Looked heaps but gps kept going different ways ands or on the fence line of flaxmere collage , is it still there ?

Found with owner permission thanks heaps

cache and most of the trees now gone GoodBye

Looked today with the kids... Did not find

Tftc

I found my first geotag! Was such a cute little container

Tftc

Mum, 3YO and 7YO decided to look for this one after dropping 10YO at near-by Canoe Polo this afternoon.
7YO took the lead, and uncovered the cache very quickly - a really cute container!
Mum thought they had done such a good job, she shouted cold drinks on the way back to Canoe Polo.

Cute cache, thanks

survived cyclone pam undercover a but but found it

Chea found this one by fluke. Singhites

Found pretty quickly, lid doesn't secure very well due to size of log, may leak if it rains? Cute container though! TFTC

Not the smallest one, but realy sweet. Tftc.

smallest cache we've seen thanks.

up and running again yeah

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

just joined the list of DNF to this AAC (a Abandoned cache) (

Came over to Flaxmere to find this "historical' cache as i had never been into the township. But i was disappointed that i too sadly could not find the cache..... I am sure it has got lost.. but i will keep a log on it to see what happens.

No sign

Day Four of the KiwiFruitsNZ/Vamber Xmas road trip saw us head again to collect some caches to meet the requirements for our GIO Licences, and enjoy a great lunch at Black Barn Winery.

Searched high and low for this one but came away with nothing! Possibly missing? If not, our third DNF for the day!!!!

Day four of our geo-cacation with KiwifruitsNZ saw us tackling caches around the Hawke's Bay, and also an enjoyable New Year's Eve lunch at the Black Barn Bistro!

We searched all over, but couldn't find the cache. Hoepfully it's not gone missing?

First attempt after being away for so long sadly didn't find. Kids and I will be back again soon!

Part of our night caching fun. t4tc

I didn't even get the chance to say hello seeing as you were out of the country. TFTC

After admiring some massive gum tree stumps we headed off to locate this cache. This cache was quickly found, a sneaky hide though - well done.

TFTC

Sneaky!

Nice hide. Hope it survives with all the construction work taking place.

Quick find between showers, while in this area after the dahlia show. Thanks for the cache.

Unable to locate this cache will try again though!

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Most Christmas holidays involve a road trip of some description and this year is no exception. Today we were travelling from Gisborne to Napier, picking up a few caches along the way. We were actually looking for large numbers today, so picked this up after the wine trail. Quick find once at site. TFTC

Found at night after doing Lovers Lane.

TFTC!

Perfect co ord. Tftc.

No go here today, unfortunately. Thanks, anyway.

Found on the way home from the mildly-moist but extremely-enjoyable Clive CITO event.

We had a quick look in some 'typical' hiding locations but came up with nothing.
I just so happened to look in the right direction and saw it.
T4TC and the story of the trees

Damn. Cache overload. My notes say I found this with Etherlord and the Etherfamily on a fill-in-the-blanks trip back from the Clive CITO, but I just cannot remember what this cache looks like. I... Yes I can! I know what this one was! Woot! This one was a nice little surprise.

After being unsuccessful at a nearby cache, I had to try for this one to fill in a blank space on my caching calendar. Glad to say it was found fairly quickly! Thanks for the cache, great stand of old gum trees.

cache replaced

Good Friday find. Nice history story. Great for kids. Tftc

checked today cache is missing not sure if i can find a new hide e hole will update as soon as possible sorry for any problems caused

Looked for some time but nothing found. Gave up in the end. Watch for broken glass.

Found on our caching trip through Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay. Many Thanks to the CO's for taking us to so many interesting places which we would never had visited without searching for your cache. TFTC Drawp

Found on an early morning cache run. This was Mrs F's old school as well, she also has great memories of this place.
TFTC!

Second visit to find this one. This time we walked straight to it! TFTC.

Found at 6:35:00 PM. Driving around seeing the sights of Napier before heading South for the Mega in Dunedin. Took a few minutes to find this nasty nano but with good coordinates and an extra good look we spotted it. It will be a shame to see these trees cut down as there are some magnificent specimens among the ones remaining.

Thanks MorganEd

Returned with my son, I found this last time and replaced it, never thought to un-screw it... Was a new-be back then lol TFTC

Visited today changed log book cache all good and ready for the next find

Started getting cold, its a hard find ... or is it gone?

A cloudy windy day in the Hawks bay area, TFTC. Log is very full!

hides well but not for me

Great cache, good hint.

A geocoin visit.

We visited with SpeedyGT small wine powetrail and we stopped for this one too. TFTC and greetings from Czech republic!

We visited with Simal small wine powetrail and we stopped for this one too. TFTC and greetings from Czech republic!

Early morning hunt. Tftc

Cache was fallen down on the ground and log book is almost full. Thanks

Didnt find this one. Shame about the trees.

After searching the likely places for a nano hide we spotted the cache lying on the ground. Initialed the log and returned it to where we thought it should belong. TFTC.

# 4305

Took a while to find this one, A well placed gumleaf hid the cache perfectly

Quick find. Merry Xmas all and TFTC MorganEd.

Beware that someone has dumped a huge pile of dog turds not far from GZ [:(!]. So make sure you are watching where you tread rather than the GPSr.
Was the barbed wire on the fence to keep the kids in school or to keep others out?
TFTC.

#2659. Luckily I spotted Mt Dog Turd before stepping in it. Quick find. TFTC.

TB Dip

Didn't take as long as I expected. TFTC

TB Dip pleased to hear all the finds

After evading the broken glass, found after a bit of a scrabble around.

Hard to find

Good bye trees

TFTC

Second try at this one. Very clever, but it still took a while. TFTC.

Nice one! found after a little search.

Found after a brief search. TFTC

A great day in the Bay with WilkieWalkers who had done this cache. Took us a while but finally found it. Sad the trees have to go in the name of progress.

Said goodbye. TFTC

TFTC nice easy find

Clue and GPS took us straight to it. Tftc

Didn't physically log, sorry MorganEd! (been there, done that already). Great spot! TFTC again!

Found after a short search. Nice trees. TFTC

Put our nano finding fingers on and it was a quick grab. TFTC!

Wow had never seen these trees before and didn't know they existed. Have travelled through Flaxmere many times but never down this road. Nice hide TFTC

Tricky wee hide but got it in the end.

Had to come back to this after looking for a time, went and did the skater boy cache and found out what the nano might be, went back and looked again and found it.

took a little longer than id hoped, but got it eventually for our first find of 2011

Travel bug visit

Rather worrying near those huge trees in the gale force wind which was bringing large pieces down.
TFTC

Impressive trees, the cache seemed tiny in comparison
Many thanks for the placement.

Only just found it! We smiled when we did

Took a bit of a search to find TFTC

No memories from this area, we’re just visiting, but this cache brings back memories of our geocaching adventures in Australia. Having to watch for snakes! Being eaten alive by mozzies! Glad to be geocaching in kiwiland. Seriously we love gum trees. Sad to see them go. They remind us of our happy holidays caching in the great Aussie bush! Nice hide. Thanks MorganEd for the cache.

TB Dip

Spotted at GZ. Easy when you've seen a few of these. Nice and quiet here today. TFTC

Had to search carefully to find this one.Thanks for cache.

Looked all around but the gps gods were not with us and we came up blank.

We were just getting started for the week so not saying goodbye yet! TFTC
