Orewa River cache (Auckland) Red Beach, North Island, New Zealand
By glyn(the only one) on 09-Feb-07. Waypoint GC10VZ5

time to go, so long & thanks for all the fush!

Grrrrrr loaded this before going on holiday. Spent ages looking and had to give up. Disabled while I was away

Yep it's gone, not sure if I will replace. Third time gone

As with others, we could not find the cache today. Used the clue & looked in all the obvious spots, so looks like it could be time for a check.
Nice spot.
Cheers

Had a good look around and nothing there. Perhaps it's been removed

3rd DNF today... eyes must be painted on today... never mind, nice spot, will try again another day.

Found easily on a chilly afternoon walk.Well done on the camo.Took Indoneasian 5 sen, Left Papua New Guinea 20 Toa. I wonder what the exchange rate is ? TFTC.

No 8 on our trip to Northland.Great cammo. + Lady bug GC TFTC

Nice easy find, was a little exposed though, as some of the cammo has come off so the blue handle gives it away... thought we'd let you know as you may want to repair it? Great job though! . Tried to hide it a bit better when we replaced it.

Beautiful afternoon today, we waited until sunset to get this one so there wouldn't be too many muggles around, and it worked.

TFTC!

Nice camo but spotted from a distance. TFTC

Today we walked from Orewa to Stanmore Bay Park and back. It was a great tour. We enjoyed the town, the beach, the weather and lots of great caches.

Thank you so much!

Nice hide and camo work. Made sure it was well hidden again. TFTC.

Mbuckland and one wee buck had just about found this before I had even got the other wee buck out of the car! Nice camo. TFTC

All good. Cammo on one side has come off a bit, this helped me find it.

TFTC / SL / TNLN

Dropped of a NZ 2006 Geocoin while introducing some friends to Geocaching.

Camo starting to look a bit raggedy and may soon need a bit of attention.

#45 the local fishermen were hopefully more interested in their catch as opposed to the dude on the bank. If I hadn't put my hand on it i would never have found it. TFTC

Used the hint and found quickly on the way south out of Orewa. Thx.

Found today on an outing with the little lads in strollers!
Left A Cow, Took nothing,
Thanks for the cache Dude.

Habe ihn leider in der Eile nicht gefunden, hatte nur 5 Minuten Zeit... Grüße aus Germany, Jens-Kuno, www.lok-lauf.de

TFTC - interesting camouflage!
04.11.09. Visited this cache again to drop off the T B. Was hoping to move it further on but looks as though I wont be going very far for a while. Hope it is picked up soon.

TFTC easy found.... 8D

What a well cammoed container! The GPS took us straight to the hiding location for an easy find. We met up with snugglemum again after having met them previously at Clockwork Orange.
TNLN SL. Thanks for placing the cache.

[^] We, being a family of 6 found this cache near the estuary and thought that the cache was very well disguised, good work! Was great to do a swap for a very cute badge, which Hannah collects.

Very clever... TFTC

Oops, I didnt bring my glasses so I managed to date the log 28/10/09 instead of 23/10/09. The result of advancing years and fading brain cells according to Mrs Trout-fly! Quick easy find. Thanks.

Found while on holiday, so hope this is right date as its all a bit of a geoblur. fantastic hide 10 out of 10 for the camo effort! TNLN SL TFTC.

ORNITH and I enjoyed a great vacation together, traveling to New Zealand and Australia for fifteen days, and what a great time we had! As we normally do, we chose interesting caches and quite a few that involved hiking (aka "bushwacking" or "tramping") , rather than racking up a high number of caches. We found the oldest cache in Australia and the first Earthcache ever set! I was visited by a leach and we were both attacked by some black and white crows. We enjoyed rain, sunshine, empty roads, traffic jams, vegemite and meat pies. Our fancy lime-green rental car attracted quite a bit of attention, including a stop by a police officer who mistook ORNITH for another type of person........Oh, so many fun memories!


Hey, fabulous cammo job on this cache! Neat! Ornith and I just barely missed a blowing rain storm. We knew it was coming because we saw several folks start jogging for their cars and we looked back behind us to see what was up.......rain storm, quickly approaching! Ah, spring! The weather can change so fast!

Thank you for the interesting cache. Nice park, great cammo, plus I found a plactic toy horse in the cache to trade for! I also left our signature items.

I like to get a variety of Caches on each of our trips and this one looked like it was close to the water and that is always a bonus -- so, we had to do it. Thanks. This was one of the best camo's Caches that we did out of about 60 Caches that we Logged on our almost 2 week trip to New Zealand and Australia. We picked some of the more interesting and demanding Caches including Puzzles and Letterbox Hybrids plus 12 Earthcaches and enjoyed everyone that we tried. Got the Cache as Muggles appeared but they were quickly dispersed by a very sudden squall line passed through and soked the area. Thanks for a good one!

Thanks to all the Cachers that set the Caches that we found (And didn't 'Find'!!). Photos will be added to the Logs after everything gets accounted for, OK?

Cache On and CITO as you Cache,

ORNITH travelling with Queens Blessing (Wife) from Canby, Oregon, USA -- very near the home of the very 1st Cache ever set that is commemorated by GCGV0P and within 25 miles of 3 of the 4 Oldest Surviving Caches in the World (GC12, GC16 & GC17)!

MANAGED TO PARK CLOSE-VERY CLOSE-SNEAKY HIDE!TFTC

#11 of 77
This was pretty much a drive-by and so G-2 parked the mobile and left me to my own devices for a couple of minutes...could have done with some help as G-2's caches are notoriously sneaky. But we've got our share of sneaky people in Victoria...so the cache didn't evade for long.

on to GC18MBB

Love this area and stay close to this spot on the weekends. Remembered to bring my GPS loaded with waypoints for this area. Walked along the beach between the showers with a friend to find this cache. Last time we looked it had gone missing so it was great to see it in place. Nice easy find. TNLN TFTC

excellent cache, almost a taunt to the muggles this one !

