By Hexy on 12-Aug-07. Waypoint GC15339

Archived due to lack of owner maintenance - please see my last log.

Will visit and replace if required.

DNF. I think the cache has gone awol. There is just a hole in the wall.

Cache missing

Easy find, liked the container. TFTC

Easy find with hint. Many muggles around so it took a while but well worth it. Interesting history, cheers.

Nice spot and a nice walk. TFTC.

found in the dark. Had to read the hint as my muggle friend thought I was nuts poking around the location but was amazed when I soon had cache in hand. Good hide

Clever container well suited to the site. tftc

At last had a chance to check it out and reunite cache logs with container.

found on floor in garden immediatley behind wall retrieved with aid of my trusty caching stick - it consisted of a platic zip wallet only logs were wet so added my own piece of paper which probably wont survive - replaced under camo in correct place - cacher from UK was unaware cache was suspended TFTC

Found the logbook, so added a note with my name.

Will replace soon

Hi Hexy!
Unfortunatly I have to tell you that somebody destroyed the "Q for Queen" Cache. To sad!
The remains of the cache layind behind the stone wall.
By the way are you a man or a woman? The name Hexy would mean "Witch" in german. Thats why I'm asking.
But anyway, Ireally like your little Dunedin ABC, it is a great way to show your place to other people.
I havn't looked for all of them but thank you for getting me around!!!

Found the bag, logsheet and clothes (scarfy colours!)

Took photos - carved my name into log sheet.

Cache was in the trash.
Thanks-Meryl-The Netherlands

Nice easy find. TFTC

Very cunning hide. TFTC

Queen Street rocks again! A quick grab at 2325hrs. Log very fragile and nearly full.

Oh oh - just one more cache before we leave Dunners, please? OK. Cheers Gav [2665]

Did this one with Moneydork.

Great little hide. Thanks.

nice hide

cool cache nice spot to put the cache.

Well, found the hole with 2 rocks in it, but there was no cache. Maybe its amongst the pile of rubbish on the other side of the fence? Student mugglers up the road were having a BBQ on the garage roof, and I'm sure they got an eyeful of my antics!

2269. This was a quick find as the bag with the log and the container were separate and obvious. It would appear from the log that it was found by muggles yesterday who weren't too complimentary in their logs. We are also pretty sure that the students up the hill know about this cache and are watching out for people coming by.

We are not sure what was going on with student today - maybe it was the last day of lectures but we met angels, pirates and all manner of dress ups wherever we went in the city today.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

had done this one about a year ago but I wasnt signed up. Finaly had the chance to go back while introducing a friend to this

Easy find, TFTC. Left the "Q"s alone. Hardly a muggle in sight. Nice old house. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1252)

Another letter in the alphabet. Awesome old house. Family friend connection to this house for us. Remember my father reminding us of it every time we passed. TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC.

Neat way of hiding a cache. It never fails to amaze me the cunningness of a geocacher

after a bit of running up and down the hill got to the right place, TFTC

Very well hidden, great grab on lunchtime dash. TFTC

Sneaky cache. One of those "obvious when you know it's there" ones.
Thanks.

Lots of muggles.
Easy.
Good Hiding.

Nice hide and a brisk lunchtime walk. TaFTC!

Park my car beside this for an hour each week! Very crafty. TFTC

Historical site, excellent view to admire while waiting for traffic and students to pass, and ... this cache rocks, for sure! Sharpener gone missing, so I donated one.

The-Organist and Baby-Organist go down to Dunedin on their first 2-day get-to-know-each-other geocaching trip. Nice easy find, and our first for Dunedin.

Nice urban micro - easy find - no letters left

[Find #369]

Older miss h20 found this one while the rest of us stood on muggle spotting duty. Nice camouflage on this one but quite a busy area. TFTC

Easily found, Nice cache, TFTC, TNLNSL.

Found to day one a quick drive by TFTC

Had been displaced, but found it and returned it to the 'spot'. Found with Migsand

Busy spot, cache had been displaced.
Hope we replaced in the correct position.
Out with Lindas'lot.
TFTC, TinkyWinky.

