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.

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 2. Nothing I could find today. Thanks.

Had a good hunt under and on top - nothing to be found. Was going past to look for another cache. Is not there.

NO maintenance since July.

Looks like it is missing again...

Sadly I didn't find it. Thought I had the right spot but searched high and low....mmm...wonder where it is hiding

Also didn't find this today, don't think it's there anymore

After a DNF in January, we were back in the area today looking to tick this one off.
We were pretty certain where we should be looking - and the GPS seemed to agree... But once again, we could not come up with the prize.
Our luck seems to run out when we are in the botanical gardens

After taking a wrong turn, we soon found the right path, and the final cache for the day was secured.

Now off to dinner and the roller derby! Go DeadWreckoning!

Found it. TFTC Nice walk.

As we approached GZ we spotted what might be a likely hiding place and sure enough there it was. A nice early morning with a few walkers and joggers about. Left the monkey trackable. TFTC

Easy find inbetween passing muggles on a great day for a walk in the gardens, TFTC.

What a nice little spot in the gardens! Quick find, TFTC!

Took my boys to the park to collect a few caches. This was my first in three months, its nice to be back in the game TFTC

Number three on an afternoon out entertaining the kids.

The gardens are great.

Loved this bit if the gardens. Tftc

HARD TO FIND BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SISTEMA CONTAINER IT IS A SMALL CAMO CONTAINER but found it after a while whoop whoop

Nice walk through the Gardens, picked up a trackable.

Only one object could fit the clue , quick find at GZ with no one around, TFTC dropped TB

Thanks ZorkV

Visiting the Gardens for my Birthday Picnic.

So I replaced the Geocache with a Camoed Mustard container. Magnets are involved. Includes NeverTear Paper Log and Pencil.

Come find me.

Seemed obvious but couldn't find anything on or around the object. Nice walk though

Looks like I need to check this one out.

This one seemed pretty straight forward - we thought we knew what to look for, and GPS directed us to a likely looking object... but no cache to be found
We were hoping to complete 100 caches for Jan... will have to attempt another one now!

A true mystery to me. How can a common systema cache with a magnetic attraction not be sighted on or under but otherwise attached to the only metallica within metres of GZ? HOTA

N & E in lovely gardens.
TNLN.
TFTC.

All good nice cache.

First NZ find and a very nice size to find in such a public place.
Thanks for the fun

Like the force field!

Thanks - good placement and clue.

Great location. Force field working well

Had a picnic in the gardens today (wasn't the only one)
Cache all good.

Nice day out at the gardens. First one of the day.

Another great place that caching has brought me to on another nice day of Caching in Auckland. Thanks for the hide

Beautiful walk and a sunny day

Found it with the Beryls Barn crew

Fun day in the sun

Wow hubby and I found our first cash, thanks heaps. Had a wonderful walk with the dog and now are three happy puppies

A beautiful spot for a cache. Another pleasant find on Labour weekend. Note: Make sure the cache is properly closed before replacing.

Nice quick find in these wonderful gardens. TFTC

Satnav was off, so had to resort to hint. Fab cache hide.

FOUND
Day 2 on our Kiwi Adventure trek to the NZ Mega - had to stop here to pick up Lello, our geocoin, he's been in NZ for nearly 5 years, so we have collected him to head on home, after the event in Dunedin.

Found along with SEMIK and Flippers on our way to The first NZ Mega.
at this rate we will never get there
Thanks KiwiLeon

Accompanied the Flippers to pick up their five year old Geocoin! I can't believe it stayed in the wild so long. I'm glad it was dropped in a cache at a beautiful place so we could enjoy it too! I took several photos but can't post as the card reader for my ipad is playing up. Will try to remember to post them later. Cheers!

tftc. dropped of tg from south island

[red]Lello the gnome has got to Auckland, we the owners will pick him up, fingers crossed on Friday, as we travel through for the NZ Mega in Dunedin - please leave this gnome geocoin to be reunited with his owners[/red]

In Auckland over night. Have a very narrow window of time, so thought I'd be super organised and make a list of caches to find...

This wasn't on the list... Was after the Wherigo and this was in the vicinity. A surprise find. Was expecting something less obvious. TFTC.

Cool pathway to this one

Nice and easy cache in a wonderful place. Thank you.

Nice. Intrigued by a couple of the surrounding trees. TFTC )

found it today . . . . . once there the name of the cache became clear (DUH) lovely little spots all thru this park

First caching experience with the crew.

Out for a walk with the puppy and the rest of the team this morning we came across this cache

Nice quiet and secluded place to find the cache without any interruptions

TFTC

Caitlin's 1st find with l&a

Interesting art piece! T4TC. TNLN.

Part of the pathway has been closed off for maintainance, so had to find an alternative route to this one. Found it quickly and dropped a TB. TFTC

My first ever visit to these gardens, I was quite impressed. Cache was a quick find in a very pleasant spot. Signed log, TFTC!
