Fifteen years ago Phronimos joined Groundspeak as a Waymarker because "Waymarking is a great way to combine my loves of travelling, photography, hiking, orienteering and rogaining."
The first Waymark Phronimos visited and logged was WM7954 in the Category Superlatives ; OLDEST -- Corrugated iron in the world. The Camphouse (North Egmont, Mt. Taranaki).
Phronimos created his first Waymark, WM8ZKX Pioneer Memorial New Plymouth in the Category Obelisks - marking the locality where the first Settlers to New Plymouth landed from the vessels named on the plaque.
Phronimos found his first geocache - GCKEH2 You can lead a horse to water... in New Plymouth, 7 March 2014 - placed in September 2004, and still alive.
Incidentally, the first geocache Phronimos placed was GC57GXX Blitz Bell, a Traditional cache in New Plymouth, that had to be archived when someone damaged it beyond repair.
Hence this is the CO's contribution to Groundspeak's 25th anniversary birthday - and my 15th.
I've booked the Atrium and we have a wait person assigned to our group so we order at the table
Rosebowl Cafe & Bakery
56 Kimbolton Road, Feilding 4702
12:00 PM to 2:00 PM
I’ve set this as a lunch-time event as Rosebowl is the "happening cafe where Feilding locals go to dine and socialise".
You can preview Rosebowl here. You can even bring your dog to the Rosebowl attrium.
