Easy find during my 100km bike ride todayTftc

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.

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!

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

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.

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 Smile

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

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.
