We searched and searched this one feeling pretty certain it would be a tricky cache. Knowing G_2s work though, we thought it couldn't be as hard as we were finding it. I mean it could only be in so many places right? Just as I was radioing in for help my boy found the bottom of the bison out in the open grass and we realised that it must have been damaged or vandalized. Although certainly not the first to find, I think we'll be the last to find
Quick easy find, love the camo. Couldnt get log out, need to add tweezers to my kit. TFTC
Had a good search around based on the hint. We found lots of random rubbish but didn't spot the well camouflaged hide 
Great camouflage!! Really took us longer than it should have . Found with Kiwimarble.
Started caching again after a rather long break. Great cache, very well hidden. Tftc
Cool build, took a while tapping out the log without tweezers but out it came just as the rain restarted again
Great find, was a nice quick, park and find. Was a fairly busy weekend here however managed to be discreet in retrieval. Worth a FP. Nice and tidy, all good here. TFTC
Fantastic hide! Came on a public holiday, which made it easier to look for without suspicion from muggles.
Should the CO have carried out extra maintenance for us? *Filser1* and I definitely had our fun.

In our last day in Auckland TEMBO! and I had also the last chance to visit some caches. The ""---!,Rover,---!" was found and logged. Another nice work from G-2.
Thanks to G-2 for hiding and maintaining the cache.

Up to Albany to pick up a friend and getting there a little early I had time to take a caching look around.
This ended up being a fortunately quick find this afternoon. No one around the GZ and an approach from the correct angle allowed me to spot the cache straight away.
Could do with some TLC to allow a longer life but a great hide.
Thanks G_2

After a quick discussion via chat with with hider I found that a TYFTC does not suffice being ‘enough’ of a post and am here to add
‘So cool, awesome hide TYFTC, from Miss M 9’
Was one of our first ever finds and are having so much fun.

After checking a couple of times before the bench was finally unoccupied and we soon had the cache in our hands. Loved the camo.
Day 4 of a geocaching holiday in Tāmaki Makaurau with Nosynel. Another classic G-2 hide but no favourite coming as a) none left to give b) there was a frigging cockroach
Thanks for hiding this cache G-2 I appreciate it. OMG another super hide. I hope your lab cache bonus is an average hide so I can collect more favourite points. I moved the resident cockroach.
After my 3000th find today. This was pretty good. Not too many around this early. So easy to retrieve and put back. Tftc
Definite Fav. point for this one given the high muggle location...
Mrs stik-a-crane and junior had entered in a 10km walk around the Albany Lakes, and I was needed as support crew at the start of the event....setting up the walking chair and transferring from the wheelchair to the walking chair, making meds, and setting junior up for the 10km journey.....
Once they started, I was free to head out on the bike for a quick cache around.....
Headed to do this series, but had to change tack part way round as track building was happening, so not passable....

Had to sit down and have a rest after the last cache. Nice relaxing spot, thanks G2.
So cool! Look for something out of place. Don't need tweezers... just bang it on the ground
Was shopping and had some spare time after dinner. After walking off our butter chicken. Miss 6 found this one! She thought she pulled and broke something! Haha. Very clever hide.
Many many years ago I have this a quick look while in the area but was far too novice a cacher to find it. With more experience on my side this time (AKA I’m old now) I gave it another go. Was late at night so no muggles around. I felt all around and up and down but nothing was out of place. On the second go though, something made me wonder and after exerting more force than I had first search, I made the find. It fits in so well! Again, no pen, but I went through the ceremony of extracting the cache and removing the log (for some reason!). A clear fav point again. Thanks for the golden oldies cache!
#1,000
13 or 14 years later thought id never get to 1,000 this BUT thought it would have happened year 1 to achieve this in the first year BUT , to the lyrics of this song...
"Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face"
My feelings can't describe it
"Finally", it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it!
3 previous DNF's on this but not sure the earlier DNF today if that counts.
Wanted a G2 cache for this milestone and had to have at least 50 FPs, Ill add another to make this #60.
Been here before and missed again earlier today so had a thirst quencher while the Mrs was..of course shopping... Re-read all the previous logs and something just clicked, now I spy the target area and theres someone there damn, better have another quick one before Mrs finishes, thats done, aforementioned muggle still there, txt a friend say im about to hit 1,000 says I better have a beer to celebrate, said im having one, one more later and muggle moves on. Mrs just finished shopping so we did the pincer movement- NSA would be proud, got it FINALLY and now we have 1,000 Cheers G2 I wouldnt have kept up caching without yr help/advise and brilliant caches!
FP to be awarded and a great cache for all to nab!

Yet another really clever cache!! Fun night of hunting with The Sheeps and Gidgetster
Nice and easy under the cover of darkness with The Foxes and The Sheep 8. Log extracted and signed. TFTC
Great camo. We found a similar one from G2 in hobsonville so recognised this one straight away. Thanks!
Out today grabbing some favorited caches around Auckland.
Spotted it right away, but excellent camo for sure!
Now to get far away from this mall!
Thanks!

After a couple of DNF’s over the last few months, I remembered to pick up some pliers today before heading out. This time the cache was easily removed. Glad to finally make this one a smilie! TFTC
This was a pretty cool cache for Mr 12, only down fall was there was a smoker there just before us and Mr 12 knelt on a discarded butt.....ouch

Found the object but was unable to remove the cache from its housing. Tweezers wouldn’t shift it. Will bring better TOTT next time.
Great camo and great hiding spot. Having it so public makes it more exciting trying to not look suspicious. Kids and I thoroughly enjoyed the search and the find. Really appreciate and grateful for the time you have taken to create and place this cache.
Didn't have my tools with me today but turns out I didn't need them. Just needed persistence and a couple of chipped nails... a very big TFTC!!
