I've had a busy weekend geocaching. Got 7 all up, including one 'first to find'. Friday after work I shot out to the Riwaka Resurgence (some off you may remember my photographic excursions here before). Its an amazing peaceful place and also very icy at the moment. I was first to find a new cache that was just put there last week and scored a little pocket compass for my trouble ( and the glory of being FTF of course). On Saturday afternoon I caught a ride with a friend who needed to make a trip to the west coast. I scouted out 6 caches of which we found three on the way. One at the top of the spooners range (another favourite haunt of mine), on the other side of that hill near an old railway tunnel, and one in the dark at the spectacular Ariki falls (the only waterfalls on the whole Buller river). This afternoon Devon and I took the dogs (Kaycee and Sasha) to find three caches in the hills behind Marsden Valley. They were called "the Gutbusters"; a series of three caches each containing the co-ordinates of the next. The track certainly suited the name. I busted my guts. There were parts of the track where I was on all fours. The view made it all worth while though, and the path down was a bit easier than the goat track we climbed up (and we found all three caches).
