Didn't even bother visiting - since there have been 3 unfound logs.
Please check this cache and replace or archive it if necessary.

Couldn't find this - found the clue however there was no geocache to be found - perhaps the halfway there bit of the clue cryptic language - not sure but we will see if someone else finds it before I try again

Was so many muggles around so decided to leave it - spied the clue though. Will definitely get next time and maybe walk the beach also.
 
04-Jun-05
The GPS led us straight to the item in the clue, but...
From there it wasn't at all obvious, and being wet and cold, we weren't too keen for an extended 'festering foliage forage', especially considering the previous DNF.

This was the third Did Not Find of 23 cache visits on the "Bucko Boys South Canterbury Road Trip". Buckomama sent the boys away for three days so she could do some work in peace!!!!
We found the clue very easily but found the cache to be a little elusive! Picked up lots of rubbish though!
Will try again next time in Timaru.
A BEAUTIFUL park and walkway.
 
25-Mar-05

Didn't find the cache. It may have gone, more likely we weren't smart enough. But the consolation prize was well worth while. Never dreamt of this place being here. And to think that whales once smam past along the shore. Humans have not had a great track record. Rod M

Found it
Lovely view - a few muggles which needed to be avoided before we could search.
 
12-Jun-04
The Sallies filled me in on the updated position of this cache, as they'd found it exposed and looted, and kindly repaired and replaced it.

The fog had rolled in, so the view was of whiteness, but the old artifacts here were interesting.

Took nothing, left water pistols.

Didn't realise until we got home that this was a FTF. We found the cache in the open and it had obviously been plundered - the notebook & pen and some of the goodies were missing and then it had been discarded. We replenished the cache and then hid it in a likely spot! Will email wjbwc the details.
+ whistle + wolf
Thanks
