A little detour through back roads from Ngakuru.
Easy found, original logbook pretty damp and was in the top part.
Replacement logbook was on the bottom part and I signed on the replacement logbook.
The whole container pretty damp and wet. Left Geocoin in top part.
TFTC, Cheers nzkeko

It was a bit of a detour to visit this one but we needed to find some lonely caches for an Auckland challenge. Cache was found exposed in a pile if wood so we replaced it nearby in line with the hint. Robert was nowhere to be seen but the chickens were taking an interest in us TFTC.

Finally had the time to stop on my way through to Mangakino today. Robert wasn't around though. Top of the container very wet, as was the log book and TB in it. Bottom is reasonably dry, someone put in a replacement log book, which i signed, and added a ziplock to keep it dry. Took TB to dry, left clip.

XC and TK heading south to Turangi for another weekend working on the truck... Decided to detour here as new GPSr was getting some use with a new GPX loaded... TK drove to GZ and we soon had the cache in hand... TK signed the log while I swapped trackables... Dropped in German Star TB I picked up in Aus last week and picked up Trackable Adventure Guide TB...
Nice to see a Zork V cache down this way. Cache had some water in it.. TK wiped it out and dried as much as possible..

09-Sep-10
Nice easy find after battling heavy rain, a slip (bank and tree) which took out one lane, and people who don't dip headlights! No Robert (must be one of those sane people who stays inside when it is pouring) and no log book present either, so that definitely needs checking up on. Swapped seahorse keyring for TGC4 bracelet. TFTC

19/03/10 15:00 approx. Found on way back from Tokoroa but somehow did not log it. Paper log is signed and dated 19 March 2010. I only noticed this as my iPhone showed the cache as Not Found as I drove past the area on Sunday. Oops. Wonder if there are any others I missed that day... Logged as of today's date so as not to mess up my stats. Thanks for the cache - a bold and brazen hide.
Cheers, GC.

Cache was found, very exposed........ in the hands of the Huhugrubs!! Big Grin An easy find for us. But we used the GPS to find the real hiding spot to replace it. Nice to meet Huhugrub and have a chat. Nice to be greeted by Robert's friendly dogs too. TFTC.

Well it must have been a busy morning at Roberts Rocks. Recieved the notification early this morning while in Hastings. didnt think we would make FTF, and had to settle for third. TFTC

#968. FTF. Good hide. Robert muggled us along with the farm dogs. Good to say hello. While we were signing the log in the car, Punga and Paua pulled up behind us. Good to meet them and had a chat. Since we already had the cache out, we passed it to Punga and Paua to hide it back, using their GPS. Spot on.
