Very Quiet Cache (Bay of Plenty) Waimapu, North Island, New Zealand
By Zork V on 26-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1V6RJ

Canning this one , locals don't like caching.

Need to check this one.

4.20pm - Very quiet indeed in a nice little private playground which has a padlock on the gate

Was good to find one with Grandchildren as last two we could'nt find..
Nice park I did'nt know was there.

Nice little park. Easy find. Left Mandibula TB

Strange little park to access. We came from the lower level. Must need a 4WD pram to get the baby up here (bit wet underfoot today)
Ahh... Flax - seen a bit of this plant since we arrived.
Thanks, Robmc.

Back in Australia we never get the chance to search for caches hidden in flax. At this stage we had not
tired of this plant.
Tricky little playground to access.
Thanks

Nice quick find. Park was empty but there was a face in the window of a neighbouring two storey house. The lead of the pencil has been snapped off so we couldn't sign the log ... maybe the next person looking to snag this one could bring a pencil sharpener?

TFTC TNLN.

No. 3 for the afternoon. Came here with Sefrican after a wee debate about which was the "right" way to go. We certainly came in from the "quiet" end!

Lovely little park, and I'm sure many grandchildren get to use it.

and try and find iti did so thank you

Cache is back in business.

Park very quite to day with no one around, no problems finding, cache damp but log book OK. TFTC
In TB Teddy Prayers happy

Dam weather bomb, need to replace with more waterproof model.

First cache of the day and it was very quiet. Cheers

Quite tricky without a gps but perserverence paid off Cache 3/4 full of water need maintenance

Cache 3/4 full of water but logbook dry. Tried to be discreet as muggles about. In toy garden fork out hotwheels car

Went on a night caching mission & FTF the new cache. NIce easy find in the nice park. Hopefully this one lasts this time round. Good to finally cross this one off the list. Thanks for re-doing the cache.

All go again

Hi. Is this one going to be sorted?

Need to check.

Did a thorough search.Couldn't find it.Think it's been muggled.

Chris, you are here too!! Quick walk into the park, straight forward find and on to the next one. T4TC

The GPS was quite a bit out, but an obvious find as the cache is very exposed. I tried to cover it but lack of appropriate camo. Think a location change is in order. Took the froggy TB. Thanks

Phew - the playground was deserted today so could hunt in peace. Not much of a hunt given that the cache is fairly exposed. Might be worth a change of location to extend the longevity of the cache?
Many thanks

Jumped out the car expecting a quick find but alas I had to call in the reinforcements. When ROS arrived he spotted it straight away as he arrived at GZ. Should have taken notice of where the GPS was leading me instead of looking in all the buggy places first. Tried to cover as best we could T4TC.

nice find had to recover well

Checking the cache, looks like some major prunning has been done. Please cover with anything you can find.

In 2 TBs and Yellow Jeep.

Took Doggy TB

Was no dogs allowed, but managed to leave a dog TB in the cache. Found easily as area is very open. SL TFTC

Luckily a very quiet cache... found rather exposed, rehid as best we could.
TNLNSL, TFTC

Not so quite today. Could hear lots of cars driving past. Maybe a little exposed? TFTC

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 604. Thanks.

Spent alot of time looking in the flx bushes. Just about to give up when I spied it TFTC and yes it is very quiet

Approached from a wee entrance above the gully. What a well hidden gem of a park. And a great cache - visible but well camo'd. Well done.
Picked up TB smurf / travel express. Thanks

Great Park...clever hide
TFTC

6.30pm. Quite a clever camo job. Quick find. Left the Smurf T.B.
Thankyou. David

Dropping a couple of TBs and took Finland Geocoin.

Cool little park. Seems the "no dogs" rule doesn't apply for the locals. Had fun watching family fun with various dogs and a cat while we ate supper and waited for the moment. TFTC. tnlnsl. out Jeep TB.

Great little park, thanks. Nice cache too... tnlnsl.

No. 1 of 8 finds this morning caching in Tauranga. Easy find, NINO, TFTC

Nice little park hidden away, thankfully it was empty or we might have looked a bit odd turning up to play here, at our age! Quick find. TFTC.

3rd find of the day. Nice little park, always nice to find somewhere you never knew existed. TFTC

Easy find - great clue! A very wet day so no muggles around.

TFTC, never even knew this park existed!

Easy find in a nice little park. TFTC

The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
Out on a day of 'raiding' caches in Tauranga with Twigster.
One of the many spots that we stopped at.
TNLN, TFTC.

On a cache mission for the day with The Freezer Mice and managed to knock this one off. TFTC

A nice playground hidden in the exclusive looking suburb - yes I'm sure we were being watched! TFTC Added a touch of Hollywood to the neighbourhood + California GC - Glow sticks

This was a cute spot - and a surprise! TFTC

Really nice spot and yes- very quiet. Easy find. TFTC

A brilliant day and what a surprising walk with the kids! Turned the corner and they were delighted to see a playground. Made the find first and then enjoyed the park to ourselves. Wouldn't have ever known it was here. TFTC Took TB and kids did other swaps leaving pairs of light sticks.

In town visiting the new grandchild at the hospital.
Had to get the better half home to work.
Just got out of the vehicle and the skyies opened. So a damp ride home to hamilton for me too.
The co-ords had me looking between 2 green items. I was in a bit of a hurry too and nearly gave up. Last look behind a tree and there it was-a bit luck really.
Dont think the clue was very helpful on this one

Went to go and find this cache only to be found by some K9 friends that had some well trained humans dressed in blue sporting some shiney braclets.
We were asked to leave due to some of the locals thinking that we were upto no good in their park
WARNING DON'T DO THIS CACHE AT NIGHT
Took nothing left skid marks

Cheers the mortis and the wookie
