I'm LOST - Ahimate Reserve Dog Park (Manawatu) Awapuni, North Island, New Zealand
By CharlotteAndJordy on 11-May-22. Waypoint GC9TKBQ

Kids had heaps of fun finding this one.

You might be lost, but now you are found. I can understand why you may be lost as you are not in the right tree.

No luck today despite lack of leaves

#200 this one was very cool as I havent seen one like this before TFTC

Tftc

Great hide, we're soaking wet now in the long grass tftc

This game is a "gps game" not an "I know where that is game" as I found myself miles away from where I wanted be and where I thought it would be hahaha. Then I decided there was an obvious choice. No. Follow the gps! Winter made an easier find.Loved the cache.

Great cache!

Found after wandering in circles lolLOGBOOK IS FULL!!

Easy find

Found whilst walking dog

Last of three caches in a quick after-work walk. All three were nicely crafted, hidden in logical places and I even got 2 trackables! I haven't seen trackables in a while. This was a really enjoyable short walk, co-ords spot on and a fun container. Gets an FP from me.

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are off on another North Island tour, visiting family, art galleries and caches. Today we drove and cached around Palmerston North, and so far the weather has been pretty good!Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

So slay

Checked on today. All good here, track is a bit more overgrown than it was when the cache was placed!

Evening walk tonight with hubby to find some caches over this way, gz all quiet which made for an easy find, thanks for the placement & the neat caches.

Over this side of town waiting for one of the Jr Cachers to finish and heard through the Facebook group that there was a souvenir on offer so decided to grab some caches. Should have brought the bike as the track looked like a bit of fun. Checked a couple of spots before finding the interesting container. Thanks for the cache and a FP from us.

Tytc, great easy find.

TYTC! Cute easy find, love the canister!

Thanks. Fun finding.

Thanks

Good one, thanks!

Thanks, we got lost and we found it!!

Thanks for the fun lost walk in the woods

Stayed in the van last night at Ahimate Park. Raining this morning when we woke, so a brief brisk walk to pick up this cache. Quickly spotted (thankfully), signed and returned, then a quick trot back as the rain got heavier. All good in cache, tftc!

Cool find...squirrels would be tricked

Awesome find

Cool little container

It was acorn

we went out on our bikes today while we had good weather and to locate a few of the newer caches that were outstanding . and this was one of them for me . The container is very similar to one that i own and it was soon located , signed and returned . thank you for this cache I took nothing and left Nothing .

Kool find loved the design of the container it blends in well

Very cool little find. Found with Te Kainga. Signed log and returned TFTC

Out on a bike ride catching up on local caches. My approach to this one was not the easiest and getting closer I had to get off my bike and avoid some blackberry. However on arriving at GZ I had a good view of it for a quick find. A neat container, thanks Cand J for this hide. It's a great park for kids, dogs, walkers and cyclists, and geocaching!

Easy find, definitely wouldn't drive anyone nuts coming round a corner. Tftc

TFTC

SOOO CUTE! Love the container - TFTC

Out and about with tmann421 today.
Catching up on some of the new(ish) caches in the PN area.
Thanks to the cache owners for all the efforts in their hides

Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.
Really appreciate the cache owners effort putting this container out.

*Nice drive / walk around*
WOW lots of dry-ish mud from recent floods. Good container.
All logs stamped: *tm/ww NZ*

Great find while out biking the river tracks. Tftc

Nice easy find. Clever little cache. Tftc sl

Nice walk through the bush

Brisk walking to try and limit mt wetm=ness and I was soon near here. A few circuits of the copse and the host revealed it's treasure, nice container from this team, again. Cheers C&J.

Not much caching so far in 2023 and conserving options for future target dates/challenges etc. The release of the Viking hordes a few days ago increased 'local' options so I felt confident to start to dip into nearer options when they arose. Today mrs c had a few minor chores in Palmy and consented for me to head off for an hour and a half whilst she did her retail thing. The rain was pouring but once you're wet, you're wet - right? A cheeky quick 7 finds and one DNF and soon time to collect my precious cargo again. Cheers all COs.

Nice find here this morning while it's quiet, TFTC

Very cute container. Great agility course for my dog

Back in my home town, part of a Christmas tour of friends and family. Timed this part to be here for the New Year's events. Anyhoo, I was up at my normal time, which is not the normal time for the rest of the household, so I headed out the door. Step one is to check on one of my caches. Oh, darn - a tree has fallen on it!! Okay, that's my homework for this afternoon, to whip up a replacement and park it nearby - pleny of possibilities without having to rejig the coordinates.
And since I am here, I might as well walk a bit further and find this cache. Which was a surprisingly easy find, as I am using my phone and it sometimes has problems under trees.
And yes, lost indeed! What is this doing here?!? Which means I know who the hider is... YUS!! SCORE!! I don't know why I bothered to check!
Thanks for the hide
Found two more caches and got back to... well, let's call it my second home. Only one other up! Man, these guys can sleep in!!

