I managed to get my name onto the log, but only just. I vote for a new container that keeps the water out. TFTC.
I had to laugh at myself stopping amid all the cars racing past in such a frenzy while I'm killing a bit of time doing what I love. Absurd sometimes this geocaching 
A great cache. However the contents inside resembled something I might have blown my nose on though. Tftc
Quick stop after lunch at nearby bakery. Mr j was pretty impressed with the fresh-out-of-the-oven pies. NINO TFTC
Finished a meeting and driving by..shame I didn't have company with long arms..found ok log is just ok but seen better days thanks!

Parked nearby, had an idea as to what the cache hide might be. Sadly the log is damp and a little shredded. Was able to sign and return to hiding place. Thanks for the hide.
Red Queen risked her life crossing the road. Some of us know to look both ways first. TFTC
A quick park and grab. The log sheet is rather wet but we managed to successfully sign. TFTC
Very clever. TFTC

Found but in need of some maintenance. The log is really wet and falling to bits
A relatively easy find, as it was the only obvious thing to look at. Despite that there was some question as to whether it was or it wasn't. Needed to make a quick dash back to the car as a sudden heavy downpour arrived.
A nicer day by far to cache 
Spotted this one from the car - I like this style of cache, hiding in plain view 
Thanks so much for placing the cache 
Spotted this one from the car - I like this style of cache, hiding in plain view Thanks so much for placing the cache Was so excited about this one! Great spot, had to wait till the road wasn't packed so we didn't look suspect
Sorry - found this one some weeks ago but my attempt to log it was not successful
Great find, found it straight away you don't think it's that at first but just screw away and you will find =)
It might be quite cool if most caches were drive-by's like this! You could have a few hundred in no time. Nice hide though all the same.
super quick and easy grab, I did have to get out of the car though as my arms were not long enough!
Another very cool camo. Overlooked for quite awhile before deciding it must be [that]! May have been moved as it was a little higher than the hint indicated. TFTC
Found it! After initial search with Scenic Searchers (not as good as Titirangi Hunters) and no luck we returned and found it, had to visit twice as half of our crew weren't there when first found. Great cache, good camo, very clever.
Second time lucky! tried to find with the Titirangi Hunters but no luck. Once we knew which side of road to look on and after reading some comments it was an easy find. Great cache, so obvious when you know where to look, but also so well hidden great camo. TFTC
This one has been bugging me. Had to get it in the early hours of the morning before work so as not to be seen. Very cleaver cammo
Many thanks to voshed for making some impromptu repairs! May the geocaching gods smile favourably on you and you shall never DNF again!
It's in the shop, being looked at. "I dunno, mate.... parts for these are a #&$%@!"
Found cache today...full of water and log was pulp. I have taken it (and contacted owner) for a few repairs, waterproofing and a new log. Will be back in a couple of days.
Had to park around the corner as the traffic was insane this afternoon, so almost a driveby! Cache quickly found and nicely camo'd. Unfortunately, the log is in tatters and i couldn't sign as it was breaking apart in my fingers. Sorry FMZ, never had another log on me otherwise id have replaced it for you. TFTC!
I have NEVER seen such an ingenious cache ! Terrific ! ( mind you , I'm rather new at this game )
Unfortunately the log is soaking and totally in tatters and I could not write on it ............

Parked around the corner and walked back for a quick find. Needs a new log book. TFTC
There have been exactly 4 finds on this cache since I last checked on it and at that time there was a heap of room on the (back of the) log sheet... I guess I will have to go and check on it again.
Nice quick find. Did unroll a bit of the log sheet to scribble somewhere on it. But really needs replacing. TFTC.
Very clever placement of cache. Lots of traffic around makes it awkward to get and replace without being seen.

I want to call this my first official cache but after trying to find it for myself for ages, another geocacher pretty much pointed me in the right direction.
One down!

Road works and heavy morning traffic meant I had to park a little way from GZ. Made my way safely to the right spot and saw what had to be done. A cleverly constructed container indeed. TFTC, Biggles.
A quick stop while in the area, found a convenient parking spot just around the corner and walked back. Ingenious cache hide..fun to find. Hopefully not too many muggle motorist wondered what I was doing..

Sneaked off during daughter's soccer game at Parrs Park to find a few caches in the area. Haven't seen one of these in a wee while. TFTC.
On my way home from a Tupperware party at howieclan's house. They mentioned how they had made a neat find, and how it took two attempts. Off course Master Dean was keen to see how hard it was. It was the second thing he touched. Very clever hide. The hardest part was working out how to get the log book out, as we approached from the wrong end. TFTC
Quite a busy road on a sunny sunday afternoon...so lots of muggles around. Didn't find it after walking past and around what I thought must be GZ....but after reading the logs again...I suspect this one requires another look from a different perspective....so will have to come back and try again someday soon.
One of those frustrating hunts where everyone else is finding it easily but I'm obviously looking for the wrong type of cache. Maybe next time
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
We decided to spend the day knocking off a few more caches out west.
After spending the day collecting caches along the NW motorway cycleway, New Lynn and Titirangi, we headed back in via Glen Eden/Oratia, collecting a few more caches before the sun set.
Drove by on the wrong side of the road first, then turned around and parked right beside GZ. Cache was spotted straight away, signed in the car then replaced and we were back on our way.
TFTC!

Tried to find yesterday looked for awhile, no luck will try again another time hopefully it still there.
I went to go for this one on the way back from some others in the area, on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
I parked on the other side of the road, and spotted the cache from there. Now the tricky part for this cache was actually how to get it open!! It literally took me like over 10 times as long to open the cache than to spot it!!
It would seem the other side to the opening side was broken, so I assumed that was the opening, and I had a bit of trouble with getting the log out!! Till I realised that that was the other end! And then from there on out, I had no trouble with the cache!
Sign log, pretend to tie shoelace, replace, done!!

Rubbish day added difficulty to this cache hunt but then again it took longer to cross road than to find it.
Found the cache, very clever. Forgot to take a pen though 
so I'll have to visit again soon to log my visit. Awesome cache, awesome hiding place. I'm going to lead a GPS/geocaching activity with my scout troop, and I think I'll get one patrol to (try to) find this cache. TFTC

TFTCWell with Seattle's Best and Indiana Jil we started to head back home after the fantastic event hosted by yourself, so decided to get some caches along the way. Arrived at GZ, jumped out, cache in hand. Sitting in car while logging and what do ya know...been here before early last year...ooppps!!! So today it counts under the 11.11.11. See when its dark you get disorientated.....! Thanks for the adventure on this one! TFTC!
Found this great little 'drive-by' with Kayaknkiwi and Indiana Jill on the way home from the 11-11-11 event. KNK made the grab and the treacherous dodge across the street! TFTC.
