Quick stop on the way past. Spotted the cache from my parking spot 20m away. Surprisingly, not a single vehicle passed me while I was putting my life on the line, wandering up the roadside. Nice cache, weird place.TFTC
On our way home from an overseas trip.Grab a couple of caches on the way.Found by Mr PorknPuha A good find, grab, sign and flee.TFTC
Quick find with Blue Jay after picking up our 'hire' car from airport and before heading off on a few day tour of the North island.All good at gz.TFTC. Toffee Man.
Quick find in passing. We also acknowledge the traditional custodians of New Zealand / Aoteroa, as we geocache throughout their land while on holiday.Thanks for showing us this place, & for placing and maintaining this cache. The is our playground
Away for the weekend to ride a section of the Hauraki Rail Trail from Waihi. This afforded me the opportunity to snag some caches en route. A small detour here but I was able to pull up close by. Not in the first place I looked but putting faith in my GPS I was soon performing a fingertip search nearby and then plucking out a great little container that you only see now and then. Thanks eyespyben#5068Logged using Cachly.
Mr NZT put the call out for who would like to join him for a walk and potentially some park and grabs afterwards. So, Mr HeMaLuDy contacted him and a plan was formed. Having completed the walk and with the afternoon free we made a plan to pick up some park and grabs. Even though Mr NZT had found this one many years ago we took a fair while to find this one. We hunted in one location with no luck then Mr NZT found it in the second spot he tried. Having made one like this Mr HeMaLuDy knew exactly what tool was required when it was discovered it had rusted together. The log is dry however not sure if the two part will remain free for long.

On my way back to Hawkes Bay and stopped to find this cache. Only found the magnetic bolt. Asked C.O. if I could log my find. Got the thumbs up to log. Thanks eyespyben. Cheers.
Out on a road trip with i_halfpint and we happened to be passing. Be rude not to. We even went right around the roundabout to get better parking. Signed after my mate Yeti. TFTC.
It's day twenty of this months Wheel of Challenges challenge, the streak, and today I needed to find a cache. So I found this one.
Having spent the night in Pukawa, today I was making my way north to Hamilton, and then across to Whiritoa, and then down to Tauranga. I had a handful of specific caches marked to find along the way for various reasons.
This one was on my list as the coordinates help me with a challenge cache I am trying to complete. All good here, log was signed and everything returned as it should be.

Thanks to eyespyben for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.
[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

Very cute and fun cache. We pass by here often but are usually in a hurry. Had a few extra minutes today. Thanks for the placement

Everything ok with cache as we are travelling through. Plenary of parking. Thanks for the placement.
Day one of our family holiday and had picked out a few specific caches to collect along the way as I’m heading for a big milestone one.
Nice quick find but all the slow vehicles we had overtaken caught us up and overtook whilst I signed the log…oh well more caching time
Thanks for the cache. Found with NZIceman, cragger and laval.

Last cache for tonight, it's about 7:45pm when I arrived here. On my way home after a long day caching. Have picked up some targeted caches on my to-do list. So quite pleased with myself.
I had trouble finding this cache, initially I thought it was obvious but couldn't find it, so I searched the barrier too just in case the co-ords were out. No go there, so I went back to the first spot, and felt around again, then something dropped and I realised it was the cache. Nice! Thought I was going to have to log a DNF. Thanks eyespyben for the cache.

(# 7123) A flying visit up north by flying into Hamilton and then hitting the road up to the Coromandel primarily to get some geotour caches. A quick find. Thanks for bringing me here.
One of five caches located on the way back to our base in Morrinsville after an extended family picnic in the Waikino area. Had to make a very minor detour to pick this one up. A quick find as I managed to “feel it” straightaway. #3546. TFTC.
What a neat little hide! My first of this kind. I was so happy to get it. There were not many muggles about either. TFTC!
On a very rare weekend away with Mrs Tuolei and Albert the Geohound and about to get rarer it would seems with the latest announcement which came out as we were approaching Rotorua. It was quite remarkable how quiet the highways were, so quick progress was made.
Pulled in here easily and was far less than normally alarmed at the possible traffic blowing by. Quick and easy nice wee hide here. Thank for the cache - all good here.

Got this one on our second attempt after we drew the attention of police on our first stop. Tftc
Last day driving to Auckland from Taupo and grabbed this one filling gaps and gaining a new smiley face. If you park in the wrong place you will have a difficult time getting to the cache. Traffic really races through this roundabout. Please be careful. Thanks CO for the cache.
Strange place for a cache, so good look of it is safe for park the car
So we can search and found this Nice cache
Thanks for the cache Greetings from the Netherlands

Husband away so out caching. Fav point for the cache container. Have driven past here 100s of times so good to tick this off. Busy spot. TFTC
We parked right beside GZ which helped to conceal our activities but we still had to wait for the coast to be clear to make the find. Fortunately we have found caches like this before so it was located quickly.TFTC.
What an awesome cache!! We're spending a couple of hours local cache hunting and this was a goodie! Definitely watch the traffic though TFTC!
Leaving Rotorua in the early morning made us do few stops on the way back to Auckland. This was a quick find - and not so busy this time of the day 
.
.On my way to Auckland today with my 'muggle mother' as we are flying to Melbourne tomorrow morning. This was our first stop on the way and it didn't take us long to locate the clever little cache. Thanks for the pit stop
Tyftf w k-adventure. Definitely watch out with the traffic. Cache in good condition
Such a cute cache! Driving past on our travels back up to Auckland on this lpng weekend.
On our way back home stopped for a couple more. Nice cache and well hidden. Tftc
On a roadie with NZ Flossy. I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers
. On a small road trip with Mcjandals over to the Waikato. Lots of fun and good weather until the end and then it was time for home. Enjoyed some roads off the beaten track as the main ones were very busy. Think the farmers in the area will be glad of some rain. Thanks to all the COs for some great caches TFTC
Not such an easy find. Not really a bottle. Easier to find once you figure out what the mag clue means.
Geowife very worried by danger as we were travelling north. No problem though. Round the roundabout and virtually no traffic. Quick find then down the road and u turn back north. Don't know where all the cars were this avo.
Stopped here on my way from Hamilton to Thames. Have stopped some time ago with no luck but a bit of perseverance and a lot more caching experience had me widening my search from where my phone stated GZ was and laying my fingers on the container fairly quickly. TNLN, TFTC eyespyben
Wow! What an awesome cache!!! Pretty new to caching so had to google what mag meant in geocaching haha!
Nice grab on the corner. Perfect as it wasn’t in the traditional place for these intersections. TFTC
9.30am. Heading for Hamilton for a few days work. Easy find on the way.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
On a family trip to Hamilton. Found this on our way back. Found without much trouble. TFTC
Hubby and I set off for a 3 day trip in our motorhome. We headed for a place called Wharekawa on the Firth of Thames to stay a couple of nights. We were a bit concern as there had been lots of flooding and slips but we were lucky. I had sorted 19 geocaches to find on our journey. 10 on the way up, 3 while we were there and 6 on the way home. I have another 19 smiley faces. This was hard to get a park. Went around the roundabout twice. We were able to park on SH27. I walked back to GZ. I was looking for a bottle but found a keyholder. On opening it I had the logsheet so I signed it and put back. Had to take a side road to get back on the Tahuna-Paeroa road to get to the next one. TFTC.
On my way to the beach and stopped her. Wouldn't you know, a logging truck pulled over as well. Luckily he went just far enough in front for me to grab the cache. Thanks very much eyespyben
