We pulled up next to it and found the cache container lying on the ground, empty, with the lid next to it. No sign of the log book or any other contents. We put it back in the assumed hiding place, but we're sorry to say it looks like it has been well and truly muggled! 
8:40pm. #12 of day 2 of our week in Chch (total 44 so far). No problems at all, nice hiding spot.
Have changed the container so its nice and dry now and placed Skeeter travel bug from New Orleans in it

This kept me hunting for a little while, but got the right spot in the end.
The cache was soaked, and the bag the log book is in was ripped also, so the log book was soaked.
- Glue stick, as it was too full to put together properly.

The cache had a cm of water in the bottom, and the log book was soaked. The bag the log book is in has a rip. I emptied out the water, but didn't have a replacement bag, and the log book needs drying.
easy one step from the car who would take a corvette caching and try and stay inconspicous me lol
A quick last find as we drove into Christchurch at the end of Stubby Holder and The Red Flash's honeymoon!!
Took awhile to find as my GPS was reacting violently. Possibly due to the electrified fence nearby.
Took a screwdriver and left a funnyface magnet.

Fluked it! pulled up GPSr settled down and said 5m to go, opened car door a couple of paces and it was in hand. Cache was in plain view so covered it up a bit more.

Came up on the GPS while driving to Darfield so couldn't resist stopping. Easy find TNLN
It was very easy,but there was no lid on cache.Hunted around and managed to find the lid.
10.15am. Nice easy find. Cache was uncovered and visible from 10m...... so i covered it again.

[?] Have been here 3 times to find with no luck in finding. May pay to check this cache as it does not seem to be there.
Went to check tonight after returning from holiday. It has definitely gone. We have put in a replacement cache

Looked high and low everywhere. No luck. Extremely windy day which didnt help. Might have to give this one another go some other time.
After an hour, with three of us looking in incredibly hot and windy conditions, we gave up. Disappointing for us as out of towners but we gave it our best shot.
An easy find. Tried to get it a bit more out of sight when replacing. Wonder what the big deal is with the secured small paddock next to the cache site? Thanks - Tony
Good spot and easy find. Might want to replace your snap lock bags as they are not so watertight now!!
Thanks
Thanks
Nice One!!!!!!Great spot for a stop after leaving the hustle of the city. Clever hiding place. We gave the cache a bit more cover as one corner was exposed. TNLN Thanks for a great morning finding your caches.
Just read the previous log and now realise why it was so camouflaged! We found it in the end. Took the warhammer figure and added a jumping bean. TFTC. Linleye.
Lovely setting. Cache was a bit exposed, so camoflaged a bit more when replacing back in cache hide.
Keep it up ConTon!

Well shiver me timbers matey....good spot and had me thinking not too hard....not too keen about climbing electric fences as the gps kept telling me the cache was over that thar darned fence....true reason won out in the end!!!! TNLN Rick55
Called in on our way back from looking a some land in Kirwee. Closed in on the cache pretty quick - I looked straight at it and thought, "Hmmm, that doesn't look quite natural" - sure enough the cache was underneath! Man is everything jam packed in there - next person should trade something *real* small, and pull out the other stuff.
Such a nice day I thought to myself as I cycled to uni, and the 1st day of spring too, Damn it, work can wait I'm off to the Yaldy. Found without a problem and great cycle ride on a nor west day. + mordor's minion goblin + candle.
An easy find. Very obvious.
I tried to dig some of the wet slime out of the bottom to try to get it to sit a bit lower.
The GPS was telling me to climb over the fence. Luckily I have learnt that it often tells me lies! TNLN - Thanks.

Found 1215. Talk about a close encounter with a cacher, must have only just missed kiwitastic. Previous attempt had to be called off because gps was off, it was getting a bit late to be out on the bike too. Much easier in the daylight.
Returning after a great days skiing at Mt Hutt (who said there was little/no snow up there? Those people either need their eyes tested or not believe what others say) the day was capped by this quick find on the way home. + Where's George dollar (just realised that I picked that up at one of your latest caches). - caterpiller. Thanks Conton.
This was nice quick find GPS wnet right to GZ..
Now on to that dam cache down the road ..
Many Thanks Bitsprayer

The name was a pretty good hint as to where the cache would be, and it didn't take long to find it. Nicely done, no exchange made. Cheers Gavin [554]
Yay, was going to be hard without the clue as GPS was determined to go for a drink. With clue was easy. + caterpillar, - jandal keyring. Thanks, Ridders76.
Knew we wouldn't be able to get out later in the week so dashed out tonight and grabbed the cache and the Travel Bug.
Thanks Conton

Well, I saw this one come up, and went for it at 1:30pm this afternoon - but Moneydork had beaten me to it, getting there during the morning. Bit of a tight squeeze getting everything back into the container. Thanks Conton for the new cache - it prompted me to go and have another look nearby for Acacia (got it this time). No swaps, cheers, Grandalf.
