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.

Couldn't find this one

with 5 'teams' of cachers all out together today - making total people 12 people that would be 24 eyes and no one could spot this one (and one person had previously found this cacher) I think it is well and truly gone ...we stopped to look just to make sure

A bunch of us looked again today...no joy.
Time to say goodbye to this cache.

9 months since the last person to find, CO hasnt been active for 15 months, time to go?

A very interesting tree; however no luck spotting a cache here in the limited possible hiding places. Could the CO please check?

3 DNF Time for a check.

As we were passing thought we might as well take a little look despite the previous DNF's but we were just as unlucky - I think its gone.

No luck. Not a good day for us. This is our 3rd no find today.

Tried but no luck. I know it said small, but looked in all the nooks and cannies in the tree and could not find. Maybe had the wrong tree. Will have to kook another day

Sorry I couldn't find this one, I tried!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Thought I had the right tree - but maybe not. Will have to try again.

Found the tree

Quick park and grab before heading off to get some shopping done. TFTC

Another find for wendythebean

.she is on a roll even tho she is in dire need of food. . Off now to a cafe to refuel.. tftc

Great find for when one has no geocaching gear and is running low on energy! Quick easy find.... Off for lunch with MY lovely kiwisurveyor ... TFTC

Easiest cache to find

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Needing to find 50 caches in a day at least 1k apart, for geo licence challenge; I had decided today was the day, as I was already up early, dropping my daughter off at the International Airport at an un-godly hour of the morning.
Was to be number 16, but when I got here I found it was only 995m from my last cache, so I couldn't count it. Would have been stupid not to still find it, as I was parked right beside. TFTC

Found whilst on holiday with B.D.I's.
Wondered where it could be until we saw it! Cool hide.

Many thanks for the cache.

The cache was quite exposed when I got to GZ, so I hid it better when I replaced it. On the way to the cache, I heard an awesome engine noise. I turned around and spotted a Ferrari F430 Scuderia. What a car!! And what a beautiful engine noise!! I tried to find it again after finding the cache, but the owner had already put it in his garage.

Found with Sir & Lady Harveyjj, what a lovely spot - thank you for bringing us here

TFTC, Log signed as T2 (BDI's + Sir & Lady Harveyjj) and cache returned safely (& Well hidden!) from whence it was found.

Apologies for the late log - catching up on our return home

Good cache

Yay nice location. Tftc

Lovely neighborhood and great location for cache

Took a while but got it!!

Ha, I found it where others failed, tricky

Found this one with mum and Shenae, well technically they found it because I was lazy and just sat in the car watching. Tftc!

Had found this a while ago but realised I hadn't logged it! Nice quick find, thanks

On the way to start the nearby multi and this one was on the way so had to stop. Parked right on GZ and jumped out of the car for an ultra quick find hoping that the lady watering her garden wouldn't see us. We were to quick for her to even notice we were there as we signed the log in the car and replaced. TFTC!

Nice hide. Tftc

Thanks for the fun!

I had some time between and after work commitments today so managed to fit in a drive around in this area to find a few caches. Coordinates spot on so the cache didn't take too long to put my hand on. TFTC, Biggles.

found it

A very apt name for thios sneaky little hide. TFTC

Out on a night caching mission. Definitely well named.

Log full, Tftc

Nice quick find while in the area doing some caching for the August cache challenge. TFTC

Look for the right twist

I was in need of a D1.0 to fullfill my D1.0 quota of the GLCS Provisional D Licence. This was the closest one to where I am staying. NIce quick find. I can understand how the cache got it's name. TFTC.

Thanks. Nicely hidden.

Great cache name, a quick park and grab with this one today, cool trees down this street! TFTC

Perfect park and grab. Love the cache name. TFTC

There was a game going on across the road but they were occupied, TFTC.

#343 Loved GZ! A very quick find with thankfully no muggles nearby.

This is the ultimate drive-by cache. Cheers.

Quick n easy drive by. TFTC!!!

A quick drive-by, and an interesting GZ; TFTC.

Nice quick one, TFTC.

Found on a sunny Wednesday evening after a run along Eastern Beach. TFTC.

quick easy park and grab on the way back from the beach on a stinking hot day. tftc..

TFTC. Happy New Year 2013 to all.

Tricky little hide, especially with the neighbour working in his garage!! Had to be quiet! TFTC

Looked in the likly spots and came up empty handed. Was about to ask Fuzzyfriut, as she has found this before when I found the little guy. Tucked nicely away in its little hiding place.

A quick park and grab

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

We spent a nice afternoon out East Auckland, picking up a few caches as we drove around. A nice quick find as we drove by. Thanks for the cache!

Mum and I jumped out to do this one. We searched and searched while Dad waited in the car with my brother and sister.
We discovered later there was a muggle across the street; she asked us if we were lost!
Dad gave up on us finding it - he took over the search... and found it in no time!

Mum and 8YO jumped out to do this one, but couldn't find it. After a conference with rest of the team, and a muggle asking if we were lost; Dad came up with the cache (after saying "it can't be here") - number 99 for us!

We thought this was going to be a simple park and grab...we combed the tree and found plenty of places a cache could be...but no cache to be found ? Then again it was late in the day so maybe we missed it

Found. So would not be doing this in Australia.

Nice quick find
Tftc

Quick find at night with few muggles to worry about.

Picked a different area to explore today. Never been out this way before. 5/12 found. Interesting tree. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Kids ran past this to another one in order to get the cache first. Meanwhile the parents slowly strolled and retrieved.
Nice and easy.
TFTC.

A nice quick find on my trip around the peninsula. Interesting spot for a hide. TFTC.

I remember looking for this cache almost 2 years ago and not finding it glad it was an easy find today with the family out on Saturday afternoon drive enjoying the weather. Even met another cacher at the point! TFTC

It certainly lives up to it's name! A quick find although it might take some people a while to spot this.

Very appropriately named! TYFTC

Nice n easy. Good on ya twister. Were u watching us.

Nice easy find TFTC

I do love a cache I don't have to dismount the bike to retrieve. Log page fill so i added a page, should last a while.

out for some Leap Year caches today.Got some strange looks from people in cars. TFTC

Twisted is right, quick find TFTC.

Quick grab while exploring new areas with the kids. TFTC.

A muggle mowing the lawn was nearby and a muggle was peeking out of a window but we managed to grab and replace without being noticed. TFTC.

had to do the twist of the wrist to grab this little guy, TFTC

Mrs B on a solo trip to Auckland and this morning with her sister & nephew decided to do a few caches. A side trip back to the car for a pen and then headed off to find this one! A nice quick find for Mrs B's sister on this cache, although the swaps made Mrs B laugh!

Found more by feeling than seeing, a quick drive-by.
