Just passed by to grab the razor dragon TB who wants to leave NZ. We will at least take him north to more populated regions.
Cache very wet.

1st today, quick easy find +TB Razor Dragon TFTC

Nearly lunchtime, but going out to the coast to enjoy it. Quiet today, so no problems with the find. TFTC

Despite a profusion of muggles out for the goood of their health I found the cache. A lovely unknown area.
Thanks

It was (nearly) lunch time (11am) ... but wet and cold and miserable (10 C)! Dashed out of the car, grabbed the cache, back to the car to sign, and returned the cache. No-one around - all sensible people were staying at home today! TFTC

great geocaching never gets old

Good hide.
Cheers.

5/7 of The Grady Bunch Found this cache and fed the ducks. No pencil so we will replace it tomorrow. TFTC.

I found this open, upended with contents strewn about. Have dried out, added a log of sorts ( original nowhere to be seen) and replaced. I didn't have a pencil on me and my pen was too long for the container so you'll need your own. (51) No travel bugs in sight - only a monster finger puppet.

Went by to drop off a TB and do a bit of first aid on this cache tonight. Absolutely beautiful sunset to be seen, and a kotuku (white heron) out on the edge of the pond. Nice.

Found okay in your nice lunch break area. Did not sign the log it was so wet. TFTC NINO

Found on a lunchtime dash but see the post below for info.

Container has serious water issues. I emptied out the container. Was half full with water and the bag won't seal so the logbook is totally ruined.

Logging a TB

While Mrs Explorer and the kids bought lunch Mr Explorer wandered off, found this cache, and got back to the car before them. The log book is very wet. TFTC.

Found it in a dash. Managed to make a mark on the very wet log book. May need a lunch time repair dash soon. Pretty sure I wasn't observed from any lofty offices as it was Good Friday and even Moneydorks don't work then [;D]

A quick find thanks. Cache dry but logbook damp. TNLN. TFTC

Found this as one as part of the Greymouth Gathering today. Wasn't able to spend much time at the cache as our team had more waypoints to do. Cheers Gav [1856]

Found during the caching event today. Log is too wet to be rescued with more silica gel. TNLN

Found while doing geocaching event. Logbook quite damp

I found this cache while on our trip down the westcoast, cheers.

Still enjoying the searching.

good find had pic lunch

Got it! Dashed in and out quickly, just like MoneyDork would have done.
Thanks BitSprayer. Great use of the spot.

+ glow in dark centipede

An easy find on a gorgeous West Coast day. This kids were very intrigued by the swans in the lagoon over the road!

Found quickly on a whirlwind day of 'caching with Pinot Noir. TFTC.

Great location.

cool

FINALLY!!! PB found this in about 10 seconds flat, after three or four nights of looking for it in the dark and rain. Maybe helped that it was only raining tonight 'cause we looked a bit earlier!!!

good place took bout 10 mins though

found it nice place

Found it at 07.45 hrs. Nice spot in the sun. Local kids found it and wrote their names on all pages. Cache was very exposed and the lid was off. Recommend another hiding spot.
Thanks-Meryl(Holland)

Easy enough. Thanks.

Mmmmm lunch time dash turned into lunch time epics! Yes more than one visit to the location but thanks to Cossy106, I managed to find it!

easy find with new GPS

first time couldnt find it but then went back next day and found it.

Bit windy to eat our lunch here today! TNLN

easy find didnt take long

Great spot

Got this one on way back to work from lunch, so a real lunchtime dash. TNLN Thanks Bitsprayer

easy find

Couldn't get this last time because of muggle racers nearby. Got it easily this time on the way to get dinner!

Ta for the cache. +bouncey ball - dice

Grabbed Signal geocoin

Quick find. TFTC

found it, after a little nice walk throug Grymouth
Thank you

Stopped here and watched a helicopter land and take off. Cache was easy to find, took the Teddy TB and dropped off the Signal Geocoin.

Easyfind. Found that a fello Ashburton Cacher have bet us here and left our Teddybear TB retrieved from the SJ Event, where it was released. Happy Travels. TFTC TNLN SL
PS Nice ducks nearby in tranquil setting

Dad parked the campervan just right so Mum could jump out and grab the cache. She brought it back so we could have a look and see what was inside it.
Thanks for the cache, especially since we went to Moneydork's event yesterday.

Mum said one more cache. I wanted to see if the helicopter took off but it didn't.

29. Last find for the day. Dropped of TB Teddy Bear. Muggle parked across the road so backed up so the camper van blocked their veiw and did a quick find and drop off. TFTC.

a 10 second find! TNLN, TFTC.

Easy find TFTC

A quick find luckly no muggers around.

Was in the area so dropped in and did this one.

Great day for caching, sun shining but not too hot due to cool wind off the sea. Quick find using the hint. As suggested we had a slap up picnic here and were entertained by the helicopter landing. Last day in Greymouth before heading south. TNLN. TFTC.

