Out doing a loop walk after a days work up the coast. Thought I might have to continue on as a couple of dog walkers were lingering in the vicinity but walked off as I approached. Quick find and sign. Thanks for the cache.

Out for a river loop walk and thoroughly enjoyed this detour for the cache. Many thanks YellowFoxes for all your great caches around this area.

(9902) After a dawn Happy New Year event I decided to make the most of a lovely day to go up the coast from Welly to grab some more caches. Today I decided to walk the "lap" of the park. A nice quick find was had.Thanks YellowFoxes for taking the time to place the cache and for bringing me here.

#15,163. We enjoyed the short wander in Otaihanga, Paraparaumu. The GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Quick find. The cache was in good 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.*---### LET US HAVE A BLOCK PARTY!!! ###On **May 3rd, 2025**, we will be celebrating 25 years of geocaching in **Rotorua, New Zealand** with a special **Block Party** event.

Out for a walk with woolwood9.We hadn't prepared for the cold wind very well and were rather chilly.Still a good cache to be found so we couldn't say no to that!SL *tm/ww NZ*

Quick stroll along the track to get a couple of caches and to give tmann421 his daily rehabilitation walk.Nice quick find here, nice to see some bigger containers. Signed log tm/ww NZTFTC

Had a few errands to run, so decided to take a detour to find a cache. This was the one. Parked a fair way away, so could have a decent walk to get here. Found cache straight away, with everything nice and snug inside. Loving all the caches and great vibes from these COs. Thanks YellowFoxes

Took the bike out this afternoon to pick up two or three caches in this area. Decided to head to the ones furthest away from the expressway cycleway first. It was another YellowFoxes hide with a difficulty level of 1.0. When I logged one of theirs just yesterday I said Im becoming very wary of these YellowFoxes caches ... [Even with a low difficulty rating] I seem to make hard work of finding them! So I didnt know what to expect with this one. The coords took me to a spot where, much to my relief, I managed to spot it almost immediately! Things are definitely starting to look up! #7536. TFTC.

Some who wander aren't lost but just temporarily geographically embarrassed - not me today. A quick find of the nicely presented cache. Saw a beautiful rainbow on the way home. TFTC

Found with exodus722 on a walk and ride around this area. TFTC.

Quick find thanks. Didnt bring a pen so added photo of the log.

Loving the birdlife in this area. Thanks for bringing us this way. All good at GZ and TFTC.

Today was a day, and for reasons... I needed to get out and about and Geocaching was the answer. So I did just that. My decision was further reinforced by finding, amost several others, a cache that contained a bunch of motivational quotes. One was "Today I choose to be happy" which was definitely the focus of today. Here was one of the geocaches I found.I love the name of this cache, and long before I discovered Geocaching I would often adopt this mantra as I wandered the planet. I also very much enjoyed the wee box of motivational quotes here, it was exactly what I needed today. Thank You.---Thanks to YellowFoxes for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

Spent today catching up on some recently published caches in the region after having been away for a while. Did a double-take at the cache name, but after simplifying it, yes it does make sense. With a GPSr in my hand I may sometimes be wandering and lost, but at least I know exactly where I'm lost! A quick find here with a bit of a geotrail to lead me to the correct spot. Signed log, TFTC

A straightforward find. Thanks for placing the cache

Out for a walk today with the geo dog Southridge Laird of Kinlochaline (Lochie). Today, we will walk the river trail down one side of the river and back up the other side to the swing bridge. This is the first of 3 caches hidden by Yellowfoxes in this area that we have targeted for this walk. Cache #3 of 3 today. This area is just too much for the geo dog, so he's now on the lead and tied to a fence while I search for the final cache of the day. Followed the hint, and the cache was soon in hand. Have taken the 'travel bug' left by 'KingSportS' to place in another cache and continue its journey. TFTC. It'll be about another 50 minutes to walk back home just in time for lunch.

A pleasant stroll along the trail this afternoon. Afew caches found and a couple of Kms towards this months target. No worries at GZ. Didn't get lost today either. TFTC

The GPS initially counted down to zero while I was still standing in the middle of the path. O..kay. So I had a look in the most likely nearby place first and found the cache much more exposed than I was expecting. And rather generously sized for a "small" and bordering on a regular. Indeed one of the containers inside was an oft-found small. After eventually finding the log (which is labelled as such but I didn't read it initially!) I was able to sign while relaxing in the sun. TFTC.

Not lost, not gone before, not a problem. A pleasant walk and an easy find.The council has grand plans for this park; but in the present climate it may be some time before they come to pass. Here's hoping though!

Awesome cache! And a beautiful day to wander

We added to the swag and dropped a tb

I enjoyed a short walk this afternoon to check out these two new caches. This one was a very quick find. Thanks very much for the cache.

A nice quick find and the log book had inspirational comments. Thanks for the cache YellowFoxes. Nice one.
