No luck on this one could be gone. Went to the berry farm up the road and consoled our lack of success with their ice creams, it worked!
I believe this has gone again looks like new decoration has been added on the structure so may have been knocked off its perch. Had a very tight and thorough look at all elevations.
A spot of creative photography to put the muggle off the scent on this drizzly december evening. in - shellz shell. TFTC
Well, we are logging this although we found it quite some time ago but unfortunately we logged the wrong one (not sure how that happened) anyways the long and short of it is that we now can claim both!! TFTC's (plural)
I was in the area for an inspection. Found ti on the second attempt, the first time somone was enjoying his lunch. Quick find. I pu it back where it (according to the hint) should be.

I put it back where I found it, but suspect it is higher than planned, based on the clue? Anyway, means you are well out of sight while signing the log!
Found on 2nd attempt. Muggles in camper van at ground zero 1st time round. This was fun to retrieve. Cheers.
Much higher than expected. Needed tall hands to reach it even after a bit of climbing. TNLN TFTC
This should have been an easy find however it took three searchs to find it, i am not sure the cache is in the place it should be? Thanks for the cache.
thought mrs jumboz and i could get this one on way home from hamilton-saw another person looking a bit suspicious and though to one self that got to be another cache hunter and it was - so between both of us and he being a bit taller we sign the log had a quick chat and left -always makes one feel better to see other people acting suspicious as well lol-TNLN
Howdy' grabed on the way home, not for shortys as up high! all good tho! no swaps, Cheers Muzy Man!
Quickest drive up & dash yet! Looks like the cache had crept down a bit - put it back up higher where it should have been.
No need for the GPS on this one. One look at the map and I knew where it was. Easy find, had to watch the muggles though. TFTC
Quick find in amongst discarded beer bottles! Out Tiki Tour and in light stick. TFTC
did these caches with rickamortis after picking him up from the locals St John centre. 1 of well a heap for today.

Quick find on the way home from the out-laws. Lucky the 6 year old is skinnier than me! tnlnsl tftc
Parked across the road up a side street and walked across as their was a guy in a car very close to GZ but he moved off. I was in and out, surprising how big it is inside TFTC

Thanks

First successful find for my son and I. Nice easy terrain, not too hard to reach for us, but I'm glad I brought a torch!
TNLNSL... Thanks!
TNLNSL... Thanks!
Quick cache, longer stop..some of us sat in the car whilst cache was retrieved from it's hiding spot E and I tussled for this one, but she was quicker and taller Played with B in the reserve, everyone! running around playing tag with B and enjoying a pleasant Sunday afternoon
17:11 Found it easily. By that I mean, I stayed in the driver's seat while E of Team EJ & Xmuggle grappled for the honours...
Had a wee chat with the muggles who also pulled up - turns out they had cached before with some friends... All cool!

Happy to find this one after lucking out due to it being awol on my last attempt. First entry of the log is an accidental muggle find, quite an amusing read as already mentioned. Very decent of them to replace it intact.
No trades, TFTC.

30th cache! Clever spot, can drive right up - handy on a pouring day! Had a giggle at the first entry in log book - found by muggles by accident! TNLNSL
Cache is back up and running again - replaced cache with equivalent sized (400ml) systema container
Yes i think it,s gone based on where the other cache at the other end of town.
neat idea.
looks like the east side of the sign has had som work done on it which may have made it dislodge from it's hide

Seems that this cache has grown legs and run away. Will replace as soon as I can.
A disappointing start to a day's cache hunting in Hamilton. Found a typical cache style cut down pencil on the ground at GZ but no cache was found.
Thanks for this cache. I drive past it often, so didn't need GPS. Cheers The Doctor
Stopped in on the way home from Matamata with Geo-Goober to have a quick look at cache

XC was on Xena in Hamilton visiting commanderlings.. TK was visiting TKAunt nearby...
After visit got TK's coords and met her at TKAunt's... Agreed to hunt a couple even though I wasn't feeling the best.
Dialled up nearest and it was this one...
Stopped at GZ parked next to a couple of muggles in car... Hmmm TK checked out location of cache just as muggles drove off.
TK signed the log in her unique style... and I swapped TB's.. Out UK Diabetes TB... In Butterfly TB.
Left calling cards.

take me home Xena

Came home from the Coromandel and saw this and wanted to get it on the way to Auckland but instead stopped on the way home from the Roger Waters concert (great). Nil in or out. Number 200
Quickly filled in the log inside the structure so was hoping nobody would stop - and they didn't. Might have been hard to explain what I was up to

Quick find in a narrow place! An empty but smelly Stock trailer parked next to it hurried us along. Thanks.

Would not of helped as I was at work till 2330 in anycase-well done BL

Easy find... glad this one doesn't have the video cameras on it yet....
Addicted - sure am... on the hunt for a FTF, against Zorgonites & Psychrn. Had a chance, was closer to this than either of them, so ignored the bath filling and took off (Thank goodness for modern technology that turns the bath fill off, at a certain level, like a jug boiling!)
Thanks for the cache, and the opportunity to beat the other two at the chase for FTF. Yippee! 10.25pm.
