Too Breathless to Bark (Auckland) Northcote, North Island, New Zealand
By barkingmadnz on 06-Mar-10. Waypoint GC24DKH

This one has run out of puff, replacement not really suitable after council works so will open area for others

No reply from cacheowner for a couple of months on maintenance requests

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Plenty of hint objects in the vicinity of GZ, but no cache found, even when greatly expanding the search area. Cache owner will need to check on this one.

If the cache is still there?! It is definitely in need for maintenance too.
Worthwhile to check

I am a bit worried about the whereabouts of this one, as the council is in the business at the moment of upgrading the paths through here. New walkways, bridges, etc. And a few of the trees at the gz have been felled too. I couldn't find it as the area has been cleared of rubbish and debris.

Nice easy find sitting in plain sight so rehid. No log book

Saw 2 entrances from the road, one was blocked off due to stream upgrade/maintenance, so took the other in hopes it may get us where we needed to be, but seemed to go off in the other direction, so abandoned the search for the day, will try again when a little dryer and perhaps sans children.

Found cache reasonably quickly - still a little damp and almost empty (no log). Replaced and covered as found.

Easy find as cache had been discarded at the entrance to the bush walkway. Container was full of water and the only contents remaining were an All Black card and small film spool. The log book was also gone. Emptied out water and dried container and contents (with T shirt - so Mrs Pr will not be happy when she does the washing). Returned the sealed container 1m from path close to where I believe the original GZ to be. Just threw a few leaves etc on top for concealment. Unfortunately, had no spare paper or plastic bag with me, so cache is rather bare. Like the nice doggy picture on lid. Owner has been notified. TFTC.

Most contents including log book missing. Owner has been notified.

TFTC - will have to go back and walk through the park another time.

Quick find in the tipping down rain. TFTC.

Mrs j thought she saw the cache on arrival but mr couldn't. That and the GPS indicating 20 m meant we did a ticky tour back but on the way found a black bag with porn videos. We thought a warped sense of humour could connect the name, hint and bag but thankfully NO!! But it did cause enough delay to allow mozzies to find us. PINO TFTC

Easy find thanks. Spotted his wee pinkies a mile off!!

A nice quick dash down the track and a quick find. Cheers Gav [9188]

Nice cache... very appropriate title.

found it just a short walk from the road.
TFTC

This one was an awkward find. There seemed to be many places for it, and running late, we checked the hint.
Found a black rubbish bag. I prodded it with a stick, and it was box shaped. Carefully I decided to open it. Inside was another black rubbish bag, inside which was another, inside which was another...etc...for about 5 or 7 bags.
I thought, well this has to be it!! Once it was open however, I received a shock...
Inside was about 7 video tapes...I had accidently stumbled across someones R18 video tape stash...oops.
So I left that, and went off in the other direction. Once I was in the right place, I got the cache easy as.
So that was an experience...
TFTC!!

Woof woof from the Smegster family. It's a lovely day for puppies to play! TFTC

Can imagine this being great fun . TFTC took.

Thought I might be in for a long hall up the hill but was pleasantly surprised.

Fun and games a plent. t4tc

I'd completed a 6 1/2 hour tramp through the Waitaks yesterday so even though I was a bit tender this morning I decided to head out on the other side of the bridge and found myself walking along this nice little trail. As per the last log the hint was only relevant when I got to GZ (as you'd hope) and the find was soon made. That looks like fun too! TFTC

Was in the area today to do my first Letterbox Hybrid Cache so I thought I would grab some of the other caches in this bush reserve. GPS wasn't too accurate in the vegetation and I was confused by the hint, until I approached GZ when it all made sense. Signed log and dropped of TB while mozzies started to swarm around me. Time to go! Cheers for the cache!

No barking here and not out of breath getting there. Nice stroll along the path finding three caches along the way. Easy find. TFTC

#488: I wanted to go for a ride, but the other half didn't like that idea...nice quick find. Woof!

Quick walk the right path for easy find.

Took the wrong path initially which really did leave us breathless but once on the right path, the search area was obvious. Would love to see this structure in a downpour! Nice pup pictures!

TFTC

Nice little walk, and a good hide.
TFTC

Great hide and walk. TFTC

Great place to play indeed for pups and old dogs alike. TFTC

GPS was a bit all over the place, but with the help of the clue got to GZ. TFTC Took Webbed Feet Geocoin, Left Pathways coin.

Our first geocache with our first GPS. We didn't find it; but will try again next time we're in AKL. We'll try another one tomorrow - somewhere we're more familiar with, where the kids are able to run free.

We would like to log our 50th find and it is only appropriate we find a cache hidden by the team that introduced us to Geocaching... TFTC and the fun times
Dropped geocoin & travel bug

Now if that wasn't corrugated, wouldn't you have great fun playing poo sticks. T4TC - M@

A nice wee cache. TFTC

4487 Took us awhile to find, our co-ords were over ~20m out today. Found using some cacher logic. TFTC

That was our very first cache ever, was great finding it although was quite easy. But really good fun in this lovely park!
Wooof ;o)

It helped to think like a puppy: "What would be fun to do/run/eat/hunt here?" Reasonably quick find once we did that. Thanks for showing us another interesting park in Auckland.

Good location, soon located the cache. SL left GC TFTC

found with yo mum. loved the clue, though a bit disturbed
thanks for the caches today - think we found about 7 of yours!

Out and about with Mrs TWS picking up caches in auckland - seems like months since I have cached in the "Hometown"

TFTC

A cake walk - thanks

We know this piece of bush well from previous caching experience. Its a great walkway in urban North shore. Dropped off Intel TB. Nice hide, TFTC

Once on the right path, fun to find, great spot.Liked this one. Travel Bug Sunshine Orange- R06CPB on the move.

Out with the dog, nice walk and quick find....dropped 2 TBs....TFTC

Enjoyed wondering through the researve. Woof Woof. TNLNSL TFTC

After some rain this would be fantastic to ride down on. Wheeeeeee!.

Out: Geocoin.

Cheers for the cache.

DAN LOVED THIS PLAY AREA-HAD TROUBLE GETING HIM AWAY-TFTC

Straight on to this one, have spent many an hour in this park looking for another cache.

TFTC, +/- geocoin

Nice place for a walk early Saturday morning. TFTC

Quite little park, short walk to GZ, my GCDD had enough, she just laid down and looked at me " Come on, hurry up can't be that hard" and she was right - had the cache soon in my hand - dropped GC TFTC

Late afternoon visit and a reasonably quick find when the GPS settled down T4TC.

I doubt I would have got my dog to stop playing in that after the rains. Thanks.

Nice walk in the bush. Lots of mozzies around but did not hang around long enough. Quick find. TFTC

Heading out with JF. Called by this area and it was Amy's first cache!!

12 noon. A straightforward find inconjunction with Monkey-business. It was Amy's (9 weeks) first cache!! Nice to find a soft-toy fish! We did worry about where the puppies would end up when playing nearby.
Added 2 bracelets and 2 dice, took the fish and some glitter with matching sellotape.

Quick find while in the area.
Been in this park before (other corners)

Kiwicouple's First to Find Geocoin visiting.

We were nearby at Lake Pupuke when the notification for this cache came through. Made a quick dash to Kauri Glen Park, and were relieved to find we did not have to get Breathless for this cache. GPS led us a little astray, and we were just narrowing in on what turned out to be the actual GZ when Dommey and Happykiwis arrived. Dommey made a quick find. Joint FTF . Pleased to meet you Dommy - congrats on your first cache, and a FTF at that! TFTC.
