Patch (Nelson / Marlborough) Wakatu, South Island, New Zealand
By kiwi-nomad on 13-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZT7W

Time for a new one

Disabled.

We certainly tried very hard to find this one but with no success as yet. We will try again.

Couldnt find this one ,searched for qulte a while,will try another day

Only found a structure that should not be the home of any cache.

Didnt manage to find.
Some recent maintenance of teh sub station has been carried out???

Ninth of the day. Easy find once I had read the second last log. Hint made no sense. Not much of a fan of the spark boxes but tftc anyway.

Managed to write name but cache probably needs checked on. Pretty sure it isn't where it's supposed to be.

I think this cache isn't where it was meant to be as the force has stopped working. Puzzled by the hint.

Quick find while out cycling.

Searched and searched until we found it laying on the ground! needs desperate attention, we placed it on the ground under a piece of wood.

Easy find thanks

TFTC

out and about with "missssunny", she was very happy when she spotted the cache before me. Well done , nice way to hide a cache.TFTC

On an overnight trip to Nelson #5 find today. Quick find on way back to motel just on sunset. Signed log TFTC.

Replace full log book

Seen this type of cache before! Retrieved with no difficulties. The log is completely full - it needs to be replaced. Thanks!

Had to come back for a seccond look during the day time tftc.

My first of a few great kiwi-nomad caches for the weekend. Managed to spot this one without too much trouble - a clever hide. TFTC.

On a 2 day cache raid of Nelson. Clever hide but was a quick find while leaving the airport. TFTC

Attempted this in the dark on first night in Nelson, success today in daylight after gaining more experience on local cache styles.

Yet another clever hide while caching with friends. Signed log quickly then were back on our way after a fantastic day caching. Thanks for the cache

Clever! Clever! Clever! The Boss spotted this straight up! We saw a similar one in Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia. TFTC

A quick find today - it never ceases to amaze me how many times you can drive by a cache without knowing its there.

Took a minute to find it - so obvious that I nearly overlooked it - very cool. TFTC.

With the numbers in the hint in a different order added a bit extra to the search time.

Cheers for the cache.

Clever but I must have my eye in as only took seconds, I think time is making this hide easier

Yes, done a few of these before, so no problem, though cleverly done.

TFTC

A nice easy find on our Geohashing night,even though the hint is transposed!!
TFTC.

Stopped to look for this one a couple of days ago, to no avail. Made a return visit this morning for an easy find now that the cache is back in place with a nice new logsheet. Thanks.

# 2490

Found. Log to follow as time and laptop battery permit.

Great hide very muggly spot

Took a double take but found it in the end. Could do with a new log sheet.

Found it, but it took a woman's look to find this one. Great idea that we plan to take north with us. TFTC

A great cache dash.TFTC

GOTCHA! My 4th visit and got it in a matter of seconds- why didnt I see it before!Doh! But log was so full want able to sign it. Thanks for the challenge. Pleased to have finally cracked the little sod! Learnt a lot from this one.TFTC

Hadn't seen one like this before. Log is full and needs replacing, managed to squeeze my details on it. TFTC

Soon spotted. Tftc

I had a similar hide, but it still took StreetWalker 2 passes to find (I was concentrating on searching the other side). We managed to squeeze our initials on, logbook needs replacing.
TFTC.

#1634 (6/13 on day 1 in Nelson). Took a cou0ple of passes, but spotted in the end. TFTC.

So Close but so far- second stop for the day got to within a foot of it but couldnt find it must be well camouflaged- I will be back!

Easy find. TFTC

clever hide...enjoyed the find TFTC

We are on a roll 2nd one for the day

Very nice TFTC

Very nice TFTC

took a while to find very clever never would have thought it was a geocache TFTC

Wifey got this one at 1440 on 15-8-10. Hubby just looked stupid while she got it within 30 secs. Our friends stretch0 and niteowlnz enjoyed showing us the location of this one, and I think they were pretty stoked at how quickly wifey laid her hand upon it.
A very tricky chache that has opened our eyes to a whole new world of possibilities!
Well done owners for keeping us on our toes.

spotted while in car walked around gz to make sure of cars grab it and taken to the car for a dry place to log tftc

Easy when you know how! Been here before and must have stared straight at it before leaving empty handed. This time it was in the hand in seconds. TFTC!

1700hrs Ah got it thanks. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Nice one. Thanks

Hmmm, sure this wasn't here the last time I looked, as it was very obvious this time.