TFTC!

Nice quick find. Helps when you have seen the cammo before. TFTC TNLNSL

great hide ... TFTC
ali, tashy & guiness the wonder rescue dog

First cache ive found, awesome!

Last cache of the day before we headed back to Auckland to fly home (to Chch). TFTC, no doubt we'll be back in the area soon...

TWS as driver, Kiwileon as co-pilot and Greenblat part of the crew.

Spectacular camo. Easy find once I head stepped over the surplus of doggie suprises.

Busy with muggles this afternoon but a bit of stealth and admiration of the view while I signed the log and we were away.

Found together with KiwiLeon & OG Phatazz. TWS driving.
Limited parking!
T4TC!

Excellent camo but Easy Find even with out a GPS... due to my "geosenses tingling" TFTC

well camoed nice find on a wintery mugle free day.

Spent the day with Kiwicouple gathering caches North of Auckland.
Very clever camo job! Liked this one. Thanks.

Our 10th cache of our midwinter run, and it's only 9.20am. We're on a roll. Loved the camo on this one - it really looked like it belonged there. Thanks.

# 467

After waiting a lifetime to cross the road it was a quick find. We managed to not catch the eye of anyone passing by.
Great camo.

Quick find although a few stray muggles walking their doggles. Excellent camo job, co-ords spot on. Dropped off Taylor Teddy TB, T4TC.

2669. The camo gets better and better! A very bitter breeze was pushing us around but that didn't detract from the fun we were having finding caches around the area.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Found with Imgettingannoyed during our 3 n half week NZ mega cache mission!!

Great Camo!! Lot of work put into this one!

muggles fishing not even 10M away, didnt even know we were there. great hide and great camo job

Awesome camo job, even the bugs thought it was real, found in great condition T4TC

Replaced , all good

Glad to know we're not that dumb after all. Me and t'other'arf took a little stroll this morning from our weekend hidy hole to find this before breakfast and before things got busy. We couldn't spot it and thought it must be because we needed coffee. Had another go a bit later but still couldn't find it, now I know why. As you may have guessed by now our query was run before it was made unavailable.

I'll have another go another time. Great spot anyway.

Definately-- MIA, will wait to replace as compromising this one will necessitate (being out in the open the way its been all the time) time out

Spoke to another couple who couldnt find it either as well as a third person who knows where it was but we were still unable to find it.

A nice drive cache. The clue didn't click for us until we found the cache. After that we thought the clue was very clever. TFTC.

Oh so quiet & no muggles about... well almost! luckily spotted 1 walker approaching just before returning to replace cache.
TFTC!

Took a while, there where a few muggles parked so I had to do it carefull. Looked around and then suddenly I had a dejavu.
TFTC nice hide.

This one had me stumped for a little while, gotta learn to trust my GPS! Had to wait a long time before I could return the cache to it's spot without people seeing, so we solved the puzzle while waiting.
Night cachers geocoin not there, prob taken and not logged.
TNSL cheers

Good hide, Found geocoin and left puzzle.

Found Geocoin PC759N, left puzzle. TFTC

Nice hide. TFTC

Another gr8 cache by glyn. He's so clever! Three of us went out on what turned into a night excursion. Our rookie couldn't quite work out the hint, but we got there in the end. TFTC!

With Indiana Jill. Yes took me some time to understand the clue, got there with a little bit of help - go the gadgets. Thanks guys! Lovely spot. TFTC.

Was cracking up as rookie couldn't figure out culinary clue and apply it to the surroundings! Good camo . . . . just out of view enough to make it interesting. Nice spot. I'll go back with a picnic! TFTC. Dropped off Night Cacher coin.

Nice quick find on the way home.

TFTC

#11 for the day, Found this one very quickly even tho it was dark, Cacher Instinct?

found with out gps. great camo

Cold and wet today after the weekend storms - therefore no muggles and easy to find and replace!

Out: tiny whistle
In: "Key to the Kingdom"

TFTC

Had a good walk in the light rain. Surfers standing on boards and using a paddle out by the river mouth - must be practising to surf near volcanoes! Thanks.

Found it before a nice walk on the beach!
TFTC Basti + Jule from Germany

This is our second visit, and we found it. TFTC, great camo. Out: snork dragon, IN: rubber.

Lovely scenic spot. Took Geocoin.

Cunning hide.
Had top wait till muggles moved on.
Had me going a few mins still however.
TFTC

Took a while to locate but thankfully there was not a muggle in sight! Mrs Moosical then claimed the find. Left a GC. TFTC.

Another quick find. Took longer to cross the road (made mistake of parking other side at 5pm)
- earwig (live)

A quick grab between dog-walking or cycling or jogging muggles. A chat with a dog owner while filling out the log, watched another dog having the best time chasing a rugby ball in the river and a jog off to the next cache. TNLN T4TC

Quick find. Good camo.
- golf tee
+ Snork dragon

Early Rizers

Nice easy find, although camo had us tricked for a few minutes. Thanks. TNLNSL

Good short break spot sweetend by a cache.

Very Cheeky hide. Thanks. Left a Geocoin so he can hitch a lift as its so close to the road

10:34 First of the day. Quick find at ground zero. Great spot, enjoyed watching the waves coming in. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

We had searched this location before, but without description and hint, we decided, that the flax was too uninviting. Probably even had our hand on it that time. This time, it was an easy find... Thanks for the cache.
