Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.
Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.
Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Looks like good time for this hide is a history now as camo is in bits. Still nice hide. Good to see original logbook in such a good shape. TFTC
We initially looked in slightly the wrong spot and almost became the victims of the barbed wire fence but the cache was soon spotted nearby.
This needs maintenance as the camo (which appears to have been very nicely done originally) has completely crumbled into pieces. The container is now just randomly buried under pieces of what once protected it.
Nevertheless, a nice spot and hide. We enjoyed exploring this area which we would never have discovered had it not been for Geocaching. Thanks kayaknkiwi.

Sinautus and I dodged the Popo for a great find !! Took trophy and will replace in another cache in the next one.
Note that log book is full thanks

After doing sport I still had some time so I decided to grab some easy Caches.
Found it after a while. Camo is in very bad shape, see picture attached.
Thanks for hiding!

Found it and was hidden but the “Camo” is falling apart. Tried to hide as best we could. Fun hunt and walk! Thanks!
Collected a few more of the caches today in this area and since we didnt find this one last time thought we should give it another go.managed to find this one easy enough today think the gardner must of put us off last time.
Found it lying out in the open today. Sorry to report the great camo was broken into pieces. Fortunately the container and log book are ok. Tried to hide as best we could. Needs urgent attention. Thanks for your efforts with this well favourited cache Kayaknkiwi.
Definitely no longer attached to camo. A nice quick find here with darthcacher1 and purply.
Camouflage broken needs repair. Did my best to hide. Thanks from Howard and Kath Manchester UK
Heading down to the end to investigate the beach. Parked right by GZ and jumped out to locate. I came in from one side and spotted the cache on approach, as the natural camo is demolished. The log book is also full, but I managed to find a spot to sign.
Parked right next to it for a quick easy find . Log wás full so hav added some paper for a log tftcBatgirl5 15 October 2017
Stopped off here on way back from finding 2 other caches near Sulphur Beach Reserve. This road is being looked at as an option for SeaPath. Found the cache in the first place I looked. Camo is falling apart now, but not a surprise after being here for so long! Good condition but never seen such a full log book! Took Froggie TB. Didn't see Constable TB. TFTC
Left a travel bug here. Easy find, cache is in good condition. Cool road that takes you under the harbour bridge and around. Tftc!
Just want to say thanks to all have enjoyed this cache. I have been away for awhile with surgeries and rehab from the surgeries. Glad it's all OK. Thanks
Another evening taking geowife for a driving lesson, today a bit of practise on the motorway so over we came. Bit of a challenge for a new driver in the dark down this narrow road - I lived in Northcote Point for a while a few years ago and never came down here, so enjoyed coming to see this part of the point. Cars from the motorway are certainly very close.
Geowife pointed this one out to me - the breeze was up and I think the low foliage dislodged the lid which somewhat spoiled the effect but all good and contents safe and sound. Signed the log and then back into the night. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Having done the caches on the other side of the motorway I walked from my parking spot to look for this cache. I initially looked in totally the wrong place but after approaching again from a different angle I quickly spotted the hide. The top has come apart but still sits in place well enough to hide the cache.
Walking a circuit from the nearby tunnel, along the shore past the sheds, under the bridge, and back along the road to the car. Got to GZ, and the GPS bounced around a bit, but with the help of the hint, was able to narrow down the hide
Love the cache, can see why it had received so many favourite points
The Pohutakawa trees look impressive, a reminder that this used to be the foreshore, before the motorway was plonked out in front. Thanks for the hide, and bringing us here!

