**22,296**Heading home from dropping a puppy off to a new owner, we decided we would clean up this series now that the caches that were missing had been replaced. A nice quick find here this time. TFTC

Out and about to locatete the last of the bison that were MIA last visit. Thanks for rrplacing TFTC.

Recent clearings in the area allowed this Bison to go missing, have replaced in the nearby area which hopefully wont get bulldozed!

Eighth DNF for this series - eek not a good start. Cache Owners to confirm after checking!

Got these along time ago when they were published we got some FTF. I was car sick most of the day so have put logging these on hold just got reminded by the team that I havent logged these yet. So here are my cut and paste logs

DNF today after solving the last few last night, not sure how this was found earlier today as the fenceline has been bulldozed and pushed down the small gully. No frnce ot posts remain at GZ.

Hmm a bit of road works around here. Post has gone?!!

Catching the bison Part 3. A beautiful morning arose and my daughter and the geopooch set off to catch a few more Bison. Certainly a much easier job than just one person. We had a fun morning and managed to get around 20 today before someone had to work almost completed the mighty bison. Been loving the drive down south of home. Might go again tomorrow

Me and Taybee decided to take a 3 day trip up to Taruanga and Auckland to visit family and do some shopping. The first day was enjoyable with us finding some caches around Taihape before the rain came in. Day 2 was spent around auckland getting a cache or 2 in between the rain spells and then Day 3 was spent heading home collecting 50 of the bisons and other caches around the place. Signed as either TB/NZ or T/NZ. TFTC

**taybee** is caching again with **taybee nz** for the dayQuick find here today All in good order, sign log book as **taybee (** *joint sign* **T/NZ** or **taybee / nz )** TFTC Cache was found at **18/09/2024 @ 12:02:00**

Matagouri and I had planned one last attack on the bison roaming the area, with the intention of picking up all of the remaining caches left, including the 'eye' which Matagouri had targeted as his 5000th cache find. The weather forecast wasn't great, but we figured if we got an early enough start, we could potentially finish before the rain set in, which we succeeded in doing with only minutes to spare.Thanks for all of the effort you've put in, in making this great series.No issue's making the find here.

Out on a gray morning with rattll, a final push to complete the Bison series, plus whatever else we can get our hands on! On these back roads, parking can be tricky, even in a little car. Fortunately, many of these caches did have parking reasonably close by, or at least a shoulder on the road. We managed a 100% find rate today, including DNFs from other expeditions, to finish the series off.A quick find here, as per the hint. All good, signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

It is time to move my snail shell from the big smoke to Rotten-rua so that I can corral the bisons ready to recieve my brand.Another bison branded.Cheers for the cache, Reschedule & Kiwi Does Stuff.

Heading away with tmann421 for a couple of days.Spent two half days up here collecting the Bison Series.Found many different hides and traveled roads varying from seal to gravel to windy to narrow.Enjoyed the seriesSigned log tm/ww NZTFTC

Found on a short trip away with woolwood9.Our first day on the ***Bison Trail*** - we started around 4-00pm and stopped for the night just before 10-00pm.No trouble here, got the find then onto the next one. Most quick easy finds, but certainly a few very tricky hides and some took a lot of looking. SL *tm/ww NZ**Thanks for the fun puzzle cache series!*

Saw these come out and big change of plans for Team BOP Big night doing the solves and off the next day to collect the caches. Lots of fun and great to be out with fellow cachers today. Thanks from r setting this mission up much appreciated. TFTC Joint {FTF}

On a mish with the team. (Team BoP) Bern a long time since our last trip together. A great day for it and a fab way to celebrate Matariki. A quick change of plans last night after this series was published. What a team effort!! Joint {Ftf}

TeamBOP planned a long overdue mission to Waikato, but plans suddenly changed overnight when this series was published.Thanks to one member who decided sleep can wait, we had the corrected coords of the complete series ready to go in the morning, so we hit the road early to try grab as many FTF's as we could.We were pleased to grab a [FTF] here.Tftc

{FTF} With / logged as Team BoPI was one date short of completing the Trad a Day / 365 Challenge (GCA73Q3). The 28th of June was my last gap on the calendar, and as luck would have it, fell on Matariki Friday. I had been planning a different mission with the Team, but this Bison Trail dropped conveniently overnight. Plans changed rapidly as we went into puzzling mode - One of our group worked like a machine and churned out solve after solve through the night... Our successes today are largely due to his efforts!Another quick find and first at this turn around point. We even had to stop for traffic Thanks Reschedule. TFTP and TFTC.
