Floati Roti (Waikato) Rotokauri, North Island, New Zealand
By Sophfinder on 16-Aug-08. Waypoint GC1F9Z7

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

The broadwalk is closed. The Council are either going to repair or replace the broadwalk after July.

Disabling until I can replace it.

Nothing to be found
Nothing on the very obvious hook.

Nice walk and great find for team Chikchax! Did not sign the log as it has become rather soggy in the recent moisture. TFTC!

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

I accidentally won an online auction soooo.... it's off to the Waikato so I can chip away at the endless caches I still have to find here.

This cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords but I'm not sure if I found this in the way it was meant to be hidden. Less hint - more title I'm afraid but the log is still dry so that's good.. I've been looking forward to a wander around Lake Rotokauri for a while now so it's nice to be out here finally. Cheers kiwiteachernz, TFTC

Glad we read the clues, had the potential to get very wet otherwise!

Found with Spudge on a mornings adventure. First find for the day. TFTC

We decided to venture out with the 6 month old and 2.5 year old for a morning's adventure. A quick find after dodging the showers.

Took a while and got dirty knees but found it!

The second time to search for the Roto caches around the lake. This time with M14. The East side is finished so we parked in the middle. Of course we where looking in the bush first. Then turned around and spotted it close to the track!.

Thanks for hiding kiwiteachernz!

On the Down low

And the duck walked up to a lemonade stand

Second attempt at finding this cache as my previous attempt had too many people walking along the walkway. Soon spotted the cache, signed the log and off to try and find more. Greetings from the UK.

??

Easier than we first thought, like everyone before we headed off track to find that wasn't nessecary at all. Great cache, thanks.

TFTC

Bit boggy here so Mrs Jag went on ahead and found we needn't have gone off track after all!

Walking round the lake today with Supernanny and Merlot58, we missed the easy approach to GZ. Following our GPS instead, we made this one a lot harder than it needed to be and some in our group got wet feet. Once at GZ, the cute container was soon spotted and we made our way back to the main trail along the boardwalk.

On an adventure in Hamilton with Supernanny and Jag50. We made this harder to get to than it should have been as we followed our compass instead of taking the path so got wet feet. Then we found the easy way where our feet would have stayed dry

Nice!

Out for the day geocaching with friends, enjoying the nice walk to go with it.

Out for a walk around the lake today with friends, and also to pick up a few smileys. Quick find here and scores a favourite point. TFTC

#356. Lovely if a bit windy winters day. So out for a walk in this neck of the woods. Very accurate co-ords assisted the quacking of this GC. GC all in good order. Tftc.

Despite a very cold wind, the sun shone down and thanks to 4robf4 being prepared to get down to it, we found GZ.TFTC

Had nice break at the like nearby. Last hide for me in the area. Well used my torch to locate it. Not necessary! Well placed hide. Enjoyed! All good at GZ. Thanks!

Awesome cache package.

Followed all the clues and read back on previous finds but still couldn't find. Led astray for a few minutes by tracks. Will come back again another day

Found this one no worries, nice walk through this part. Tftc.

Team BOP team up once again for an impromptu pre-Xmas caching mission in the Waikato.
Squirrel nutcase had his list of recent caches to clear the area again, Flossy had a few targeted, while Myself, Jandals and DC were going with the flow.

Thanks for bringing to this nice area I hadnt discovered before.
A quick easy find.

TFTC

Out with Teambop for the day getting a few caches .
Tftc

Giving up on these ones. Far too wet, far too boggy. Even with good shoes on the terrain is too bad.

It's stll there and accessible all year without gumboots ... if you find the path .

A pleasant walk to GZ, but sadly it just resulted in a DNF. Doing caches in this area cannot be done without wellies. Good walking shoes are no good. After carefully leaving the boardwalk, and trying to get to the trees, the ground was just too soft to walk on, and I had to abandon the search. Along with other caches that I just walked past because they were properly rated for terrain, it appears that coming here was a bad idea.

A cute little cache found quickly in good condition. The floti boardwalk is a bit strange to walk along though. TFTC.

Decided to go for a caching mission this afternoon after not finding any for about a month. Enjoyed walking down this wee boardwalk path. Was a bit confused by the hint when I got to GZ as there didn't seem to be anything that matched but after reading logs I figured out where it must be hiding. Cutest cache of the day and that deserves a favourite point thanks for the cache!

In Hams for a couple of days, had lil grandaughter with me, so cant go too much further, had trouble finding trail heads, and there dosent seem to be a track right around, will investigate further another time, thanks anyway and a fave for this as the delight in her finding it was priceless. Many Thanks.

Very cool cache, didn't take us to long to find it once we'd pinpointed the location.

This was a quick find on a very cute boardwalk. Quack you very much for the cache!

