Rounding up the Herd (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By barkingmadnz on 03-Jun-10. Waypoint GC29P3X

cache gone again, will open up area for other caches.

Add me to the list as I thought I was in the right place although I didn't go out as far as 40 metres.

Had a look for this one, with no luck. Then noticed the recent logs, so flagged it away.

Another DNF.

Same story as previous log - we found a mint tin lid and a syringe so didn't want to get our hands involved in this one! Looked carefully from above, but couldn't see anything.

Found a mint tin lid but no tin. With a syringe lying near I wasn't going rummaging too much!

Have successfully rounded up the herd this morning, thanks to the hint, no thanks to my GPSr , which was 40m off. Was in any case an easy find, though I had to wait out some muggles. TFTC!

Nice and easy find, TFTC

Nice architecture in the adjacent building. TFTC

Goats and cache under control this morning at Myers Park! SL TFTC Cheers....Gaztek

Very cool cache in a pleasant park. Good one. TFTC

Easy find on RWC final day

Go All Blacks

TFTC Found it on the Fan Trail as the thousands madetheir way to the Rugby World Cup 2011 Final - NZ v France. NZ the world champs 8-7. Go the ABs

Nice cache. Thanks!

#2391. Found the rams from Guangzhou, as well as the many other lighted "sculptures" in the park ... interesting. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Didn't see the goats but got the cache ok.

We were walking the fan trail to the stadium for the rugby and stopped off here to 'take photos of the crowd'.

The only one we looked for on the way.

Very interesting Thank you

New container installed (same as previous), also added waterproof paper logbook, will see how it holds up.

Yes It's found but it's all wet...

Found it with San24 after school. The log was very wet..

The log book is pretty well shot due to water. The lid has came off the rain is just pouring in.

Very convenient to my hotel. Greetings from AZ - thanks!

Easy find. Contents damp tho. Suggest a plastic bag to cover it? Cool camo. TFTC

All a bit soggy to write. Nice quiet spot.

Almost missed it but got there eventually.
TFTC

Found with my mum (WelshGirl77) dad (DaffyDID).

TFTC

Second of five caches found today with WelshGirl77 and SquishyD. The cache was quickly located but the logbook is damp and I didn't have a spare to replace it.

TFTC

Found during an early morning stroll around the CBD before going to the Microsoft Teched. tftc.

Mint camo. HAHA! Alright, sorry, bad pun. Does needs maintenance, as already mentioned, TFTC

TFTC. The log is wet, and the pencil was missing. I left a new log sheet.

Wet, rusty. Needs replacement or archive. But an interesting area all the same. TFTC.
Cheers,
G.

The log book is soaked and needs to be replaced. The cache can still be found without any problems though. See my previous log for the picture.

At first I didn't understand what the name had meant as the cache location didn't match the name but after I did some more walking around I finally understood. I wasn't able to sign the log book as it was soaked and I included a picture to show the CO.

TFTH

Found OK, but log so wet unable to sign. Requires maintenance. TFTC

I somehow managed to scribble my log entry in the wet logbook, but it really needs maintenance. Nice camo otherwise. Had been in this park 9 months ago when we arrived in New Zealand.
Greetings,

Nice Park in the Centre of auckland but a very wet logbook ;o(

I looked for this cache over the last few weeks while on our first stay at Starship so I am logging it now that we are back home.

The cache needs maintenance as it is very soggy.

I replaced the cache upside down so the water will drain out but the log book is wet.

TNLN TFTC

New GPS for my b'day, turn left out of my apartment and 1st cache found
cheers for that!

Nice park, logbook soaked.

After a nice pleasant stroll through a park I can't think of anything better to do than find the cache. This one is in a great spot, but the log was soaked through and the container is rusting on the inside. If the next person could bring a small baggie to put the cache in that will go a long way towards preserving it. I managed to sign with my gel ink pen, but without a baggie it is just going to get soaked again. In any case it is in a great spot and definitely not an obvious hide. TFTC!

Thanks for the quick cache... Log is soaked.

