By elwyn1948 on 06-Aug-21. Waypoint GC9ETG2

Pretty wet.

I had been here several times before many years ago, and I swear it was not there back then. I'm just happy to get this one off my list. TFTC.

TFTC, love the rocks

Quick park and grab. Great stones. TFTC

Tftc

A nice quick find. There are a few monoliths around here!. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are off on another North Island tour, visiting family, art galleries and caches. Today we drove and cached around Hamilton, the weather has been pretty good!Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

As expected. Thank you elwyn1948

Thangoodness i found this one, because for the life of me I can't find the one down the road!

Thanks for the cache

Thank you

Out for an afternoon's cow-cache hunting in Morrinsville with some selected others along the way.Hmmm...the Waikato's very own Stonehenge. And a cache too!Thanks elwyn1948#5035

Looped around from Newstead to grab some caches over this way, easy park and grab TFTC

Doing bit of a loop of caches around Newstead and Matangi today. This was an easy park and grab after having to drive on past a couple of caches that had people parked around. TFTC

Found and signed

My first cache in a while so nice to be able to find while on a trip away. And great weather before more rain expected. Happy Christmas and New Year to you, and thank you for the hide

Found it

Replaced with a new eclipse tin.

Cool location and a quick find. TFTC!!

I was heading into Hamilton this morning, and decided to grab some caches along the way, nice quick find here before it starts to rain, TFTC

Rather wet here. The cache could do with being replaced as it's been in a puddle for a while.

Another find on the way to hear Sue Nicholson. Someone did allegedly come through to speak to me at the concert too which was an interesting experience. A quick easy find. Found lying in a big puddle of water. I shifted it slightly so it is just and barely out of the puddle for now. Its a good thing it has waterproof paper.

A quick easy find. The lid comes adrift from the tin. Had to get the wood lice and slugs away and tip the water out but still
Signable. 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.

Easy as find

Nice easy find here. Tried to not disturb the slug friends too much!

Png. TFTC

Nice park and grab. Teamwork with SOLRAC TWO on our little road trip by Waikato highways.

Nice and quick find here, TFTC!!!

Ruru_Nz and I on another road trip to complete this area of the Geotour before it finishes and we have completed.

Rain on last day up here and a couple of hidden Monty caches to find this being one of them

Up from Southland with Cantabrian Kiwicampnut to get the final piece of the PWGT puzzle.
Day 10 - and we are homeward bound on a lunchtime flight. Still time for a few extra smilies.
This fulfills a missing month for Kiwicampnut so a quick stop here in the rain...
Thanks for the cache elwyn1948

Found under the board, but was covered in ants.

Late night caching with FMZ. Exploring the area that may become our local in the near future. Nice and easy find. Thanks for the cache!

One of eight located today on an outing to complete “Local village halls” Ad Lab, as well as picking up a few regular caches. This one was a quick find. #5699. TFTC.

Quick grab on the way home from a geocaching Christmas Day

Quick find while in the area.

Staying nearby in the motorhome and have been past here many times. Today was the day to stop and look. Nice quick easy find. TFTC.

Checked today. Waterproof log is fine. Please cover up when replacing.

Quick find. Cache was lying in water & a bit wet inside. TFTC

Easy pease find on the way hime from the Kaimais

Didn’t take long to locate this one. Container full of water, so emptied it out. Luckily waterproof paper for log, so all good. TFTc

Easy find

Caching in the Waikato with Team Welsh again today, on the Sunday of Queen's Birthday weekend. We had a chilly 8am start at the Hamilton Gardens for 8 caches, then off to do the three sets of Bridges ad labs before making our way towards Cambridge, following a trail of trads.
Easy enough to see that we had come to the right place as we pulled into this road. We wandered over to the 3 Monoliths and found the cache exposed on the ground. Signed the log and re-hid better. TFTC

This one was very exposed so after signing the log we replaced by tucking it away unseen. Many thanks for another cache for others to find.

Thanks for cache.

Easy peasy

Left rock

Thank you. Nice easy find for a 5 year old new to geocaching.

Very lovely find close to home and an easy find for 5 year old

Our last find of the day after spending some time in the area.
What an interesting spot, not quite Stonehenge but still impressive. We noticed a few more dotted around this street.
The cache was quickly located and signed.
TFTC.

Easy find and dropped a pin.

A nice easy find. We've left a wee bit of colour for someone else to find.
Happy New Year

Thought we had found or at least tried to find a cache here once before. Today's efforts were quickly rewarded, cool monoliths! Tftc

Nice quick find, but cache was rather wet, so replaced it with new paper and bag. TFTC

Another good spot for a cache. Found while out caching with moggyval on Christmas day.

Easy find in the rain. glad the road was not busy. Interesting Rocks. TFTC

Been here a few years ago for a cache. Quick find but cache very wet, struggled to write on it. Tftc

Find number 7694. Another day at level 3 stage 2 so I was out to grab another cache. Previous cache here was GC68QM5 and was archived in 2018. Able to park up and easy grab. Thank you for the placement.

What’s the story of these monoliths? Cache was found quickly! Thanks for hiding.

Epic

Found the original a while ago, happy for another smile..TFTC

we had no issues here.
soon had signed.
tftc

My Dad is laid up in Waikato Hospital at the moment, so it's a no brainer to knock off a few local caches while we are in the area...

We spotted the three monoliths while still a few metres off. This turned out to be a quick park and grab cache - Thanks elwyn1984 and TFTC.

I had itchy feet and a desire to Cache but I was also having car issues... Fortunately it was Fap'n'Gap to the rescue whisking me off to Hamilton on a mission to tidy up the few caches we have left to get there.

This cache was found quickly and without fuss thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward hide. A Nice park and grab - Cheers Elwyn1948 & TFTC

easy find, but very wet inside. We has a spare bag so it was replaced

Found while out and about in the area, no problem with the find TFTC.

Super quick find here. Log was wet but thanks to being waterproof paper I had no issues signing the log. I 'm pretty sure I've found a cache her in the past. Clearly I've been doing this for to long.

Nice quick find, cache was swimming after all the rain

Nice wet find lol

Logbook already soaked and disintegrating. Replaced with waterproof paper. TFTC.

Good to be here on a Sunday morning before the roads got busy tftc

A quick find, at least I could park next to it, tftc

**#14,245**
Snuck in there onto the podium for 3TF just in front of JIZTMaGiC
Easy find for us, good to get a new cache ticked off early.
TNLN TFTC

Saw this published but didn't rush for the FTF so nice to knock off today. Cache wet, might need a more watertight container. TFTC!

I had found the original cache at this location, so thought I'd come back for #Take 2 when I was in the area today. Thanks for replacing it, TFTC

Saw this come in last night when I was at work. Thought I'd leave this till this morning .roughly 4 hrs sleep and up early. Nice drive to gz for an easy find. [FTF] tftc logged 0645
