Marvelous Mural (Waikato) Morrinsville, North Island, New Zealand
By shelzroo on 06-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2BBT6

not had time to replace so archiving for someone else to place a new one

Last found July 2011, owners' last log-in to geocaching.com October 2011 (to disable this cache) Owners last caching find Jan 2011. Perhaps time for this cache to go, and make space for another?

This has gone walkies, will get a new one in soon

No luck for me either.

Can the owner please check it is still there.

Painted myself into a corner and a few other places but DNF

7th cache for the day. Didn't have a lot of time left and had to leave this one unfound. Next time will come better prepared.

Looked all around GZ took me to corner which had a space but no cache

Quickstop, quickfind. TFTC

TFTC.

Have looked for this before and couldn't find it. Easy find today though. Wonder what has changed.

Nice hide. TFTC

Wow we are pleased to knock that one off! Kept passing by & one thing or another prevented us from stopping. Nicely hidden. TFTC

TOOK 2 x TB's to continue their travels.

Just dropping TB's on the way home from Gisborne trip. Happy trails.

Looked in lots of spots....maybe next time

Out and about for an Easter Sunday drive and collecting a few solved puzzles and trads on the way. Thanks.

5pm - Nice easy driveby TFTC

Easy find, cant believe its still here either!

Great mural, easy find. Can't believe this hasn't been stolen, being in such an obvious place! TFTC

An easy find passing through! TFTC

Quick find.
TFTC

Looked in the correct spot this time

TFTC

Tempted to look in a different object first, but luckily found it in a different spot. The police car did not stop, otherwise it would be difficult to explain what we were doing in the rain. TFTC

Easy find this morning. Not at all sure why we could not find this one previously. Thanks very much shelzroo

We had tried this one a couple of months earlier but could not track it down. Thought we would give it another go today while in the area. Took a bit of hunting, then spied the likely spot, and sure enough there it was.

Had to resist the temptation to search the other notable object. Then spied a gap. Cheers

Arrived here around 8:30 so there were a few people around and cars near GZ. Walked to GZ and had a look around to find no one in the general vicinity. Quickly figured where the cache should be and made a quick find. This was good as it meant I did not look too suspicious searching for the cache. TFTC

Beat me the first time but got it today
TFTC

Nice and easy.

Took a bit of searching to locate this one. SL TFTC

With the drizzle falling we almost gave up. Luckily the clue helped to discover the identity of the cache. TFTC

Crafty wee spot - I've driven through here many times, but never once noticed the mural...! Will always notice it now! TFTC

6308 A marvellous mural that we have never noticed before... found using the hint, TFTC.

Took a bit of searching but when we re-read the cache description it was a quick find. TFTC

Found it at 10pm
Almost gave up looking

Found on second attempt. Hard to locate. Came back at ten at night and was able to put my hand on it with the help from little p nz

Not sure what went wrong here

TFTC.

DNF in July with the old co-ordinates (which were in the middle of the road!)

no trouble this time though.

Great bit of art all right, nice easy find at GZ as it was quite exposed. Rehid a little better. TFTC

TFTC

Very good hide. TFTC!

Quick stop to get off the busy road and to find before the kids come out from school.

Wonderful Mural that really say's what the area is about.
Someone has recently squared up the corner but cache still safe
tftc

Earthie and I looked hard for this one but no luck. Was fairly busy. Thanks anyway

took a while...(must read the clue makes it easy)

Just about to give in to this cache as the rain was somewhat relentless..so called upon a lifeline and Phoned..rather Texted a friend to gather a extra nudge to find. Had a closer look at the mural too,as its more of a blur as you drive by normally..Thanks for the visit...
Hint makes good sense..
[red]TFTC[/red] Took TB

Did not find and yes we admire the art work

didint find it in the right place 3 of use looked didint find

Took a little while to find this one and then we stayed to admire the art work T4TC.

TB Drop

Raining quite heavy now, but had to stop.
WP led to transformer - no way!, and maybe the rag bin.
Head scratching - both matched the hint, but no way.
Widened the search area to a more likely hide, and got it.
Left Dragonfly cachekinz (Mel's green grab that wants to see the world!)

Gotcha, have never really taken notice of the mural until today. T4T$ SL

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 37° 39.697 E 175° 31.068
Distance From Old: 60.8 feet or 18.5 meters.
Updating coords.

In Morrinsville for business. Took a bit of a search initially as listed co-ords were well off the money. Back to the car to load the alternative co-ords and bingo - easy find. Suggest you replace listed co-ords with alternatives to remove confusion. NINO TFTC

Suggest you replace listed co-ords with alternatives as these are more accurate.

Arrived at GZ in the dark this morning so no muggle problems. A challenging hide!
Many thanks

Yea second look was an easy find, Got a good look at the mural with nobody around today. TFTC

Quick find nice to do it with nobody around and a good chance to see the mural.TFTC

should of read the clue instead of thinking i knew where it was lol-easy find once ya do -cheers jumboz

Stroke of good luck, when we spotted it peeking out at us. Took the Saving Little Hearts GC.

Not where I thought it would be, but where it really was meant to be!

Found with GuanoGerbil & 49er princess. OmaGosh, over and out...

Found with GuanoGerbil & OmaGosh. Thanks for the fun!

Found with a hunt, 5am, spent to much time with transformer but at least it wasn't iced up! +GC Cheers Muzy Man! (used 2nd set of co-ords)

easy find, with the up-dated co-ords

Found on the 2nd attempt TFTC and artwork

Found using alternate co-ords. Tftc

psychrn's coord's were bang on, suggest the cache be adjusted to these.
Perhaps the nearby transformer was effecting readings....? It was effecting our GPS

TFTC

Our mission today = wipe the Morrinsville map clean of caches
This was #2

Found with Skweak Jillopy and Return2nai

Was marvellous after we found it!
Found with Geo-Goober & jillopy&return2nai
TFTC

Found today - hard spot to look inconspicuous! Liked the number plate on the nearby vehicle!!! Yep, Psychrn's coord's were more accurate.

Arrived at Gz to find the cache in the hands of head job . Location about 10 Mtrs out. Posted my version
37 39 690 175 31 076
Well done on your 1st ftf
Shortly afterwards the cache owner came and checked in as well.
Nice to meet you

Noticed that this cache had'nt been found so detoured there on way to Auckland. Coordinates seemed to be out and at one stage had me standing in the middle of the road. We widened the search and eventually Junior Headjob came up with the cache just as Psychrn pulled up on his trusty stead. We were pretty wrapped as this was our first FTF.

Couldn't figure out where this was, listed co-ordinates were out in the middle of the road!! Thanks for the corrections Psychrn, I'm pretty sure I can find it next time.

May as well put my log in (sorry log it under wrong date)

On the way to Thames stopped for alook but failed.

Went and checked it this morning, it is still where I put it a week ago. Here is another clue.....Cornered on the inside.
Should be able to glimpse the container as it is bright blue.

I was here well over 30 mins.
If it is where I think it is it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack!!
But it could be just me?
On my way home I got a call from another cacher who also couldn't find it.
Given it's difficulty rating I suggest owner double check the co ords & the cache if it's still there.
