Can the cache owner see if they can find and/or replace this cache. Me and friend Rock9 have spend lots of time looking for this and it have disappeared. Please do owner maintenance.

Hard to be very discreet on this one but luckily the only people around were too engrossed in their activities on the pitch.

#3308. Out for an evening picking up some geocaches in the Hutt Valley. This one looked like it might be at a very busy spot on weekends but this evening there were very few people about near the GZ. So drove in and parked near the building. A read of the description and hint saved me a walk out onto the field. Soon had the cache in hand. The existing logbook was damp and hard to write on. So have added a fresh logsheet inside a new plastic bag. Thanks for the cache.
 
07-Jan-17
Tricky find, log bit wet
 
21-Nov-16

10-Sep-16
Thanks very much - the beginning of our geocaching adventures!
 
19-Aug-16
Found on a cycle trip up from Melling with a sharp eyed friend on a glorious fine Lower Hutt day. Well the morning was. The cycle way is a credit to all concerned with its construction and for a "work day" were surprised and the numbers cycling and walk along it. TFTC
 
05-Aug-16
Argh! Rain started to set in but couldn't find it at first glance. We will be back!
 
03-Aug-16
Grabbed this during a weekday lunch break. Surprisingly not a muggle as far as the eye can see. Had to use the hint to find it because the coords are a fair way off.

I had been out to watch my son perform in the Polyfest at Walter Nash Stadium with the family. What a great way to spend the evening. Decided to see if we could find this one on the way home. It was dark and a bit wet but we managed to find it in the end.

Thank you

04-Jul-15
day in lower Hutt so I had to pick up a cache.

Coordinates are 12m out but the clue was spot on. Paper being used as log was sodden. Dried out container, replaced paper for log, transfered the names to the new sheet, and replaced the sealed log bag to a dry one.
 
21-Jun-15
Wet as so took a photo of the FIL and his 2nd find ☺TFTC
 
Log missing and scrap of paper that was substitute is sodden. Cache was full of water.
 
My arm was just long enough. Log absolutely sodden as cache full of water. Needs attention. Watched a bit of school hockey while I was here, this used to be a regular occurrence as my 3 sons were all members of the Hutt Hockey club at school. TFTC

Checked out where softball is played in Wellington so that I could drop off a TB with the mission of getting a photo with our national team. Hopefully a cacher / player will be the next finder.

A couple of photos for DarnSocks - the TB owner of Fraser Park on a Saturday morning with the school leagues in action.

There are approximately 100 Geocaches that I have found over the last month or so and have not found time to log, so I do honestly and sincerely appologize for the lack of originality in my log for this cache, as it will be the same as several others, I am just trying to keep my page up-to-date with my real-time caches (I'm logging my caches on the date-of-find, nonetheless), and since it was found so long ago I don't remember it clearly enough to write anything specific about it. [Log written on the 13/12]. Thanks very muchly for the cache! Smile
