Chasing the bison Part 5.After a hearty meal my daughter and I decided to go out and avenge the DNFs from the bison. We only had three to get so shouldn't have taken too long. How wrong I was. One of them we searched for ages only to go back to the car for a sulk while my daughter searches just a bit wider and bingo she comes running back to the car saying she found it. Hooray. I think I had tried 5 x to get that one. The other finds were easy thanks to the CO replacing missing caches. Yay we have now officially finished the . Big thanks to the COs for their hard work in arranging and placing this mammoth beast. Cheers
Out and about to locatete the last of the bison that were MIA last visit. Located this time, thanks for replacing TFTC.
I was heading down to Rotorua to participate in an epic half-marathon trail race up two and a half mountains in the Whakarewarewa Forest. I decided to make a long weekend out of the trip and spend some time geocaching while I was on holiday. I left Auckland early to get through the city before the Friday morning rush hour traffic started to build up. However, I forgot that SH1 between Kinleith and Tokoroa was closed due to roadworks, so I ended up with a big detour through Rotorua and backtracking to start my second Bison hunt.
Can confirm cache is gone, have replaced, will update coordinates and hint
Eleventh DNF for this series - and final DNF. 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
Chasing the Bison Part 2. After a busy morning the geopooch and I headed out to see if we could catch a few more Bison. It was a thundery afternoon with a few downpours, hailstones and sunshine in between. We headed out to do the tail end of the bison and managed to scoop up another 20 or so. Sadly a couple of DNFs as well. The roads varied from smooth state highways to gravel back roads with some beautiful vistas thrown in to satisfy my nature loving self. Really enjoying this series and am now about half way. Many thanks to the COs for all their hard work. CheersHad a really good look around for this one but no such luck today.
This was one of three DNF's today. I searched high and low, under, beside, within, around and out there. Nothing. So many places it could be. Sadly the one that mattered I did not search it seems. Another bus stop failure. Should start a bookmark list!
After Event EyespyBen decided maybe we go down country to find some BisonNext morning up early and away we go pick up KGDThe weather was spot onWe did a group sign KEAMost of them were quick findsSome tricky As we were in no hurry Stop for lunch & ice creamHad some laughs so all and all it was a great dayThanks
As dedicated driver, nav man and committed u turner spent a lovely day with KGD and ABCDF4down country lookin at the bison series,lotsa good hides, some dnfs, but a neat seriesthanks to the Co for the placements.
On a day trip with ABCDF4 and eyespyben with intention to see how much of a herd of bison we could gather. In the end we spent about 6hrs and had ticked off over 70. All logs were signed KEA (Kaygeedee Eyespyben ABCDF4)While I looked in all the wrong places cache was found by MRS ABCDF. Thank you for the placement
Oh goody. The weather is forecasted to be fine all day. A good day to brand some more bisons.This is a sneaky one.Cheers for the cache, Reschedul & Kiwi Does Stuff.
It was a beautiful, sunny winter's day, so matagouri and I headed to Rotorua to launch a second attack on the beastial bison roaming the area.This time we opted for a more discreet mode of transport, leaving the campervan behind, and taking the micro mobile, that can park in the smallest of gaps.Apart from the odd muggle issue, there weren't too many issue's making the finds.Thanks for setting up this awesome series.A bit of a search to spot this one, but got there in the end.
A sunny winter Saturday, an opportunity for rattll and I to make a day-trip from Hamilton in the geomobile, rather than bring the much larger campervan to stay overnight. This time we came down SH1 to Atiamuri, and approached the area from the west. Most of the caches were quickly found, one or two took a bit longer. Parking was much easier in the small geomobile. Thanks for putting out this series. A short hunt for this cache, started off by checking the obvious, then the not-so-obvious. Tftc!
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!After almost nine hours of toil, this is our last Bison cache. Its been a long day of fun and discovery. Thanks KDS and Reschedule. Have another favourite just because! TFTP and TFTC.
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.Tftc
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
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!!
