Fanny by Gaslight ?? (Waikato) Cambridge, North Island, New Zealand

Time to go.
Thanks for playing.

I noticed that this cache has been in need of owner attention for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

I don't think 1 DNF would be grounds for disabling a geocache, do you.??

We looked for quite a while, tackled camelias with my partner, geodog & 10yr old brother however we were unsuccessful ... will return to make this a smiley face one day!

Our first geocache! Heaps of excitement. Items getting damp. Might b time for a new box. Thanks for the fun!!

Awesome hiding spot!

This one is wet no lid placed correctly,

Easy find but cache container was open and contents strewn around. Put it back together as best I could and hid it a bit. Suggest owner checks it out soon.

See my find log.

Our first one! Took us a little while to find it, but we know what to do now!

We walked this walkway from the other end, easy find, many thanks TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC.

Nice easy cache. Great for showing my friend how to geocache.

Great cache. TFTC

A bit of a nightmare getting through the camelia twigs. TFTC

Never been down here before, found cache pretty easily. Signed log and re hid a bit better.
TFTC

Very quick easy find. The cache is out in the open and easily spotted. The log is very damp and hard to write it and almost falling apart. Cheers. Thanks for the cache.

Yayyy

Found, but hint was rather misleading.

Once the Navman had settled down and pointed me in the right direction this was a quick find. Tftc.

Finally after a few tries. Someone has tidied up.

Stopped here for a picnic lunch. Checked for caches in the vicinity and found this one to be in close proximity. Quickly had it in hand and log signed. TFTC

Team RAC + a dog. Nice and easy find

Easy find once at GZ.

#1997, quick find. TFTC

Quick easy find - hopefully first of many of the day along the trail.

Great easy find

Great easy find

Nice spot for a walk, cute theatre thanks

Easy find while passing through town - a few muggle cars about, but they must have been out walking TFTC

thanks, fairly easy find despite the gps having us crossing the stream...

It's lovely to see old buildings being put to good use. TFTC

took a while as we thought we had to cross the stream. TFTC

Finally some shade to look for a cache! Not much cover on the rest of the trail caches. TFTC. #308

Last summer the idea was born to visit [Green]'New Zealand'[/Green], together with [url=http://coord.info/PR3NXJG][red]'MimiNemo'[/red][/url]
After some important decisions regarding the beginning of our trip, the flights, the general route and the car were made, the most important question was still unanswered: which caches can we visit during our tour [?]
To get an answer for this topic I was fetching almost every cache from both islands [8)][:X]
[url=http://coord.info/PR3NXJG][red]'MimiNemo'[/red][/url] and I love [Teal]'Geo-Arts'[/Teal]...so we added all these cache series to our wish list
After this decision was made this list was more than 300 puzzle caches long...unsolved puzzle caches
Two weeks before Christmas it was getting time to start solving all these mystery caches
Even with the different language I could find almost every solution
In the case I was not so successful I was contacting some of the CO's...and was always getting help from them...many thanks for this support [:X]

During the following weeks our cache list was growing and growing...meanwhile more than 1000 caches long...too long for a simple bookmark list from GC
Time to get our route and caches in sync...time to save the PQ's to our Garmins...time to start this holiday:

Chapter 21: [green]Rotorua[/green] to [red]Hamilton[/red]
After we had seen some of the beautiful places in [green]Rotorua[/green] we continued our trip to [Navy]'Hamilton'[/Navy]

During our long drive we were also looking for some caches

This cache was one of them

I would like to thank all the cache owners for showing us these great places and maintaining all these caches,
Dev46

Together with [url=http://coord.info/PR3BC8B][red]'Dev46'[/navy][/url][/red] I was on a 'sightseeing-tour' through lovely [Green]'New Zealand'[/Green]
During our great time we could see a lot of beautiful places and we also could find 'some' caches in the area...this was one them [:X]

Many thanks to all CO's for all these nice caches
Dev46

Very easy find. Thanks

Found it! Nice easy find

Found this on our way home to Rotorua after spending the day in Hamilton with my sister and her kids. Needed a cache to drop of a TB so this was perfect.
Drop TB stat you bro
Took geocoin

Was very exposed, we hid it a little better

Left a TB

Found it with friends. A fanny break after a great ride.

Easy find. Stream not river... opps! TFTH

Took longer than it should have.
Thanks

Great day for a find. Brought a new friend and a new geocache seeker with us.

Checked th Cache today, all good.

Took TB.

