animal cache 1 Riverside, North Island, New Zealand
By waatz on 05-Sep-01. Waypoint GC1B60

Was walking along the path and found the remains of this one on the path, was just a container with geocache written on it and some calling cards but it was right by where this used to be so can only assume.

Archiving cache as discussed with owner.

12.00pm. Didn't know this was disabled before we set out on holiday. Found the cache and it's all wet, it looks like a pile of rubbish, and all the contents are either rusty or mouldy

Cheers M+S [:O)] (275)

will cancel cache and add another in smae area

Easy find but everything wet. This cache needs maintenance urgently. The book is wet as well.

An easy find if you don't mind the traffic mess near the bridge. Cache is in very poor condition as nothing is dry. I left all my spare bags at the previous cache. I recomend a cache overhaul to keep this cache active.

Cheers Terrortorian.

Cache is wet Logbook quite damp, suggest bring own pen.

TNLN.

Thanks.

Found just before dark in dizzly rain so sadly couldn't fully appreciate the park. Logbook was slightly damp but still usable. Thanks. TNLN

Quick easy find, and there were few people about. Pen didn't work so had to etch a log onto my page Cheers Gav [501]

Busy walkway (in spite of miserable rainy day). TNLN,
cheers.

Nice easy find close to town.

Hi,
Paper and pen too damp to work. Maybe a plastic container would work better.
Took nothing, left a Christmas cracker.
The walk along the river is lovely.

Found cache this is damp, note book wet.

Found cache at 2345hrs, last cache before starting the long drive home. Would be a nice area to come back to during the day. Cheers for find.

I stopped of to visit this cache en route to Auckland just especially to recover Magic Mickey.

There is quite a story to this. I freed Magic Mickey from our grandchildrens' toy box and placed it in my first cache. A month or two later some of the family were reading a log in which was recorded the uplifting of Magic Mickey and then I was in deep trouble. Magic Mickey it seems has sentimental value as a souvenir of a trip to Disney Land and is not a common old Mcdonalds Mickey.

Anyway, when I spotted his presence in this cache I just had to take the opportunity to make ammends.

Out Magic Mickey
In aussie Koala (friend for the somewhat soggy NZ Kiwi)

This cache in rather dampened state.

I added a couple of ziplock bags but everything was pretty damp.

Nice easy cache on a nice walk way. Sorry I did not have time to dry it out. The cache needs an hour in the sun. Tried to write in the log but ended up with only date and name to damp to write.
Out tiger in Kiwi
Thanks

The next cacher needs to take a waterproof container as everything is getting a little damp. A bit disappointed with the location as previous caches have been in scenic or special places. Thought this could have been in a better spot. Out ceramic (Hairy Dwarf) disc, in another animal of sorts.

Nice easy one to start the day: Only found by reading revised coordinates: Nothing in - Nothing out. Cache in OK condition,,,,,,,,,,,Freefall

So excited to be caching, I forgot to watch for geo-muggles (sorry). Found by following the clues rather than by coordinates - if I had read the log I would have found this out (duh)

Rebagged in dry bag.

Second time at this one. Thanks to the earlier visitor with the correct L/L. Wet day, again. Took nothing left French telephone card.

Jessica strikes again!!! The score's not looking very good for me with finding these

Kenneth wanted some Marbles since Lucas scored some earlier in the day, we replaced them with a wooden puzzle.

Cache is good condition

Nice easy cache to warm up for a days cache-hunting Thanks to previous visitors (M@ & Green Eagle) for a nice dry cache Scribbled the usual in the log. Nil in, Nil out.
- Noted WCC have sprayed extensively along the path and around the tree area, cache is likely to become exposed as greenery dies away. Dropped a load of pre-deaded foliage on it to minimise any unwanted exposure over the next few weeks.

Found myself at Hatea road traffic lights after walking through mair park Coordinates way off thanks to M@ & Nutao found it secound time round. His Coordinates where spot on all cache very wet left nothing took nothing
dryed,new bag,pad and pen

Cache is very soggy. Needs new info sheet and log.
M@ & Nutao

Wet Cache

found it after a while, didnt take anything, off to see if i can get the rest in whangas

Coordinates incorrect, had to buy map and use clues to find cache. Left a CD of Touratech mapping software. (30 day trial)
Zip lock bag has leaked and cache contents very wet

Found only by use of clues as the co-ordinates are incorrect.

Great to have someone up here contributing finally. Added some goodies to the stash.

Congratulations on your first and second caches. I hope these are the first of many. Cheers, Donovan.
