Had a really good look for this but no luck.
 
06-Feb-09
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!
 
03-Jan-09
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)

03-Nov-08
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!
 
02-Nov-08
Found on 2nd attempt. Muggles in camper van at ground zero 1st time round. This was fun to retrieve. Cheers.

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

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! Smile
 
02-Sep-07
Quick cache, longer stop..some of us sat in the car whilst cache was retrieved from it's hiding spot Smile E and I tussled for this one, but she was quicker and taller Wink Played with B in the reserve, everyone! running around playing tag with B and enjoying a pleasant Sunday afternoon Smile
 
02-Sep-07
17:11 Found it easily. By that I mean, I stayed in the driver's seat Cool 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!
 
25-Aug-07
8.00am. An easy find but a bit hard for an old bloke to reach! Good to be able to get this one on the second visit. Thank you David
 
25-Aug-07

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.
 
18-Aug-07
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
 
18-Aug-07
A nifty spot - another sign cache!
 
10-Aug-07
Cache is back up and running again - replaced cache with equivalent sized (400ml) systema container
 
18-Jun-07
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
 
17-Jun-07
Had a good look, but nothing found.
 
16-Jun-07
Seems that this cache has grown legs and run away. Will replace as soon as I can.
 
05-Jun-07
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.
 
09-Apr-07
A bit of a squeeze.

Thanks for this cache. I drive past it often, so didn't need GPS. Cheers The Doctor
 
07-Mar-07
Stopped in on the way home from Matamata with Geo-Goober to have a quick look at cache
In - 50c coin
out - Butterfly TB
 
04-Mar-07
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
 
28-Jan-07
Not a problem, but inside of structure full of bird poo! TFTC
 
26-Jan-07
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 SurprisedBig Grin
In: Boromir TB, Out: Nil
Thanks
 
25-Jan-07
Quick find in a narrow place! An empty but smelly Stock trailer parked next to it hurried us along.Big Grin Thanks.
 
24-Jan-07
who needs a gps.... pass this each day on the way to work. found easily, took nothing, left nothing, tftc.
 
24-Jan-07
mmmm... another case of not getting the GC notification for this one.
Would not of helped as I was at work till 2330 in anycase-well done BL
 
24-Jan-07
Went for a drive this morning.
Read the nearby plaque-interesting reading.
tftc
 
23-Jan-07
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.
