Had cache loaded on GPSr and didn't know it had been archived. Found Ok and log is perfectly dry but full. Had to still log it and hope it still counts as trying to find at least one cache a day for a year. TFTC

Archived

Good one! Unfortunately wet so didn't log in. Amazing playground that we all had fun on! TFTH

Almost gave up, we're looking at wedges everywhere. Bit of a 'd uh' moment when finally got it. Thanks.

Tricky little one

Another one for Wasa and Mig. This is one time you don't follow the GPS but still fun to find.

The log is full. Needs a new log piece in it please

Another for wasa wedge is the clue ignore the gps final piont. Thanks had to wait for the plumbers to leave.

Evil Nasty Hide. The GPS kept on saying that it was in the middle of the intersection. Nearly got the concrete cutter out with Fuzzyfriut when Fire Man_sam found it.

Was tempted to go ask the concrete cutters to come help us dig up the middle of the road where all three of our GPSr were telling us to look.

This is an evil little hide. Easy find once you got down and started really looking

FOund it in the first spot I checked. The mojo was really working in overdrive today on my unfounds out west clean up run this afternoon. Coords a little bit off here, but in a good direction, in that it narrows down where to look first. The logsheet is full, but it wouldn't be if some people only took up one box and didn't write their name across multiple boxes. I found a half a box gap to write FMZ in. TFTC!!!

Concrete layers directly across the road so gave this one a miss today,

TFTC

Found but logged as needs maintenance.. didn't realise it wouldn't log as a find!

Found easily although text description was slightly misleading saying it was a micro. Log book full due to people not just writing initials so unable to log our find.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Headed out for another afternoon of caching, making the most of the lovely Easter weather.

Quick find, although a very busy area, a market down the road. Looks like this is going to be a nice housing area. Met another cacher just as we had signed the log (which was v.full just found space for initials).

Found with a little help from other cachers.
Log full and no space to sign. TFTC.

Second attempt at this one with Mrs Alligator (after having brunch at Catalina Cafe) who swooped on this one easily. Log book is full. TFTC

#980: What ARE Those Things Anyway?


TikvaNZ and I made our way to this one as the light was fading on our long day. Tried sitting on several objects to find the prize, and was finally able to make the grab. A worker nearby was too busy painting a house to notice us, and all is in good shape.


SL/TFTC!

#1527 @1955
With a few hours of daylight left after completing the Dalmations and Piggies (109 caches) 8ManAfter and I continued to cache as we headed to the CBD. This find made it 130 for the day so far. A trick hide found by 8ManAfter. TFTC

Great find,small things are good to find, great new community around here.

In the area this afternoon, enjoyed looking around, this will be a great place when finished. Own little community! We had to come back to this one at first to many muggles and a couple kept watching so off we went to look more around the wharf. On our way back had this in the hand soon after.

You might want to look at log sheet as full, I would of changed but did not have that particular size on me. Must get more organised. So was unable to put ink to paper!
Thanks for the adventure. TFTC!

at 1.30 pm intersting area - great clue but cache was damp inside and paper was full

We were staying not far from here so decided to take the kids on a walk. Was very impressed with the playground near this cache. TFTC!

Found this cache after a bit of a hunt. A VERY cool playground near by. Will be visiting again tomorrow! Log full. TFTC!

not found..

Nice and quiet, late night find. TFTC

Nice area and nice hide this one. Log sheet was full, but manage to leave my mark on it

TFTC Kevs Team

Got it with snakelion. Nice hide

3.20pm. Back from an enjoyable walk around the point. Found quickly which was good as its a little out in the open in the vicinity of this cache. A very small cache for such a large new park!

BTW the log is full.

The Log is full and wet and needs some maintenance.

A nice day to explore a new area. GZ and the nearby park were quiet except for a few workmen at the buiding site. However the cafe across the road was very popular on this pleasant morning.

The LB is full. TFTC

The Logbook is full.

Was in the area today and forgot that I hadn't logged this cache.
Nice area.

gps had me standing in the middle of the new intersection -not near the wedges but seems every one else has got it so might have to re try

Good hide. Very small but was wet

This was an exciting find! Thanks so much.

Out with the niece.

Found with Crystal Fairy during an afternoon's caching in the area. Signed log, TFTC.

Found with agcnz on our weekend caching spree. Thanks for the cache.

ON a roll today. I think it should be there! and it is. t4tc

Quick find in the dark. Thanks

Out at a Orienteering event and was nicely surprised when they offered a map of nearby caches as the checkpoints so grabbed this one after my proper race. gets me super close to the magic million miles of caching and will probably hit the milestone on my next trip. TFTC

Visited as part of AOC OY2 event, with thanks to Selwyn Parker for the map. Man, this cache was miniscule !

