After spending yesterday in the crowds at Mount Cook I was craving some peace and quiet. This set of caches seemed like just the ticket. Dumped the car on the side of the road (is that allowed?) and spent a happy time walking around the route.TFTC!(Signed SQG)

Find #7110
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.}

I use to have a lot of yellow here. Now little is left and a whole lot of green that needs converted to yellow. Went to the wrong post here at first.

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.
