I will no longer be geocaching due to undisclosed reasons.

It was good fun while it lasted. Met a few great cachers along the way.

Thank you visiting my page.

Happy Hunting!!!!

Found earlier with The Pud, but wasn't a Geocach member at the time. Went back today. Judging by my gps, there might be a little migration. Log book needs attention. Cheers. Smile

GPSr didn't really take me to the right spot, but a bit of searching around with the clue got me there.

Thanks for the cache.

Finally determined which tree looked like the item in the clue.

Cheers for the cache.
 
23-Apr-11
Definitely looks like a snake tree when you find it

Nice walk through an area we didn't know about. Lots of little muggles playing soccer across the road. TFTC.

Fourth find on a short caching biking trip with my flatmate. Took us a while to find but we got there in end. As with many clues, it became clearer to us AFTER we'd found the spot Wink It's amazing how all trees can start looking like snakes after a while.
 
16-Mar-11
Took a little while for the GPS to settle under the trees.

Logbook is ripping due to being moist, needs replacing.

Found on day 3 of a 3 day Auckland cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. My 2nd attempt at this one. GPS a bit dodgy under the tree but used the hint and located the cache. Nice clean log too. TFTC, Biggles.

Cache container has been replaced by small V shot bottle with new log sheet. All good now. Thanks for the visits and update on maintenance.

Happy Caching

Found by the Powell family. Log book ziplock bag had not been closed so was very wet and unwritable. Needs new book and better waterproofing. TFTC

Powell family outing...TFTC
 
05-Mar-11
We had to wait because of being to early at the zoo's gates.

Very wet day and the cache was wet as well.

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

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.

29-Jan-11
Like the previous cachers, I scratched around for a while before finding the cache Big Grin. Log a bit damp with the rain overnight. TFTC
 
25-Jan-11
Very nice hide. Description and hint really help. TFTC
 
21-Jan-11
Paddled over from a friends house at Pt chev. Tide very high before the coming storm.
 
21-Jan-11
I scratched around for ages before finally reading the cache page and seeing the extra hint there. Plain sailing after that. TFTC
 
19-Jan-11
Once Mr EU was on the GPS it was a fast find. TFTC
 
14-Jan-11
An Auckland reserve we haven't explored before. Thanks for bringing us here. NINO TFTC
 
11-Jan-11
My able assistant spotted the snake. Looks like quite a popular spot for couples going by the debris scattered amongst the trees. Thanks for this cache.
 
11-Jan-11
Quickly spotted the posible hiding spot.
TFTC
 
09-Jan-11
No time to rest at the reef as we had a cache to find. Soon spotted the snake and then the cache T4TC.
 
06-Jan-11
Found after some searching, even after GPS died. Quite a few in the area that could've potentially been the hint but great hide. TFTC.
 
01-Jan-11
Found after quite some minutes of searching - so many trees looking rather 'similar' here
Saw one muggle speeding past along walkway on bicycle but they didnt notiice me
Clever hide and tftc!
 
28-Dec-10
Nice little track, even on a rainy Auckland day. Bev and I had a pleasant little walk to find this one and one just over the road.
 
27-Dec-10
Didn't find it.... although did have an impatient 6 year old with us. Was confusing with lots of rubbish and other cache possibilities in the area.
 
24-Dec-10
I thought a few trees looked like snakes sitting up but that was probably more out of frustration. Found the right one after about 5 minutes. TFTC
 
24-Dec-10
Many a discussions about what a snake might look like... found then decided to walk back through the meadow so we could look for a snake in the grass. (Left a bright orange spoon I found in Egypt as somewhat desert related.)

Had to scratch around for this one until I came across the "snake". GPS not good under those trees. TFTC

Quick and easy lunchtime find. Thanks.

Dropped in on the way home from Hobsonville and searched around without joy for a while until I went back and read the description and it all made sense. Funny how that works... Nicely done for hide number 1 Smile TFTC
 
27-Nov-10
I figured that seen this one was a mere 860 meters from home I would have plenty of time to amble down and try out the android phone. I guess I ambled a bit slow as FMZ caught up on the trail in for a quick joint FTF. TFTC.

Shot over to muggle stu4, already searching for gz. Didnt take too long to spot. Nice area, joint FTF Big Grin TFTC!!! Big Grin
