Sign of the times 4 (Bay of Plenty) Judea, North Island, New Zealand

As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Regards,

Needs to be archived. As it has been disabled for a very long time.

The cache has been missing/disabled for over 4 months ; archiving to be considered?

Went and checked this one out over the weekend and they have put a new footpath through the middle of GZ.
They have moved the sign but the cache is gone.
I will make another cache and update the location as soon as I can.

Drove past this today - they are digging up around here and the sign has gone.

Quick find on day 2 of 31 days challenge. Was not going to go for this one today but was talking to my 6 year old nephew last night about having to set my alarm early to be able to get geocaches before work - I got a phone call from him at 7.15am - he was ready to go!! Just as well he lives close to work so was a quick pick up and drop off of him also. TFTC

Nice easy find. Had to use ninja stealth mode as lots of people around.

Wow, what a busy place! Quick easy find as we have done other SOT caches, but have to be careful with so many people about. TFTC

managed to park just metres away from this one, nice and easy, tftc

Sunday is not a good time to get this as loads of ppl are around

TFTC! yippee found early morning with KiwiJedi, I had to ask for his help cause I'm too short to get this treasure will call here again

There were a lot of muggles around,so quickly got the cache sighed the log and put it back asap.TFTC

Another cache under the belt today loving the SOT caches, it's amazing what is out there in plan view of people. Arabelle found this but needed my help, bit of a challenge for short people TFTC really enjoyed watching Arabelle trying to retrieve this one.

Found just before dinner. Easy find thanks, Flippaduck. Getting quite emotional at this end... running out of SOT caches :'( Thanks again for the work you pot into SOT

Have often stopped here for lunch while working in the area. Today managed a quick and easy find while lunching at this nice park. <°))))>

Love sign of the times caches . Another cool find and an awesome location.

My first find in New Zealand! thanks!!!

Out on a caching expedition late Sunday afternoon, a few people around despite the showery weather. A lovely area, we will return and explore more another time. Great artwork, she especially liked the pukekos. Found cache reasonably quickly, signed log and replaced stealthily.

Had to be sneaky with toolpatcha!

Liked this one! Found with kumara17.

Quick and easy find today. TFTC.

Nice Sunday walk and find

log is all full up - we didnt have any extra paper -next finder plse keep this in mind

It was nice to see many different birds in the bonds!

Nice simple cache. Cool park. Thanks.

We put the bikes on the back of the car and travelled out to Bethlehem to do five of the reserve caches. This was our first one and a great little find. The kids loved the area and playground. TFTC. #75

Out for a scenic drive, doing some caching in some awesome locations. Tftc

Another good find in a lovely park. Tftc

Easy find while in Tga.

Quick find and not too many others around. Tftc

TFTC

Mrs axxxeman racks up another find on a lovely Saturday stroll.

Parked right in front, found munzee too, Tftc , found with my caching ninja's

Another very busy place but a nice quick find.

Had to act casual and pick my moment as the carpark was reasonably full today.
Many thanks

Found after a nice stroll around the wetlands with Monty. TFTC!

Easy find

Came across this cache by chance, was out collecting Munzee's and saw the cahce while looking for the Munzee, an extra bonus

T4TC

Extracted, signed, and returned the cache while surrounded by Muggles. A nice little drive by in a beautiful setting. TFTC.

Saw it immediately but had to come back later to get it to avoid muggles

They don't get much quicker than this. TFTC

They don't get much quicker than this. TFTC

Battery in my iPhone ran out on my way to nearby wetland cache, hunted this one from memory on way back to car.

Well, first to get a name on the new log. I had driven passed many a time, and had thought this would be a great location... Thanks

We have done some pre winter maintenance on our cache.
- Put new fresh log book in and plastic bag to protect it from the weather.
- Checked the cache and it holder is secured at the location ok.
- Made sure the area around the cache is in good condition with no rubbish and all the plants and structures are ok with no damage.
The cache is in good condition and ready for the hardy winter geocachers to find.

Found no problem with sgradon... had to wait a while to put it back though as heaps of muggles around!!

