Once Tall and Proud (Auckland) Sunnynook, North Island, New Zealand

Cache missing - archive requested.

Another dnf for us the stump is so rotten even the Huhu grubs have abandoned it. Spent 10 mins digging in the stump i think the cache must be gone.

Dnf for me. Dug through all rot but didn't find anything cache-like.

felt very exposed there at GZ and so was the cache, tucked away a bit when we left. oh and tree is well and truly falling apart. TFTC.

Out for a run and stopped to check the view. Tried to cover better cos in open. TFTC

Quick and easy before heading home after a day of caching. Log book needs maintenance, checking on or replacing as it is in pieces. TFTC.

Nice easy drive by on the way back from kindy drop off. Log is full. Left a bouncy ball. TFTC

Nice & easy, very close to home

A quick and easy find. Thanks!

Quick find on a sunny winters day TFTC

Nice easy find - thanks

Nice quick lunch time cache.

Nice quick Park and Grab, TFTC

The gorse did try it's best to get me but managed to approach it from a different angle instead. TFTC

Parked by your cache while driving the Team Y-Cacho's Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission

Many thanks for your cache, plan to be back soon with Butterfly_Lady

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.
A bit prickly
Many thanks

TFTC! As above- got a few pricks from the surrounding prickles. But found it.

Finally found!!! Outside a very helpful lady who MAY play the game of hot and cold with you!!! Hahaha highly populated muggle area!!!! Stealth required

Got prickled by gorse but found it!

Easy find, but very high muggle area. Timing is crucial for this one.

Found in the dark!!! Wasn't easy, GPS a bit out. TFTC

easy find even in the dark (yeah right ) with a street light above your head '
At least the neighbours were indoors , with not much traffic ,still felt rather exposed.
Last one for the night. TFTC

Quick and easy. Muggled by house owners so explained what we were doing & said if others spotted there that was what they will be doing too. Logged find only. Cache in good condition, log sheet bit worse for wear.

Out on a quick hunt with the kids before hitting the beach for a swim.
My youngest found this one.

Looked easy enough so sent Fuzzy on her own. She got it without Big Fuzzy even needing to get out of the car. TFTC

Found with Ledge End - took awhile to find! GPS wasn't reading correctly!
TFTC

found with mondoolix, our 6th for today. gps seemed a bit off today, we had to return to the car and read the title before we found this one. a great first cache, tftc

Saw the cache rain started and muggles everywhere left log unsigned may come back later to complete process

Pastamaker Snr looked nonchalantly at the view whilst Pastamaker Jnr quickly grabbed the cache! Signed the log and we were off before any muggles took notice. Thanks for bringing us here, the view is worth a look.

Found it under 10 min. As already said I think spot slightly off but read the name!!!!! Lol..... T4tc

Co-ords a bit off only found once I re-read the name of the cache

TFTC

Took a while Co-ords i think are off had us looking around the power pole, found by Aliane of Tortall...TFTC.

Couldn't resist stopping by this one on our tour of the area today. Thanks!

We found it!! Many thanks for the happy face.

Nice and quick driveby. Very quiet today luckily.
TFTC

Found while in the city.

Used the camera trick (cheers Just Floundering) - got enough time to locate and retrieve. TFTC

11.40am. What a lovely view of the city skyline! A camera always provides good disguise for cache searching operations!! Took a couple of turns around the feature before the quarry was located.
Left a Montreal pin

1817 Mrs Geckoh found out that tree sap, hot days and shorts are not a good combination and as a result had to wear a pair of Mr Geckoh's shorts for the rest of the caching day. Mr Geckoh made the find whilst Mrs Geckoh sulked! TFTC

Nice easy one. Soon had cache in hand. SL TFTC

Easy Cache, Nearly gave it a miss due to muggles and cars.. Very out in the open. But I waited it out. TFTC, In Sun Keyring

Found while in the City

Had come passed last friday but someone was painting the fence only metres away. Passing again today on way home from lunch so stopped to have look. Quick find, TFTC. The fence looks good!!

Very nice and stratight forward . t4tc

Quick and easy find. Thanks.

Got it quickly, just as well as I felt a little conspicuous hanging about here.
TFTC

Nice view from GZ, easy find, TFTC

Out and about today and couldnt remember if i needed a cache to cross the date off. Turns out I didnt but this was a quick find depite coming away with very sticky hands from the glue like substance near GZ. TFTC

Was out for a newly placed cached and grabbed this one on the way home. After 10:00 PM, not many muggles out at all. Especially good one for night caching! I liked the camo and think it'll weather the weather well. I hate gorse! TFTC.

On our way home from a night cache find just down the road. This camo is great and the cache is safely tucked away from muggles. TFTC!

A quick find. TFTC

Quick find while in the area.
Just started to rain, so no muggles around.

Found while on a numbers run in Albany with the whole family. TFTC

Pretty sure the neighbours are on to us.

Original camo. I like it.

Out on what was supposed to be a 'Ferral' weather day in a vain attempt to keep the Auckland caches under control. Weather was fine for most of the day.

Quick find but hard to be descrete.

Thanks for your caches.

Cheers TT

Not so easy find, but did get there .... the guys across the road drinking on the deck made it harder. Saw the TB, Have been to Kimbe a few times, but have no plans to retern soon.

5.55pm. Nice quick drive by.
No problem with the co-ords
Left '"Kimbe, Papua New Guinea" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug' TB.

I got the honours to go grab the cache as 3 blokes strolling around in hi-viz vests is just a little too obvious here. No issues, quick log and replace and then we started hoeing into the lollies and buns before hitting the road again.

on to GC1TE5Z

Out with Glyn and BackPAQer today to see how many caches three guys can find powered only by Wild Bean Cafe coffee and ham rolls. The weather was wet but the spirits were high.

Yep it must have been. Stopped here for some more ham rolls.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Thanks for the cache, can't comment much, on a *Mission* today!

Nice easy stroll on my way home this afternoon had the cache in hand! TFTC!

Apologies for late posting. Had an afternoon caching with Kayaknkiwi, getting late by the time we got to this one and for some reason we got the giggles - nearly fell down the bank! Knk found it after I had my hand nearly on it - she's the clever one around here! TFTC!

Nice hide... TFTC

Arrived at this one at night, torches ready off we went. Nice hide, thanks for the adventure! TFTC!

Found without too much trouble, not many people about so this helped. TFTC

QWIK FIND-FANTASTIC VIEWS-TFTC

Quick find just before the rain hit.

TFTC

Unfortunately we missed the publication of this cache so missed the evening get together with Kiwicouple & FMZ. An orderly visit the next day saw the cache quickly in hand. . We had to take care to dodge the keen eye of the occupants of the nearby house. TFTC

Sure was tall and proud.
I remember this tree when it was standing, never really worked out why it was cut down [?] it was in great condition.

Kiwicouple's First to Find Geocoin visiting.

Published

Turned up literally moments before kiwicouple so had only just walked over to GZ and was standing at 0m looking around at the various structures when they appeared on the scene. They were more onto it than I (and had obviously read the cache name before leaving home) as they quickly spotted the likely area, and then the cache was soon in hand for a joint FTF. TFTC!!!

10.38pm, and a new cache pops up by a mysterious new cacher. . .Arrived to find funkymunkyzone just beginning to search. We joined in and the cache was soon found. Thanks for the cache and another joint FTF We always enjoy the social get-togethers of late-night FTF racing! Nice to catch up with you again FMZ.