#254. Now that's a very cool cache! We took the kids on an outing. We grabbed drinks through a drive thru and walked over the pedestrian overbridge, then walked the tunnel under the motorway, around under the bridge and on to this cache. An earlier finder's comments helped us narrow down the search. Love the cache. Earns an FP for the construction. TFTC.
Out doing a bit of caching with Mr NewlynFam today, collecting GIO-licence requirements. We had finished finding the caches that we needed to, and were heading back towards the motorway, when we decided at the last minute to detour here, as it was a spot neither of us had been before, and we thought it would be interesting to see what the bridge looked like from the other side.
Drove down this little road because Mr NewlynFam wanted to check out the boat ramp area.... I was happy with this decision, of course, because there was a cache down here
Mr NewlynFam stopped the car right next to the GZ in order to let me ot, then parked a few metres further on in a safer spot. Unforutunately, as I jumped out of the car, I jumped straight into dog poo I have a very keen sense of smell, so I noticed this right away, and so spent the next few minutes trying to scrape dog poo off my shoe on the grass, concrete, and whatever I could wipe my shoe on (don't worry, I was far enough away from GZ at this point!)
Having done that as well as I could, I then set about finding the cache. Walked right past it twice before spying something and thinking "hmmmmm, wonder if that's it?"
Well, it sure was, and being as it was a very cool cache container, I was glad to claim the smiley. Love containers like these and have been meaning to make one for a while now!
Log signed, and lid replaced, I returned to my car, stopping to bury my still-stinky shoes in the boot before hopping back into the front seat and heading for the boat ramp.
Thanks for the cool cache, kayaknkiwi!
P.S. The TB listed as in this cache is not there, and was in fact last spotted in Chch at the beginning of the year. The TB owner is a friend of mine, so I will message him.

Nice hide, Miss Three and I walked right past it initially, and had to come back for another search. Thanks!
Came here after shopping nearby at Made in Mexico. Cool hide. Had me puzzled for a bit. TFTC.
I had fun navigating to the location, but was disappointed to see a worker doing some trimming and wood chipping very close to where I needed to go. After moving to the other side, I saw that I could approach without being seen, as the foliage was blocking. Made a stealthy removal and went elsewhere to sign. Very nice camouflage! Thanks for the hide!
Found! It eluded me before because my phone kept taking me too far south. I wasn't stumped this time. Tftc
Discovering the short loop walk along this road, under the bridge and through the tunnel. Worth carrying on down the road for views of the city and novel way of seeing the bridge. Love this cache, co-ords took me right to the spot. Thanks for your effort with this one
Absolutly loved this cache loved the camo started looking too far south got their in the end
As we approached we thought we might have to bide our time while two lovebirds decided what hey were going to do but they had obviously decided we were interrupting their canoodling so wandered off. Quick find.
I had been watching this cache for some time now as it contained a TB needed for another cache... so had some time free today and decided to try and locate this cache.
Found a suitable parking spot and searched GZ (which was a little larger than I had hopped for using a smart phone) but soon noticed something that needed more investigation... BINGO... the cache.... paperwork sorted, now for the TB needed....WHAT!!! it's not in the cache...FLIP! as the CO of the TB would say... managed to spot the likely visitors whom might have taken it so will endeavor to make contact to correct the issue... never mind another smiley and a nice camo job on the cache.
TFTC.

An interesting spot! The road really does go to nowhere. Great camo and had us looking around for a bit. TFTC
Searching in the dark didnt take too long to find. Nice cache. On a 3 day road trip from Hawkes bay to Auckland and back. Great few days to grab a number of caches. Tftc
Wow, the muggles really do come from both directions, regularly, at speed, even well after dark! Tried in a few places, testing out the new iPhone app. Didn't get any results and for my own safety headed back to the car. Almost there I though, what if I just poke my head in there. Spotted what could have been a Glyn special straight away and sure enough, a very nicely constructed camo was discovered and its contents duly logged. Nice to see you earlier too! Thanks!
Awesome hid... Miss Seven found it by mistake... Great thought into that for the hide.
Wow, that's a clever cache, such a work to do it! Don't be shy and look everywhere around the street. TFTC
TFTC. After a disappointing caching day yesterday when I headed south of the city I decided on a different approach today - it was not about the numbers, but about the quality. Really and truely that is what I decided. So ran a search for local caches with min of 8 favs and made them my targets.
I had so much fun, each one was worthy and I went to some beautiful spots as an added bonus.
I have tried to find the road to get to this cache on a previous visit to Auckland. This time I had the aid of a GSP and it was so much easier. What a neat road and cache. After I had found the cache I followed the road under the bridge and had a pleasant picnic.
A fav point from me.
Thanks kayaknkiwi for placing this fun cache.

Found it (again) this time with miss five in tow. Super excited to locate the cache.
Nice job on the camo. 5 muggles kids came by as I was crouched in the bush but I had some good natural cover. They probably were wondering why the empty car was sitting nearby
Very easy find at GZ. Surprised with its amazing natural appeal. Dropped a TB. TFTC
