Cache Ho!!! (Auckland) Narrow Neck, North Island, New Zealand
By Skatelong and mitchellisdabest on 30-Sep-08. Waypoint GC1GRE4

Archiving as I rarely find the time to geocache anymore.

Still no luck, can the ownwer please check it is still there.

12 eyes were not enough. Is that cache still there? There are so many children frequenting that park, one of them might have find it.

A Trade Me pick up beside this park, so a quick play on the boat playground, and then grab a cache as well - except it was nowhere to be found. Checked out heaps of trees, but this one eluded us. Hope it is still there.

Needed a break from the days caching and what a great park to do so. Still slipped in and found this great cache. Uplifted TB left Poker Chip. TFTC.

Found this quite easily on second visit to site. Left Samson TB, took m&ms keyring and toy lion. Thanks.

The start of a wonderful day. We (together with dh1saj) want to go for the 7+ challenge cache today. So off we go.
This should be an easy traditional cache, but a do not find for us. Please check

Very quiet with nobody around. TFTC

Junior Pastamakers headed straight for the excellent playground which meant the grown ups had to poke around in the bushes. Mrs Pastamaker took the honours on this one.

Interesting little park. Have taken young grandsons to play here several times on previous visits to Auckland. This time had GPS and list of caches in the area.
Grandsons more interested in play than hunt though!

Yay found it and kids loved the cache tftc

Wish we had more time in Auckland to find geocaches. This one lead us to a great part of the city. Jenne and Peter NSW Australia.

Nice park with the nautical theme happening. Found while visiting Darby & Joan , closing on 1000 cache finds for them. TFTC

#996 Despite the weather it was a planned effort to secure our 1000th cache today, with The Rambling Duo (brother) from New Plymouth who introduced us to caching just over 3 years ago. So donned the rain gear and set off today around Devonport. Nice park, quick find. SL. TFTC.

Found the boat park and then the cache with dedicaching.

Last one for the day for us. Quick find with snakelion. Nice hide

Very well hidden took a little bit to find!

… Thanks for hiding.

All kids at school so had park to ourselves-neat boat-tftc

The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
Out for a quick mid week caching excursion with rest of the Y-cach-o's.
TNLN, TFTC.

Yeah OK, now I can understand the title after calling in here this evening with the boys from The Tron

Another cache where we needed to be quiet this evening due to the proximity of houses. No problems here though for team Y-cach-o.
Many thanks

Auckland night out for some the Y-Cacho’s boys

Quick find by team Y-cacho on a Devonport tour for the evening. Plenty of the said specimin around here.

Found with Team Y-cacho's

Quick find by team Y-cacho on a Devonport tour for the evening.

Quick find as too wet for the kids to come out and play.

Yahoo!!! We found our first cache! Still a bit damp inside - gave everything a bit of a drying off on a warm Saturday afternoon. On to the next.........................

TFTC

Tftc. It's a little damp and the log book is full.

It was too!
I always thought that with boats, the water was supposed to be on the outside - park a bit damp today.
thanks, Robmc.

A nice little park and thanks to the good clue we made a quick find.
Thanks

Lots of muggles out enjoying the sunny winters day, none were interested in me.
A quick find. TFTC

Cool park couple of mugglers with children but far enough away not to be worried

what a great park, thanks for bringing us here, the little ones had a long play whilst adults hunted nearby. After it was only a short hunt and the cache was ours. TFTC.

tftc

found with yo mum - our 8th of 20 for the day. we almost accidentally stole some soccer balls from 2 kids in the playground... thought they had been abandoned since the kids were hiding in the slide the entire time we hunted out the cache. yo mum made the find, thanks for the cache!

Kids thought the playground was great and doubled up at keeping muggle kids at bay! TFTC
Took small car and left a shark!

great start to our geocaching adventure!

Easy find. Interesting playground. Liked the old anchor. Thanks for the visit. Lid of container could do with more paint.

Easy find. Cache requires a new logbook. TFTC

Quick and easy cache. Was surprised there weren't any people in this nice park. I was a little worried about the neighbours I heard talking (but couldn't see), but I don't think they noticed me.

Short walk with my GCDD (GeoCaching Distraction Dog) to the cache - with the hint easy to find TNLNSL cheers

Tftc

TFTC! Had fun in the park...

Nice quick and easy find in a fantastic little park. My 3 year old would have had lots of fun if she's have been with us today..

Cache is very wet - needs drying / new logbook

Great little park. Another area in Devonport with local themes. TFTC

Tftc. Rainy day - no one here!

Ahoy there, permision to come aboard? Quick find, and luckily was out of bushes when family arrived to board. TFTC

No problem with this one, a quick find. SL TFTC

nice place for a cache, felt a bit exposed next to a house TNLN TFTC

Took a few minutes, not exactly where my GPSr was telling me.
TFTC

Quick and easy find in a nice park. Thanks.

