Find #7118
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.}

Had to scan around a bit for the tell tale.

Yay - first time cacher found this one

I investigated more than one small mound before I spotted the pile of stones on the first one that I looked at.

#22190. Once we got to #4 the track was starting to look a bit overgrown, so decided to park just across from #4 and continue on foot. This was the first find out our walk. Quick find here. TFTC.

StreetWalkerNZ and I had never been to Bortons Pond before, but now there are heaps of caches here, it was a must do while we are staying in the area.
We parked at #4 but there were a couple of lads camping close to GZ, so we decided to leave the find for the way back. Walked from there to here, where SW sniffed out the find. TFTC.

No problems here. Quick find and sign

This took ages to find. Resorted to the hint to realise that wasn't a lot of use, as there is nothing but here. Turns out it was a bit closer to the road and further along than my GZ. TFTC.

Continuing the detour.

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. Now down a the major side road.

Cheers for the cache.

That is a small mound.

I enjoyed being driven around here to park and grab the caches.

Apologies for the cut and paste of the logs for this series.

In Canterbury for a 25th wedding anniversary and am caching with GraciesGPSfun as well.
Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Bitsprayer.

On the road with NZ_B, graciesGPSfun and Nosynel. Quick find. We're finding the road interesting as the car beeps constantly about the road width. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for hiding this cache Bitsprayer I appreciate it. Girls are getting a bit silly. Jude_E made the find.

I went too far to the wrong mound but KR had it under control. Thanks Bitsprayer

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee drive to Invercargill and back. Today we made it as far as Oamaru. It was overcast all day.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

The number of caches here has grown since I last visited, couldn't resist coming back especially with a rare weekend off. TFTC!

Tftc

Another smiley claimed today in perfect condition

A bit further along and I am glad I have managed to get this far but the traction is still there and the wet patches are short. So another one successfully completed.
A journey like this is really enjoable.
So different to P&G's
Thanks
