Hooked a big'un! (Southland) East Gore, South Island, New Zealand
By Ritchie58 on 06-May-06. Waypoint GCVX69

Suprised this one lasted as long as it did with the Over zealous GDC gardeners!!! Thanks to all those who found it!!

Not a good start to the day. We search as best we could and found what we thought was the obvious location but no joy. The gardens have just been maintained and vines trimmed.
We did find a small pencil in the garden.
Off to Oh Deer.

I concur - muggled. I suspect by the council garden contractors as they have redone the gardens. Having spoken to a local cacher who confirmed Iw as looking in the right place, I'd say this one is a goner too.

Think this may have been muggled. Pretty sure we were spot on with coords and the clue made sense. Kids all over wall like a rash, so may have been spotted and removed. Nice spot though.

Wow. My first find and I found it without a GPSr, and only 2 blocks from my office! No problems with geomuggles even though it was a beautiful day. This one gave me a closer view of the icon that I wouldn't have taken the opportunity to view otherwise, even though I’ve been by it countless times.

Easy find on a quiet afternoon at GZ

NZ trip cache number ***100!!***
(our first 100 caches from another country)

And it was a special one!, we were about to give up as attacked this cache in the dark, then started to think like a cacher and before long we had it in our hands!

Thanks for being our 100th cache of NZ.

On way to Otautau for a funeral but found the time for this cache. Normally we take the back road from Clinton but with this cache to find made an exception.

How Bizarre is that! Tried finding the cache in the drizzle but gave up to easy. jumped into car and who do we see? The
The Bohemian family,and they helped us out. Thanks

My old buddy Hamsterman and family turned up whilst we were in Gore and as cacher finjack says on his wonderful coin "if ya aint out catchin ya outta be out cachin" and thats what we were doing.

Found @ 2-00 pm. Nice easy find in an interesting little park. The hardest part is avoiding the muggles. SL. TNLN. TFTC.

Not a muggle in sight as I approached - that's a bit fishy!! Anyway it was an easy find. Then just as I left, I noticed two young lads sitting high on the "rocks" on the other side - sometimes you just get lucky. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(780)

nice easy cache on a warm summers morning,not many about.

A few muggles taking photos required a bit of patience - but no problem with the find. Thanks.

Fairly easy find, not many muggles around. TNLN.

Fun find in a very interesting place. Who knew Gore was full of so many surprises? My 50th find, too! No swaps and TFTC.

Needed the hint to help locate this cache - a great placement.
First cache I've ever found with all those policemen's business cards in.... perhaps the local constables watch this cache closely, given their nearby office location.

found it quickly.ge0rg

Quick, easy find while driving to Te Anau. Nice hide!

5:02 pm - TNLN. Met a children's TV crew here and had to be very discreet. TFTC.

5:02 pm - TNLN. Met Tamati here from 'WHAT NOW' - he was great. TFTC.

No-one around fortunately so a quick in and out. Amusing to note a couple of police business cards in the cache and a comment in the log book saying "Bored on night shift".

11:23 am
great little spot. Very popular

Had a bit of a delay waiting for Muggles to move.
TNLNSL. Great placement.

Quick find nice Tadpole

Cheers Bitsprayer

Found on the way through Gore. This was surprisingly easy to find sl tn ln

Found this on our drive from Dunedin to Te Anau. Found easily on this blustery day. It is a big one there!
Thanks from some San Diego, CA cachers

Found at 1130hours.
A pretty quick find but I had to keep a weather eye on all of the muggles.
It would be great to catch a trout as big as this un.

I pulled up here first but way too many muggles about, so I went and found the other nearby cache. I came back and the spot was still crawling with muggles. I sighted the container, but I didn't want to risk pulling it out.

Despite my ichthyophobia I braved the fish. Cheers.

CARRIED ON FROM MATAURA TO THE FAMOUS (BIG'UN)!! CHECKED OUT ALL THE LANDMARKS, FOUND THE CACHE WHICH HAD BEEN VISITED BY THE BOYS IN BLUE.TOOK CARE NOT TO BE SEEN.
PIPEDREAM.

My second find, still don't have a GPSr but the directions where easy enough and I work very close by. Took nothing and left a credit card size windscreen ice scraper, very handy for this time of year!

FTF baby...oh yeah! Found at 8:30 am and it was cold, about 0 degrees C. But a true FTF'er must go on! And not to mention that we traveled over 7000 miles to find this cache! Yep, all the way from San Diego, California. TNLNSL.Will post pictures upon return home.