Quick find in a nice little park
TFTC

5 finger is short as had had a good trim. Cache still in place though. TFTC

nice easy find TFTC

1st of our caches for the day. Decided to visit the North Shore to enjoy the sunshine. Ground was very wet and GPS had me about 4m from actual GZ. In hand soon enough. TFTC

Straight forward find here. No one using the playground today, maybe something on TV? Grass needed a mow, but probably too wet to get tractor mower into reserve. TNLN

#42 of 77
Our 42nd cache find for the day...the three of us were starting to feel like Cache Ho's about now
As we were looking for the cache, I heard some old bloke yell out "Have you found it yet?!?" - at first I thought...what? cache owner live over the fence? But I think it was the old guy asking his wife if she'd found his trousers yet.

Thanks for the cache, can't comment much, on a *Mission* today!

Out with Glyn and BackPAQer today to see how many caches three guys can find powered only by Wild Bean Cafe coffee and ham rolls. The weather was wet but the spirits were high.

Quick find in an overlooked spot.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Really wet grass after recent rains but an easy find.

Found this one after the rain stopped. Took less than 5 minutes to find. TNLN TFTC.

Sweet found it with the help of Mad_Simmo

Learning what a tree is!!

couldn't quite see the boat but a pleasant & hidden park. NINO. TFTC

No luck today even with two of us looking. Oh well, maybe next time.

Spent about 5 minutes looking for this one, used the clue, but no sign of the cache, must be going blind due to the amount of caches that we have being looking for today, oh well, never mind, too well hidden for us.

Great park for the kids. TFTC

Quick easy find. It took some effort to keep the logbook dry in the rain.

TFTC

The WP seemed to be 8m into private property, but as a solid fence prevented that approach, we resorted to the hint. Easy find then.
Great play equipment here. Enjoyed our visit.

Quick find early on a Sunday morning with no muggles in sight. T4TC.

Quick find in the rain while in the area.
TFTC

A tricky find in the rain, but I worked it out in the end.

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Here over the ditch from Brisbane. Located cache OK. SL. TNLN. Thanks.

Cool looking playground. Took a while to work out exact GZ but no problems there, TFTC, Biggles.

Took a while to find the right five fingered tree...had to rely on the GPs in the end but daughter & I had a ball in the play ground. TFTC

Out - Key Ring

In - 3x marbles

Neat playgound. Nice easy find. TFTC

Cool playground, can see why the cache is named as such. Nice hide. TFTC.

2.45pm. Thought the childrens playground boat wonderful. Must keep it in mind for when our granddaughter is big enough. Straightforward find.
TFTC.
+ stone keyring;
- domino

XC and TK came here and both poked and scratched around the likely spots... I don't think it is there..
Will return when we know it is there.
Cheers

Nice easy find - no muggle problems, very quite today. In - Navy badge, Out - jandel keyring. TFTC.

Found as part of the kiwifeet team.

Lovely big playground here. Empty at the time so no muggle problem while searching the graden. We needed to search a bit as the co-ordinates seemed a bit out.

#83

It must be the place to meet Geochcachers. We arrived and were concerned because a young boy seemed to be watering the very spot (another good reason to wear plastic gloves whilst geocaching) but no he had found the cache and kindly handed it over. TFTC Lovely park

This was a quick find (helped by the clue!), we met a fellow geocacher here. Swapped a toy car for some marbles.

'clan glennie' did all the work for me - caught them red handed . Good talking to you guys!
T4TC - M@

Found the area quiet today, so we were able to search - though quietly because of the neighbours! Probably the nearest cache to our daughter's house. SL. TFTC.

Found with Bumble B
T4TC

After we had found the cache (great camo, thought it was a rotting beercan), we enjoyed the playground. To infinity and beyond...

Found eventually, took a while!! thought it was muggled as there was a snap lock bag nearby! but found just as we were giving up!!

TNLN TFTC

Cache seems too small for so many of the little flax. I'm sure its there but I didn't have the time to under one of many plants.

Quick find on the return trip, place was a little busy earlier. TFTC

#10 today. The kids loved this playground while Mr SWW quickly found cache. -Snow White & Belle + Soldier & Bag of Marbles. TFTC

Found on second attempt. First time I assumed, that the cache had been muggled when the bushes were clipped. Second time around we had more luck slightly to the side of GPSr. Neighbours must wonder if this is a popular place used as 'bush toilet'. Thanks for the cache.

How Weird
mayby to well hidden for myself to refind after hiding

oh well
will keep cache active
might move later on if cache becomes too visible.

Nice little find with Indiana Jill, KayaknKiwi and Seattle's Best on the way to dinner at Devonport - but amazing how many five fingered bushes can be in a small spot - and only one of them's got the cache!
