Bibliophile Treasure Trove (Wellington) Khandallah, North Island, New Zealand
By Yeetrees - adopted by boxhill on 12-Apr-09. Waypoint GC1PW74

After due consideration I’ve decided that it’s time that this cache took early retirement. Thanks to everyone who took the time to look for it and find it.

Yip, It would appear to be AWOL. Disabled while I organise another container.

Attempted on my Saturday morning run on a stunning Wellington day. My first thought was that this was going to be a straight forward find. However, after thoroughly searching what I thought was the obvious location, I had no luck. I widened the search, but there didn't seem to be anywhere else to look. Not sure if the cache has gone missing or if my brain just wasn't working right. Will have to wait and see. TFTC.

We have checked this site out on several occasions in the past fortnight. Its a muggle infested zone so didn't feel we had done it full justice in the search. But nothing was found by us on the obvious hint zones so be good if the CO can confirm its presence or absence.

Pleased to knock off the first nano

First Nano we've found!

I suppose if you haven't found many of theses, you could be forgiven in thinking the log is missing. Try looking in the lid. All present and correct when I checked this morning.

Found it tonight but no log inside. Will go back & sign in when log available. Enjoyed the search. Thanks

Changed the logsheet while passing today. Noticed that the magnet has become loose, please take care you don't lose it.

Found after attending the nearby event. TFTC!

cool log full

Logs full, attached image of cache instead. Tftc!

I have books due back on Monday. Will replace the logsheet then.

Looked for after attending the International Geocaching Day event round the corner. Took quite a bit of hunting and then there was really no room on the log. Managed to scrawl a sort of O4S on the bottom - "Orsome4some" a bit long to write on these types of logs anyway. But not very legible. TFTC

Went to the geocache met so did this one as it was so close TFTC

#1008 Happy International Geocaching Day!! Found this one after the event, hidden opposite where we were parked. TFTC! Log full- see attached photo for proof of find

Log was full but found an empty spot right at the top. TFTC

Found it after 7 challenges of august geocachers gathering with kingsports. Log sheet full.

I looked for this about a year ago. Today it was right whee it should have been. Magnet needs re-gluing. TFTC

This was an awesome hide. Very well done. Tftc

Good cache!!!!

Wow impressed. TFTC

Sausage sizzle across the road today. Yummy.

Mmmm. Wouldnt stick back on...only noticed tje magnet had fallen out after about 5 mins. Doh! Replaced and log signed. Tftc

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Quick detour from kiddie party. Tftc

Quick find while in Khandallah today

Relatively easy find. Only the hairdresser seemed busy. Before signing the log something fell out so I searched the car seat and surrounds only to find it attached to the metal buckle. May need re attaching. TFTC

Quick find. Signed as JTS as no room for more. TFTC.

No Problems here and soon located between cars pulling in and moving on

TFTC

Quick find. Signed log. Thanks for another cache, boxhill!

Thanks loved the container

Nice hide, we were right by it without realising for ages!

Searched for ages expecting something a bit more tricky it was staring right at us

love these micro ones... cheers

Called by on my tour of Khandallah this morning. Had to wait for a taxi driver to bugger off and then it was a quick find and sign.
TFTC

A muggle was on the phone at one end of the seats as we arrived so we occupied the other end. I was just wondering where the cache might be when the wife executed the perfect stealth move as demonstrated in the new Geocaching Etiquette video and came up with the goods.

Retired to the library to extract the cache (tweezers required) which was just as well since in doing so I dropped the Divine Intervention* log on the floor. Had I still been outside the gale would have blown it to Ngaio. The log is nearly full and the remaining spaces seem to have become oiled and difficult to write on.

* Another story

TFTC. New container and location for me, stealth definitely needed. Also sorted my holiday reading!

At last no muggles in vacinity. TFTC

A quick find after dinner nearby. Showed some muggle friends what this geocaching thing I'm obsessed with is all about. Thanks!

tftc, smallest cache so far...

Tftc

Got it while waiting for fish'n'chips. Had failed at this one before as I had no idea what a nano container was. Seriously, google it if you're stuck...

Quick find with the hints tftc

Tricky little bugger Tftc

Nice find while dodging a busker. TFTC.

Found with Sallies.

Quick find following the clue plus logs. TFTC

good find TFTC

Quick find, but had to be with dark falling and biting wind picking up. Brrrr.

