Awesome hide just off the track

Thank you

So good

Obvious tree was a helpful hint. Good find. We call it the elbow tree. TFTC

Fun one to find

Parked overnight at the Runanga Workingmen's club and decided to head out and do this neat trail here, GPS was jumping around a bit but quickly found the right spot, TFTC

Signal all over the show, but the hint was very useful & as soon as we got behind the right tree the hide was obvious.

It was taking too long

Found on a five day geocaching road trip to the Nelson, Buller, and West Coast regions. We travelled many kms, by car bike and by foot and found many great caches and explored many areas. Thanks to the various CO's for the caches sites we visited that made our trip so great. Thank for the caches.

On a Week road trip to Nelson,Buller and Greymouth. lots of driving and walking, plus biking, lots of great caches many thank to all the CO"s - Bitsprayer

Seeing that the rain hasn't started yet this morning I decided to walk to the Coal Creek Falls locating and signing off the caches on the way.Loving the walk in.Cheers for the cache, Gracie7 + Mum.

Found with Kiwimykl. Refer to his log for details.TFTC gracie7 + Mum

Found with NZDi. Full log to follow.

Found it

Took a while to find this one, almost gave up, but walk a bit further and bang, there it was. Both container and logbook were in good condition. Thanks for placing this here.

I actually did this track just after the caches were published, but thinking I had already found all the caches I didn't check for new ones. I will have to settle for the third find. A drizzly day but still nice enough for a walk. No one else on the track today. Nice quick find. TFTC

FTF With Holymu. It was no hardship to walk this track twice within a few days. It's close to home, peaceful, pretty and has an awesome destination at the turnaround point. It proved that the cache went AWOL and there was a quick intervention by the CO. For a number of reasons we couldn't get back for another look until today and were very happy to have a FTF. Thank you gracie7 + Mum

FTF with Hazedarus.
A return visit to Coal Creek Falls today had us looking for this cache which was missing when we walked this track last week. This is one of our favourite walks and enjoyable at any time even without the added incentive of a cache to find.
The track was quite a bit busier today than last time but there was no one around while we searched for the cache which Hazedarus duly found while I was looking elsewhere.
Thank you gracie7 + Mum.
