Logs for shiftycooper 

Looks like this may have washed away or it may have been muggled. I'm going to disable this cache unless someone wants to take it over. 

Easy find, lid was a little loose so I make sure it had a good seal when I left. TNLN 

While this was a very nice bushwalk, with lots of Tui's in the canopy, I was not able to find this one. I checked a 10m perimeter based on coordinates, and also walked the 415m line with no success. I did see a relatively fresh banana peel on the side path leading down to the canopy and suggested cache location, so someone at least in the past 2 days had been down that way. Hike was reward enough, but owner may need to visit to verify this cache. 

Not sure if I was in a rush or just blind but I couldn't find this one! I'll try again another day. 

I got a lot of stealth practice today with this and the other city/micro caches. I think folks must think I'm a bumbling american because I have to tie my shoes every 5 meters. Fortunately once I got the name of the second sculpture it was right in the direction I randomly chose. 

I decided to head back and try this one again since I couldn't find it a couple of days ago. It was REALLY crowded being a sunday so I called in a short spell of rain and that drove the muggles away. I did end up finding this, but it was on the other side where I expected it to be. Maybe I'm getting my right/left mixed up or it's one of those things like toilets flushing the other way when you cross the equator, dunno. I think that's the smallest cache I've seen so far!

I lucked out here, a brief rain shower sent all the muggles away save for young couple who were one person away from having the part to themselves! A very interesting sculpture, thanks! 

No muggles here at all, except that large group of military folk with guns and knives! Not sure what the event was but I had to go into uber-stealth mode to get this one! a drill team was practicing marching almost right in front of the cache, so I had to sit there for a bit reading a book before they moved away a bit. The log is ripped in half (I'm certainly not FTF for this one) so it may need some maintenance at some point. 

Nice morning to hike up this, but boy it made me feel out of shape! There's a picnic table at the top of the trail before veering over to the cache location, I've included coordinates. That might be a nice places for a tea break!

+ small deck of cards
- watch 

Dern, we were 2TF!! I think we must have seen KnK just as they got to the top, we donned our muggle-costumes as best we could... whew.. close call. I wonder what the folks next door think of everyone looking around the area! Cheers!

+ keychain torch
- toy car 

A very busy cache indeed! I just missed the mini-torch, I brought that down from One Man Bridge yesterday, dropped it off at Virgin this morning, and must have just missed getting it again at Zippy's loot! Hot potato!

+ watch - green tractor

You Kiwi cachers ROCK!! 

Had time to do this cache on way to rafting, gps not much help in the covering, but my brother was able to score the find. Took keychain-torch (or, flashlight as I like to call it), left keychain-taxi. Cheers! 

I couldn't find this one earlier because all I had was the coordinates, but after reading the cache description it was easy/peasy. Some stealth required because folks sitting on the bridge have nothing to look at but you!!

My gps was going crazy with the surrounding trees but I eventually came across the cache. A very cleverly named cache and location, thanks!

I'm taking Indiana Farmer for a ride to Manila, philippines next week! 

The hike was really nice, but it was really windy at the top!! Magna doodle is fun. I'm considering replacing my laptop with one...ah, the simpler life. It's my first time to NZ, and the geocaching has been a great way to get out and see some great country! Thanks! TNLN 

B-E-A-utiful trail with a nice canopy! Saw an interesting bird (Tui as I found out). The view from this cache is awesome. Thanks! TNLN

Nice and easy find. It was raining a bit and windy too, muggles around so I pretended to tie my shoe! 

Yup, easy find but hard to get out! Very tight fit! TNLN
