I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
Nice quick find and interesting item. Lid is missing so cache was full of water. Might need some maintenance
Some Bastard stole the very bespoke bolt that was used for a plug for the end, I did wonder if it was okay to release in the wild, that’s why all my best caches are still in Piggies Grotto, for display purposes only.
Never again.
Never again.
Day trip to the wet Waikato to nab some finds towards a challenge and attend an event later in the day.
Nice hide here but didn’t fool us TFTC.

Had to watch out for the garden men working at site and mowing the grass. Able to get the job done.
Out on a day trip from Auckland to get some newish caches .
Found with Jag and Net61.
Really like your camo here G-2.
Truly inspired!
Quick find with specific hint .

With three ladies looking it didn’t take long to find this well camouflaged cache. There were a few children nearby on the skate park but they were far enough away from us not to worry about them. TFTC

The tree cover was making the GPS bounce around a bit but we soon located the cleverly camouflaged cache.
It was full of water after all the recent rain so we gave it a bit of TLC and tried to dry it out as much as possible before tucking it back into its hiding place.
Looks like a nice BMX track and we are sure it is great for enthusiasts but its not "wheelie" our thing and if we tried our energy would no doubt deflate faster than our tires.

Ooh, loved the camo on this one! We left this until last thinking it might be busy. Not a soul to be seen so a nice quick find. TFTC!
Back in Matamata tonight and happened to be driving past this cache so pulled over nearby. Per the previous log, not sure what has happened, the cache is still nicely tucked away, but missing the lid and log sheet. Quickly found a spare piece of waterproof paper in the van, signed and then replaced the cache as found, TFTC
A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I cruised over to Tauranga today. The traffic was pretty good and we visited some places that we had not stopped at before.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

My gps was convinced it was the other tree, so I spent a wee while searching there before trying other options. The hide was immediately obvious once in the right place. Nicely hidden.
Thanks for setting this up

Good find, quick and easy. Was a really cool looking cache, not something u would expect
Teachers on strike today so we went hunting for this one. Thanks for a great hide for 3 grandies ages 7, 5, 4
Thanks for the new cache in matamata. We’d love for more to be placed thank you.
A great G2 hide KGD and I where on a mission around the rural Waikato.
As it was during school time no kids about tftc

After finally satisfying my caffeine craving, we parked in the welcome shade close to this cache. I read the description and looked "in." Oh, yes, I've definitely found this camo in its original hide. It's great to see it being re-purposed. Love all the Kauri trees around here, too. The bmx park was empty, surprisingly. Thanks for bringing us here, G-2
Nice area very quiet here todayand no one using this wonderful amenity That makes my job easiersoon had the unique distinctive camo in hand ..it did look familiar..derr read the brief any way it was much easier to locate at this GZ than its kast home ..Thanks G-2 cool cache as always

one of the last few for the night as we find a quiet spot to park up for the night before tackling Wairere Falls track in the early morning.
No issues locating and signing this one, thanks Glyn for the placements, good to get a few new ones to find!

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… A good day for a drive across the Waikato. It feels like summer today…
We remembered the former cache placement at this location. It was a bit challenging when the facilities were in use… A couple of young ‘bikies’ were honing their skills this morning. We were well enough away to search and sign without fear of muggling. Besides, the camouflage on this hide is so next level, it wouldn’t register for a non-cacher… A really good hide! Thanks G-2. TFTC.

Brief visit in Matamata ... Teamwork with SOLRAC TWO on our little road trip by Waikato highways. Thanks for new placement here G2!

On a round trip to collect newly published caches. Having already had 2 FTF I came here. It had just started to rain. Soon had the cache in hand and moved to where there was tree cover for me to sign. Opened it up to see another blank log. {FTF} 320. Thank you for the placement
