was quicker to locate than I had anticipated. Cheers for the hide
Out and about enjoying the hidden gems of our country. On a weekend out with DownSouthInv, AnnieLin, AbbyKitt.
Homeward bound from a great weekend we thought to stop off and try for this cache. Located easily, with MrF staying on the road side, as I didn't save before going down. Luckily not too many cyclists to dodge.
All good. Tftc

Eventually found it. Look further down the path towards the tunnel than gps says.
A nice quick find thanks. What a great and safe way to cross the road!
Ms_KR and I are on a wee South Island break. Today we cruised around Wanaka, and off to Queeenstown. It poured with rain for a couple of hours but when it came time to leave the campground it miraculously stopped! Lucky us.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Biked from Arrowtown to the Kawarau bridge today in lovely autumn weather. Nice to see plenty of autumn foliage although it’s still early days for some. Picked up a few caches on the return leg. This was a quick find. #4837. TFTC.
Love riding this track! Quick find after using the hint as I was about 4-5m away. TFTC

Cords a little off but clue and name helped us in the right direction nice little container in a good spot, found with mother f TFTC
FTF! Awesome! We can’t believe that these caches haven’t been found up to this point but the opportunity for us came early this morning and after a nice walk along the track, the cache was quickly located. TFTC, a fav point from us.
indiboo was with me when cache was placed. She has signed the logbook but FTF is still available.
