Just cant find a suitable place for a replacement cache unless I hang it on the fence. Not much fun finding one like that. Thanks to all who have visited.
I do realise this has been on hold for some time. I am scratching my head as to where to place the replacement cache.Please wait a little longer.
Cache has gone and there is nothing left at GZ. Cache was disguised as a telecom grey upstand beside the power pole. Its gone so maybe telecom figured it was not real and removed it. However they could have left the jar and log book for me.
I will replace again soon with a new cache but in a different spot and disguise.
Thanks to all who have visited.

Cache check today. Dropped a TB that I had in my bag for way to long. Please move it on as fast as you can
We used to play the horse, horse game with the kids too. Now they seem to rather watch DVD's in the car or listen to music to pass the time.
Many thanks
Many thanks
Great camo. First find for the day has taken us some time to get to this one. Picked up TB. TFTC
Lol, one of my favourite types of camo! Road was quiet when I found it, but the minute it was in hand, there seemed to be a constant stream of cars for what seemed like forever! Dropped off TB. TFTC!
most exellent hide for a cache

Our sixth day of our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia.
This morning we had so say goodbye to Auckland as we continue our journey close to Whitianga. After having breakfast we first pick up our Ferrari red Ford Falcon Futura XR6 and then checked out in the hotel. This is a big car which is also automatic, so for Jo* a lot to get used to, but she drove also. Our first cache of today was one from 2000, called Auckland stash. We continued our journey with a visit to a very nice hidden waterfall. On our way to Hahei where our Hawleys Hehei Bed &Breakfast is locate, we drove through the steep hills with their green ambiance. Sleeping in B&B is again a new experience for us, after getting married, making stop-over and flying to the other side of the world. We would like to grave our own tub on Hot Water Beach, but the weather wasn’t cooperating, so this nice attraction we did not do. Instead of that we visited the caches located around Hahei, the Cathedral cove and had after that we had some talking with our very hospital house owners. Yes, this is the reason why we have chosen New Zealand, we love the beautiful beaches and remarkable views, much more than just the green meadows with cows and sheeps from the inland, although they are beautiful too. This evening it is the first time we go out for dinner. It is a kind of pub, called “the Grange” eating a 100% New Zealand burger. We are logging now in this pub, because the bought 2 Degrees data package does not have coverage here. Damn!
We found this cache today at 10.30 AM local time.
On our way to the high way we came along this cache and therefore we stopped and took a look. We have seen already a lot of these items, but they were real and this was not. Nice hiding place, it looks familiar with the kind of hiding the caches in the Netherlands. The only difference is that the Dutch one are most of the time made from wood. The horses in the meadow were grazing.

A absence of horses but not an absence of a cache...and an excellent one at that. Thanks
Luckily we have met one of these before so it was an easy find. Horses at the other end of the paddock.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Found on our 24hr cache-a-tron mission from Auckland to the Waikato. Camo couldn't stand in our way, we were on a roll, TFTC

Nice camo - but it didn;t hold out to the force of nature which was the C-A-T team - we were quickly onto it

Nice little hide, but team cache-a-tron didn't let this bit of camo stand in our way. TFTC.

A nice quick drive by and the last for the day. There were some horses nearby! TFTC!
I enjoy seeing the ingenuity of different hides, had me going for a bit and was last place I thought to look, TFTC
This is a very busy road so had to time my retrieval and replacement carefully.
Cheers for the cache.

Not far from home. Wasn't sure I was allowed to lift the lid. Any way soon had cache in hand. TFTC
We were muggled by half a dozen horses which watched curiously as we made the find. Very nice camo on this one thanks.

Very good hnide, not too difficult. Our 2nd ever attempt at geocaching.... great fun, my son very disappointed the kids badge not there....
A clever hide that blends in very well to look totally natural. And a new game to play with passengers too on long trips.
We were on a mission tonight to complete one of the Master of Geocache challenges. Our mission was to find 5 caches between one hour after sunset and one hour before sunrise. After a great weekend of caching in the Waikato, we checked with our friend google and timed our visit to the area at 8.20pm which would be exactly one hour after sunset.
We arrived at 8.25pm and although we were in a reasonably rural area there was quite a bit of fast moving traffic rushing by. Luckily it was a nice warm night but it was really dark with no moon and no stars to provide any natural light. With the help of our trusty torch we soon spotted someting that didn't belong and sure enough a cache was revealed at 8.29pm. Great hide but didn't see any horses tonight, now for the next 4 T4TC.

What horse>> None around today to help me have a quick findwhen going to the big bad city. TFTC
Was in the area today so decided to pick up the "new" caches published since the last time I was out here. Parked near GZ and quickly spotted the well constructed cache. Did not hang around too long and the rain was bucketing down and the rain coat was now starting to let some water through. TFTC

Loved Horse Horse, we play a similar game called "Tractor" where you call out Tractor when you see a Tractor for 1 point, "Tractor Yard" for 3 or more tractors within one yard/paddock for 3pts and "Moving Tractor" for a whopping 5pts.
Cache was found by Breannah (10) as part of Team Geckoh, it was found at around midnight so she was a bit sleepy.

Just got home from finding Marmis's new cache and the notification came through for this new listing. Jumped back in the car and shot out to GZ hoping for a FTF! Found the cache easily - loved the hint on this one, very clever hide! Must of just missed out on the FTF...! Aahh well next time! TNLN SL - TFTC!
