I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Thanks for placing these caches. My mission is to pick up caches on the surf highwayto Hawera Last one for the day.
Should have been a quick find when reading other logs but we could not find it so assume it's gone.
Another day exploring and Geocaching around the mountain with Mr Geco. The first one of the day...only so many places it could be hiding and soon found signed and returned. TFTC
Nice quick find here as we almost reach our destination , great hint, signed log and replaced as found thanks for the smiley and the placement
Tried last night to get this but a muggle family were having a picnic. Staying at the camp along the road I strolled along with the dog tonight and all was clear. Had a muggle with me so hopefully I have converted her. Thank you.
Quick and easy find on a diversion from patandjohn 's cycle ride while I have the HVTC van.

This was such an easy find. My kids had fun looking for this one while playing.
Thank you for a nice easy find on a day where I wasn’t having a whole lot of luck! Tftc
The hint made this a nice quick find, lucky the weather was not the best and the park was empty for us to make the find, thanks for the placement
I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.
Today the target is five but seeing that it is a nice I decided to get a few more. This one was only just around the corner from where I was parked up.
Cheers for the cache.

I'm loving these Taranaki clean air signs that are in every park! They are hilarious! Admittedly I haven't seen anyone in any of the parks, so don't know if they are working or not. Because there is no one around it made it easy to walk over to GZ, and quickly find the cache. P.S. one of the magnets is missing.
Today I'm On my way from New Plymouth to Taumaranui, the long way via Wanganui picking up caches on the way! A group of us are meeting up in Taumaranui tomorrow to take a jetboat down the Wanganui river! Yippee! should be cool (in both senses of the word).

This is a nice little park. No junior muggles here today, although it is fairly cold today.
A nice straight forward find, although one of the little magnets seems to have come away.
Thanks for hiding this here

A quick find in a deserted playground, but we needed a tool to extract it. We replaced it so it could be extracted by hand. TFTC
Headed west for a day of geocaching, filling in some gaps in the geocaching map. This was first of the day and a quick find at a quiet park. Left as found, thanks for the placement roachmann.
Travelling through to new plymouth to help out my Mum in law who has injured her shoulder badly and to to accompany here to the specialist etc etc . and put some frozen meals into her freezer for later.
I remember an earlier cache being here, very cleverly made and fitted in to the surroundings of the wishing well. This is neatly hidden many thanks for this cache and another smiley face.

Never been to taranaki before but no matter where I go I always pull out the geocaching app and yip found one
Breeze Sunday afternoon with a little bite in the wind, what better time to seek out a park cache. Not a soul in sight.
It was a simple matter to locate, log and return the cache back to its place of rest.
Cheers.

Quick park & grab with the exception of the kids wanting to play in the playground. Tftc
Nice easy cache - the race was on in our group as to who would find it first. Tftc
Another summer visit to locate the unfound caches and turn them into smilies. Quick find at the end if the day when the area was muggle free TFTC.
I know this area well as I was born at Hawera Hospital many moons ago. Not a kid in sight so a quick dash and grab.
I had to wait for a couple to depart the scene. Once that happened, I swooped in for a quick find.
Morning stroll from where are parked up in our motor home. Nice easy find and cool hide. Thanks
Found on a weekend trip from Wellington to attend a wedding in Patea.
Had the wrong cche details open on my phone but finally realised and then found it in 5 seconds after viewing the correct hint.

Took the long way home after the Mega. finding lots of caches in new areas. TFTC
Last time I visited there were two many young children using the facilities. In this day and age it is not a good look for a middle-aged man on his own hanging around a playground! **Yes, true!** Fortunately had it all to myself today, so I was able to locate the cache & sign the log without attracting too much attention. TFTC
This one took a title patience. We scouted it out from the geomobile and once the mini-muggles departed we went in for a quick and successful mission. TFTC
This one has been published for a while and today I found time to stop and log the cache. Nice little hide but not impressed with the Jack Russel next door who insisted that I should not be next to his fence! Still all good, cache a nice little device and log dry. TNLNSL Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. Thanks for the cache from Blenheim Bear

Nice quick and easy after 2 no finds, Riley even managed a quick swing as well, tftc roachmann
Had to come to New Plymouth for a work meeting last night so grabbing the opportunity to collect a few caches on the way back this morning. Day is wet and cold. Quick detour of the highway to this lovely little playground. Quickly located the cache, signed, returned and on my way. TFTC
#MissionGC was calling, and we headed down to Whanganui for a mystery cache or two, and any other hides we might find on the way. This one showed up on my phone, which was a small surprise as I didn't remember getting any notification from GCHQ, but the cache was a quick find thanks to the hint. A nice little container. Thanks for the cache.
Heading south with the need to stop a leg stretch and a cache what couldn't be better TFTC
A quick grab here before heading to wanganui for a day of geocaching. Just bet the local rubbish man juggling me lol tftc
Cool hidden spot. Had no pen will come back and sign tomorrow. Photo taken if needed
