I'm lying

Have found a few GROTTY caches.

Found with toby84

After a bit of a hunting and searching, stumbled upon it with Reny90

Dad is on a role today!!!!

I found it didnt take anything but put some stuff in overall really fun and challenging

After parking and walking towards ground zero we weren’t too sure on the fact that the area had campers. We carried on though - and thankfully team Wavecajin made quick work of this one .

I've been itching to do some more caching and this was a great chance to get out of the house on a rare fine day it seems lately. I remember the Grotty series well and the final that was situated around here. TFTC

Bit of a tricky find, took us a while! Tftc (forgot pen, so here’s a picture for proof)

After a bit of searching I had just said "are you ready to give up?" as Kezzle33 says "I've got it!" .. don't give up guys, the frustratingly unhelpful hint is more helpful than it seems

Hardest search yet but so worth it lol

7964 Having a lazy day at home when ABCDF4 rang to say that they were going to the Papakura area so I joined them. Nice quick find here for me.

Thank you for the placement.

Nice easy find

Nice easy find

After the 2020 MEGA I thought a bit of local caching was in order. Started with the latest released caches and then expanded the area.

Remember Agazo well. Went to his final farewell event in Auckland. The grotty series was awesome and we even claimed a couple of FTF's which is even better Just close the loop we know the CO as well.

Arrived at the gz and had a poke around with the only pen I had and yes I broke it with pieces flying everywhere. Eventually spotted something that could fit the description and wallah there is was. After a search for bits of a broken pen I managed to sign log, so if my log looks funny....it was difficult. Killed a dot day.....all the best for the future Ron(Agazo)

Couldn’t find, will try again

Couldn’t find will come back again

Wasn't there. Did someone put it in the water?

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I were out for a walk ... picked up this Cache on our travels ... pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally … farewell Ron, all the best for the future ... TFTC ... TN:LN:SL ... #1,950 for us.

I've passed this area a million times and didn't even know it existed. Wondered of to the GZ and had a poke around.
Hint made is obvious and soon I had it in hand. Fun find. TFTC

Found on a little caching tour to finally finish the Solar System Wonder challenge. It took me long enough... In fact it took me so long, that the next challenge "Reach the peak" has already started...
This little fellow took me ages to find. So many possibilities that fit the hint. But perseverance paid and -not soon. but eventually- I had the cache in hand.

I remember finding Agazo's Grotty 100 not far from here quite a while ago: 100 possibilities for the log to find and that was exactly what I did: I found the log in the last tube possible. What are the odds? Nice memories...

Thanks for hiding an maintaining this farewell cache.

Had this one on the radar from publication and had to collect a car from the auto electricians' nearby, so walking from work ducked in here to locate and sign in.....had already located one of the grotty caches in the location previously, so knew what to expect.....

TFTC.

Another dot day filled on this sunny afternoon. TFTC

Oh I remember well the Grotty 1001 cache that was here... I think we had opened 96 of them before we found the log so it is ingrained in my memory! Thankfully this one didn't prove to be as tricky for Supernanny and I though it was hard to pinpoint exactly where gz was but after a short search I spied the hide. Farewell Agazo!

Surprised to be joint second to find here!
We both had some free time today so went out with merlot58 for a bit of caching.
Widened our search, then went back where we started and was found by merlot in a logical place in terms of the hint.
Yes....I do remember Agazo's previous cache here for sure!

GO Ron...GO, GO!

Published

It was a very busy day today getting ready for the move. I needed a break and sat down at my computer at just the right time to see this cache get published. I knew everyone would be so courteous as to let me have the FTF, (or maybe you were busy at work and couldn't get out).

There was something familiar about GZ. I first went to the well-known spot to see if it was re-used for this cache, but it wasn't. My phone was not getting a very good signal, so I had to search quite a few places before I made the find. TFTFTF.
