Where they milk the Bulls… Wait What? (Waikato) Newstead, North Island, New Zealand

Hi candiestriped

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

Someone has removed this cache

Hi couldn't find I think it's been taken

Seems to be gone

No luck finding this here today

No luck here today

Looked and even upturned some rocks. Didn’t find unfortunately.

I found it after 10 minutes, good hide!

I think this cache has been muggled, may need to check

I didn't bring a spade to dig this time, so either at the wrong pole or well hidden
Was not prepared to enter property over fence

This cache is in a Biosecurity area, according to one of the people I looked for the cache with who used to work here.

Had so much fun finding this one. Had so many treasures and a log book. Added to the treasure

It was at the end post and in between a thick round log and next to the walkway

Cool coin inside

I have a plan today to visit Hamilton Cemetery to suss out a plaque for my grandmother then visit Mike-miss in their new home south of Morrinsville. These guys shifted from Auckland a few months ago and I have been invited to lunch…nice! Also, need a few caches to start of the new Science of Discovery souvenirs that came into effect 2 days ago.

Pouring with rain today here in Hamilton and Auckland where I'm gradually heading. So I was pleased for a quick find today, cache is where it was supposed to be, quickly signed in and quickly back to the car before I got too wet. Thanks for the cache.

Found

Milked it

Cool

It was sitting on top of the post which is a bit too easy for anyone to find, so we re-hid it at the base of the post

Yippeeee found

Had a very curious bull watching us.

Easy find but got confused about which end poll.

TFTC

One of six located today on our drive in to the Hamilton Gardens, including two found there. This one was a quick find. #3549. TFTC.

A day out adventuring and I missed this one to log. Straight forward one to grab after lunch. Thanks for the hide

#963 - Mission over to Waikato for a day out, collecting a few caches along the way.
After a fabulous lunch down the road at Camarosa, we stopped and grabbed this on the way out. Hint spot on thanks.

Cheers

Great little hunt

Nice and quick thanks! Well covered

Nice stop on my usual run track. Thank you

Quick find after a birthday brunch down the road at Camorosa. Thanks for the cache

Nice new section of road. Quick png. Cache log surprisingly dry. Tftc

well hidden with foliage. 3rd find on today’s adventure around the Waikato

Found

Walked straight onto this one, nice quick png. TFTC

In Hamilton for the dahlia show, out to find some caches before heading home. Thanks candiestriped for the cache.

Tftc. I liked the nearby letterbox as well

Thanks

Merry Christmas. Easy find on a nice day off. TFTC.

A quick cache after a good cup of coffee at Zenders Cafe and a box of delicious strawberry at Ruakura Berry shop!
Thanks for hiding.

Quick easy find once the road was clear TFTC

On our way into Hamilton stopped for quick find

On a roadie with Some of Team BoP, NZ Flossy, Davidson Clan and Philip. Perry, and 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

A quick easy find, after initially being worried by the clearly recent road works. TFTC

Nice quick find in a hot day, no one around with it being Waitangi day, decided to not use the lip balm that was in the cache. Tftc.

Nice easy find. Thanks!

No roadworks at last meant for a nice quick find.
Signed the log and replaced as found
TYFTC

Tried to find it many times before, but there was always a construction site. Today not and I had some spare time
Had to take photo log

Had this cache on our 'to find' list today.
Managed to drive past, but the roadworks are so extensive (they are right at GZ) that we didn't even try to find it (would definitely have been seen trying to retrieve).
At this stage, the only way to reach this cache is to park in the LIC car park (which we didn't do given it was the middle of the day).
Suggest if going for this cache, wait until after the road workers have finished for the day.

Quick find on a beautiful day

With a break in the weather the only thing I really had to do today was geocache. I had no plans so enlisted TNXPro and Squirrelnutcase to search for a worthy adventure. What no one knew at the time was this adventure would span 21 hours, cover 3 regions and we'd have Davidson clan join us at the half way point. A crazy day but there's no denying - it's a lot more fun with friends!

