Finally heading onwards to Hamilton after a big day out caching starting in Taranaki at 5.30am. The cache was spotted by my tall MrMuggleNZ. TFTC
Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I live full-time in our caravan travelling around NZ, visiting the places we want to visit & doing the things we want to do and fitting in a bit of Geocaching here & there currently staying on the outskirts of Hamilton decided to go for a drive around the outskirts of Hamilton & clean up some Adventure Labs & caches this was an easy find, cache container was easily retrieved, log book signed & replaced pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:LS #5,735 for Us!Returning home with rattll after a weekend in Thames and the Coromandel. Stopped here to record the adlab point, when rattll mentioned that there was a trad just around the corner. A quick find, signed, and returned as found, we'll covered. Tftc!
4-week family trip through NZ - Find #38!A short break in the drive to Waitomo Caves, and a quick cache find.TFTC!
I always drive past this one on my regular trips to Morrinsville and have resisted grabbing it till today when we popped in on the way home TFTC
Had to drive straight past this one last weekend as there was work going on right beside the cache. No such issues today while on the way back to Hamilton from Morrinsville and the cache was quickly found. TFTC
#763 Time for some sort of "walk off the excess of Christmas" effort. So we decided to do the Wairere Falls walk near Matamata and grab the caches along the way.Made a quick find here on the way home. TFTH
A quick easy find. The woodlice clearly like the natural cover. Road at the intersection closed due to flooding so needed to find an alternative route to my destination in morrinsville today. Theres a time capsule hidden here below my moree racer travel bug.
Day trip to the wet Waikato to nab some finds towards a challenge and attend an event later in the day. No problem with the find TFTC.
Driving back through this way today so made a point to park at the end of the bus stop and wander over to find this cache. There were some people parked in front of the hall so made my approach from around the back, before claiming a quick find, TFTC
It was good to get out of Rotorua today and over the hill into the Waikato area for a bit of geocaching. The weather was a lot nicer than in Rotorua. We went via Matamata, Morrinsville and on to Hamilton then home through Cambridge. Thanks to the CO for hiding.
Quick easy find here today, nice place to stop and stretch the legs. Have covered with more leaves as it wasnt too well hidden!
On my way home from an evening drive, I stopped here for ‘just one more’.
Plenty of ‘bugs’ in the cache but none of the ‘travel’ kind.
Once I’d shaken them off, the log was signed and I was on my way.
Thanks elwyn1948

2nd dnf for this cache today. Absolute gutted. there's an old towel in ground zero and some leaf litter but nothing else. Will be back! Thanks
A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I are off on our annual pilgrimage to Auckland to visit family. Today we cruised around the Hamilton area for a bit. The thunder rattled occaissionally and the rain teemed down at one stage.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

The Freezer Mice strike again.
Had to drive past on our way to Morrinsville caching this morning as the coffee cart was stopped here with locals enjoying the coffee and sun. All quiet on the way home so stopped for a quick find. TFTC.

We have done a few Eureka! caches since we took up this hobby(?) in 2010. Always nice to get another. Thanks.
Took a while to locate this one, but then kimbathelion sure did have a Eureka moment. TFTc
Road tripping with buzzybb. Went around the likely a couple of times then read the description & my geo eyes came on. Tftc
Mr rattll wanted the book fair, Mrs rattll wanted a cache - its a win win
Thanks for putting this here for me to find

(# 7098) 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 as the area was very quiet. Thanks for bringing me here.
Had almost called out. Replace in a nice spot. Hopefully will stay there for next finder.
Yay now i have been to Eureka thank you for placing this cache for me to find. Cache found in perfect condition ready for the next finder tftc
Always drive past this geocache on the way to Hamilton but have never had the time to stop and get it! Finally had a chance while dropping my friends car back to her place. Hidden in the second place I looked. Nice spot
Nice to get a cache in Cambridge. We picked up what we thought was a geocache but turned out to be a decoy. Found the right one with the log book. Yay. Thanks
Second time here as first time was surrounded by muggles. Quick find today. Thanks!
I came down to Hamilton for one last Geocaching day with nufrat before we move to Nelson. A quick find between the two of us. TFTC.
Lots and lots of little bugs. It was quite yuck. Probably due to weather and darkness. Cache inside was dry and we are starting a new log sheet.
So busy looking at the little book library I almost forgot to find the cache !
Easy find.
Sadly the paper even though in a bag is too wet to write on.
Great to have new caches to find on my mini trip.

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.
Gradually heading back to Auckland. When I pulled in here, the hall was open and there were a few cars parked up outside, couldn't see anyone though, so slid myself around to the tree and found the cache in the 2nd spot I looked at. Heaps of those little bugs were around the cache. They soon had to scatter upon me opening the cache! I returned the cache to where I found it and I had to scatter too... I'm about to be caught in yet another heavy shower and it's time to vist the Hamilton Cemetery to organise a plaque for Grandma.

Sadly no coffee cart today. One keen book swapper though, quick find after she left, TFTC
With a cache name like that, we had to make sure we passed by to find the cache. T4tc
I currently have a long weekend in the Morrinsville area. We drove into Hamilton today and picked up a few caches along the way. This was the first of them. Found this one reasonably quickly and, yes, it was well covered! My driver bought me a coffee while I was tending to the cache. #3779. TFTC.
I was out for a bike ride today and decided to head over here to pick up this cache to continue my current streak. There was a coffee cart here and a couple of people there but I just biked past and pretended that I was on legitimate business and no-one questioned me.... Well covered now by the previous cacher, TFTC
With an older brother, a dog, and a Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We're making hay while the sun is shining - and boy, the sun is definitely shining today!
We parked in the shade and went straight to business. This was a quick find as the cache was visible. We found a piece of sawn-off branch and used this to hide the cache from view. Thanks elwyn1948 and TFTC.

Find number 7380. Called with Boges yesterday as we passed thru. As he was a previous finder we looked but no luck. Passing again today and soon found it in a place we had not looked. Thank you for the placement.
Found the hole but no cache. Took all the leaves out but still no luck. Had to be sneaky about it as the hall was being used.
**#12,642**
Woohoo 8th to find
Drove past this one yesterday but had the carpark full of road working crews, only 1 car in there today and they soon departed as we pulled up.
Quick find after using the opportunity to walk the dogs around.
