Solid as a Rock (Auckland) Howick, North Island, New Zealand
By KiwiLeon on 20-Oct-08. Waypoint GC1HCX7

Time to go - hiding places is gone.
Thanks for visiting

Will check it out

Not here

Was passing this cache today and I noticed that they had done some gardening around the GZ. I had a very quick look for it, but I'm sure the cache has been removed. I do suffer from "Male Blindness", so would suggest the Cache owner having a look.

Tftc, log paper damp

Easy find once muggles had gone inside. Tftc!

My first find in Auckland. Good hide. Cache all good TFTC SL

Quick easy find

Tftc

Nice easy cache. Be careful of prickly plants. Tftc

Found after a little searching. TFTC

Found as our cache of the day for the August challenge after enjoying dinner with the family at the RSA. The brother was quick to find it! TFTC!

Thanks!

Great hide,, kept kids busy

Nicely hidden but lots of muggers about so timing was everything. Ttfc

Found it, great hide - Miss Jess found this one, first find for the day today. TFTC

Pretty tricky hide...kids enjoyed finding this one.TFTC

First time we have found the area muggles free ... Quick easy find

Dropping stepson back home just around the corner. Thought we were going to have problems finding parking when we drove in, however in the end we found one - right beside the cache, didn't even need to get completely out of the car. TFTC

This one was a quick find for me. You might want to start to think about replacing the log as it is getting full. TFTC KiwiLeon

Log book well full now

log book full

found it

Interesting had a security guard check us out

No luck yet again, not sure where it was and felt rather dodgy digging around for it!

Took me a while but i found it. Tempted to go inside for a drink!

Hi. Log book is full. Plastic bag split

Was in the area, picking up one of the kids Xmas pressy from a trademe deal and arrived a bit too early for the arranged pick up. So turned the app on the phone and hello! A cache 68 m up the road!! Now how could we ignore an offering like that?

Wandered up to GZ and found the co ordinates to be spot on! Cache was found a bit exposed, but I guess if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't see it. Log book is full and on the damp side. Sorry my caching bag was back home so nothing on me to use. Returned the cache back to its spot and added some ballets to keep it in place better. TFT bonus cache!!!

No scribble stick:(

Yay easy find lots of muggles about

Dad and I were racing to find this one - I reckon I spotted it first, but Dad put his hand on it before I could say anything... of course Dad doesn't believe me! I spotted a TB at this cache, Mum and Dad grabbed it.

Mum stood back on this one to give the rest of the team a shot... Dad found this one on a pretty quiet day. We took the TB and left a key ring.

Had to keep an eye out for muggles but Sunday evening made it easier.

This location deserves a cache. Cache was right on the spot. Thanks

Indeed, a very solid rock - had to come back as a muggle was insisting on a phone cal nearby. TFTC

Visiting a caching friend who lives locally and he took for a tour to get some quick finds - so many opportunities in Akld. TFTC

Found with retrokiwi. Well hidden. TFTC.

my first recorded find (since signing up) - a few muggles around but we got there - TFTC

Had to come back for a second attempt due to too many muggles on the first visit. Success on the second attempt. TFTC.

Fairly quick find here tonight - easy to search with no one around. The logbook is full and a bit damp and could do with replacing. TFTC!!!

TFTC. No trackable inside though as shown on inventory. Left a tiki.

I had a wait a little while whilst a muggle sat in his car waited to collect someone from the venue. However, once they'd departed the cache was quickly located.

However, the LB is slightly damp and full.

TFTC

Grabbed this one on our way back . TFTC and greetings from Germany

Nice place to hide a cache! Next time we'll be more careful of the spiky plants!

Log seriously needs maintenance. Very well hidden. Boys got so excited we were at risk of being muggled..

This was well hidden ...the log needs maintenance as it's full. The boys got so excited when we found it we nearly got muggled.

Quick find after thinking about where the cache should be and trying not to look out of place as people walked past.

The log book is full.

Quick find. Camo has worn off, but cache is still well hidden. TFTC

Had to wait for muggles to pass a few times, but otherwise a quick find. TFTC.

