Day 16: Around TaranakiTodays journey took us around the Taranaki Region, where we headed as far south as Cape Egmont before heading up to Pukeiti, and back to New Plymouth for two more parks: Tpare and Pukekura Parks. After that, we searched for the best views of the Maunga from Te Wera Wera Bridge and walked the Coastal Walkway back to the Port. Another truly productive day, and thanks for all the caches around the Taranaki Region. (End of the cut and paste bit)Heres the specific log for this cache: I thought this would be a random cache along the way, but this turned out to be a really good one. Very nice construction and hide here, and I would have missed it if not for all the praise in the logs. TFTC!

Once again matagouri asked me to give him directions for getting to the event today, and once again I managed to sneak in one more cache before getting thereA little bit of tooing and froing and then something of interest was spotted. Thanks for setting up this sneaky hide

Going to today's Stumble Inn event with rattll, when she suddenly directs me down this street and stop. Initially some confusion about the hiding place, then noted something odd. Soon uncovered the clever hide. All good in the container. Tftc!

About time we did a drive by here and find this one! My gps wasnt really cooperating with me at GZ but as I knew it couldnt be over there OR down there I stood back and surveyed the situation. Something jumped out at me right away and I soon had the log in hand. Thanks Juty Bug for a nicely thought out and well constructed cache here. FP for sureDay #151 of our streak and a traditionial dot day ticked off too.

Found this a couple of days ago but as always had forgotten the handy writing stick, so popped back today to make it official. Never like wildlife, so quite relieved that no slaters (or worse) were home today. Great hide. TFTC

Obscured from passing muggles by a parked van. Fooled for a while by the camoued cache. Nice one Juty Bug. A tool could be useful for extracting the log.

08-Jun-22
Noticed this go live last night and considered going for it then as it is near to where I live. However the weather was not very clement and I was a bit lazy so I left it until this morning. It is on one of my walking routes so I went that way today. Getting to GZ I looked around for anything that grabbed my attention. The first attention grabber was a fail but after that I noticed something else and further investigation revealed the cache and the {FTF} opportunity. Thanks for the cache.
