As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Been inactive for nearly a year now

Need to fix

Looked all over but no luck.

Did not find it, second time I went looking for it, I would say this baby is gone, looks like a hobo lived under the bridge, he might have found it and removed it.

Just about dropped it!

No luck today, maybe another time.

Quick find by wasa thanks.

The first of many found today. Thanks for a nice quick and easy find

Quick find.. Not sure if the container is supposed to be glued to the bridge?

Another cache for the day on "KiwifruitsNZ Day of Milestones".

Easy find and quickly moved on to the next one.

Interesting hide! Always nice to have your own bridge. TFTC

Always good that you can claim a bridge as your own and even better when you can cache in on it Keep up the good work TFTC

Mrs gm123 thinks this bridge is better than that west one... Only due to the close proximity of shops!
Cunning little hide!

its a drive by thank you quick find

In NZ for my mother in law's 90th birthday on the weekend. We had gone to Snow Planet with the wife's eldest son and family. We decided to introduce Mom to Geocaching on the way home.
Fortunately I had loaded a few caches into thee gismo, this was the second to call in on, heading home to Whangaparaoa Penisula.

Parked around the corner in next to the car yard. left the women in the car, bad mistake.
Slipped back over the bridge, GPS working fine, stopped at the southern end, checked on the location, a bit of a look around, that looks unusual, cache in hand. The container could do with a bit of lube on the thread (suggest Neverseize, It's Nickle based. not the copper one, it could react with the aluminium). Paper work done, back to the car.
The women had disapeared, gone window shopping, eventually found and we continued on to the next cache.

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

We headed up north to Mahurangi West this morning and called into Silverdale to pick up a few caches on our way. A nice easy find and a clever hide.

Thanks for the cache!

3.10pm. It nearly fell out!! Quick find after we parked in Silverdale and walked back.
Thank you. David.

Nice wee find while in the area visiting thanks.

A couple of Aussies traveling from Auckland to Paihia to spend a few days in the Bay of Islands area. We weren't left wondering too long about the stuff this bridge is made of before this clever little hide was found.

TNLN . . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt TheWonderStuff.

Thanks for setting this up.

Quick easy find. Loved the camo. Log was overfull, so added a 'temporary' log. TFTC.

Was waiting for a bus so done a quick walk out to the bridge.
Picked the container up and all the ants and eggs fell , swarmed out over me.
When I left the probably moved back in again.
I banged as many out as possible.
Every time I come back to NZ to visit there is a new shopping area being built .
Silverdale will soon be the size of Albany.

Needs new log.tftc

Quick find. Log is over full. TFTC.

Was out at snowplanet all Saturday morning, and, finally having a car, not having to worry about carrying all my gear in hand/waiting for a bus, could get some caches in Silverdale/Orewa on the way back!! Awesome!

So, this one was the first one along the way.
Approached the bridge from the shops, not sure which elevation I should be at, but lucky I picked the right one, or that could have been interesting! Haha!
Cache was then very soon in hand, despite the awesome, interesting camo! Getting good at this! Yay!

TFTC!!

Quick find while the girls raided the sales. The ants had made themselves at home so have them a good shake. Log is full. TFTC

I was not planning on stopping in Silverdale...but I thought I would do a couple of caches here just for fun. Thanks for this one.

You nearly ahd me with the "Bison Container" but got there eventually, TFTC

# 2402 @ 19:05 and the 40th find on our North Island visit

Nice easy find. Thanks TheWonderStuff.

And another one bites the dust. t4tc

A quick and easy find - thanks

Found this on a night time visit as less busy with passing cars.

Clever concealment. Thanks

Almost dropped some of the camo in the river! T4TC

Well this is one interesting disguise... I'm not sure it's holding up too well however. This one may need maintenance.
TFTC.

Quick stroll across the bridge and a nice quick find when we got there. Didn't have to worry about anyone trying to interrupt what we were doing and we were free to carry on our way. TFTC

Nice walk on the bridge to claim this treasure. It was pretty quiet so making the find was not too hard for us

TFTC TheWonderStuff

Too easy!

Found while heading north for a holiday

Nice camo Job, had me fooled for a while.

Clever hide but lots of traffic going by. TFTC

{ At noon, found, interesting structure under bridge and not surprised with ALL the garbage. Fairly easy find. What a busy place with all the traffic !!.. Five minute Araldite job needed, owner advised. Take Care !! TFTC ]

Nice easy cache, quick find. Thanks heaps!