Wow - just about the smallest Ive ever seen.
Several of us out here today despite the weather.
Found in during our second orienteer of the year series event and the first time Hobsonville used for the sport in over 40 years!
TFTC!

Tftc found with agogo during geo o

Spot on co ords quick find

Nice day out, having brunch at a local cafe. and notice a few caces close by..tftc

Out having brunch with the family down at Catalina, and thought we'd take the parents out for some geocaches. A nice little one to start them off... TFTC.

At last found this on my 4th attempt. First 3 tries GPSr was consistently indicating I should dig up the tar seal at a road intersection, so broadened my search too far and missed the obvious. Was in the area till just after dark today and opted not to use the GPS. In the dark I felt less conspicuous groping about in public. Just went straight to right feature and felt around and there it was. A nifty hide. Thanks for the treasure hunt. Have been mapping Hobsonville Point for a new orienteeering map.

Quick early morning find TFTC

Busy spot here; realised on the way out that there was a farmer's market further up the road.

Parked by your cache while driving the Team Y-Cacho's Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission

Many thanks for your cache, plan to be back soon with Butterfly_Lady

Gotcha! One of 262 finds on 24 hour Auckland cache raid by Team Y-Cacho's. TFTC

One of 262 finds with Team Y-Cacho's during our 24 hour Auckland cache raid epic.

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.

Many thanks

Out this way on a caching spree. GPS had me way off target on this one. So a quick check of the hint resulted in a rather rapid find thereafter. Love these really tiny containers. TFTC.

This cache was OK. My mistake was with another. Unarchiving this one to remedy the mistake made when remedying the original mistake!!

These little caches are evil!!! Evil I tell you =P thanks for the excrutiatingly long hunt!! Took much longer than it should have, since my knee hurt too much to let me get down and look

Good place for a geocache- Interesting development around here- will be interesting to see in 5 years....

Put us down for a DNF on this one.

Enabled

Out for the day with Zork

Found quickly, I'm not sure why there are 2 of them.

Disabled due to moning. I can be bothered maintaining or putting out caches that attract this kind of logs any more.

Just like the other one, only this time you have to lurk near a playground waiting for the gap in the traffic.

TFTC

Took quite a while to spot this one! SL TFTC

Like the kids playground across the road.

Cheers for the cache.

Had a quick look but the coords had me in the middle of the road.
Not to much time today.

Two for the price of one here, rather surprised to find another so close. A quick find thanks to the good co-ords.

12:39 GPSr was a little out for me here but I soon nailed this nano. Now off the the nearby Glyn cache, TFTC

#341

Another great day of caching fun with the Storeytellas. We parked up at Hobsonville Point then unloaded the bikes and took to two wheels.

Spot on coords meant a quick find despite the sneaky nano size of the hide!

TFTC

Pastamakers phoned to see if we wanted to go bike riding on the warm sunny day and we maybe able to find a couple of caches on the way. Nine caches later and we have had a great ride. Great little cache, nice easy find.

GPS showed GZ as miles away so had to resort to a methodical search, quickly found after that. TFTC

#599 Heading out west for another purpose today, but adding some caches along the way. Had to come back to this one, too busy around here this morning to make a search. Located after a while this evening. SL. TFTC.

went back again today and found the little bug.

Good grief, another development. Going to be all very built up around here in the future. Interesting gardens etc. TFTC

Last of the morning, easy find while the kids have a played @ the wet park. Very kol park indeed have a feeling we will be returning here ALOT
T4TC

nah gps all over the place gz was in the middle of the road and wedges everywhere.
What a shame whats been done here hobbie was my learn to fly airfield.

Number ten of ten caches on the 10th of the 10th 2010

Thanks for a nice little (really little) cache. Thats my goal for the day achieved

Wow this brings a whole new meaning to the word micro! nice hide, and nice find by evilno9. TFTC

Was amazed at the development out here-tftc

Busy day for this one by the looks of it. GPS signal seemed to be all over the place for some reason but we managed to figure it out without too many dramas. Nice cafe just down the road too! TFTC

Fourth person to visit this one today. Caught up with Glyn down the road. TFTC.

Lovely place to come to. Took a lot longer to sign log than find cache tho.

Surprised myself with how quickly I found this one!
The kidees played for ages in the VERY COOL park.
We live rather close by & didn't even realize this play ground was here - No doubt we will now be dragged back to play on a regular basis!
Thanks for the cache.

Nice and straight forward and a great place for a cache. Thanks

Nice.

TFTC

This is looks like it will be a great subdivision once completed. Quickly found the cache in the first place I looked (love it when it works out like that). TFTC
