3 attempts and still nope. I even armed myself today with a digging stick. When people say left/right, I never know which way theyre facing. I wont give up! But this one is doing my head in feel free to message me and put me out of my misery if you so choose ;D

Took a bit of hunting but got there. Tried to be discreet with busy road.TFTC.

Omg I remember the brick wall when we first moved into the area and lamented the loss of a beautiful big property. I felt like we were hunting for some lost archeological relic but the bricks are there without too much effort.finding the appropriate brick was another story. Eventually RuthHide found the cache a little bit away from where we were looking and exiting the bush on to a very busy road, it was clear where the driveway used to beoh well.I wish the Roman numeral 4 helped but it really was a fight with vines and mosquitoes and a very tired puppy.

This cache, not too far from home, has been an elusive little bugger. Have attempted it on numerous occasions but its a somewhat challenging overgrown spot thats a bit tricky to be discreet to enter into from the busy road. Decided to wait until Larphs and her dog were free to join in the fun, a dog being the perfect decoy for scrambling around the weedy area. After searching in one area we finally worked out where we needed to be (duh!!)and hey presto, I finally found it. At last! Very happy to finally tick this one off. Thanks.

11-May-22
Walked down in the dark with the geohound. Had a little chuckle at the hint. Found the cache fairly quickly. Wasn't laughing when I realised I didn't have enough hands to hold dog lead and phone and open cache and get the log out and get a pen from my bag without dropping the car keys. But I managed in the end. Then scared the living daylights out of a Muggle wearing headphones as I fell back to the footpath.
 
06-May-22
this series of caches is cool, looking forward to finding more next time!
 
09-Apr-22
Good question! Nice quick find with the specific hint. As we got back to the car we were asked if we had found the geocache - yes! We didn't realise we were being watched. Nice to meet you Rhodzrunner and thanks for placing the cache for us to find # 18,352
 
09-Apr-22
A nice quick find here thanks to the hint, as we returned to the car the CO put her head over the fence and asked if we had found it. Nice to meet you briefly Rhodzrunner. Thanks for placing and keeping an eye on the cache

Walked right past it but that makes total sense. Loved the secretive and quirky nature of this. An fp from me. Tftc

Great cache. Loved the secret adventure of it

Had to watch out for the spiders but we got there in the end.
 
30-Dec-21
What an odd driveway.
Good clues. Thanks
 
24-Oct-21
Parked nearby & made the find. Our last for the day. Dropped off a TB. TFTC
 
15-Apr-21
Trying to make up time and found myself heading up the hill towards the main road and not far from this cache. Parked just back the way and walked to GZ, unseen by nearby bus-stop waiter. Soon had the nice sized cache in hand and added details and replaced same. Interesting place, I wonder where the previous occupiers went, and their home?

Late logging due to having been away.
I have a couple of things to get done today before we head off for a few days in the Bay of Plenty. I have an appointment at school's out/work's out o clock over in Albany and am working out of Devonport again today. I also have a so-called 5-day which I want to improve to a 10+ day, if possible. I'd identified the Tuff Crater as being 'on my way' and it has 5 caches around that I could park and do a part of the circuit. Alas, I had 2 DNFs on that attempt, but 3 finds, and so ended up finding two other caches to appease the Statistic gods.
 
05-Apr-21
What a strange driveway, definitely once would have gone somewhere, but now is just overgrown!

Thanks for the cache in this strange place!
 
21-Mar-21
Tried to grab this one a few times but always a lot of traffic. I don’t understand the clue but it is an easy find if you’re looking in the right place!
 
25-Sep-20
What a good find!! Not far ️
 
15-Aug-20
Found, easy spot. Good find.
 
18-Jul-20
Very well camoed! Not too challenging but a bit of digging was required to get this one! Didnt bring a pen to sign so took a photo! TFTC
 
11-Apr-20
Thanks! Great little story and a good treasure!
 
03-Apr-20
A bit of digging and we found it.
 
25-Mar-20
Another quick find today, clever hiding location
 
22-Mar-20
Always thought it was in the nearby structure. Log book bit damp. TFTC
 
09-Feb-20
First search in 8 years, found where expected. Used a big stick.
 
09-Feb-20
First search for me! Found where the riddle says it is, just needed a bit of digging.
 
27-Jan-20
Did not find this cache sadly
Was a really cool place and learned a lot of stuff. We look around for half an hour roughly but didn’t find much... then we read on the reviews that it was covered up by lawn clippings as we had thought. If you find the cache please move it to somewhere actually findable.

Wondered what this was about. What a strange phenomenon! Thanks for the cache. All good, log still damp.
 
18-Aug-19
The log book is a little wet. Fun camo.
This was my second atempt to find.

