Hallowed Ground (Waikato) Gordonton, North Island, New Zealand

Looks like the cache is a goner - hiding spot (as per hint) destroyed.

Sorry, fell off my radar

Yep, tree's gone and couldn't find any cache.

Did find this one look and look so give up too.

Got to GZ and noted that the Cabbage Tree is no longer there. There is evidence of a tree as the 3 stumps still in the ground. Looking at the photo on the cache page the tree is definitely gone and suspect the cache too.

Had a look for this one while on our way home, GPS was not being very accurate again today.

A couple of people in the grounds and a number of cars out side the church. Sobad stayed in the car finding the best station for cricket while Mrs scored the cache. TNLN TFTC

Neat find. A place we have driven past hundreds of times but never stopped to have a look. Thanks for the find.

Beautiful little church that goes by in blink when your on the bypass.

Thanks for getting us to stop.

good easy find to start our weekend. TFTC

7:26 Quick find on a gloomy morning, TFTC.

Nice easy find here - placed Australia Northern Territory Geocoin for further travels

100th visitor to this catch, so dipped a coin in for mileage. TFTC

I was on the wrong side of the fence, but found it eventually. TNLN

nice easy one, TFTC. First find on our trip to the airport to collect my mum for her visit to NZ! Left coin.

Came without the hint and failed to find in the more secluded areas. I went to Gordonton School a year ahead of Aaron Hopa, who died an All Black and whose memorial is close to the cache site. Will be back, having noted the hint.

Stopped off at this cache on the way to Auckalofa. Nice spot and crackingly hot day.
Nice easy find for the kids after a long drive. TFTC

Quick find on way home on a trip to find the second clue in the 'Rotund series...

Quick and quiet visit. Retrieved William Hobson GC.

Grabbed this just as it was starting to drizzle on my way to Auckland to clean out our office. Cheers Gav [4651]

Quick and easy driveby find. Thanks. Very sad to see a young woman sitting by a grave, with all sorts of stuff laid out around her. She was having a picnic and chatting away top who-ever was buried there. She was clearly very upset.

Kaitlyn dove on in and got this one, her first!

Went searching for this one using the iPhone, which put us in the wrong spot Eventually common sense kicked in and it was a quick and easy find.

Quick stop in the company of kiwifeet & kiwicouple and a quick find by torchlight. T4TC.

Still heading south to Rotorua with Kiwicouple and Rosmar. It was starting to get dark by now - we are taking the scenic route! 5 people with almost as many GPSrs made short work of this one. Thanks

TNLN TFTC

Nice quick find on our way home.

Left CC and Handmade bead. Took TB.
TFTC

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

quick find on a damp morning

Took me a while to find this one - coords seemed to be about 10m off. Is that just me? Easy enough to find with the clue.

Took Nothing, Left Nothing. Thanks for the cache

Found it on a sunny Sunday, the day the balloons were over Waikato!!!!

Easy find on a week day. Took Swedish geocoin for further travels around the North Island. TFTC

I liked this one - because I found it before all those experts in my team! Man, going on a day's caching with them can be tough on the ego, but this little number got me feeling good about myself again. TFTC!

Nice stop. Seattle's Best loves cemeteries. Made another stop nearby too and that one cost us some money! Left NickZse's Swedish Geocoin 2007 #1 that has since been moved on by capable people.

Off caching with the team today. Enjoyed the restful spot.... Thanks for bringing us here! TFTC!

This is a quiet little spot. The muggles all seemed keen to watch the traffic go by on the nearby road. TNLN. TFTC!

Lucky it was early in the day and the road crews were only just arriving to set up for a days digging. TFTC

Got a bit scratched and bitten but success was ours. TFTC

This was an easy find with the help of the hint. TFTC

The wet weather gave us good cover for this cache. Everybody was too busy watching the road. TFTC

Another great cache in a wonderful quiet spot
Thanks for the unoffical series TWS, we really enjoy them!
TNLN TFTC

Quick find almost muggled. TFTC

Thought the brickwork was really nice and such a well kept cemetary as well. Maybe the hide would be better over by the boundary where you wouldn't easily be seen. TFTC

Quick find on the way back home. T4TC - M@

This one almost eluded us - though it would have been easy with the clue. TNLN TFTC

For once in a lifetime I had lots of people under me!

Swift find. Very neat and tidy grounds. Not that peaceful, with the busy road nearby.
TFTC

Found quickly, left a TB, "Come Home" wants to go to Canada.
No other trackables in cache. Lovely little country church, TFTC.

1st geosearch of the day. We found the cabbage but not the cache, I guess our searching eyes were not going well today. It was nice to visit this church again anyway.

4.30pm. Quick find in the rain. Left a T.B. Thankyou. David

The GPS pointed straight at the cache making it a quick find.
+ a marble, - nothing

No Problems, No Muggels, No Rain *IoI*
No Trade

It was my first Geo-cache so it was hard but look around not just where your GPS says.

Lovely Olde English style church. In-Shellz shell. out- nil. TFTC

Found in the company of the inimitable XenaCommander.
TechnoKitten has been very slack with logs and is finally catching up.

Another restfull cache to add to my list.
Thanks #359

Nice easy find, Church & grounds in immaculate state, hope I didnt disturb any body finding this cache! TNLN Cheers Muzy Man

Called in to pick up Geocoin.

TWS, with all these restful places you have placed caches in, have you picked a favorite one for yours yet
Swapped GCs.
Cheers for the cache.

nice easy find and the first ever find for my 3 1/2 year old on his own, so thanks for the cache

TFTC, another peaceful spot

Nice easy find on the way home.
T4TC

Ezy find. Nice spot by church.
Geocoin Frogley jumped in.

Had my head in the shrubbery when Grumps said 'some buggers looking at us'. I dove out of the bush thoughts running through my mind on how to explain why I was in a shrub beside a church on a day like this.

But a sigh of releif when I saw the GPS and realised they were cachers.

It was nice to meet you.

TFTC.

Hehe, is not often one encounters suspicious looking characters lurking around Churchs on a drizzly day. Cachers sprung cache in hand. This was of great amusement and a chance to have a quick chat with Pooke nice to meet u. Thanks.

13:25 Found enroute to Auckland. Well, Pooke did! We sprung him as we did a u-turn and parked! Jumped out waving the GPS and shouting 'We know what you're doing!'. Nice to meet you!

SL in the rain and Pooke was volunteered to replace the cache. Cheers mate! Thanks for the cache - blossoming trees were spectacular today.

Sniffed this out with my Boss & Xmuggle. GenCuster signed the log for me. Thanks.

Easy find @ 11:58

TFTC

Tree next to church in spectacular blossom.. Took some great pics.. Thanks for bringing us here.
