Was missing lid and log, have let cache owner know.Found over the weekend while parked across the road for a Pie. A nice and easy find. All good here. Thanks
Tried opening the wrong end at first. Reluctantly tried the other end. Let’s not mention the slaters. Whew there’s the cache. Excellent camo. Tftc
On a day mission caching with B4Dawn.
Nice quick find here and we were on our way.
Thanks for the cache.

On a caching mission this morning with Keylev. I had mentioned that I wanted to hit 100 caches this week. Managed to get up to 50 so today was going to be the big one!
Was a quick find here. Thanks!

Classic G2 camo. Hardest part was walking up the hill in the hot sun and recognising the park. Very overgrown tftc
Bravo. Very hidden and clever cache.
We managed to avoid getting shocked!!

Was passing real close to this turn-off the main road so headed down and parked. Back up to the GZ and soon spotted the host, how to get th3e log? Ah, that way. Cheers G_2, just one more then home.
A dash out to Torbay to try and beat the tide to the scramble Rock Isle cache (I didn't) meant an early start to the day and out of the house before 0700. I soon got notice that I had some work to do later so cut my trip short with just a couple of cache finds and back onto it soon enough. The weather held off log enough for me not to get wet either, which was nice.
In line with the NZ Geocache Reviewers guidance on what Covid Level 3, Part 1 looks like, geocaching IS permitted, but there are not to be any events or any new listings. It seems the NZ Covid website has failed to maintain pace with Lockdown level amendments and changes and is still lumping Geocaching in with Orienteering and other gathering type activities.

Zork might have got zapped but we didn't, even in the dark it was a quick and easy find. Apart from the slug!
Nice easy find! Lots of electrical stuff around here but didnt need to play with it since I found it very quickly. TFTC! (I didnt sign log because of covid but I took a photo of the log)
Found with majaby
Huge rock formation
Great Cache in well hidden position
Well done

We tried to search a few caches in the twilight. since daylight savings has ended caching after work is a hasty affair. This one was spotted earlier today around 3:30pm when students pass by every two seconds so a good location to return to after hours. Thanks f the cache!
A nice quick park and grab here although it took a bit to figure out how to get to the log haha!! Log signed b&p. Find number 4343.
Thanks for the cache G-2.

Was in the area this morning and this was the last one before heading off to work. Nice quick find but nicely camo'd. TFTC
Joined up with Merlot58 and Aiden29 for an afternoon cache hunt on the Shore. We spotted this cleverly camo'd cache on our approach. TFTC
Zork may have been zapped but Aiden29, Jag50 and I weren't. W spotted the camo on approach and made quick work of getting in to sign the log
Out with Merlot58 and Jag50. A very quick find here, as I spotted the likely hiding spot on approach.
Our guide leader wanted to do this but we kept telling her it was on private property but she said we're doing it anyway.Glad we did! I thought it was pretty easy t find and it was in a cool spot. TFTC
Another fabulous G-2 cache here today . . . . . they never fail to sometimes puzzle me but mostly I am in awe of all the work that goes into these hides . . . . . I had a suspicion when we approached GZ and I was right (whoop whoop) . . . . . the girls with me today thought this was BRILLIANT . . . . . . thanks for all the effort gone into all the caches around and about
FITW FMZ
Yet another quick find for us tonight. We must get back to the car before we freeze, that's our motto tonight. tftc.

I like instant finds. Maybe the cold is making it more urgent to find and get back in the warm car. TFTC and thanks zork
I was very fortunate to have Nic aka Riser5 to help me when I was a newbie geocacher. Now your clever hides and camo are inspiring us all. I loved the cache title and thought this was a fantastic hide while still being a quick find. Thanks G-2
This GC is really cleverly hidden but really quick find, With a very smart hiding place.
Spotted the camo on approach to GZ gotta love how busy it got once i had cache in hand lucky i had already extracted the small container
I see this cache has been going awhile! I came here with heaps of afternoon traffic, but no problem though, I was hiding in the trees and as soon as it was clear I bounced out, grabbed the cache, took it behind the trees, signed it, bounced back when it was clear again then on my merry way - but not before having a feed at the local bakery across the main road.
Found. Thanks to the halfwit who put a condom in the cache (still wrapped). Family activity right?
I had a few spare minutes up my sleeve so I brought up the map to c what was in the area.TFTC
Out for a night caching adventure with the gadget team. What doesn't fit here - ah yes there it is.
Note to owner that the log is now full we used the last space.

Kiwiscot & Kiwi heading home after a school outing at nearby Murrays Bay. Fantastic day out on the water. Kiwiscot did not give Kiwi a chance a chance at finding this. Once at GZ she immediately had her hands on the hide. Nice work on the camo. TFTC
Tftc. Cool camo

I tested the hide, but without enough force. After making a circle, I returned and figured it out. When will I get G-2 hides on the first attempt? TFTC,
This was an introduction to geocaching for two of my muggel friends and their dogs. Mr Muggel found this one.
Totally thought it was part of the power line! But it was easy to spot once you realise that was the geocache 
Our first cache of the day, Alice Lunar stopped to grab a bottle of water. We noticed there was a cache not to far away so off we went. Found the cache nice and quick, took it a short distance away to sign. A simple but clever camo. Had to watch out for the nearby muggle working on the telephone wiring. TFTC #311
Waiting for Burger King and thought we would take a detour while our fries were cooking. No pen so didn't sign the log. Clever hide, quick find thanks to spot on GPS coordinates. TFTC.
Was driving by on a quest day so stopped to find
Didn't have a pen tho, nice hide