Nice find with team BDM. Clever hide, tftc
 
13-Jul-19
Found on a evening hunt with brand0n and darkangel. I had found this one on a previous occasion many years ago in it's original location, but neither of the others had been here, so we decided that we would have a go at It with my prior knowledge. Unsurprisingly I found this one (in its new location) - quite a large container. We retrieved the trackable and he'll join us for the rest of the night!

Current score:
Mikefnz: 4 !
Brand0n: 3
Darkangel: 3
 
05-May-19
Thanks 4 the well hidden cache and ylkcirp situation
 
24-Feb-19
So many places it could have been! Missed it on my first sweep but came back to the spot after reading some comments. Tftc Smile. Thankful there was a pencil in there as I forgot to take a pen with me on my evening stroll.
 
16-Feb-19
Today is a anniversary day for the H household and determined to keep a speed streak going this was the target cache for the day. Seemed like more of a D1.5 and certainly T 1.5 with the grass clippings on top of cache...who cares daily cache sorted and can move on to some festivities later today. Thanks for a small but with all micros around this seems like a large cache.
TFTC

Great to discover a nice big container. With the yellow lid it could almost have been a massive Vegemite container in a prior life. Thanks.
 
27-Dec-18
Great find! The kids loved looking for this one
 
25-Nov-18
That is 2,000 up for us; after a couple of dnf or dna on 1,999. Thanks for hiding
 
21-Jul-18
A bit overgrown around here but was a pretty quick one with the help of the hint. Tftc Smile
 
21-Jul-18
Once we figured out what we were looking at, it was a rather quick find. Thanks!
 
17-Jul-18
Am sure it’s there.. just found it a bit weird lurking through the bushes by the house.
 
09-Jun-18
Good hiding

, Fun find!
 
27-May-18
We had done a few geocaches and made good time of it so decided to push on and bump the numbers up. There was a bit of drizzle as we came to do this one but as we were interested to see what had happened here we braved the damp and out of the car we popped.

At GZ we got momentarily got distracted by a PVC pipe not actually at GZ really but once we realised that was either garbage or put there for some other reason we switched to the right spot and the cache was readily forthcoming. Good size here and three trackables. These have been sitting here for three weeks so will move along and sprinkle out in caches on the way. Truth be told hardest thing here was getting the logbook out of that stiff plastic bag it was in - keep it dry so shouldn't complain.

All good here and thanks for the cache.
 
05-May-18
Couldn't quite get the hint, but cache was found easily though. Amazing to see such a driveway like this. Don't blame the dude for shifting it... try backing out on this main road at peak hour....
 
11-Apr-18
Came over this way this morning to grab this one to continue my daily streak (Day #463) and while the GZ is a disturbing mess, it was a quick find. The KL Tower TB is missing but I dropped 3 more TB's anyway. TFTC
 
05-Apr-18
Didn't find it ;(
 
18-Mar-18
Found it during nice walk in the area on quiet Sunday afternoon. TFTC
 
08-Mar-18
Been meaning to find this one every time I drive past and finally stopped by. Quickly found the nice large cache. The camo is a bit wet but the inside is nice and dry. Just ignored the traffic while I checked the goodies and signed the cache. TFTC Smile
 
16-Feb-18
#343. Needed a quick find with the time I had to spare and this fitted the bill perfectly. Glad to see this one back. Nice camo. TFTC.
 
06-Feb-18
Quick find.
 
01-Jan-18
Last geocache for today I think. The rain is just getting worse and worse. Really easy find here and good size and condition. Only hard part is signing the log on such a main road without people staring (:
 
12-Nov-17
In the area with Jag50 and Aiden29. I took the hard way to GZ while Mrs Jag took the easy way and came up with the goods
 
12-Nov-17
Was in the area with Merlot58 and Aiden29. They took the hard way to GZ, whilst Mrs Jag50 took an easier approach and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
 
12-Nov-17
Out with Jag50 and Merlot58. Merlot and I took the hard way to GZ, while Mrs Jag took the easy way. It was nice to return and turn this into a smile.

Out this morning caching with yorkshirekiwi83 in the area. Yorkshirekiwi83 had already found this one, so she waited up while we made the quick grab here. Thanks for the hide.

Many thanks for replacing this cache. It makes it much easier to find when it is actually there. Wink Left: International Geocaching Day 2016 Tag. TFTC.

Impressively packaged log book. Easy find on a very busy road. Yet easy to be discreet on finding too.

Visited this again with no luck. Even with a previous finder saying that it has gone. CO hasn't been online in over 6 months.
 
04-Oct-16
Hi, I live near this cache and had already found it. It was my first find. I check on it regularly to see if there is any cool stuff and I checked today. I don't think it is there. So just double check.
 
24-Sep-16
I didn't see anything around here. Can the CO please check?