Log is so wet that nobody can sign it.

First time in Myers Park which is a bit sad as I worked in town for about 3 years. Dried out as much as I could but needs a new log book.

Wet underfoot and in the cache. So much rain and even tornadoes recently so guess it's been tested. NINO TFTC

TFTC!

Quick find while heading around the CBD today before flying home tomorrow.

Good hint, quick find....always appreciate that.

TFTC

Had been out to search for this one once before, but GPS signal had been fairly poor, and I had no hint, and turns out, I had been completely looking in the wrong place.
Looked up the hint now though, and then, got it as soon as we reached the area.
It was awesome!! Didn't even look funny, as I just walked straight up and grabbed it!
TFTC!!

Found this one with my sis I still was trying to get better signal when she had already found it.

We all headed in the general direction together, easily seen, but sent little mini mob in to get it. he comes in handy sometimes! TFTC

added new logbook, container is getting a bit weather, will check logs to see if it leaks.

Log book is saturated :S, may need replacing, cool place though

Got it camera and all. No tbs . Log wet(soaked) couldn't sign

Our first day in NZ and our first Cache here.

At the beginning of a sightseeing tour.

firefighter87 und girlfriend

Found it! However it was full of water, logbook soaking, and no contents bar a rusty badge -- geocoins not present.

Nice easy find although completely soaked through. TFTC

Logbook soaked, needs replacing. Also no other contents bar a rusty badge -- possibly muggle-pillaged?

Nice park, have walked past it many many times over the past 7 or 8 years, as I work in town. Lots of muggles in all directions. I located this cache quickly, but had to wait to retrieve it.

Managed to get my hands on it, but had to walk away, Headed up to the other cache in the same park, and returned it about a half hour later. TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Easy 1st find in NZ.
TFTC

The cache was found quickly by our tour.TFTC

found quickly

good hiding place - got muggled by guy the other side of the fence, but was a fellow cacher so not disasterous... be careful

Easy find - though there were no trackables resident.

Container is getting a little rusty

TFTC

3575. There was a cool breeze keeping us comfortable as we wandered through this well kept park. It was good to find a cache here.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

A quick find on our tour through Auckland! T4TC and greetings from Switzerland!

Quick and easy find. However, despite the inventory listing 3 trackables, there were none to be found.

That was a quick find. I was lucky to find a muggle free moment.

TFTC,
alge0

Got this one this morning on my way to work, nice park in the center of town, TFTC

On my trip around the world I first visited the States, travelled from there to Australia and continued my trip in New Zealand.
Right now I'm a few days in Auckland. While walking through the town I see a lot and can also find some caches.
Geocaching can take you to spots you would never visit and so I used my trip to find some caches in every state and country.
Thank you for this cache and greetings from Germany

2nd visit - muggle central the first time. TFTC. TB's AWOL.

A really dank evening in Auckland and dark early. Just managed to fit this one in before retiring to my hotel room, damp but far from cold. Just arrived from England on Weds so the heat is very welcome.

Logging Scenic Traveller and Mini TBs in & out.

Ashamed to say I have never been to this park before-great sculpture-thanks for bringingn us here

Nice quick find. TFTC

Took a long time for the hint to click. Log was wet and in poor shape, tried to dry it out.

Had a quick look but a muggle was resting right next to the GZ and was trying to strike up a convo with us. Will have to come back for this one.

Found it at last!!! Yay!! A brilliant start to my Xmas Day! Left 'Jacks Journey Home" a trackable geocoin!! Merry Christmas!!

Decided to come to work early. Needed a morning run in the park to clear up my head. Did that and got this cache on the way.

#266: Easy find, though well hidden. Lots of muggles so timing was the hardest part.

TFTC

tftc

Quick find once I powered on my gps and stopped looking at the rams.

Quick find, lots of muggles around although GZ is pretty secluded (apart from 2 dodgy looking characters who were oblivious to us!). TFTC.

Found it with saggis!

Really nice park area for the cache. Found quickly in good more quiet location. SL TFTC

Nice park tftc