Popped up on the way home from work - been meaning to do this one for a while. Nice and simple only one 'q' there so I left for another collector. (frost.falcon already has one). TFTC

Quick find, cool container. TFTC

Nice hide and good spot, many thanks.

Quick find on the way home from uni. TFTC

Quick find.
Have been waiting to see one of these used as the container for some time.

-Q (only a couple left now)
+ Nil

nice and easy liked the container.

Awesome. Easy find, and cool hide. Thanks

Another alphabet cache found; and a history lesson to boot. Have often admired this home when passing having read the history before; it good to be reminded about it.
A great cache container! Very appropriate .

Thanks

TNLN TFTC.

super great cache tnln tftc

A new kind of Hexy special micro / small. So blantly visible it should survive. We do have a plan 'B' in case it does get muggled again.

Sadly the Queen has abdicated! Inspiration is afoot and a new Queen will be on her throne in the shortest possible time, hang in there! Hope to have reactivated within one week. Long live the Queen

Found the house, and the spot, matched all the clues, but couldn't find the cache? Found what we thought would be the perfect hiding place, and searched the vacinity... maybe we're not as good spotters as we think we are [?]

Found with rchdlyn & the driver 77. TNLN TFTC SL

A quick stelathy find on a cruise around Dunedin. The palces you can drive past and not notice... Good to stop and visit. T4TC SL

Clever hide. TFTC TNLN SL

Nice easy find. Grabbed a letter - TFTC & the series Hexy.

Nice drive....located with ease. Thanks Hexy

Quick drive-by here. After completing half the alphabet, what we are searching for becomes easier and quicker at most places. A fun series of caches. TFTC

A great lunchtime walk..on a warm Friday.
Easy find thanks for the cache.

Lunchtime walk with TB. TFTC

This was just around the corner from the motel I was staying at, so the first stop on the second night caching trip. Thanks.

Found quickly on a Monday, so no parties full of nosey people.
Took the last 'q'.
Also took USA quarter, left NZ half penny.
TFTC

Easy find, although I almost dropped it in the garden!

Neat old house, and of course made from Oamaru Stone the quarry is only 2.5km from home.

Thanks Bitsprayer

found it fairly easily and there was a party oposite the place where it was found. We pulled of a fairly stealty approach even with some nosey party-goers. Took nothing.
Cheers Hexy!

Woohoo - my first cache!...and I found it without a GPSr. Now I am even more convinced to buy that 60CSx I have been admiring.
Took: 'q'
Left: an American coin, and unused NZ $0.50 stamp
Perhaps the hints make it a bit too easy, although it could have been local knowledge that helped. Like others, I have often passed by and admired, but now I have interacted in some way. Cool.
The plastic bag is ripped, so if I get a geomuggle free chance to return and replace it I will.
TFTC

Do you buy the mints in bulk? Pretty quick find. Cheers.

Nice spot. TFTC

Nice easy find on a sunny, but still not very warm, day.

BTW, where did yo get all those breath freshener tins? Is your neighbour a smoker?

TFTC. TNLN.

Found on my way to uni. I lived on Queen St for a number of years and used to walk past here twice a day. It's a pretty cool spot for it. Thanks!

'Q'uick find while on my way to work. A very nice building indeed - it was nice to open my eyes and finally notice it .
- letter Q. TFTC.

A queue at Q last night! A quick find in the rain.
Grabbed a a letter. TFTC

Nice easy find. Cheers Hexy!

Found this evening after looking for various places that Wandering Gnomes have been. Have admired this house many times but never knew anything of its history.

Yes you have to be quick, 2nd to find by 2min. Quick find, GSVNoFixedAbode's tribe were crossing the road to the cache as we drove up. TFTC- letter

This one popped up on the email alerts and even I was surprised how fast the daughters jumped up ready to go. Good thing too as the FTF race was narrowly won by less than 2 minutes The find honours went equally to Eldest and Tardis Chick. TFTC!
Cheers,

Thought I got there pretty quickly but was only third to find! This letter series is certainly getting folks off their couches. Interesting location for this one - thanks.