Found this ducking easy on a beautiful boardwalk. Tftc

Found it. High and dry today.

Easy find thanks

Quack Quack, enjoyed finding this one.

Tftc

Quack quack haha

No pen so providing evidence:) nice wee find staying on boardwalk. TFTC!

Great! A FP from us for this clever placement. All dry here today and very pleased to see that we weren't required to go off the boardwalk - that just wouldn't be right! Tftc

Back again in Hamilton for another short work week and decided to stay a 1-2h longer to avoid the traffic back to AKL. Enjoyed the walk around the lake within my pink gumboots. Cute. TFTC

Very cute find. Tftc

Nice hide

After the nearby event today I decided to have a walkabout around Rotokauri Lake. It was a pleasant day for a pleasant walk. It surely floats as at one stage it felt as if I was walking on a swing bridge. Loved the backup system if a "What if" situation arises.

Cheers for the cache.

Pretty Easy

I tried to capture all the caches in this area today on a walk with my daughter however the rain had other ideas and this was the only one we managed to find. What a lovely area and so close to the city. Definitely a good spot to come back to when the weather is much better and it is drier underfoot.

This was a sad day at all! After nearly four weeks at amazing North Island I had to leave this beautyfull country at the evening. But still I had this day and after spending the night in Hamilton I started with a nice stroll along this lovely lake. The sun was shining (as usual), I met friendly people (as usual), saw a beautyfull landscape (as usual) and picked up some nice caches (as usual).

Thank you for a nice start of the day and for the caches.

Great location for a bike ride. Forgot to bring tho.

cool part of the walk nice short cut, how ever got a little lost coming back along the path

Went with another cacher from work & some converts. Loved the cache container. TFTC

cool. my 6 yr old found it and was dead chuffed

Nice walk in the country

Being cautious types we walked our bikes along the board walk. The cache was right where the gps said it was.

Very cleaver

Somewhere I missed reading the part about the boardwalk. Walked along a path until I got at right-angles to mark and went in cross country style ... . Came out of the jungle to see the boardwalk and discovered cache. Yep ... if there is a hard way of doing it ... I'll pick it! Cheers for the cute cache.

No floati today as all dry at GZ.
Even the wild life was high and dry. Tftc.

Took a walk along the boardwalk did not pass go and found our prize ......... not much floating going on today.

Cheers

Looked high and low and up and down but we couldn't find it. Will have to come back

This one is cute. Took a bit of finding but the clue helped. TFTC

Enjoyed the walk through this area. TFTC

Very cute cache. Fun to find

in the rotokauri area TFTC

Quick walk to fill in another dot day, cache in good order. TFTC!

Found with Rastace. Cute cache. Tftc

Another find with gherk and the dogs. Nice place to spend the morning. Tftc.

I had a friend visiting so looked for somewhere non-urban with several geocaches and decided upon Rotokauri. I do enjoy the boardwalks around the region and the simple boardwalk hides, although this one made a pleasant change from the usual type. Thanks for the cache.

Nicely hidden cache

Tested the accuracy of the old GPS vs the iphone. GPS won. Would have needed the waders with the iphone.
Nice hide. TFTC

Cute Cache. Thank you

We had a day off from our Bridge Congress so we thought a walk around the lake would be pleasant before the forecast rain.

We stopped and talked to some boys fishing at the lakeside. As we left they hooked a fish much to their delight but unfortunately it got away, as they do

Walked down the boardwalk and found the fun hide which put a smile on our dials.
TFTC

445 Not good on floating things. But no problem today. No movement as no other people around.

Wow TFTC!

Needs new log book thanks

Tftc

I Laughed when I saw what the cache was attached to TFTC

To the tune of the song from the lego movie

Pontoon bridge is awesome
Pontoon bridge is cool when you're Geocaching
Pontoon bridge is awesome
Don't fall in the stream

(I know its not a steam but it rhymes, oh and log is pretty full)

This was a great find. dad found it.
quack quack

Forgot to write this, may need a new log

Great cache conatiner loved it. TFTC

Was a bit thrown at first but got it

Nice hide

TFTC

Nice walk around lake never been here before

I did enjoy your floati scorcher of a day so carried on to the next cache hopefully in the shade.tftc

Floati Roti was really enjoying the shade. tftc

A nice and easy find. Lots of zig-zaggy boardwalkery! Thanks!

Great hiding spot, and nicely themed. I could see where others may have left the path in search of the prize, but I took a different approach and stayed clean and dry. Thanks for this one.

Amazing day for it!!!

with @Haydenwymer

Whilst at Lake Rotokauri I traversed the boardwalk to find this little duck. TFTC.

Found!

The nano cacher was particularly impressed with this cache (as shown by his attempt to eat it!). Thanks for a great excuse for a walk and a few more smilie faces.