Nice easy cache, saw from a few meters away, was so surprised i had never come across this before as i am a local thanks!

walked all the way out...found it instantly....but forgot a pen silly oomoo....had to run all the way back and grab it to log cache no.25 of our day.

#494: Walking along the bridge and this one seriously jumped out at us--even from 10 metres away, yet it is still there for ages. Amazing!

10.25am - My neice had me under the bridge looking for this one, but not to be, fairly easy find once she listened to me. TFTC

Nice industrial urban cache. Great Camo. T4TC

Wow, a very busy and Muggle filled area, had to be super careful... TFTC

Cool cache thanks.

Spotted before we were ontop of GZ and before Riser5 saw it =D

Started walking under and headed to the water, then we figured we should head up top. Minimaxy made the find as I decided it may not have been it and started looking behind.

Easy Find, Even at 10pm at night. Starting to rain when we arrived at GZ, So were hoping for a Quick Find, Walked past it, then came back to it shortly after.

We weren't sure what a bison canister looked like, but didn't turn out to be too hard a find. TFTC.

found with APPO on a wet & windy summers day in akl ... t4tc

great cache

found with peeweenz

Quick find, good camo. Thanks Wonderstuff..

#684 A monster day caching in TWS land. 17/19. Took advantage of late evening to stop and locate this one. Glad you have your very own bridge!! Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Saw this one as I approached the bridge. Nice hide. I suspect this may have caused some grief to some cachers.

Hanjac from Aussie

Wow! Your own bridge! I think I would have claimed a prettier one with a calmer atmosphere. The 9th cache out of 21 we looked for today.

nice bridge , may have to find one for myself. quiet on the muggle front so no problems . TFTC

An easy find on the way for swimsuit shopping. Probably well disguised for muggles but obvious to a cachers eye. TFTC

You must be so proud to have your own bridge! Good cammo. TFTC

Out on a mission with Cadinut on a day of caching, starting from Milford and ending up at Leigh doing Stingray cache which is only accessible on a spring low tide. Tftc

Neat hide. Quick find having seen a similar cammo. No 2 on our Northland caching trip.TFTC

nice and easy - thankfully as it was starting to chuck it down!
TFTC

Nice bridge, looking forward to the associated power trail inthe future.
TFTC

Found easily as the blue portion of the cache was lying on the ground. Signed log (borrowed pen from Jeans Shop) and then tried to work out where it had come from. Found that quite quickly too. Nice bridge - great claim!

Great hide.

Dad missed this one to start with. TFTC

Good cammo, TFTC!

Oh dear.; Missed it initially.
Searched everywhere else and then came back to find it.

Thanks for letting us visit your bridge. Greetings from Silverdale, Washington, U.S.!

Another great cache in a great town!

Great container - quick and easy find, parking was a bit of a problem. SL TFTC

Together with King_Oskar, we went for cache search. Thanks a lot for the hide.

Three were looking for the hide whilst the fourth one was waiting a kind of borrowed and asked: is this what you are looking for?
Thanks!

Nice different container. Soon located. SL TFTC

Had an 'orange vest' a bit worried for a moment (will have to tell you at event on friday, would be a spooler to explain here)
Didn't take to long to find. Mum enjoyed checking out the history of the other bridge which we would never have stopped to look at if we hadn't stopped for this cache and had a wonder. TFTC

A nice quick find, the camo made it look like part of the bridge. TFTC.

Nice easy cache. Thanks Wonderstuff.

1.15pm. Managed to park very close by.

Out with Capgun098 enjoying the sun and the hunt. A nice quick find TFTC

out with hastingus lots of fun. TFTC

Another late posting, from an afternoon out with KnK, SB and IJ. Liked the camo - particularly as we walked right past it - luckily SB was more on the ball....TFTC.

Trying out the new gps today with Indiana Jill, BookwormMum and Kayaknkiwi. Clever camo, but needs maintenance. TFTC!

Out with the team today. Seattle's Best came up with the goods on this one. Brilliant cache, but yes is in need of maintenance. Thanks for the adventure. TFTC!

Out on a run today. Great hide. TFTC.

Your own bridge! I like the idea and will look for one myself.

I walked right past the cache, nose tucked in to my GPS. Great placement. Needs attention, but the others have told you that. We tried to safeguard it, but you'll wanna get out there to tidy up. TFTC. LN but signatures.