Great hide

I opted to go for the full exercise package and went by 'shanks pony'. Mr rattll dropped me off at the Linton end of the track and I walked to the He Ara kotahi bridge and then along the other side back to paneiri park.
This clever little hide was quickly spotted.
Thanks for setting this up

On call this evening so may not be able to cache after work so decided to head out early. Just a couple of muggles and their dogs out at 7am. Enjoyed the walk to GZ and great cache holder. Cache and log all fine. Thanks.

The coordinates are good. Nifty little bike track.

Thanks CharlotteAndJordy for reinventing this cool cache.
Accurate coords but I still went further off track than required because of signs from others traipsing around.
Tracy's eagle eyes soon cracked the case and the was signed

Love this cache it's my favorite one had to think a bit on this one though.

Found with spate and Bad Jelly on a great cycle ride Sunny Saturday afternoon. All in good order. TFTC

A fairly quick find of a cute container after a slight diversion from the main track. TFTC

Found it but forgot my pen will come sign again next time I'm in this area TFTC

A quick find and a good cache.Wrote the log and re-concealed carefully.Found when out on a bike ride with my grandson.Gets a fave from me!TFTC!

Distance from original: 63.7 feet or 19.4 meters.

Cache relocated to avoid being swept away but flooding again

Cache back in play:)

Cache has disappeared, I will reprint soon

Had a look for 10mins or so, no luck for me today but also no muggles so peaceful while searching.
Will return one day with more sets of eyes and maybe a geohound to help...

No sign of it with 5 sets of eyes

Couldn't find today

The sun is out, I've been recovering from being sick, so thought a stroll around would do me good. I don't have a mutt so this is new territory for me. Lots of muggles around enjoying the outdoors. Tftc

Awesome spot and cache, thanks

thanks!

Another trip up to Palmy, and another chance to knock off a few newly published caches.

I don't get down to Panieri Park often, although I fondly remember it for my first ever night cache. Not quite the case this evening, although it was dusk by the time I got here.

There were still quite a few dog walkers around, but not enough to distract my search. A quick find thanks to the precise Hint.

I've seen this type of cache before, and they are notoriously leaky so I hope it's location will offer it a bit more protection. If I were to offer a little advice, I would suggest tethering this cache simply to prevent it going astray should we have a big weather event. Thank for placing this cache

Afternoon bike ride along this side of the river before a surprise afternoon tea for our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Thanks CharlotteAndJordy for the cache.

Out walking with a friend for a much needed catch with their 4 year old canine who enjoys this park. Glad to be able to stop and have a quick find. Favourite given for innovative container, but needs to be made more secure as the area is prone to flooding.

Nice but not waterproof and log is wet TFTC

#11,104. The days are getting shorter. After driving up from Wellington this morning the afternoon is now almost gone and I wanted to find these two newish caches placed in this park before driving back to Welly. So scurried along the paths to GZ. Fortunately the hint helped to narrow this one down. It wasn't where I expected it to be. In fact it was lying on the ground. Nicely crafted container. Anyway it unscrewed fine and the log was still OK to sign. Not sure why JoeyGE0 thought it was damp. Must have got his caches confused. Anyway I placed it back up above ground level. Suggest you tie it on with with string so its hanging and wont get washed away in heavy rain.

Cache checked. Has come free from its moorings so have taken those off and rehidden in same spot but less obvious

Really good cache, well sealed and seems to be very watertight! I love how it's placed, though I can imagine it dropping over time. I haven't explored this park before, so thanks:)

FTF 11.45 am

Saw this one pop up last night but wasn’t going for it then. While doing my chores and stuff this morning, I get the “You found it yet?” call from Yt mid-morning. “It’s not been found yet!”
So as I need to walk Maggie the geohound this beautiful ‘bracing’ morning, I make my way over to here... a bit of a distance from Feilding. Upon arrival I check the status of the cache and see geodatum has beaten me, but only by half an hour.
No matter it really is a beautiful brisk morning for a walk.
No trouble finding the geocache, but it’s not held on by much and comes away in my hand. Signed the log and replaced it as best I could. Sorry for that but the CO will have to call by and secure it better. Did you make it, or purchase it? TFTC

A corn

A nice quick find in a cool little container. Not been in this part of the park before. Tftc. No issues with the container. All seemed good.
