Puhoi River cache # 200!! ( Auckland) Waiwera, North Island, New Zealand
By G-2 on 08-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1NEAD

redoing, def gone

Yeap this one must have slipped into the water.

Searched GZ but no Luck here today, looked at Spoiler Photos for clues, but area looks very different, erosion has left the stump in the water & below high tide marks.

stump subsided onto beach. No sign of cache in vicinity

Searched obvious places and a couple of very small ziplock bags on the ground raised our suspicions that it might be gone.

Possibly muggled.

Spent a while searching while Pop fished but no goods found today

My 100th find Was being observed by occupants of the house across the water. Think they even photographed us?!? Might end up on Police 10/7 for behaving suspiciously in a public place!! Left a coin I have had in my possession for an inexcusable amount of time. Hope it continues it's journey to more beautiful spots. TFTC

What an excellent container, what a lot effort went into making it, thanks for that Glyn. I made sure it was discreetly re-hidden so no young kids see it and covert it for themselves! The tide was fully in when I came here, sun was out, so it was a lovely day! I did a 5hr bush walk near Puhoi (6 caches inc a FTF), so this and some other easy to get to caches were perfect to end the day.

Fishing muggles very close to cache. Loved the camo. Left guarding smurf behind.

first for the day, been here many times before the geo wars took hold of the mind, never thought it had enough pull to get me back.. but here we are with a new reason and wondering what devilishness may be in store from Mr G... not trouble all though love the camo.. must have been washed up there?

what an excellent container...lovely peaceful place too, tftc

Lovely spot, got there early so nice and quiet. Second one of the day. Cool Camo on the lid. TFTC

Got here at high tide what a beautiful place

18/1/14 harebell Great cache lovely scenery.tftc.

Cool cache! Enjoyed finding it.

This had been our first trip to New Zealand. We spent three weeks here in this amazing country, which is unfortunately quite a short time. We saw a lot of gorgeous places, met very friendly people, could see the different landscapes like deserts, rain forests, glaciers and oceans. And of course animals like Kiwis (never thought that they are so big), dolphins, seals, glow worms, penguins (I love the blue ones). It was hard to say good bye and go back to the winter in Europe.
We hope to come back one time...Greetings from Germany / Switzerland.

After visiting Auckland we headed out towards North...We did a first stop at this really beautiful park! This place is absolutely recommended, the nature is amazing. In particular the trees there - would be a nice place to hide a cache high in the air

This was a nice found!

Thank you for maintaining the cache.

Between squalls of rain we managed to find this one in the brilliant sunshine.
Nice camo. Tnlnsl tftc

12.05pm. Provided a message on a leaf as many before us had done. Thought the cache container was well done. Oscatello was pleased with the dinosaur in residence!! Left a signature pathtag.

We just had to do this one while we were in the area, even though it was wet and cold and Mr S was very wet and very cold.

Spied a couple of muggles in a black 4WD doing something a little bit naughty we suspected.

Getting tired by now so it was quite a hike to GZ and fortunately Mrs S spied the cache fairly quickly. Quick retrieve and sign and we lifted the TB's to further their travels, off to Rotorua.

Another smilie face and another thank you glyn(the only one).

Nice spot for a Geocache.

Easy walk and quick find

Great Camo too.

Thanks for the hunt.

Another find for the day. The decoy had us guessing for a time but the 'dress' gave it away!! Nice to see our rates spent on great ammenities such as this scenic park and beach!! TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Found it- nicely dressed - after dorm ding a fine afternoon in the Regional Park- pity only that it ( the park )was so scorched by the draught.

Another Ramble across the Auckland Regional Parks, A nice walk in past many a muggle setting up for the day with bar-b-ques, chairs and shade coverings. All very quiet at this end of the park.
Managed a quick find in what today was a nice quiet spot, nice themed Cache Box, very Kiwiana, haha.

TFTC

nice hide. tftc

Quick find with friends, on a walk around the point. A nice job of camo. Thanks for the hide

A beautifully camoed cache. Exactly the sort of thing you would see at the seaside! A quick find once a bunch of orienteerers left the scene. Thanks again, Glyn.

Hadn't read the clue so took a wee while to find, but soon found. Like a camo, tftc

Found by Lizzie10 and Roger of the Collie Crew over from the UK visiting ChrisnDust.What a beautiful place with fantastic views,loved the stroll to the point,thanks for placing in such a gorgeous spot.TFTC.

Our first ever find! Thanks for bringing us back to this beautiful place. Well and truly hooked on this wonderful hobby. Log book is full. TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We spent the morning out at Mahurangi West and stopped in at Wenderholm on the way back to look for some caches there. A quick find, nice decorating on the container too.

Thanks for the cache!

I liked the cachbox,really nice.

Nice cache, TFTC!

Found, No water around today.

I loved the camo on this one! Very creative! TFTC xx

Staying close by and having had a sensational dinner cooked on an open fire close by the night before we had to wander back to find this and check that we had left the place as we found it.

A big night had been had but no one would have known.

What a sensational spot. Loved it.

SL TFTC

Stayed at the very nearby bach for the night with my mate hanjac. Even managed to bring some wood I had been collecting and drying so enjoyed cooking our dinner on a fire only a few metres from this cache on the sand. Came back the following morning to grab this cache and check for rubbish. Had been a big day yet some how we had managed to leave no trace apart from a few coals. This one gets a belated fav point from me. TFBMB Thanks for bringing me back!

Nice and simple. No worries. Thanks

Super spot - easy find thanks. Picked up the Purple Impala - my favourite American car in the 60's

Quick find. Tftc

Last one on a wet weekend

TNLN - log book VERY full... Logs being written on cover it's that full

Found it, nice spot with the tide all the way in.

Caching in Wenderholme on a glorious Labour Day with the Storytellas.

A good walk up through the shady pohutakawas to a great cache with great cammo in a great spot. We spotted our picnic spot for the way back and enjoyed the estuary view with our sandwiches

TFTC

Out and about with our favorite Geocaching families, the pastamakers. When they made these guys, they built in the never say die attitude. We all set the units and away the kids go. Usually, I turn up and I hear, I found it. This a lovely caching area and well worth the adventure. Loved the cach box, best one we have seen so far. Took out a travel bug MCHCDJ 8769993 and place the Geocoin TB3BEW3 Knight of Herkenrode PCNN3J.

No one around this end of the beach today - too damp I guess. The beautifully dressed cache quickly found. T B. Happy Easter 2009 out Caching Under the Cross in. TFTC

Took the Minifish for a trip to Wenderholm and she found the cache all by herself (well almost)! Nice camo.

Many thanks for giving us anouther excuse to walk round Wenderholm again.

Nicely hidden in a lovely part of the park. Some muggles nearby, so was useful to have local cacher family to look like we were just looking around. SL TFTC

Its amazing what muggles don't notice... a counrting couple would NOT leave so I did my watching the sea, playing with the sand, listening to the birds and retrieving a cache act. T4TC TB In and Out

Found with Rebel98 & kevsteam. Muggles near by but on opposite side, could retreive out of sight while others pretended to take photos of birds. However I have a feeling the muggles knew what we were upto anyway. Was up here again on the 10th so checked and cache all ok. TFTC

This one was the last one left to do in Wenderholm and as it was a 550m walk -OGP- myself and the two 5 year old lads decided to walk for this one. Got to GZ and noted a muggle family had set up camp. -OGP- distracted them by explaining geocaching and I swooped in and retrieved the cache. TFTC

Great trip out to the end with the boys & Dads. Muggles were on site so stealth required.

The best picnic spots are out this end.
