TB visit - interesting to note the Post Box disappeared completely shortly after the cache was archived!

had hoped to tempt people to walk the neighbourhood but it didn't really work and the cache has come undone twice - I think when the council waterblasts the graffitti off. The first time we managed to salvage the cache and reglue it but this time the cache has been removed and the ferrous disk rather dangerously bent down. We considered moving it across the road and even submitted the edits but we don't really think it makes for a good hide so bye bye...

I'm starting to make a habit of these twilight runs. Super quick find at the obvious GZ. Spent more time trying to work out how to open the cache than I did finding it. Was able to return the cache before some muggles came walking around the bend, so could quickly depart to the next SOO. Cheers for the cache!

I have been helping AotearoaForever with his caches and he encouraged me to start my own. Very first find!
TFTC! Quiet street.

[Nice easy cache...When I grabbed the cache I didn't notice the tin and so when I replaced it took me about 15mins to figure out how to attach it back to the] post box [I got it in the end, TFTC.]

This visit to East Auckland was supposed to happen 4 weeks ago but I was called in to work instead. I finally got here on a reasonable day weatherwise.

Had to wait for a muggle to use the container on top of the cache before I could log my visit.

One of the magnets didn't seem to work properly - might pay to check it out.

Cheers for the cache.

XC and TK out and about doing some local caches for a change. Parked the V-Strom within 1m of GZ and quickly found. XC used to live in this street.. It is a nice spot.