#212 there is a loose bit in this cache that might need some glue sometime. Walked past this place lots of times caches are everywhere.

Found with the family.
TFTC!
with CaligulaNZ & FiddlefingersNZ

TFTC!

Quickly found by the geo-kids on the way to the nearby International Geocaching day event. More effort required to actually get the log out of the container than find the cache. Got there in the end.

TFTC!
with Comandercon2 & FiddlefingersNZ
(and Tan1aNZ who had found the cache previously)

Got this one after the event & priviliged to have the company of ADV, tmann421 & friends to help find. The rain had the final say as the sky opened up just as we retrieved and lost the magnet trying to get the log out. Prompted a few laughs. All sorted & signed the log & cache back in place. TFTC boxhill

Found it OK. The wind blew away the log book and a pedestrian stopped it for me. Signed log. Cache would not go back where it had been. Discovered why and had another search and was then able to fix to it's original state. Phew, thought I would have to bring it to the Geocaching Day on Saturday. TFTC

Found with docmum, sammo75359 and jimdawg159 TFTC
(logging old finds finally! )

TFTC

TFTC

Needed a quick drive by for Get Outside Day after having a bit of a failure earlier in the day!
TFTC - glad to have this ticked off now
found with sammo75359, jimdawg159 and Creathnach

Tftc

Glad to get this one out of the way. On previous visits the muggle numbers were too great to retrieve. TFTC

Out for a walk on a sunny day and found it easily. TFTC.

pleased to have been with JustLookin when she got her 200th cache we had tried this one a few months ago and couldn't find it, possibly missing at that point, glad to have it bagged

TFTC

My 200th cache, yay. Did after early morning meeting with TAN1ANZ. One of the smallest logs I've seen. TFTC

Day Six of the 100 Day Challenge. We didn't get the cache through the day so this one needed to be gramed after dark to make sure we got one. Nice easy find- the hardest part was getting the log out to sign. Thanks.

Maintained

I do like a clean log sheet!

Quick find at GZ this morning before the library opened.

Thanks for replacing cache.

New container in place. Read the listing for more information.

Checked on this last night, certainly seems to be missing, and the hint object has been removed as well. taking the listing off line while I sort out a new hide.

Bibliophile Treasures Trove (Wellington) was transferred from Yeetrees to user boxhill

Going to have to call a DNF on this one. Had a good look, but no joy.

Didnt find it.

Based on description that it should have been easy, and other DNF's this may have been muggled.

No success. Only one p********y sign found. Not sure what magnetic keylock looks like. But we are beginners.

Searched at GZ and vicinity with no luck!

No luck today

Have been back twice to look for this one but still DNF

Changed logbook and have replaced with new container

Main log absolutely soaked. Needs a replacement.

Replacement log needed. Sorry no supplies on me today, as we weren't intentionally out caching. Yeah right!

Was unprepared to collect this cache today. But back in Khandallah for ballet recital at town hall. Found while waiting for rest of group to return fom supermarket. Signed initials in pencil. Log is saturated.

Log wet, TFTC anyway

Found while at an event in the area, SL (just) TFTC.

We found the log book totally soaked, unable to sizn. TFTC

Found today with Wandering Dragons. Main log was soaked - yuck!

Cache #166

Cache #683 - A quick find on the second pass - first time someone was actually reclining on the sidewalk nearby! Log book completely soaked - dripping even. A previous cacher had put in another sheet of paper, which we signed. Did with Violet Butterfly. TFTC!

Used to visit this library frequently when working nearby over a decade ago. I prised open the damp logbook and wrote my name. Hopefully the ink won't run too much and will still be legible.

Quick grab with J+J.au while travelling NZ from Australia. Place small piece of paper inside signed as log needs replacing. Thanks

Logged the piece of paper after others as Log too wet. Hint had me going as "positively" has been removed but all good. TFTC #142

Found it after the second look.had to be careful heaps of muggles.

Nice and easy for mum and 3 kids. Plenty of muggles about.

Parked close by. Quick find.

Neat little cache - Thanks!

We seem to be following BulBar today but never seen them! Tftc

Another swift find with. MSPPhoenix. TFTC

We were here for a birthday party (saturday night ) at the hall so looked for this one as we went past in the dark Many thanks
