A definite favourite from me, super cool idea

Thanks, neat hiding place

Tock my son with me he was super happy he found it first

Nice idea! Thanks for the cache

Quick easy find while out on a bike ride. TFTC

Hiding away where nobody sees. I was visiting a friend in the nearby retirement village, so it made sense to get this cache. Especially as it was a dot day. Thanks for the cache Popmac.

Went to collect a online purchase and decide to have a look around for caches and saw this one close by.Nice park and grab. TFTC

Ha ha, nicely done Popmac! Found on a morning bike ride, enjoying blue sky and sunshine. The logbook is in good condiiton.

Stopping in Palmy for 3 nights on our Chch to Auckland roadie. Love the new name and pleased it will stop the confusion with Palmerston of the S Island. I guess it's not going to be Papaoea any time soon! Thanks Popmac

Pulled up 1m from gz.Mrs p hopped out and had a quick find.Fun cacheThank you Popmac for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 4890

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are on the road again, up "North" to visit family an friends. Today was a bit of a cruise around Palmerston North, weather reasonable, good enough to get on my bike for a couple of hours caching!Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

A second find for the day and a recent listing to swoop up. Glad I brought my pen etc etc, nice and easy here, thanks B.A weekend trip to palmy was planned for Saturday, a nice catch up with the grandchildren and their parents as the weather promised to be the better of the two days. The kids are just getting over a cold so not that lively today but we had a nice walk alongside the Manawatu river and a nice chat. Afterwards we headed out to Kelvin Grove to snoop on their new house purchase, and make a find nearby.

Thanks for this, we live nearby and my kids loved it!

Back in place to be found. Please place log sheet as found, and also do not screw up too tight.

Thanks Popmac for this cool new cache that was not too far from home... Sadly I forgot to put the Coffee Time Event into my calendar but hopefully I'll be at the next one TNLNSL TFTC

Moved for repairs.

Saw this cache was published but never went out to find it. Going out for dinner and it was quite close to home do decided to grab this new cache. Tweezers may be required for this cache but luckily we made it work. Thanks popmac for this newer cache. Name fits well! I wrote in the log and placed the cache back as found. TFTCSL, Thanks Popmac for this Traditional cache. Popmac , !Logged on 8 October 2023 at 6:32PM#734th find

This delightful cache was a quick easy find, but although, frustratingly, we could see the log clearly, we were unable to access it. We suspect the last finder doesn't know their own strength. The cache owner kindly gave us permission to log it as found. A favourite from us. TFTC

Joint [FTF] With other from the event. TFTC

Joint {FTF} after another enjoyable CO hosted event. TFTC

After just making it to Popmac's event "Coffee Time October" we were very fortunate to receive this new cache information and a Joint FTF opportunity. So off we set straight after and the neat little hide was quickly found. It was a surprise, although it shouldn't have been - made us smile. Thanks for the bonus {FTF} and thanks for the cache Popmac. Gets a fav.

A joint [FTF] with the rest of the event goers after Popmacs A Coffee Time event. Out and about exploring Palmie with barefootguru today. We found this in the hands of Phronimos on our arrival. Quick chat and we hear the calling of more caches. Thank you Popmac.

Joint {FTF}I was in Palmy to help celebrate a friend's 40th birthday, which gave me the opportunity to pop along to an event to catch up with lots of people both very familiar, and some less so.I wasn't expecting to find a new cache being released today, so it was a pleasant surprise to be told about this cache.Thanks for putting it out for us, and the surprise of the cache container. Gets a FP

{FTF} Jointly with others. Out and about with Flowerydaze, Taybee and Taybee nz after Popmac's event in Palmy. Quite a small crowd gathered when we arrived for this one. Thanks for placing this one here Popmac.

Found with the crowd after the Coffee Time event earlier today. In my entire caching career I think I have only once seen this style hide container! And yet stories of this abound. Surprised I don't see it more often!Thanks for the {FTF}.

#14,196. Joint {FTF} and first day find. It was announced at the Coffee Time October event nearby that this bonus geocache was going to be published in conjunction with the event today. So at the conclusion of the event, we made our way to Te Matai Road in Whakarongo, Palmerston North for this park and grab. GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Relatively quick find. The cache was in excellent condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.Thanks for the geocache placement, and for bringing us to this site, and .T h a n k s. .f o r. .t h e. .c a c h e..M a u r u u r u. .k o e. .n u i. .a t u. .h o k i. .t e. .k e t e r o k i.

Easy retrieval by hubby after we attended the local meet and greet with coffee & muffin today. Nice that the CO offered a joint (FTF) for those who attended his event. Thanks Popmac for placing.

I was at the event by Popmac in Palmerston north and this was released for a joint (FTF) which was a bonus to the event at Cafe 116 . It is very aptly named cache and it was quickly found before the rain set in so I was rather fortunate about that . I took nothing and left nothing from this new cache . It is a clever hide and worth a fav point from me . I look forward to a new series of caches which I was told about which may be a little similar to this hide . Many thanks for this new cache and an opportunity for a first to find . Alway grateful for these .
