Found the missing log book. It had been signed by two previous cachers, but for some reason, it's now in Geocaching up a tree (Wellington) (GC44JRT). Found it in this other cache. Left it there for retrieval by the CO.
Pishing down with rain and had Mexican standoff with young kids smoking in their vehicle. Eventually moved off, and a simple grab. TFTC
Quick find in between appointments this morning. Picked up TB. Cache a little damp inside, but log dry. Lovely spot. TFTC
been over this hill many times to my sister's place, never stopped at the top before! TFTC
Found after waiting for some cars to go past before logging and replacing

Managed to work out the hint, (I am a dog owner too), then proceeded to search in completely the wrong place which was buried in *^#&*@+*$ blackberry. When I finally came to my senses and wiped away the blood from my legs, I found the cache in a completely logical place - Doh! Log book was not wet but container needs a bit of attention. Was also nice to find some interesting swappables and not the usual junk. I swapped these for some items I have in my kit, which I having been saving up to swap for equal items. TFTC.
Found it okay, but didn't really get the hint. Container has a hole in the lid and the log is quite damp. TFTC
Cache was a quick find as it was uncovered, think the covering had blown off, so left it covered with some nearby material (which looked like it could have been the original disguise).
Nice views back to Paraparaumu on our return.

#3193. Nice valley and good views from GZ. ALways good to find caches with good parking. TFTC.
Had been heading north in our motorhome but the predicted bad weather had us in retreat. Decided to stop here in the P'ram and cache the area until the rain came. Been curious about this road for a bit but had no reason to visit. That what its all about I guess. Nice easy find although hint is a head scratcher?
4.05pm. Second time for this one. Don't know how I missed it first time for that was the second place I looked! Just as well I tried again!
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
Found quickly. Cache getting a bit damp though. Carpark ruts a challenge! TFTC
Found on a sunny day out caching with Tramper Ted. Have never ventured up this road before - nice country views.
Quickly found in a fairly(but not the most) obvious place without needing to resort to the hint. This is probably just as well as now that I have read the hint it means nothing to me. 6th of 10 found while out for an afternoon of caching with Master Miester. TFTC
Not in the most obvious place but then found easily enough after rethinking about the hint. TFTC
Sat in the sun and waited for the log sheet to dry out while the boys played on the power pole that was on its side near the cache. TFTC!
It wasn't where I looked first, then the penny dropped about the hint and it was an instant find then. A tmann421 hide.... I should have known sooner
Nice spot to visit, then carried on up the road. The log sheet is a bit damp, seems to be condensation inside the container.

Nice quick find, The container had some water in it, but the log sheet was nice and dry in its bag, dried things out with a towel before moving on. SL TFTC
OK, this took me far too long! Turns out I hadn't looked in an ideal spot thoroughly enough.

2nd time around for this cache also, but found it today! We must be getting better!
#1503. Found after dark. Great view of the valley lights down below. TNLNSL. TFTC.
A quick find on the way back from an afternoon's caching expedition on the Coast. Wasn't sure quite what to make of the hint, but as soon as I saw the site and the possible hiding-places I knew what it meant. A bit of an unpleasant smell around one of the places where the cache might have been hidden, fortunately it was OK at GZ. Signed log, TFTC.
Found this cache with any issue, where would you hide a cache in the area I wonder, was in the area for work so a quick side detour was called for. Nice spot. TFTC TNLNSL (2098)
Found with Bkj97. While he was rummaging about in the rain we were muggled by our secretary from college. No danger and he was finally rewarded for his persistence. T4TCSL
Miserable day to cache with little blue hen but as we were coming back from Waikanae it seemed like it had to be done. Took a bit of rummaging but eventually got the dog to sit but rolling over was not accomplished. TFTCSL
With a little help from King the clue was quickly solved. A quick find in a quiet scenic spot.