TFTC

Had it before I realized the connection. Well done this is the first I have seen like this.

Another "think outside the box" KN cache. Good one!! TFTC

Checked cache and replaced log book all good to go

Well we tried again today with fresh eyes and ideas but to no avail. After reading all the logs we thought we would find it for sure. Are we blind, I don't think so, well maybe. Until we another has found it we won't be looking again. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

No joy for us today

Well we came, we looked and we DNFd. We'll go back with fresh eyes in a couple of days. The Italian Job was here......! Our blog www.motorhominginxs.blogspot.com

Another quick find by Mrs Yeetrees and –gonefishing- , was great to have the chance to sit in the car and see another cacher do the work, nice hide, TFTC TNLNSL (1681) – Logbook was very full.

Spotted this one very quickly with Mrs Yeetrees, under the watchful gaze of Mr Yeetrees and Boxhill, on our GBH tour. The log is full, but managed to squeeze our names in.
TFTC

Found after short search - nice one!. Log appears full. TFTC

Quick find on Sunday bike ride

A nice one TFTC

A nice one. Quick find by Mr EU. TFTC

Another KN hide LIke the way you think no space left to sign log.TFTC

Quick find in the dark TFTC

Ran out of time in September to do this one on the way to the Airport, stopped off today to give it decent try. Found quite quickly, the log sheet is full, signed sideways next to TWS. TFTC

Yes I had to put my thinking cap on for this one, but stuck with it and finally come up with the goods, something I hadnt seen before. Very good.. Cheers Bo

Passed by the other night, but no pen. Returned today before my evening class.

Thank you

A very clever idea that I had never seen before. Walked around and around trying a few different ideas until I tried the obvious - how silly can I get?
Thanks

Nice easy and clever hide, found while on holiday in the area. TFTC

A fun find on way back to work in the middle of the day!

Found quickly by torchlight this evening.TFTF

PB made a quick find here (while out cache hunting courtesy of the KEs!) - after having the hint commited to memory from yesterday when we had tried to apply it to the wrong cache!! TNLN TFTC

The usual clever tricks - had us scratching our heads for a while, but got it eventually. TFTC.

A nice disguise.

I walk past this one everyday after work and i never even suspected it was what it was.

number 4 kn cache tonight. tftc

Very clever! Found it on the 3rd visit once we realised what we were looking for - the hilltop shocker 2 helped.

Nice to see this one has been replaced. Thanks for that.

Very cheeky. TFTC.

Found the correct spot but it's not there any more. Confirmed with other Geocachers who also think it's gone.

Suggest you delete this one or maybe replace it.

Thanks Alien Kiwis.

Called by early in the week and DNF. Passed it every day during our stay in Nelson. Had one last look but sadly DNF - this one has us beat.

We checked this one frequently but just couldn't find it.

I agree with the previous log 8 days earlier - the cache can be found, but needs urgent maintenance. It was too wet to sign the log, and was falling to pieces!! Nevertheless, it was still a good KiwiNomad cache that gave me great pleasure to find, even in pouring rain. I always look forward to hunting KN caches whenever I get up to Nelson. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1559)

Urgent maintenance is required on this one ..... a cleaver idea but its fallen to bits.

Keep em coming mate!

While Mr and the junior Beansos were scratching their heads in wonder, Mrs Beanso bowled across the road straight to it !!!
A little relamination may be required though as the water has gotten in.
Another very clever cache. Thanks again.

Clever hide. Had to wait for a clear opportunity!! Only one space left on log sheet and cache needs a bit of patching!

another one we realise we are driving past. It is nearly dark so no worries about being spotted. Got it straight up. Have to say that now we have seen and signed, the clue is far too hard for a bum, but undersatnd now. Brilliant cache, the paper seems to be working well.Took nothing ,left nothing (except abbreviated log) !! thnx

#2568
The cache is in need of a PATCH… cache starting to delaminate.
TNLNSL, TFTC

I like these, and I'm ALMOST getting the hang of them. TFTC.

Had to think for abit then found it

A slightly different approach to a micro. Blends in well. SL. TFTC.

Yes, found it.

A very quick find for me today I didn't wake up to the meaning of the hint until after I had found the cache.

Found with baby&Mrs gopher on our NZ trek. We were expecting something else but were surprised to find it in its place. Might be worth a check to see if it is supposed to be there. TFTC kiwi-nomad,

Found by baby&Mrs gopher in company with Roostaman at 1455 For Friday the 13th March No 8 TFTC