Was in the area and decided to stop for this cache. There were quite a few muggles around but we had geo-doggy with us so used her as distraction while we got the cache. Neat hide, TFTC

Luckily we came here on a sunday so no muggles about. Container has lost it's camo paint. TFTC.

On holiday from Australia and came to Howick where Bear grew up. Took the chance to grab this Howick cache outside the RSA where he had many dinners with his parents.

TNLN TFTC.

Lots of muggles around, so thought we'd search again when quieter.

It was busy here just a few days before christmas, but everyone was too busy with other things to notice us lurking around. Didn't take StreetWalker long to sniff it out after I was distracted by some rubbish.

#2850. Searching was tricky with the high muggle factor, but we got there in the end. TFTC.

#5, Found it, muggles around, so had to wait a while

Quick find. Our first in Auckland! TFTC! Great location. ??

Quick grab on a quiet day, was only here a couple of weeks ago for other reasons, caching was a much better one, TFTC

Found it, pretty easy.

Nice easy find. Might need some maintenance as most of the cammo is gone. TFTC

Found it!! Pretty easy find, muggles EVERYWHERE, so be careful.

Fun and easy.

Pleasant lunch in town. Stroll along the high street and return a different way with an easy find and a place to leave a German GC. GINO TFTC

Nice easy find:) no travel bug.

Great find. Log is full.

Yay... an easy one. We liked it

Quick and easy.
Interesting plaque!
Thanks

Woohoo! Our first find. Thanks KiwiLeon

Went early morning to avoid the muggles. Found easily. Good way to start the day. TFTC

Found with a bit of hunting. Cheers

Out east today, caching in the rain! The hardest part of this cache was finding a park. Luckily the rock comes attached to a RSA an associated carpark. Quick circle of the rock and I quicjly spied the hiding spot. Had to sign back at the car when I couple of muggle came out of the building. Safely returned after they left. Cheers for the cache!

Super fast find having arrived at GZ. Sad to say there is no TB inside. TFTC.

Great cache to tick off in between kid drop off's.

TFTC

Visited first some months ago. On that occasion there were too many muggles around. Today we were visiting the premises next door and were able get to GZ while they changed our tyres. Easy find. TFTC

very quick finding!
TFTC

unfortunately didnt find it. New to geocaching but will go back again when its also abit quieter.

On a caching spree with Kevs_Team, my team mates found this one before, a little extra tip and bingo.
SL TFTC and off the the next one

The joys of Geocaching. I have walked past these stones most of my life and never focussed on the plaque.

Too many muggles around so we weren't able to find it, one even said to us "you won't find it in there", not sure if he actually knew what we were looking for! Will try again at a quieter time ...

had to reach right up to get it. quick and easy

thanks

Nice spot. Well done. TFTC.

Nice sneaky find as lots of muggles about TFTC

high muggle area but mannaged to find this one and get out of there asap great fun TFTC

found with "nztinkerbell" and "bastient"

3391. A very easy find. No muggles around. TFTC.

2.15pm. Having had a DNF previously I was surprised at how quickly I found it! Was it always in that spot?
Thank you. David

Nice simple caching trip after work.
Cheers

Muggles coming and going after Sunday lunch. Making it hard to search. Logs helped narrow down the search area. Got cache in hand, then asked if we found it ok.... good to meet Fun2seek.

Came to collect a TB that was showing here, but should have read the logs as it was (is) missing. Met Butterfly_lady and RadioNut50 and grabbed some TB's from them for an upcoming trip. Will log the TB's once Buterfly_lady has logged them herself. Nice to meet you guys.

Had to do a walk by as a security car pulled up as we got there but came back for it once he'd moved on. #1 cache for the night out with kyle891. TFTC

Quick fined found by v

TFTC nice easy find. No travel bug found

This wa our first attempt at a cache and we were so excited.....we looked and found it fairly quick

Easy find. A few muggles about. TFTC

Good one -thanks. Dropped the container, it rolled under a car... got it after a bit of a stretch - was worried that I might have to explain... no need - no-one saw...

Rockkyyy!

Found it! TNLN.