With my sister leaving town earlier than expected and another contact MIA I had the whole of the geocached Waikato ahead of me this morning. I decided to head to Cambridge as I always liked the (horses) area and it has one of the few shops that I truly enjoy. After a terrible start to my day with a DNF and two couldn't looks, I was very happy to have my luck changing. TN, left my Walkabout Tag TB. TFTC Zork V

Did not take long to find.

Found during our travel on the North Island.

cache was easily found as it was almost uncovered, it is nicely covered and hidden now, tftc

Day two of geocaching road-trip to the Waikato. Off caching with nufrat and this was number eight for the day. A nice easy find - this time by nufrat before me. It was fully exposed, but is now properly covered. TFTC

Found cache exposed. Covered up best I could.

Beautiful theatre. Easy find. Thanks

Our thirteenth cache find of the day. We made a slight detour off Alpha street to grab this cache.
Pulled up nice and close, within a few metres of GZ. Quickly located the cache, signed the log.

Thanks Zork V

Nice cache. Cool story to go with it too

Looked for ages but couldn't find it, even tried using the compass

Thanks, the kids always enjoy finding bigger ones with real treasure! Good location, don't get too near the edge!

Easy find as the sun set. Awesome little spot

Great wee spot at the end of the ride. Found with bikergrannie

Easy find at the end of a good stretch on the bike. With Gaines'em and little Dan

Good one. Had to be good looking cause it's so hard to see.

The Gaslight Theatre is a building I have been interested in having a look at for a while but I didn't quite know where it was, so thanks for placing a geocache here.

Greetings from Germany

thx for the nice and well hidden Cache

Nice easy cache for Cmat and myself.
Covered up as a bit exposed.
T4tc

Don't need to get wet at all

Our first ever geocache. Found only 300m from our home. This is fun!

Up for the Fieldays and some Geocaching, many thanks for placing this here,

Not being very familiar with Cambridge it took a little while to find the way but we got there in the end. Felt very conspicuous crunching around in the dry leaves and it took a bit of probing by Mr S to find the cache.
It was looking a bit sad. Slaters and slugs have made their home in it. Got rid of them. Log still dry tho.

Thanks ZorkV. Another smilie on our Cambridge map.

A bit of probing was required here to make the find.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Good to find this one on way to Tamahere today... Took a bit of hunting but easy when you look in the right place ...TFTC.

Hunted in all the wrong spots before ahha !!!TFTC.

Found after quite a lot of looking, a busy area now that there is a cycle track to velodrome. No TB so I hope Ginga turns up. Sad that people think that this is a great area to dump their rubbish. TFTC

Feeling a little conspicuous searching for this cache & it wasn't quite as easy as I had expected either, but I got there in the end. Took Ginger the Ninja TB - sorry for the confusion with the subsequent finder - I am just slow in logging my finds from NZ. TFTC.

Found the Gaslight but no sign of Fanny but she had left us a smilie!
Left a Ginga Ninja TB to keep her company!
TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Nice quick find. Trackable missing though. TFTC.

quick find on way to Napier. tftc

dropped a tb

269 Have been to the theatre but it looks different in daylight.

Got today all well dropped tb

On the way to 'Slice of Kiwiana' geocaching evening in Hamilton and as there were so many interesting caches for us to do in Cambridge we spent the day in Cambridge first. And we're really pleased we did.
This was an interesting place for a cache - many thanks.

Log book damp and mouldy

9th for today, quick find, in a quiet spot, Tftc.

A quick find this morning while heading to Tauranga. TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

A little early for a nearby renezvous, so had time to fit this one in. cache a bit damp and manky, but found quickly.

TFTC

Was out of place, so I tried to hide it as best as I could. It was in the open. Log wet.

Easy to find. Thanks.

Another place we wouldn't have visited without caching. Even got a guided tour of the theatre! Dropped off a GC. Tftc.

Our 1st one!!

We found the geocache on the 20th October 2013. Clue, it's by a stream...

Quick drive down to the cache and quick find. TFTC

Easy. Quick find. Bit damp. Great location. Thanks!

Found the cache after a quick search. However, the logbook is soaked.

Out with n&g ratbag and marshallfamily57. A cold wind in the air but a beautiful sunny day. Took a while for the gps to settle but then the cache was in hand. Log a little wet but still managed to sign. Tftc

Found it with MSP Phoenix

Not to be beaten, we tried again whilst out walking this sunny, frosty morning. Just a tad deterred by a great, furry dog (or was it a bear!) who loped towards us, PP was successful at last. Cache was wet inside but log book still signable. Tipped out excess water.

No one around so able to have a good long look. However, to no avail as even with two sets of eyes we couldn't find it at or in a big area around the GPS co-ordinates. Must be missing something here so will try again another day.

obvious when you finally see it