Caching with Linleye.

Our last find for the year, and maybe the last one to find this cache for 2006 (3hr 20min till 2007 at time of find).

- hand magnet
+ Christmas decoration & two red dice

Happy New Year!

What, no money for my lunch at the Karoro Capers Caching Event? I'd better dash back to the motel and see what I can take to eat at the event. Cheers.

Was dinner time when we dashed into this one. Parked about 150m away and then walked.

Nice easy find, added a couple of Christmas decorations - for Moneydork's tree?

Woohoo!!! I even used the GPS to find this one!!! I always wondered what that blue thing on my dash was used for!!!

Very easy find - a nice thing on a long caching day!! - TB The Key + TB "F is for..." - TB Kokopelli + dice. Cheers from Grandalf(650)

Nurses hostel completely gone for about a week now.
+ 2x Travel Bugs

Another quick find while out on our usual walk!

Took: dragon
Left: little ted

out biking with Moneydork Blake & jeff. No swaps, thanks for the cache

found it! nice easy one! thanks bitsprayer.

Grabbed Geocoin.
Cachers visiting this cache should take a good look at the old nurses hostel. It will be demolished soon.

2nd of the night, bit of a stroll from the motel, but found no problems. Had to keep torch use to a minimum due to houses above.
TFTC. TN, L geocoin, SL

Another cache done without clues. Master Samy! found this one quite quickly.
+ Dragon
- Whistle
Cheers

This was the second quick easy Moneydork cache for the morning [^]. TFTC
- $1
+ Instant Kiwi Ticket (Good Luck)

Easy find after a shocker in a day in Gerymouth. At least the cache was safe and dry. TNLN.

This was another easy find by Mrs S.T.
The old building behind this cache would be a bit spooky in the moonlight.
+ Haky Sak
- Elephant

a few fit muggles around.
TNLN TFTC

on tour with muzzman

Found this one easily enough early in the morning. Just a guy mowing the lawns to contend with.

Quick find. NINO

Just dropped someone at the train and was rushing back to Hoki to drop someone at the plane, but, as it was lunch time I thought I'd better do this cache. Grabbed the TB to help it on its way.

Right near our motor camp. Good way to start our day. Thanks for the cache. Swapped Travel Bugs.
+ TB 542620 DK
- TB 470770
+ Shell
- Car
Early Rizers

Nothing to complain about on this one. An obvious hiding place and coords spot on. Sat on the seat by the pond and enjoyed the view. Gave TAZ an airing then put him back in the box. TNLN

Put TAZ back in the box as he was being a bit bolshy.

Arrived in town about 7.30 pm and decided to head out to pick up some caches before dinner. Had to pretend the GPSr was a phone until some dog walking muggles wandered past. TNLN. Thanks

+ TB

An easy find. Would be most tranquil for lunch. Lovely lake. Someone thiefed off with the cache cash - bugger : )
- Chess pawn
+ Elephant rubber

Plus Travel Bug

Heyho!

This was the second find for Team Tiges in N.Z. Less than a km from our Hotel, we could hardly not go and get it! Looks like a nice little spot to stop and have lunch! Too bad for us it was 7:30pm and raining!

Thanks bitsprayer. The Captain Salutes you!

Took - Gem.
Left - Elephant Stamp.

We couldn't help passing this one walking from the camp site to the grocery store. Easy find. TNLN. Thanks Bitsprayer.

As Nik said.. We hunted for ages on this one, approached it from the wrong direction and I finally went all the way back to the truck to get the print out so we could decrypt the clue. Bet Moneydork was laughing his head off if he could see us....
Left Black Pawn and a Yellow and Black car
Took Pink Car.

Hunted for ages before finding this one - ended up using clue and then felt very silly. Nice one!

By the time we got to this cache we had done over 500km while out caching today and used a full tank of fuel. We found this at 9.50pm - a quick dash before driving back to Moana.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Quite a buzy spot, I had to use the clue as not to look to weird as I was attracting quite a bit of attention looking around. 5th for the day.
- Man
+ Car
Cheers Iona

No idea where we were, but we found the cache. Easy find although we approached it from the wrong direction and did a bit of a 'cross country'. TNLN

Nice One!!!!!! We don't know about lunchtime, however site was a nice place for morning tea. One thing about the cache site, if morning tea or lunch doesn't agree with you, you are in the right place. -Coin +Spaceman Thanks

Found at 7 am. A before breakfast dash. Nice quick find.
- Coal Wagon
+ Aussie Penny 1943
TFTC Onslow Fisherman

GPS took us straight to it, although we parked on the opposite side of the railwayline and walked through from there. Took a QANTAS pin and left a green star stone. TFTC!

Had finished lunch but decided to do another cache (why not the company is paying). A nice quick one.
No exchange,
Thanks,
Greg & Jordan.

Nice n easy - Marg found it first...
(I was lookin in at the wrong pole)

Took electronic buisness card, left a troublesome truck.