This cache was a nice little park'n'grab which was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. There was a lot of roadworks in the area though and the cache wasn't overly hidden so hopefully it stay safe. Cheers candiestriped, TFTC

The weather was looking perfect for a caching trip, so myself, Philip.Perry and Squirrel.Nutcase joined forces and decided to hit the Waikato area to try clear Squirrels map.

Where they milk the - what?
We were lucky to be able to stop here and find the cache with the road works at the moment. We just pulled inside the road cones, but it looks like once the road is completed, it may be very difficult to stop here. CO should keep an eye on it.
TFTC

Was worried about this cache as there was a lot of work going on at GZ and, in fact, the cache was partially buried by soil from a new post. All good though. TFTC.

Well under normal conditions it may be a breeze...but not today the road works were a bit of a handy handicap weaved in among the cones a managed to stop very close to GZ and soon had the log signed thanks candiestripe for the cache

As we approached I wondered if it would be possible to access as there are major road works here. But no all way ok as there were convenient cones to sneak inside. Quick park and grab although everyone wondered what I was doing - lucky they had to concentrate on "stop - go" people and trucks and rollers etc. Thanks for the placement candystriped

Road works so had to be careful of muggles. The cache had a bit of debris preventing it from closing properly so sorted that. Have never stopped around here before. TFTC!

Looks like this one is temporarily inaccessible due to roadworks.

Nice place. As we approached the cache site saw this one sticking out. Re-hid and covered with leaves. TFTC.

I think this might be my first park and grab (left the car running). Signs suggest this part of Ruakura Road is going to be closed for a bit for repairs so looks like I picked a good time to come. TFTC!

Easy find for the morning. Grab tb. Tftc

Nice easy find as was out in the open. signed and put back. dropped off a trackable.

Nice quick driveby find on way back to Auckland...

Day four of my break here in the Waikato and it is time to say goodbye to my little tank room that has been home for the past three nights. Packed up and decided to head into Hamilton to attend the CITO and vote, before heading through Karangahake Gorge to Waihi, through to my final destination of Mount Maunganui - caching on the way of course.

A couple of quick caches before I leave Hamilton to head to Paeroa. This was a quick find then I was back in the car to head to the next one. TFTC

Quick park and grab on the way back to Auckland. TFTC

Log full so left a piece of waterproof paper as a new log

Logged in loving memory of LRPnz. A very easy find, as it was visible from a distance, so we covered it a bit better when we put it back. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Nice and easy now I have a car

lovely wee find. just noticed I hadn't logged this.

Going to Tauranga with my mum and grabbed this one - will aim to drop the trackable in Tauranga! TFTC

Nr 2 for New Year 's day 2017. Given the name of the cache, I thought it is a good place to leave my Mooloo travel bug to start it's journey to Gouda - cheezy much!! TFTC

Trackable left

Once we got our bearings is was a quick find. Tftc

Easy find

Stopped on our way home

Passing the time between showers gathering a couple of smileys. TNLN, TFTC candiestriped

Up from Palmy visiting the in-laws. In need of a park n grab due to 1 sick little boy in the car & an interested wee girl!! Quick grab between traffic. TFTC

17/07/16 15:35 I was surprised by the amount of traffic... Thanks for the placement Another smiley as I drove past. Cheers, GC.

i thought if the weather was going to play nasty for a few days i would take decent ride while i could, have passed this one many times but knew it had a perfect day for a find and it was today, tftc

Moo moo

Thanks for the hint. Busy road but able to locate.

Tftc.

Nice easy find while out dodging the showers. Left my first item with this cache. TFTC

What a great hiding place and thanks for the awesome cow key ring we love it.

Out and about with the geo kids in the holidays on a nice summers day. Very quick park and grab. TFTC.

Cache was pretty exposed but covered back up well. TFTC.

A quick park n grab, was a bit exposed but I suppose the area doesn't get much pedestrian muggle action. Covered it up anyway

Great day to be out and about. TFTC

A quick find as we were passing today. tftc

Tftc. A quick park...run across the road...and grab...this morning.

Stealth impossible as police attending car crash on Morrinsville Rd directed all traffic down this road. A quick find helped lesson the 'what is he doing' factor. Tftc.

My first north island cache, on a trip from Christchurch. Nice and easy. Thanks