Found with Sarnia89

Showing an old (in his 80s) friend caching and he couldn't believe that that could be hidden there so well...and no, nobody in the houses was looking at us, we reassured him. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find here in between passing muggles and my last cache for the day. A great day clocking up 30 caches from Auckland to Tauranga. TFTC!

Quick grab with Sefrican who did it earlier so she watched amused
TFTC
Cheers nzkeko

Great clue! Busy busy playground! TFTC

Awesome hiding place

A quick find, even with muggles around. TFTC

Found quickly

Quick find for E, her first find today

Easy to find, great first cache!

Nice quick find tftc

We are in Nz from Australia on Chippyroo's Middle Earth Caching Quest and today is our second last full day. We were travelling from Omokoroa (where we stayed in the Kiwi Holiday Park - highly recommended!) to Auckland grabbing caches along the way. There were a couple who work for the local council monitoring the birdlife but we parked the camper between them and GZ for a quick find. There was a mother swan with about 6 babies swimming on the lake and many Canadian Geese as well as an assortment of ducks! TFTC.

Beautiful walkway. I came from the other side so had the pleasure of seeing the pukekos and birds before finding the little cache.. Great fun. Thank you!

Quick find after car load of muggles left. TFTC

2nd visit, was able to retrieve cache as it was a quiet day at the park . TFTC

Up early to do a few caches before the business day. Nice quick find. Last one for the morning. Better go back for breakfast. TFTC

Have enjoyed this series, and the containers used - quiet in the park today

A nice easy find and the kids had a good run around.

Quick grab n go before we settle in for ABs vs Aussies semi final. Not too many muggles considering it is a Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Been on a bike ride with the boys. Let them play at the park whilst I found this one. Nice hide TFTC.

7532 Busy spot today, no problems grabbing the cache once all the muggles moved out of sight, TFTC.

Easy find... Nice spot... TFTC

Loved the whole series and all the other caches in Tauranga. Thanks

So many muggles around here on a Sunday afternoon....had to wait for ages before we could do this one....TFTC

All good. Thanks

Found this ages ago and signed the log but have only just realised that I haven't logged it on here!

Easy find - hard to find a quiet time to go unnoticed!

TFTC

I must say that I like these hides (and appreciate the work that has gone into them, TFTC

4.20pm. It was easy to spot and retrieve.
Thank you. David.

Nice easy find s we walked around wetland tracks TFTC

NIce quick find, TFTC.

Quick find.TFTC

thanks for the cache - lovely area

A straightforward find, with a bit of a stretch, in a rather exposed location. TFTC

i love signs of the times

Nice hide. Parked nearby to give some cover, then went in for the find. Looks like a nice park. Thanks.

# 3127

#350 - Enjoyed watching all the geese, ducks & a swan too. Easy find once the parked cars cleared the way. TFTC

Found on our way around Tauranga on a fantastic sunny day

TFTC

nicely done

Having not done the previous Signs caches I was not certain what to
look for but then the caching brain kicked in and I soon had it
in my hands.



Now I'm two thirds the way through my mission.



Cheers for the cache.

Easy drive-by. Thanks.

Thankfully our dog took a liking to the sign so didnt look so suspicious!

Quick grab to not look too suspicious. Nicely placed. SL TFTC

We were on a mission today to find 30 caches as part of the Master of Geocaching Science Degree (GC2J6AY) challenges and this was find # 19/30.
Managed a quick find and replace between passing muggles T4TC.

Quick easy find. Once I figured out exactly were it was from the car, I waited until the coast was clear and I pounced and had the cache in hand in seconds. TFTC

Agree with previous logs about feeling very exposed when retrieving this one! Helps to have a dog on a leash and to pretend that the reason you are hanging about the cache location is him. TFTC, another "sign" cache ticked off.

Busy little play ground, parked car to block the kids out .

Nice one, thanks. High visibility in all regards!!

Nice quick find, if a little nerve wracking on the visibility front. Thanks.

Nice signs, challenging! thanks.

Quick trip out to the playground with the girls......quick find.

Signed the log and managed to squeeze a GIS fridge magnet in!!!!

TFTC

3.40pm - 4 down 1 to go yay!! TFTC

First Cache for 2011. Found quickly even with out the GPS thanks to the good clue. TFTC.

10.15pm

Happy New Year fellow geocachers!
