Back for another look for this one. Cache co-ordinates are wrong, but previous logs got us looking in the right spot to make the find.
Found today near the end of a long caching day . I ignored the coordinates on my Gps as it didnt appear to show the updated position and used the hint instead and some common sense. Thanks Uncle Brian for replacing this - loved the hide!

Am on a mission to fill my calendar matrix. Am collecting caches reasonably close to home. Master Dean spotted this straight away, as luckily we have done a cache similar to this before. It was very quiet and not a muggle in sight. TFTC
Searched for this for about 10 minutes but cod not find, probably gone, unless it has been hidden much better than it's rating suggests.
Either this one was gone, or its difficulty rating is way too low (or I'm an incompetent cacher 
.
The sub-station has now been repaired and is safe, not that you need to search there now anyway

No muggles about, but just couldn't lay my hands on this one, despite 2 visits within 2 days... 
Got a 'buzz' out of finding this one so quickly with no muggles around to distract. TFTC.
Out and about in the area tonight and decided to make a quick detour for this cache. It is so nice to have these warm summer evenings available for caching. Easy parking and a simple find.

Had to come back and add a favorite point for this one...its my first cache find! Hopefully it comes back soon!
Then I was there, the neighbor came out of his garden and asked me, that I am looking for one of these "Internetboxes". He said they see people looking for it very often. So please be careful, that this nice cache is not removed by any muggels!
. Nice easy cache.
Out and about for a little night caching before the cold snap hits. Super quick and easy find here. Didn't even take the GPSr out of the car! Cheers for the cache!
I was in the area this morning, so I popped into the park for a quick find. Thanks for this one.
Found this OK after some muggles went past, replaced it after they came back past again.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Dried out logbook and replaced missing pencil and replaced zip-lock cover. Had to wait until all the schoolkids went home past the cache. Wasnt too hard as I live three houses along from the cache site.
Really easy find since the cache and contents was lying out in the open. Contents was VERY wet. The zip lock bags I carry were a tad bit small for the log so I couldn't replace it. Placed a couple of my trade items in the empty cache and placed it back where I thought it was hiding.

NZ11. A nice small park and no one about. I wonder if anyone will wonder about the tracks in the grass. Thanks.

Took my six-year-old daughter with me on our first caching trip. This is a great little find and a nice hiding spot. Thanks!
Had a nice lie down in the shade while Helefant got the cache, awesone geocoin took some time inspecting it with mr UGTME...sad about the guardian though.
Found with adult kids (Alianne of Tortall & UGTME). They made me do the retreiveing & replacing due to the smelly cache gardian. Took the rather nice geocoin, didn't want whoever had writen in the logbook to comeback and find it. TFTC
Unfortunately the cache guardian (hedgehog) met a timely end... right by the cache!

A simple straight forward find in the drizzle. Log book has a few unsavoury words that I have never seen in a cache log book before. I suspect some local teens have been adding to geocachers' legimate entries, but at least the cache has retained its location.
Nice quick find. Enjoying my tour around Auckland with excellent weather again today. SL TFTC
this was a refreshing break from all the puzzle caches we had to do in this area. nice size too! TFTC
Found it with assistance from hardcorepawn. My first geocache find! yay! T4TC.

Sorry for the late entry, Uncle Brian. Forgot to log! Out with Indiana Jill, Kayaknkiwi and BookwormMum for some birthday caching (BookwormMum's birthday, that is!) TFTC!
Out for a bit of light caching with Bookwormmum (birthday girl), Indiana Jill and Seattle's Best. Great area, BWM came up with the goods on this one. Thanks for the adventure! TFTC!
Cache tucked in nicely, which simply meant that Indiana Jill got a great shot of my backside as I retrieved! Is that any way to treat a lady on her special day? Would have expected some protection from Kayaknkiwi and Seattle's Best, but evidently not! TFTC!
Cache was clearly visible and exposed from my approach. Tucked further back in to prevent muggling. T4TC.
Visiting someone in the street so had to stop for this one. Quick find but I can see how this could have been muggled in the past. TN and left a beetle I think. TFTC.
Had to disable it for a couple of months until the interest from some secondary pupils wanes. Will place it back whan the ground gets wetter, that might stop them. looks like the log book has disappeared also.
Found the cache contents in the open on the ground and the lid off the cache. Put everything back together and replaced back in its hiding place. A bit more supervision of the youngsters required maybe. TNLN SL TFTC
Our Daughter really enjoy having a good go with this one on there own we watch them with Joy. TFTC
As you suggest, a quick and easy find, but satisfying nevertheless. Thanks. TNLN.
Nice easy find in the early hours. Taking the jeep to the next one.
Biggest mozzies near site that I've seen for a while!

Lovely day for some local caching. Nice little location that we were not familiar with. Found with Gillibeans.
Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 960. Thanks.
Quick find while out for a walk with the family. Took the shortcut through the park and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Kids waited in the car while a found this one. Quick enough too.

I have been putting this one off as I cant always get the kids to join me. Saterday morning and all was good, we had fun. TFTC
Popped out at lunch to do this one. Nice quick find between rain showers. TFTC TNLNSL
Took ages to find cool hiding spot GPS coordinates were wrong as usual and i found it my brother didnt .
.(No.11) on the cache raid and it is definitely not about the numbers (TUI),this was a very electrifying experience, managed to get to it before all the local muggles woke up, cool little spot, TFTC TNLNSL (862)
A nice easy cache after the problems with "Retrieval may be a problem". Nearly found it by road-map only.
An easy find - knew just where to look for this one. Felt a bit exposed to the neighbours.

just a quicky on the way home, picked up the Trackabulldog Gecoin and was on my merry way. TFTC
Easy find on our day out caching the area dropped of travel slug - on hols from uk TFTC #646
Near the BP where I fueled to drive south. Timed well too (around 9:30) so I didn't have muggle any trouble. Got bitten by a mosquito while writing on the log though. TNLN TFTC
A nice quick find.Nice easy find. Had to wait a while for neighbour muggle to get their car out and go before I could replace. TFTC, Biggles.

Maybe an easy cache in the daytime...... a bit harder at night, Especially when you are trying not to draw attention to yourself with the torch light while the house down the road has a raging party going on.....

Nice easy cache. You're right Uncle Brian, it makes a pleasant change from the difficult puzzles. TFTC
Found in the company of the inimitable XenaCommander.
TechnoKitten has been very slack with logs and is finally catching up.

It's great getting to do a nice straight forward cache once in a while to recharge the old batteries.
Cheers for the cache.
