Felt fairly confident with this one right up until we gave up on it. Logs were positive, the pictures gave clues, even the hint was concise. But no luck for us - will search again when another found is logged.

Mrs HHunter, MidiK, and MiniJ, out for a big ride this morning, on new bikes with bigger wheels! Nearly sure we found the GZ, with hanging material and dog clip, but no cache attached.
 
15-Jun-14
We will be back

Didnt find it, there was a net fisherman with his gear all over the rocks. The kids found a muzee that i capped a while ago, hoped that meant i was close. Looked under everything close. But with the kids not staying put and running off, cant say ive looked as well as id like.
 
15-Jan-14
Logged with Gracermr on our ride around the estuary whilst the car was serviced. Final cache of the ride and good to get a find after a couple of DNFs. Easy find thanks.

Our second find on this walkway. We were pleased to find a Rattll rock as we are collecting them up to take to the Rattling Zoo in Wellington. We left a little pen, ideal for caching. I hope one of those people who log that they forgot a pen to write in the logbook will take it as it can easily live in a pocket.

Nice easy find found it in a few seconds.TFTC
 
30-Oct-13
Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

This one was missing in the matrix for placed months or date or something for aedk, so we took our morning walk to this one (.. from the parking spot just a little back;))

Cache was a quick find - not so many places it could be..

Found at 11:34 - #4327 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

A nice afternoon stroll in the sun after work. The tide was out and the herons were patrolling the waters edge looking for tasty morsels. The cache was readily found using the hint, and everything was nice and dry. The listed geocoin was nowhere to be seen. TFTC

On a mission today: 1) to find my 600th cache, 2) to make a dent in the caches around the Waikareao Estuary Walkway, 3) to find as many caches around Otumoetai area.

Walked down from another cache. Took a moment to get bearings before finding the cache. TFTC.

It is a great spot. Thanks for the cache.

A night away in Tauranga, and every minute of my time was allocated - no time to spare. No point taking GPS. No point downloading any waypoints.

So I woke up in the morning, at 6:30am. What to do with myself?

Downloaded waypoint on the ipod from motel wifi,running out of battery power, drove/walked (could have walked the whole way) to the area in question, tried to find using only maps. One minute in, geocaching app decided it didn't have the map, had to go on memory & clue. Couldn't remember how far from the landmark the cache was (didn't know the scale), so ended up covering every (clue) for about a kilometer. Nearly got muggled by a lady walking her dog, who wanted to know if I was looking for something - fortunately, that was about a kilometer from the cache at the time. Then realized what the clue was referring to.

Took whistle.

Left red nose for red nose day, Friday 15 July 2011. Go see

Quick find thanks to the hint. We also found that the co ords were astray (the new co ords). Mosh enjoyed the walk along the track and really wanted to go swimming but I wouldn't let him (wet dog and dry car are not a good match!). Collected coin. TFTC

Last of the ride. Left coin. TFTC
