The Base (Waikato) Hamilton, North Island, New Zealand
By McCutchan Cache Clan on 19-Jun-10. Waypoint GC2AEPZ

Replaced many times in various nearby locations, it's time has been....

Possible needs to be checked. Definetly found where it once was but the container is no longer in it

Dosent look like its there anymore

The capsule was there but not the paper.

Came to make a quick find after eating a late lunch nearby only to find 2 places where things had obviously been attached but nothing there now. Assuming we looked well enough and there wasn't a third place?

Found it very tricky good camo

As my sister was up their for Fieldays and was kind enough to do some cache hunting for me (just this one while taking a break from shopping), as she has come on many trips caching she knew what she was looking for and with the adding of the hint so soon made the find... while talking to me on the phone and hunting through the handbag for a pen..... what no pen, puts the cache back goes back into the mall and finds a pen and back out to sign the log, thanks for the placement cache all in good order.

Nice easy find

Good hunt tftc
Logged it

Nice and quick find. Forgot pen but will sign next time.

These are usually pretty easy if you can get them silhouetted by the light. No luck this time.

Tftc

had to go Shopping a few important things. after that this Little Cache was the reward. nice camo!!! thanks for the Cache!

#56 Hoping to do 2 quick caches on the way home from a school event with cam_777 and LimmyB. First one disappointed us with a DNF. Took a bit of looking as it was well camo'ed. Thankfully we are able to log at least 1 smiley today.TFTC.

Found it after a school event. Tricky little one, had to really look hard.

Thought this one looks easy. Hmm took a bit of searching tricky little thing.

Nice litte spot. Down here for the weekend. Tftc

Last one for the night. The patrons at Foundation were having a laugh, I'm sure they wondered what we were up to. Great camo. Off to Foundation for dinner now. TFTC

Finally got this one! 2 failed evening attempts previously. Decided I'd brave the daylight even given the high muggle area. Took only a couple of minutes to locate, but then took about as long to extract the log! Glad to have knocked this one off. SL. TFTC which has kept my streak going for yet another day...!

22:46!!!! With Takahe Akeka Morepork and Kowhai!!!

Great hide in plain sight

In Hamilton overnight. We returned here after having dinner at the nearby Wendy's. During the day shaniqua1 and I shopped. For some reason???? the GPS did not download the co-ords. So had to wait until we had data at the hotel, I copied them down just in case we returned. The sun is setting, so with the help of light from the phones, the nephew found the hide

Thanks for the hide, we had a read of the panel, and learnt a little more of the history.

Yay, got it this time! Attempted it just before xmas but gave up quickly when the kids lost interest. Nice one! Thanks

Wow bush went bush in loved it

Found it went bush

Looked in the bushes and couldn't find this, possibly has been taken?

Pretty sure it was supposed to be in the bush by the big roundabout but it definitely wasn't there, may have being taken again.

Spotted a "person" from a distance looking in the wrong place a few days back, why else would they be there?

So done a check afterwards and it's gone, have now replaced back in the bush with a camoed container

Decided to head to Hamilton from Auckland today with a few caching buddies, with the intention being to find a few caches in Hamilton, and stop for a few on the way down and/or back. Most logs were signed as SEAC- an acronym for South East Auckland Cachers- a name that we came up with for our group, as we regularly cache together!

Thanks to the good hint, this one was found very quickly after we had finished a lunch stop nearby, and managed to drag the kids away from the playground! TFTC!

A plan was hatched for a group of us to travel from Auckland to Hamilton for a day of caching. We often cache together so have given our wee group a name - South East Auckland Crew - and sign ourselves SEAC on the logs to save space. Today we were caching with darthcacher1, purply, NewlynFam, UncleSamNZ, NZTravellers, and were later joined by keylev, craggar and laval.
After having lunch in the complex nearby the kids got a wee bit distracted on the way to this cache by the amazing playground, and it took many revolutions of the mouse wheel before we could convince them to carry on. Once we had the whole group together we headed across the carpark to find this one, and thanks to the hint it was a quick easy find.

Was about 12M off but still a very quick find A magnet one might be better here.

Out in Hamilton for the day with a group of friends. All logs signed as team “SEAC” (South East Auckland Crew)

Thanks for taking me to this spot

Replaced again, as has gone walk about, slightly different location

I will claim this as a find as we did find the hanging bit as seen in previous log photos. unfortunately it was empty though, and the actual cache no where to be seen.
I think this requires COs attention.
Feel free to delete my log if you dont feel I should log as a find.

Found under the cover of darkness with my buddy Jerry_nz. Cool spot...

Good spot, night time hunting makes it tricky. Found with Langley_277

Nice Maori symbols/whatever the language is symbols... Anyway you get the point TFTC... Can't wait to log this one thanks for the cache (TFTC) bye bye

Safely in hand after watching "Inside Out" with the with the Geo-grandkids at the movies. Right-on, muggles didn't take any notice of little people ferreting about - we need to see them more often!

On a day trip to Hamilton with Philip.Perry and his son. Our second mission together but rest assured there will be plenty more.
Thirtieth find and a quick park and walk to the cache and nice find for me.
Cache in good condition
TFTC

Time for another trip over the hill from Tauranga, this time with KmanNZ and my son Dan. An awesome day out, got home just before 7pm with another 40+ caches under the belt.... but it wasn't just about the numbers these Waikato locals have put out some awesome caches.




Just an easy park and grab here - cache found quickly and in good condition, a neat little holder too.




Cheers MCC

YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY FOUND IT!!! (In the dark after foundation again)
My little sisters first find yay

Thanks soooo much for the cache! Love the container

After lunch at foundation went to have a second look for this one but, in daylight, still couldn't find. Only had a minute so didn't get to look very far.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so annoyed at myself that we didn't find this one! Yes it was dark, and yes there were muggles driving past looking at me like I was crazy, and yes we were in a hurry but I still can't believe I didn't find it!!! DNF (sadly)

A quick find just hanging , TFTC

A nice quick find while doing some shopping. A nice size container in an urban environment.
Thanks for the hide. TFTC

Quick find on a cold afternoon. Tftc

Isaac and ruben had fun finding this after watching inside out at the movies

Looked high and low maybe it has been muggled

Awesome fun find. Thanks!

I was surprised that this one was not at the base of the tree. It was a busy day, so I grabbed, then moved away to sign. TFTC.

We found the hidden treasure at the base.

Stealth mission under the cover of darkness, celebrating Roxy's birthday

New cache now in place

Ready to find again

looks like it may be gone, will check soon

Couldn't find today. Thought Easter sunday would be an inconspicuous day but alas no cache to be found

Definitley dont think its here anymore.

Thats a pity don't think its there anymore

Very punny hint. Well hidden. We now have trades so this is the first one we got to do it. TFTC

I drive pass this cache every day to get to work. It will make me smile every morning knowing it is there. TFTC.

My second day on a cache run to Taranaki together with Slieschke. Today the goal was to explore the Forgotten World Highway and to make our way back to Auckland. We decided to take a longer break in Hamilton to help celebrating its 150th birthday with fireworks and a Time Warp. Quick find. TFTC

Found caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.

Another one bites the dust as we slowly made our way back north.

Thanks!
