gone again. will revive

Gone, will replace

Had a brief search for the cache by a muggle with his guitar came and sat next to me and then started to engage in conversation. After 10 minutes, and after he removed his socks and shoes and started singing, I gave up and continued on my stroll.

A bad day for DNFs. Another one that could be missing? Searched the seat, but no sign of a cache - even the eagle eyed R was stumped with this one.

After reading that the cache had been replaced, I went there after work, and this time success.

Cool little find for a Saturday walk.

Out and about with the Future Finder looking for a good walk. After finding the cache just a few metres down the way we pocketed this cache. Nice quick find. Cheers for the smiley!

#822, Quick find for the kids, didn't need the GPS for this one. TFTC

another park bench to rest the wary bones on.

Dont know how many times I've driven past here and never seen this "Pocket Park" before, It just goes to show I do drivve with my eyes closed, TFTC

Found during a sunny Saturday afternoon geocaching with my friend Sasha and her son. TFTC.

Neat little mini cache to introduce newbies to. Recommend you "tie your shoe lace" or something as there are heaps of cars going by!

Replaced with smaller cache

will need to replace

On my hands and knees to find.... nothing, maybe gone.

Could not think about much magnetic here, where I suspected I couldn't find. Maybe gone ?

Took the grandson back so he could find it and it didn't seem to be in the same place? Odd
Couldn't find it anywhere this time around

Our first one!! A night time delight!

First one so far, thanks

found quite easy but very hot in area

easy cache in nice spot

fascinating history, while we sat down a gorgeous grey cat came and explored with us. tftc

Could see the cache before getting to the area,

Nice little park, quick find. : )

Was out on a bit of a night-caching mission, which didn't prove too successful, but ah well, had fun!
This was the first actual find, and yay for it! I swear most of the other ones I looked for aren't actually there! I mean, I did pretty much mostly search for roadside ones and such. Maybe I was just having a bad day?

But got this one pretty quick. On the way to the GZ from where I'd parked, I actually saw a friend of a friends! Like that was so random! Esp since I'd just seen the friend moments before! Wow! Luckily noone was around in the pocket park though!

TFTC!!

One of those funny little bits of green that Auckland specialises in. TFTC

quick and easy. an nice little slice of history in my own back yard

First cache of the year with my sisters. Woke up at 6am for a series of caches. TFTC

A fun way to discover a great little park. Thanks for showing us something we have often been past before but never stopped to look at until now.

Easy find on the night the Bokke beat Samoa in North Harbor

TFTC. A wee cutie. Lush planting in a corner of Takapuna. Car driving about with NZ flaga is support of the Rugby World Cup.

New water proof logbook, all good

Log book still saturated so was unable to log name.
Plastic bag is doing a great job keeping the water in

Not sure if you got a message about the log book being saturated on this cache?

Quick find but log so wet not able to sign. It needs maintenance urgently

TFTC

Nice and easy after the hairdresser's TFTC!

It smells a lot said one of the team. Mostly of flowers though. Tftc

Out on a boys afternoons caching with Friwinz, Flipdags and sons. Last cache for the day nice little park quick find TFTC

Thanks for the history of this park This was the last cache for the day having wet feet from our latest cache search "seaside seashell search". TFTC

Managed to pull into a local driveway, as it was getting late at night there were no muggles in sight. TFTC.

Nice easy cache for our night mission

Thanks, an easy and smooth find!

Picked this one a couple of weeks back on a short walking trip with the little ones, they made short work of it before I even arrived. TFTC

Very busy but I was very stealth! TFTC =)

Quick and easy find.. Cache was totally soaked.. Emptied out water and tried to sign name and put the cache back.. Might need some maintenance..

Found on day 1 of a 3 day Auckland cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. Very interesting to read the cache page now... after finding the cache. I would never have realised we were sitting at such a historic spot. TFTC, Biggles.

Found with Biggles while caching in the area. Another neat pocket park, walked here from down the road to avoid parking issues. No trouble finding it in the dark. TFTC

An interesting spot. No trouble making the find. Thanks.

#1743 Easy find. Log sheet was absolutely soaked and could barely write on it. TFTC.

Another quick find, this time for one of the Junior Pastamakers. Despite all the traffic it was actually a pleasant little corner to sit and sign the log. We had a visit from a lovely grey cat as we popped the cache back.

TFTC

Nice easy find on a Saturday afternoon after visiting the local beach. Friendly cat came to say hello too

Our first cache find! After being unsuccessful at Waiting for Adam we meandered along to this little park near home. TFTC

Fun after a hard day at work! TFTC!

Easy find for our Fathers Day geocache hunt.

This became a quick find on our way into the city.
We were picking up a few trads that were on our side of the road after driving past them last night.
Thanks G-2

Must have driven them crazy trying to manage the project
A quick grab early Sunday morning as we were off to the city.
thanks, Robmc.

Found on a wet and dark evening (sans GPS) while the other half of the team played in Alice Springs. First to sign new log sheet. Thanx G-2

replaced logbook all good

This was my first find in New Zealand. The log was very wet. I torn off part of a business card and signed my name.
Thanks for the smiley!

Nice quick find after a DNF down the road. Unpleasant surprise to find the cache, bag and log book chock full of water. Dried it out and signed our name in the last spot. TFTC.

No space in log book and entire cache soaking wet. Note this has been mentioned in several previous logs! Needs attention please!!!

Sent from my mobile device.

Nice spot to sit and watch all the traffic pass by. No sign of the midden now.TFTC

The cache was full of water, as was the log.
I dried it out in the sun but still damp and only two logs away from being full.

Quick easy find, couldn't sign log as far too wet will need to be replaced.
Have signed the log with modern technology

Parked in nearby street, had to negotiate road cones to get here. #3 quick find today. Don't know what the road worker thought when I walked back passed them minutes after going the other way. TFTC

Well as luck would have it, we enjoyed a very nice dinner at relatives and quickly nipped across the road before dessert and under the cover of darkness, to find this one. Quick find. Interesting history for the location. SL. TFTC.

Another quick cache
